Kzel left the Command Space when Fjora began to flirt due to their prolonged conversation. He waved her goodbye and disappeared. Back in the cave, Aviree and Cleera looked at him with a surprised look but they did not entertained their curiosity. Their discerning eyes only followed him wherever he go.

The Rzir went to a corner and sat down with crossed his legs. When he closed his eyes, he started to search deep inside him for a power that has yet to awaken.

"It's impossible!" Kzel muttered to himself. The information he received came from Fjora's personal knowledge and experience--it was very specific that the power he must look for was in his very existence. He tried again until he became unconscious of everything around him.

There, he floated within nothingness. No air, no heartbeat, no sound....it seemed like his consciousness travelled to another dimension. In that emptiness, he saw a black smoke--darker than the night, just like the ones before. Kzel immediately realized that this was it. He must reach for it. Summoning all his will, he exerted his consciousness to the black smoke but was swept away back into the breeze of his present reality.

When Kzel opened his eyes, he raised his hand and saw an empty black magic circle.

Kzel grinned from ear to ear after reading the notifications. But a frown followed, 'Do I have to unlock all of this avatar's features?'

"Huh?" Kzel leaned backward upon seeing Aviree and Cleera very close to him. After seconds, he noticed that they were intently looking at the empty magic circle on his hand.

"I see!" The Rzir stretched his fingers, recalling how Fjora did it and the magic circle left its connection with his existence and then floated in the air.

When the two studied the designs of the magic circle, Kzel wanted to test his physical cultivation and did some push ups. He found out that his strength was so high that his body was too light to lift. He then started running around so fast that he made a lot of commotions. Aviree and Cleera could only watch him speechless. He was like a child, discovering the wonders of the world.

Kzel decided to wander further inside the cave. After a minute of walking, a notification popped up in his vision.

>>Warning! You are about to enter the Glittering Cave!<<

>>Detected that player's level is too low for dungeon!<<

>>Detected that player have followers!

Do you want to add them to your party?<<

Kzel chose to enter and selected the hard difficulty. He still added Aviree and Cleera to his party, just in case he was in trouble. He will be able to call for their help.

"Now! Time to test my Nimble Talent."

A woman hid in the darkness as she warily watched two of the Shinbi Race argue to death. Punches were thrown and a deadly grapple on the ground commenced.

Brane(Bane) was securing a Choke Hold around the neck of Render(Ender). Fortunately, Render's hand was able to grab hold of a stone and smashed it on Brane's face.

Brane clutched his bleeding face. Render took advantage of this and tried to tackle Brane into the ground. However, this is exactly what Brane wanted his opponet to do. He twisted his body to the side and used Render's momentum to redirect him on the ground.

"Ah! You shit!" Render cursed unable to get up anymore from fatigue. The fight had gone for hours and they're nowhere close to a decisive victory.

"I should have known you'd chicken out, Ender!" Brane wearily strolled towards Render and pounded him in a Full Mount. Render couldn't even raise his hands to defend himself, but his jaws still have the power. He bit Brane's leg and a cry followed. Render took this chance and used all of his remaining strength to sweep Brane to the side.

The two Shinbis laid motionless on the ground for about two minutes. Sometime later, Brane opened his mouth while panting, "It's so hard to survive in this network of planets. We have one chance to escape that and you BLEW IT! I'm going to kill you Ender!"

"Thanks man!" Render replied with a chuckle. "I wonder how our brothers are doing. Did Jikein have the curiousity to try this kind of experience?"
