EPISODE 2 | WHAT KIND OF PLACE IS THIS‽

It's dark. Oka's vision began to clear gradually, still a bit blurry. "Oh, where am I?" Oka was delirious—he was alive? "Am I dead?" He said softly. Oka's vision begins to clear, blinking, perfectly visible. The crystal ceiling. What? The crystal ceiling above his is the first thing Oka sees, once his eyes are fully clear.

Oka gasped softly, rubbing his eyes "Uh, where is this?" Realization dawns, and he wonders. Getting up, he looked around.

Beautifully carved crystal walls enclosed him. Hundreds of gold chains bound the walls, like iron bars or nets, with a glass floor. It was like a giant chicken-cage. And Oka was trapped inside.

"Am I still in the world? Maybe this is just a dream." Oka wondered. Then he pinched his cheek, testing if it was just a dream—he knew this from some anime he had watched. It hurts. It wasn't a dream. Oh my!

Deg.

Suddenly Oka began to panic. Panting slowly, still in disbelief, but still trying to calm his mind. Slowly starting to accept reality. Oka exhaled, "Huh...," caught his breath, relaxed again. Good.

"Don't tell me this is the afterlife." Oka looked around, trembling with fear.

"So this is what the afterlife looks like. It's very different from what I've known so far." Oka nodded while holding his chin.

"Or maybe it's still in the grave."

Oka looked around again. This unusual scene was so unfamiliar. This large walled room enclosed him.

It was quiet for a few seconds.

"WHAT KIND OF PLACE IS THIS‽" Oka shouted out loud in the room—like Patrick trapped in Sandy's house.

Oka coughed, "Uh, now what do I do?" Oka was confused. Then he crossed his legs because he didn't know what to do. "Maybe wait a little while until the two angels come and ask me questions."

It was quiet again.

Oka looked to the side, stunned. His eyes widened, unable to believe what he was seeing. There was something glittering lying next to him.

It was the golden kris that had just killed him!

Oka picked up the golden kris. "Why is this golden kris here?" Oka looked at the golden kris in his hand intently, taking a few seconds to scrutinize the details of the pattern and engravings. Oka had memorized the characteristics of the museum's golden kris, just by observing it so carefully beforehand. It was indeed the museum's golden kris.

"How did you get carried away with me? Weren't you the one who got me killed so I could be here?" Oka fussed (alone) with the golden kris.

"How did that golden kris get carried away with you? It doesn't seem to be the golden kris that got carried away with you, Young Man. It is you who was carried away with it." Suddenly, an old man's hoarse voice told Oka from behind.

Oka gasped, immediately looking back in the direction of the voice. Startled, Oka's eyes widened, terrified. Oka could clearly see the figure of the owner of the voice. It wasn't an old man!

It was a huge white tiger (about twenty meters in size).

"AAAAAAAAAH!!!!" Oka screamed hysterically, so scared, his hair stood on end.

"Calm down, Young Man! I won't hurt you." The great white tiger said softly—though still terrifyingly, trying to calm the panicked Oka, he could actually talk. There were golden chain shackles around the great white tiger's neck, restraining him.

"Si...si...since when have you been behind me? The...the...the...then, w...w...why can you talk? A... are you actually an angel?" Oka tried to ask, though still stammering, trembling with fear.

"Huh? I've been behind you," the great white tiger replied confused.

"What‽" Oka was more confused, flinching.

"It seems like you haven't realized my existence yet. Maybe it's because the process of building life is still a bit loading, so you can't see me yet," the great white tiger guessed.

"Then, I am not an angel. I'm actually just as human as you are, Young Man."

Oka calmed down a bit at that statement, but also wondered, "Human? Then... how did you become a great white tiger? Do you have some kind of power to change your form. I mean, what does your true form look like? Honestly because... that tiger form of yours kinda scares me, ehe-he ...."

The great white tiger laughed amiably. Smiling with the face of a cat. "Yes, well, I can change my form into a great white tiger. This is my final form of evolution. This evolutionary form of mine is called Magnificent Tiger. Actually, I also want to show my human form, but unfortunately, I can't because of the shackles of the Bier seal." The great white tiger looked up, revealing the golden shackles around his neck. Hundreds of golden chains dotted the walls of the room connected to the golden shackle.

