Shad Darc has now spent his first night in this strange forest and has also comes to know some strange things.
It is not that it really matter anymore for he has come to accept some disturbing fact about him coming here his present concern is how to escape this abomination of creature which now looks at him even more intently.
"Well, I think is time to move on but let's strengthen myself first".
Was actually referring to his other identity.
"So what's the plan"? He asked.
"Wait a minute, I have a question".
"Go on". Said the pondering fighter identity as if expecting the coming question.
"When you said I had about fifty percent chance of survival where actually referring to the fact that I would come to know the feeling of flow"?
"Yes I was" he answered plainly.
"So how did you know no instead why you were so certain about the fifty percent chance of survival?
"Hmm". He faint thinking for while which is kind of weird considering he already know what the answer would be.
"Damn I am really mad"
"We'll let say we were already aware of what the feeling of flow is to some certain extent I mean you used to have such thought and dreams which is really weird but none the less let just say it is instinct".
"Instinct you say" He said while looking at the now morning view of the strange forest.
Unlike when he first came to the forest which was around the evening time the forest was clouded in deep fog and was also warm insead of cold considering the conditions at that time but for some strange it is the exact opposite the fog has resided by a considerable amount the sun is shining shining as it should with the nine moons up there in circular alingment to each other, instead of forest being warm it was now cold.
"Such contradictions, this forest just got even weirder well it not like I really care".
He said looking nonchalant as if it is known of his business.
"So what next"?
"It is simple really, try absorbing the flow of energy around you". Said the lonely king identity.
"And how am I supposed to do that"?
"Let see, just imagine you breathing in a pleasant smell and just like before try circulating that to your entire self". Said the meditating advisor identity.
"Is that so"? He asked feeling a little skeptical.
"Do not doubt yourself". Said the pondering warrior identity
"Thank you myself"
He still doesn't know the reason why he came to have this three mental identity which affect his personality in real life.
Considering the fact that he is mostly depressed and have some complicated mental issue. Though it seems stupid but he really enjoy the company of his three mental identity.
Even though sometimes it made feel as if he is mad.
Well thanks to that he has never actually felt lonely since when he became conscious of these split identity of his he might feel bored but never does he feel lonely.
Well that aside he decided to concentrate on task ahead.
He closed his eyes and sits in a lotus position
Just as earlier said he first enter the state of feeling of flow and next began to feel flow of energy around him it is considerable easy for him now compare to before but he still has a long way to go to achieve total control and mastery.
Shad Darc begins to breath in the flow of energy around him just as how he did yesterday when he enter the second layer of feelings he tried to make his mind to be constantly aware of it and his heart to accept and recognize it.
Then next his entire body to able to feel it instinctively though it wasn't easy but he was slowly making progress.
Like this an hour or two came and gone but to him it felt more like nine hours has passed, regardless of the hours passed all that matter is the progress he is now making.
At last he has reached the first stage of energy circulation which is basically just being able to revolve the flow of energy around on self.
Well considering the fact he was thought about energy circulation back on earth with that knowledge and his adaptability he came to know another fact.
That unlike what was thought back in the organization on movement of energy from one's lower dantian to one's upper dantian through deep breathing and meditation this one doesn't exactly work like that though similar in some ways but different in application and attributes.
That is instead of just breathing in and out to steady the mind and body while moving energy from one's lower dantian to one's upper dantain
In this case it is not really necessary considering the energy is alive in some way.
Because of that discrepancy instead of just breathing in and out in the normal meditation system one has to actually interact with energy in this case which is getting him excited.
He feels as if this is where he truly belong. And by interacting with the flow of energy one becomes truly energize both physically and mentally an energy that one can truly harness.
"Don't get too excited yet". Said the pondering fighter identity
"Hmm, okay".
After another two hours in real time that feels like close to a day to him Shad Darc finally open his eyes.
And what he saw actually left him in awe.
The flow of energy was manifesting to a more physical state though it cannot be touch but it can be seen instead.
The flow of energy around him was looking like a transparent sky blue color. That is it is colorless but at the same time seems to contain a touch of sky blue in it.
He was speechless for while he couldn't have ever thought of this scenes happing though he might have fantasize of such things of a world where one can actually have superpowers and supernatural energies.
Never has he thought that this would actually happened nor does he ever thought of it coming into existence and here he is seeing and experiencing the fantasy of a mad man.
"Is this real" he asked looking bewildered.
"Of course" Answered the meditating advisor identity.
"Ha-ha-ha, then there is no need to hold any doubt anymore"
"Of course no need for unnecessary doubts for at last you have escape your boring life on earth" said the pondering fighter identity.
"Then it is time to move on and explore the unknown of a new world" said the lonely king identity.
Finally he has come to accept the fact that he is not on earth anymore and by accepting this fact he felt a strange burden he has unknowingly be carrying loosened.
With this a new chapter of his life began.
After the short break he decided to move forward and explore this new world and the wonders it might hold.
With that he focused once more on the Flow of energy now visible to him with a single thought in his mind which is to absorb it.
"This is world of countless possibilities after all no need to have any unnecessary doubt now".
Shad Darc began to delve even deeper than he did earlier with a single determination to explore and uncover the mysteries of this world which is making him to be too excited.
"Don't get too excited yet take things slow but steady your priority now is to survive that bearlike creature and for that you need power well at least you now have a way to get power". Said the lonely king in a deep but calm tune
"Yes, I should probably calm down".
"Survive first and explore later Shad Darc" He said to himself.
With that he calm down his excitement and began to draw in the flow of energy into his entire body.
His heart and mind have both recognize and are aware of the flow of energy what is left is for his body to become conversant with it so that he can instinctively feel and draw it in but it proofs to be difficult but he didn't give up instead he kept pushing for the understanding for flow of energy.
Finally at now evening time he was now able to crudely absorb the flow of energy into his body.
Shad Darc opens his eyes with new found confidence and instantly looked down at the bearlike creature and grin mischievously while the bearlike creature roar out as if accepting an unspoken challenge.
"Oh have a little more patience my dear friend I would surely come to meet you" he said with the mischievous grin still on his face.
"I will surely come to you".
