Valo lay in his hospital bed, reading the letter from his parents over and over again. "Aura Flow... could this be the answer to my questions?" he murmured to himself. "Could it really be possible to explore a new world, to find something beyond this life?"
As doubt crept in, Valo questioned his own beliefs. "Am I just grasping at straws?" he asked out loud. "Is there anything beyond this life, or is this all there is?" But as he continued to read, he felt a strange sensation in his chest. "Something is awakening inside me," he whispered. "This energy, this Aura Flow... I must know more."
As he came across the part about sacrificing his old self, he hesitated. "Is this really the right decision?" he asked himself, unsure. But as he looked at his reflection in the mirror, he knew he had nothing left to lose. "I'll do it," he said firmly, making up his mind. "I'll sacrifice my old self and embrace the unknown."
After Valo made the decision to sacrifice his old self, he carefully followed the instructions in the letter. He gathered the necessary herbs and burned them in a small bowl, focusing on the smoke that rose from the mixture. As he chanted the words written in the letter, he felt a tingling sensation in his fingers, as if the very air around him was charged with energy.
The words seemed to take on a life of their own, echoing through his mind and vibrating in his chest. He closed his eyes and surrendered to the sensation, feeling himself pulled forward into a vortex of energy.
As he opened his eyes, he found himself in a new world, unlike any he had ever seen before. The sky was a deep shade of purple, with stars glittering like diamonds in the distance. The ground beneath his feet was soft and spongy, and he could feel the pulse of life all around him.
Valo took a deep breath, letting the new world fill his senses. He could smell the sweet scent of flowers, hear the chirping of birds in the distance, and feel the cool breeze on his face. As he took his first steps forward, he felt a sense of wonder and excitement coursing through his veins.
Looking around, Valo saw that he was surrounded by strange, otherworldly creatures. Some had wings and flew through the air, while others scurried on the ground like insects. They all seemed to be going about their own business, paying him no attention.
Valo realized that he had truly left his old life behind and was now in a world that was beyond his wildest dreams. He spoke out loud to himself, amazed at the journey he had just taken: "I can't believe it. I've really done it. I've traveled to another world." With a grin on his face, he set out to explore this new realm, eager to discover all the wonders it held.

After Valo completed the transfer, he felt a sudden wave of dizziness wash over him. He stumbled forward and had to catch himself on a nearby tree trunk to avoid falling. As he took a few deep breaths, trying to steady himself, he felt a sharp pain in his head, and the world around him began to spin.
He closed his eyes, hoping that the sensation would pass, but the dizziness only intensified. He felt his stomach churn, and he knew that he was going to be sick. He stumbled forward, trying to find a place to hide, but he didn't make it far before he collapsed onto the ground.
As he lay there, gasping for air, he felt a strange energy coursing through his body once more. It was different from the earlier transformation, more powerful and raw. He groaned as he felt his muscles begin to spasm, as if they were being wrung out like a wet cloth.
It was then that he realized that his body was expelling impurities, a common occurrence when ascending a level in cultivation novels. He gritted his teeth, enduring the pain as best he could, knowing that this was necessary if he wanted to grow stronger.
Finally, after what felt like an eternity, the spasms subsided, and Valo lay there, panting and sweating, but feeling more alive than he ever had before. He looked up at the sky, marveling at the strange new world that he found himself in
When he finally managed to sit up, he felt different in every way possible. His senses had heightened, and he could see and hear things he had never noticed before. His body felt lighter and more agile, as if he had been reborn.
Valo rose to his feet, his mind racing with thoughts of survival. "I must find a way to protect myself," he muttered under his breath. "This forest may be beautiful, but it's also dangerous. I can't let my guard down."
As he surveyed his surroundings, he spotted a large tree with thick branches that extended high into the canopy. "That tree could provide some cover," he thought to himself. "I can climb up and get a better view of my surroundings."
With a determined look in his eyes, Valo began to climb the tree. He found it easier than he had anticipated, his enhanced agility and strength making the task a breeze.
Once he reached the top, he surveyed the area once again, taking note of the different types of vegetation and the creatures that moved among them. "I need to stay up here for a while and observe," he said to himself. "I can't afford to make any mistakes."
He closed his eyes and focused, letting his senses guide him. Valo realized that he was still new to this world, and he had yet to master the skills necessary to survive here. He knew that in this world, aura was everything, and those who were weak would not survive for long.
However, despite his lack of skill in aura sensing, he could tell that there was something off to the east. He strained his senses, trying to pick up on any signs of life or danger, but he couldn't sense anything.
He looked around, taking in his surroundings, and realized that he needed to find shelter before it got dark. He knew that the forest could be dangerous at night, and he didn't want to risk being caught out in the open.
"I need to find a safe place to rest for the night," he said, scanning the area for any signs of a suitable location. "Somewhere hidden, where I can observe my surroundings without being seen."
Valo took a deep breath and set off into the forest, his senses alert and his mind focused on survival. He knew that he had a long journey ahead of him, but he was determined to make it through and come out stronger on the other side.