"This shackle is directly connected to this room. This seal is like a dimension that confines and binds the victim within. Huf, really annoying. These chain shackles and this prison room are manifestations of the seal. In other words, we are inside the seal. This seal is also what trapped me in my great white tiger form."

Oh my. already imprisoned, shackled too. Poor tiger grandfather, Oka thought.

"Oh, yes, sorry, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Maulana Rahadian Malik. You can call me Old Man Radian." Old Man Radian, the great white tiger's nickname, agreed.

"Uh..., my name is Oka." Oka replied, telling his name as well.

"Hmmm..., Oka." Old Man Radian nodded.

"Uh, that's it... Old Man Radian, earlier you said that it was not this golden kris that was carried away with me, but it was I who was carried away with it," Oka showed the golden kris in his hand, "Can you explain what you meant by that?" Oka asked curiously.

"Of course I can explain, Oka Boy. Because that golden kris is mine," Old Man Radian said.

"Eh‽" Oka gasped again.

Old Man Radian continued, "To explain that, you must first listen to my story, about how I came to be sealed in this place."

Old Man Radian cleared his throat, starting to tell the story, "Actually... I am a king of a kingdom called Konawe Perlak. If I am not mistaken, my kingdom is located in the Southern region of this country. I don't know, I've also forgotten a lot because I've been locked up for three millennia (3,000 years)."

Three millennia? Oka was stunned.

"I was able to be sealed in this dimension because of my battle three millennia ago. Back then, I fought the bloody villain. He was even nicknamed the Demon King of the South. The villain called himself Great King Jalil Jenar Mangkurat, and he was my best friend." Old Man Radian smiled bitterly.

Oka was even more stunned. What?

"Jenar and I are two reincarnations. Neither of us is from this world like you, son," Old Man Radian continued.

"Huh‽" Oka gasped at that. It turned out that he was not the only one who was brought here, let alone the first.

Old Man Radian laughed crisply. "I expected you to be surprised to hear that. Well, you're not the only one brought into this world, Boy. There are quite a few other reincarnations too, they're scattered out there, spread across every corner of the country. And the Southern Demon King was the first reincarnation that became my friend. We survived as a duo in this world, traveling across the country, conquering horrible monsters, exploring forbidden areas, not a single drop of ink left to write down the experiences we had together. Over the years, we both grew stronger, until we became two kings, and ruled our respective kingdoms."

Apparently this is in isekai. Cool. Finally, it turns out that isekai really exists. The world I've dreamed of all this time is finally realized. Wow, how exciting. Oka thought to herself, smiling happily.

"However, until that day," Old Man Radian looked away, looking down sadly, "the day when we both tried to defeat the previous Demon King ...." Old Man Radian was silent for a moment, quiet.

"Long story short, we managed to defeat the Demon King. At that time, I did not know that the Demon King had attacked my best friend at the last second he was killed. He attacked my best friend with an attack that seemed to have no effect, let alone pain, making me think it was a trick. The attack actually attacked the soul of the affected person, planting a seed of evil in the victim's core conscience. Like a virus. It was a very dangerous black skill, called the Mangsi Gelita Atma spell. The skill is only useful for passing on the user's evil will. It is suitable for passing on the user's crimes that are not achieved or commit suicide.

"The attack also grew like a parasitic seed, implanting evil power in my friend's conscience, slowly eating away at it. Oh, poor Jenar." Old Man Radian said softly, snorting.

Silence.

"My best friend could no longer contain the evil forces within him, until in the end, he became the Devil King's successor without me realizing it, becoming the cruel and vicious dictator of his kingdom. My best friend began waging war in the Southern region, all the way to my territory. Right on the battlefield, I couldn't believe what I was seeing. I was wide-eyed with sadness. The togetherness, hardships, laughter, and every wound of struggle that I felt with him in the past, had to be shattered into pieces, when I saw him laughing like a demon in front of me. I thought the old days would be peaceful with her. But unfortunately, fate seemed to tell me otherwise.

