While sitting atop a shadow-stone building, built and invented by himself, Bhainz bids farewell to Inalor, the Clown of Abandon and promises to reunite soon, he proceeds to absorb the Origin Sealing sphere.
Thinking to himself that since he exited the Cave of Clown, he has been quite busy.
From building his own home, trading at the department store the looted items he obtained from the cave, until receiving the notification from the academy leading him to complete the trials acquiring Spirit of Destruction for all the skills and thus increasing his Origin Level to (+100) on top of his Level 24 from the cave as well as compiling his 100 Individual Forces then fusing them to the CORE and COM respectively.
(CORE: Core of Origin Ripple Entity
COM: Circuitry of Origin Magic)
The sphere constructs ten separate seals, and just like with Zeki, Bhainz disappears without leaving a shadow behind.

Upon opening his eyes, what comes into view are giant trees along with giant- everything. However, before he can make tall or short of anything, a wind picks up and gently so, he feels that his body, somewhat stuffy, proceeds to be swept up by the wind along with many green pods- straight surfing it.

While surfing, Bhainz moves his head to the side ,before, with shock, realising that connected to him is a green pod and at the top, right next to his head, a face of someone, eyes closed and a green small sphere embedded between the brow sticks out.
[ Origin System notification-
1st Quest: Awaken person connected to user by pod before reaching the lake
Reward: Unknown]
Looking at the quest flashing through his head, Bhainz, with all his might, wriggles his body, which, by now has realised that he too is a pod baby.

While still wriggling, he looks to the baby face next to him while paying attention to the quickly approaching lake, yet, no reaction from the next door pod neighbour.

Not even bothering with whatever network, Bhainz is trying his best over here while being struck by a bolt of paranoia as the lake seems only a few cm away.

And just as that happens, the eyelashes flutter and open before all pods touch on the lake, staring at Bhainz with big blue eyes as he realises that the face is a she.
However, the lake glows bright, even though it looks like its daytime, the entire area lights up before a bolt goes off inside his head and as soon as this happens, all the other pod babies cry out, even the girl next to him does so while a vast amount of inheritance information flashes through his mind, compiled and added to from generation to generation.

While looking through some of the information, Bhainz comes across something about this world being called Baraze, and that it is pronounced Ba-Ra-Ze, for some reason, that too was included, as well as that the girl next to him is probably his twin sister while gently drifting along the water and into a stream.