"My battle with him was fought with a heavy heart. Until the final battle, I used my strongest evolution, transforming into a huge, glowing white tiger (the embodiment of the guardian: Magnificent Tiger). Meanwhile, Jenar with the black evolution of the monster version, his form was very terrible, using tivikrama mode or giant transformation (the embodiment of an titan: Bloodmane Werepanther ). Transformed into my werepanther titan, he is as big as a mountain—thirty times bigger than me (about 600 meters more), has 4 long fangs, pointed teeth, a protruding tongue, 4 hands, and very sharp dark red fur, like a porcupine. The dark red color of its fur was blood, which merged with its body. And on each of its spiky feathers, there are thousands of sharp-clawed blood hands, as well as a evil face sticking out a fiery tongue. It's a very strange and terrifying nightmare."

Oka gulped in horror at the thought.

"Seeing his titan form, I then used my tivikrama mode as well, transforming into a nova-fueled celestial tiger of equal magnitude. A mighty battle ensued, a battle on the scale of a natural disaster. The two of us destroyed most of the South. We fought a fierce, desperate, death battle for three months without stopping, utilizing all our skills and magics.

"Until the last moment, when we were both badly beaten. I finally succeeded in rendering Jenar helpless, defeating his tivikrama dark evolutionary form, he returned to his normal human form.

"I then pounced on him until he lay down, Jenar was about to die at that time. So at the last second, he smiled wickedly, using his Biacon seal skill, an absolute sealing skill, which requires the user to sacrifice their life as payment, a skill that is perfect for suicide. He sealed me as well.

"My neck was instantly restrained by golden shackles, walls of golden chain crystals towering around, surrounding and enclosing me. I thought hard for a split second at that moment, knowing I would be sealed forever, and then I sent my golden kris to the regular world, with my high teleportation magic, plus the soul-withdrawing magic I had embedded in the golden kris. In the end, all my skills were completely sealed, unable to be used. The reason I sent the golden kris was so that someone would be killed by it, though the chances of that happening were almost nil, but it was the only way to go. That way, the person killed by the golden kris would be reincarnated, and brought into this world. That's the answer to why I said earlier that it wasn't the golden kris that was carried away with you. It was you who was carried away with it," Embah Radian concluded.

"Wait, so you wish for me to die‽ and then be carried here so that I can free you‽ Can you say that you intentionally killed someone by sending your golden kris, and then someone was accidentally killed with it, as if it wasn't your doing. It's like putting a nail in the road. That's why I can't go to the afterlife, because of your actions, plus, you're actually the one responsible for me being killed. Is that what you really mean?" Oka protested, pointing the golden kris in his hand.

Old ManRadian turned his head, "What‽ No-no, of course you weren't killed because of me, son. Your being killed in the previous world was your destiny there. And technically speaking, actually someone who is killed is not said to be completely dead." Old Man Radian cleared his throat, "Look, what I mean is, when someone dies or passes away, their soul actually goes out, leaves their damaged body, because it cannot be used anymore, and goes to the afterlife. However, in essence, a person's soul does not die, the soul is actually still alive, while what dies is only the body. A person can only be said to be dead if his soul leaves the body and goes to the afterlife as a condition. Your body in the previous world was really dead, but you are still alive, because you did not fulfill the condition, which is to go to the afterlife. That's because my golden kris has actually saved you from death, aka the afterlife. My golden kris only transferred the soul from your body in the previous world to here. With the condition that your body there must be damaged by the golden kris, so that your soul comes out and can then be carried. Like a hook that catches a fish. You should be grateful, son, because it's like you've been given a chance to live, to add more to your afterlife deeds, with a new life in this world. After all, you don't want to go to the afterlife now, do you? With your age being in its golden age, which is still young again. Are you prepared for your afterlife?"

Oka nodded in understanding. That's right, yes. After all, it's the isekai I've always wanted. "Uh ..., then ..., sorry, I was mistaken. Thank you for bringing me here." Oka apologized.

Old Man Radian smiled, laughing a friendly, forgiving laugh.

Back to the story.

"Hundreds of years passed. I kept waiting in the seal room, hoping someone would come. Unfortunately, my body was sealed with the form of a big white tiger so that I could not die unless I was attacked with a very strong attack. This form confines the soul of its use if it is not released. My human form may have long since decayed inside, but my soul was confined. Someone outside the seal cannot help me, this seal cannot be seen from the outside and found, because it confines its victims in another dimension, as if disappearing from the world." Old Man Radian ended. Silence, quiet. Exhaled slowly. Then looked at Oka slowly.

Oka was stunned. Five seconds of silence.

"So you, Oka, finally after three millennia of being trapped, you came to my rescue. My wait is over. This meeting is our destiny, the beginning of your destiny and the end of my destiny in this world." Old Man Radian said respectfully.

Oka was stunned by Embah Radian's words. What? "The beginning of your destiny (me) and the end of my destiny (Old Man Radian)"? Before Oka could question that sentence, Old Man Radian said something serious.

"Listen to me, Oka! The golden kris in your hand is a very powerful weapon. My golden kris is made from my blood, so it can absorb my magic and transfer it to the wielder when thrust at me. It is the only weapon that can harm me now." Old Man Radian moans softly, snorting.

Oka was stunned. He seemed to know what Embah Radian was talking about. The end of his destiny? The only weapon that can hurt her? Oka felt a little uneasy, like something bad was coming. He knew what Embah Radian meant, no, but his wishes—

"Son Oka, I don't know the state of my kingdom out there anymore. Surely a lot of things have happened, maybe it has collapsed, or become a legend. I don't care anymore. Thinking about it only makes me anxious. All I want now is freedom and to rest in peace. So please, Young Man Oka ...." Old Man Radian looked at Oka for a long time.

Oka's breath catches, preparing for his bad guess.

Five seconds of silence.

"Please kill me, Young Man Oka!" Embah Radian says softly.

Oka is stunned, right, nodding slowly. I'm sure Old Man Radian must have suffered three millennia under seal. I can't imagine myself in her situation. Indeed, she is immortal, feeling nothing, no pain, but of course it is also agonizing. Imagine three millennia of boredom, shackled as well. It was great that Old Man Radian still kept her sanity. So to relieve his suffering, only release him from the seal, with death the only way. Old Man Radian has lived so long, that she no longer cares about the world. It is better to die than to be confined until the end of the world. Old Man Radian longed for death.

Oka grasped the golden kris with both hands, trembling slightly bitterly, lifting the golden kris slowly.

Old Man Radian bowed his head, inviting it to stab him.

Oka prepared, "HIAAAAH!" he shouted, and the golden kris pierced Old Man Radian's forehead, cras, fresh blood came out of it.

"AAARGH!" Old Man Radian roared in pain.

"Ekh!" Oka screamed.

TRIIING! The golden dagger that pierced then glowed brightly. Siuh! Multicolored lights like long cloth came out of the dagger, glittering beautifully. Siuh-siuh-siuh ..., the lights came out more and more, siuh-siuh-siuh ..., moving in all directions. Dozens of cloths of light ran through the room, enveloping it. The golden dagger also emitted light dust, sparkling like crystal, billowing beautifully. The seal room was sprinkled with millions of galactic stars, so colorful. Those lights were the effects of Embah Radian's great power.

"AAAAAAAAAARGH!!!" Embah Radian's roar grew louder.

"Eeeeekh!" Oka continued to thrust the golden kris, growling.

Siuh-siuh-siuh..., cloths of light then spread over Oka's hands, like bandages, and then over the rest of his body, starting all over, down to the thousands of nerves, fully enveloped, like a mummy or a cocoon, glowing. Connecting Oka with Embah Radian, then transferring Embah Radian's great power to Oka. Oka is like a battery charged with millions of volts.

"AAAAAAARGH!!!" Oka screamed at the top of his lungs, enduring the pain of the force she was receiving.

"AAAAAAARGH!!!" Embah Radian did the same.

Oka's body shrank, but his strength increased dramatically. His body shrank as he absorbed more power.

Nging-nging-nging .... Embah Radian's power flowed in fabrics of light, continuing to transfer it, while Oka continued to absorb.

"AAAAAAARGH!!!" They both continue to scream, enduring the pain of the transfer.

Oka's neural network is on fire, flowing power, like electrical wires, light dust permeating. Triiing! Oka's eyes and mouth glow, Oka looks up, "AAARGH!" screaming in pain.

Oka's body shrank even more, while Embah Radian's body became transparent.

Nging-nging-nging .... Continue transferring power for five minutes.

KRANG! The golden shackles around Embah Radian's neck shatter, tring-tring-tring...! Followed by thousands of disjointed gold chains, clanking, tring-tring-tring...!

TRAS! Embah Radian's great white tiger form exploded, becoming grains of light, revealing his true figure.

A dashing grandfather, a tall, sturdy body, as tall as a professional basketball player, a long white beard, several scars on his face, a gaze full of authority, wearing a turban, like a saint, wearing crystal armor, with a white robe covered in purple, typical of kings, and in the form of a luminous spirit.

Krak-krak-krak .... The walls of the seal began to crumble.

"Eeekh," Oka grimaced. Her body had shrunk considerably, her stature becoming that of a 14-year-old teenager, her clothes somewhat baggy.

"Hah-hah-hah ...." Oka gasps in exhaustion, his energy drained.

Oka looked at Embah Radian's true form and grinned, "That's what you look like." Oka said weakly.

"Yes, Oka boy. Finally after three millennia. I'm very grateful to you," Embah Radian said, looking around and seeing that his limbs had returned to normal, completely overjoyed.

Embah Radian then looked at Oka, gasped a little, seeing her become a 14 year old teenager, "Ah, your body, I'm really sorry. I didn't think you would shrink, become younger." Embah Radian regrets.

Oka was stunned, examining her body, realizing it had shrunk, becoming shorter, "Eh, that's right. Why did I become a child? What happened?" Oka was surprised.

"Hmmm, maybe because your low level forced you to absorb too much of my power. Your body, which doesn't have enough mana for large-scale absorption, made it instead use the life force in the body's cells, replacing the mana that was lacking. As a result, your body shrank, due to the reduced number of cells." Embah Radian explained, "Sorry, I didn't expect this at all."

"Hmmm, I see, yes," Oka said, looking at his shrunken limbs.

"Your body can probably grow again. And at the very least, my great power is now yours. You won't have to struggle to increase your power in this world anymore. Maybe you just need to learn to use my power more optimally." Embah Radian smiled with a knot.

"Eh, right too." Oka was slightly stunned.

"You have complete control over my powers now, and I don't care about my powers anymore. I don't know how and what you'll use them for, nor can I force you to of course. But I'm sure you're not a bad person. Of course I caution you to use it well."

Silence.

"Well, it looks like my spirit form doesn't last much longer, that's my message, I leave my power to you. Take good care of yourself. Wasalam." Embah Radian closed her eyes, looked up, TRING! Embah Radian's spirit body moksa (disappeared), accompanied by sparks of light, like fireflies.

The walls of the seal had completely collapsed. TRAS! The seal's dimension space is broken—disappeared. The seal vanishes because the person it seals no longer exists.

Desolate.

Ceting-ceting-ceting-ceting-ceting...! Small holographic screens appear, floating in front of Oka, tinkling with notifications, like a VR UI system. Showing his profile, which had acquired a variety of skills at unbelievable levels. The holographic screens are only visible in her vision. Above Oka's vision there is also a horizontal line, indicating the compass points (N, E, S, W).

Gatra Kirana level 99,875 ༒

Kartika Pamor level 370,378 ☄

Pamong Praja level 200,456 𖤍

Pancasona level ∞☠

....

"This is just like a cheat-powered anime MC who instantly overpowers." Oka was overjoyed to see her profile on the holographic screen.

Oka looked around, "Alright, now where is this?"

Oka was now in a cave dungeon, which was an ancient ruin.

Siing, a large framed inscription appeared in his vision, luminous, blue in color, bearing the name of the place he was in, Oka read it.

WANA DWINARAPATI DAKSINA: Gaung Giriwarsa Jatarupa.

Oka looked around again, standing on the floor of a ruined castle hall, rocky, in the shape of a wide circle. The debris of the temple-shaped buildings were scattered about, seemingly fused into the walls of the cave, with thousands of glowing crystals clinging to them, enough to give the cave space some illumination. The large pillars of the broken temple towered very high, as if they were supporting the ceiling of the cave, one of the pillars supporting the slope.

There was also a sound around, a sound like a theme song, which is found in open world games, or massively multiplayer role-playing games (MMORPGs). The sound comes directly from the atmosphere or air.

"Eh, is there a song?" Oka was surprised when she heard it.

The song was instantly audible in the ears, just like the thumping heard when closing both earholes with a finger.

"Apparently this isekai is like a game world."

Clicking, Oka tapped the holographic screen, opening another profile, reading the power stats.

Power Stats

Attack Potential: Atma

Speed: 143-102.0272.328

Lifting Power: 8.829.026.156

Attack Power: 30.258-7.292.289.363

"Wow..., my power stats just went up like a god." Oka was stunned.

Silence.

"Alright, now how do I get out of this place. Let me search first, there should be many skills I can use." Click, click, click, Oka tapped on the holographic screen, searching for useful skills, scrolling, reading the columns of information.

"Wind Saifi. A skill created by the Mystic Blacksmith, Lord Arya Kamandanu." .... Multifunctional. In addition to attacking, this skill can also be used to move quickly up to the speed of teleportation. How to use .... Hmmm, maybe this skill can help me." Oka nodded, "Okay, I'll give it a try."

Oka then set up a stance, preparing to use the skill, Wind Saifi. Crossing his arms over his chest, lowering his head, closing his eyes, catching his breath, concentrating. Raised his head again, opened his eyes, spread his arms to the sides.

"Wind Saifi!"

WUUUS! A strong wind whipped across his body, a small tornado enveloping him, his long hair fluttering upwards. Oka laughed happily, "Ha-ha!"

Oka tries a short flight, succeeds, starts flying slowly. Oka stretched his arms out to the sides, trying to keep his balance, "Uwo-wo-wow...," successfully flying five meters. Tried to straighten up in the air, great.

"Alright, now it's time to take flight."

Hap, Oka raised his fist upwards, trying to bounce his body, in a superhero flying style. WUUUS! Oka flies too fast - "WALAAAAH...!" Oka screamed in vain, unable to control his overpowering strength, swaying in the air.

BRUK! Then it crashed into the cave wall, making her see the stars-the real ones in this isekai.

Brugh! Landing on the side of a large, slanted pillar, which was also very wide, it plummeted. "Uh,... ouch." Oka grimaced, rubbing his bumped head, small stars swirling above his head. Fortunately, Oka's body was not crushed, thanks to his now very high endurance.

Oka gets up, stands on the side of the large, slanted pole, and looks around up there. Lost in thought. Oka saw a very unusual view of the cave's furnace. An underground world with a stone sky, perhaps similar to the Nether World in Minecraft. Cave monsters could be seen in the distance.

It was quiet.

There are animal-type monsters: balung (big snake), blorong (snake man), ahool (monster bat), warak nghendog (small dragon with horns), kala (big scorpion), huci-huci (monster owl); undead-type, like zombies: jerangkong, pocong, kuntilanak, leak, laweyan, bajangkrek, hajasira; spirit-type: banaspati (fire spirits), dedemit (evil humanoid spirits), fairies; even the mimic types, which take the form of objects like mimic monsters: limas (camouflaged as scarves), wewedon (camouflaged as white cloth), karanjang (camouflaged as treasure baskets or treasure chests), and many more. They all pass by, enlivening the cave's terraces, guarding their respective territories, which are like gloomy temples. Some territories also had ruling monsters, aka their bosses, bigger and more terrifying, perched on top of giant castles or temples. It looks like this cave furnace is a monster lair.

"Eh..., why are those monsters even like supernatural or mythical creatures in my country‽ I thought these isekai monsters would be like arustama (mainstream) monsters. Like most in isekai anime, movies, comics, and fantasy novels." Oka was shocked when she saw the monsters.

Even so, Oka was stunned to see them. Instead of being frightened by the monsters, Oka was mesmerized. Although it looked gloomy and draining, the view of the cave's dungeon was pretty cool.

"Wow..., really like a video game." Oka gaped at the sight. "Fantastic! Hey, this is interesting, it's even becoming like a fantasy game with a local feel. I think this adventure in isekai will be much different. Besides, I'm also tired of monsters that are mostly from overseas. Those supernatural creatures look cool in this isekai instead of horror movies." Oka said enthusiastically, staring at the cave's dungeon scenery.

Kuntilanak, banaspati, leak, ahool were flying through the air on the ceiling of the cave; pocong and jerangkong were walking around on the surface; kala, balung, and warak ngendhog were nesting on the walls of the cave. Fortunately, Oka is quite far from them, tens of kilometers away.

Ten seconds of silence.

A speck of light shines on Oka's cheek from above, Oka notices the light, looks up, sees where it's coming from, squints, looks more focused - with his powers now, Oka is able to see through his eyes. A fairly wide gap in the ceiling, as wide as a doorway, the gap is very high, almost 300 meters. But that's not a problem for Oka now, he just needs to use his Saifi Angin again to get there.

Oka exhales. "Alright Oka, you can use this skill. It's just like a video game," Oka tried to reassure himself.

Oka clenched both fists, with his hands bent at the waist, preparing to use Saifi Angin again. Standing on top of the big pole. Glance down, glance up, gulp in horror, really really high, shake his head, forget it. Oka's breath catches in his throat, he takes a stance, ready to move his body again.

Staring intently at the gap.

"Saifi Wind!" Exclaimed steadily.

SIUUUH! Oka darted hard into the gap, and kept darting. Plup! Out through it, out of a crack in the slope of a giant, golden-peaked mountain.

"WAAAH!" Oka screamed, his facial skin tugging at the air, making him look ugly.

SIUUUH! Still slipping fast, like a rocket, slipping very far into the sky.

Three minutes into the flight, Oka had already reached the atmosphere, right there because Oka had soared from the top of a giant mountain that was already very high. A few seconds later, Oka's speed began to decrease, and Oka began to free fall, his long hair fluttering, the atmospheric wind pounding in his ears, making him slightly deaf.

The expanse of the world as far as the eye can see, so clear from up there, so mesmerizing, amazing, from end to end of the horizon, the morning sunlight hits Oka's face and the surface of the earth. Such a neat panorama, so majestic.

Oka's shouting stopped instantly, speechless, gaping. This was a far more spectacular sight than the previous cave terrace.

Oh, really... shit, crazy, shit. This is really beautiful, Oka thought.

Lengang (could only stand watching, mesmerized with amazement).

"WUUUHUUUUUUUUU!!!" Break! Oka exclaimed enthusiastically.

Oka flew like a free bird.

The previous theme song in the cave furnace changed, now singing symphonic notes, adding to the splendor of nature.

Oka flew over a mountainous region with golden peaks.

The sun was just rising on the horizon, its golden light hitting the surface. It was still early in the isekai. The sun was ringed like Saturn, but with rainbow-colored rings. The mega (clouds) were still thick all around. The dense forest was still slightly covered in mist, similar to a tropical forest. Mountain peaks pierced through the clouds.

Thousands of giant temples the size of mountains, rising equally high through the clouds, look magnificent from afar, scattered on the surface of the forest. There were large cities on the tiers of the giant temples.

Flying islands floated in the sky. Thousands of tree roots connect the child islands with the mother islands.

Giant Benara (ancient towers) emit beacons, very tall, like pillars of the earth, clawing at the sky.

Hundreds of dragons fly in colonies. The dragons are characterized by their serpentine bodies, hairy, but bird-like wings and legs.

Garuda flew solo in search of prey, stalking the dragon colony.

A colony of ajara (pegasus) galloped in the sky.

"Wow ...." Oka was mesmerized, smiling happily.

There was a giant tree piercing through the sky, like a throne supporting the sky and the earth, a great distance ahead of Oka, perhaps thousands of kilometers. Even so, the giant tree still looks very large, even more than a mountain. It looked like some kind of tree of life.

Sring, Oka focused his vision on the tree, looking through it. Sing, a large framed inscription appears, displaying the name of the giant tree in the vision.

BATANG GARING

Thirty minutes of silence in the sky.

Wuuuus..., Oka is still freefalling, he's scanning the fantastic places below him, on the surface of the forest-just so he doesn't get bored, observing the unique and odd flora and fauna of this isekai. Hey, this is fun.

Click, click, click. While scrolling through the description of the skills possessed, reading it. Don't you relax first?

Wuuus ..., then freefall, with a relaxed sitting position breech or upside down, supporting the right calf on the left knee. Woi, relax again, my friend. Oka's clothes were fluttering.

A huge shadow suddenly came from above, overshadowing Oka, darkening his entire body. Oka reads with a frown on his lips, not yet noticing the huge figure, still casually reading the information on the holographic panel.

"Eh!" Oka was stunned, glanced with squinted eyes, highlighted the enormous figure above him, saw clearly the figure. New realization.

"EEEEEEEEHHHH!!!"

It was a giant rooster, falling from the sky‽

Sing, Oka's vision displayed a large framed sign, bearing the name of the giant rooster.

BOS MONSTER: Manuk Patiaraja

"Petok!" Manuk Patiaraja squawked.
