"Em, so is this the training field?" asked Luki while his eyes were staring at the place. The training place was, in fact, a giant forest with a mist that always covered the entire forest.

"Right, this is the right place. And you need to collect this material in this forest." said the guide. Then he gave Luki the basic training gear and a letter which was containing the name of each material.

"Wait! What is the time limit for this training? And what if I'm lost in this forest?" Luki had tried to ask many details but it seemed like Luki need to figure it out himself. "Junior, every one of us at least does this kind of training once. You need to hear your instinct, not your head! Now, head to the entrance and after you accomplish your objective you can return here."

-

"That is what everyone said to me....but this is too much!" the first thing Luki had done when he entered the forest was made some mark that he could recognize. But the problem was the entire forest was covered with mist, which reduced the line of sight.

"I can only use that feeling!" what Luki meant was his Sense Domain. With this, he could at least detect if something comes near him. "But I always have this strange feeling, especially after I died once."

This feeling that Luki felt was like a fragment of memories. In that memories, he had a body that was indestructible. Even if someone could destroy it, the body would regenerate and in a blink of an eye became normal again. It was the part of his [Immortal Decree] that slowly being released to aid him.

"But first, I need to find this Octagonal Mushroom. Where is it? Oh, damn! The mist makes me lost direction." the structure of the tree, the ground and some of the rock were almost identical that you would think you walked around that place but in fact, you walked deeper into the forest.

"Damn! Damn! What should I do? I..." when panic started to affect him, he still remembered what everyone said to him. 'Listen to your instinct, not your head!'

Instinct, instinct.......

Then with a sudden change, Luki's face was returned to his normal state. Even his eyes showed his determination. 'This way.....'

He only keeps walking until he realized that he bumped into something! "What was that?" Luki tried to touch that something. He felt the coldness and the soft surface from his hands. He was sure that this thing resembled metal.

"Is there any more metal object in this forest?" Luki pondered for a while before he continued his journey. But the most dangerous thing was when Luki found some beast that walked toward him.

"The opponent observed me quite a while. It seems like this opponent tried to see through my strength."

In the mist, some black figures were stalking Luki waiting for an opportunity to deal a fatal blow. In Luki's hand, there was a dagger and a flash powder. This was the basic gear that Luki received. 'I'm afraid this fight will not be short.'

He decided to use everything that he got. Luki then purposely showed a weakness which caught the eye of the opponents. They charged at Luki but Luki used his left hand to throw a punch and his right hand to slash at the other.

Even the first two beasts were blocked by Luki's preemptive strike, the third approached him from behind. Luki already prepared for this and he jumped to the side while kept running. 'The law of the jungle. I think there is some part that needs revision, that is winner prey the loser not strong prey the weak!'

Even if you were strong, if you were a loser you would lose your position as an important person.

Luki kept running without knowing where he was going! But sadly, a sinkhole suddenly appeared in front of him. Because of this unexpected factor, Luki fell down.

-

"Ugh, where exactly is this?" Luki rubbed his head while looking at his surrounding. But good news to him, the Octagonal Mushroom that he looked for was in front of him. In fact, the mushroom filled the entire place!

"Whoa! I'm glad I revived!" Luki then grabbed some of it to his bag. "Why I feel familiar to this aura?"

Luki tried to remember everything regarding this feeling. "Ah, the memories! This aura must come from the place filled with strong medicinal herb!"

In the memories fragment, there were many writings about herbs. And some of them could release a certain aura that can only be detected by closing the distance between the herb and the person. Luki then heard a sound from above.

He knew those sounds. It was the sound that produced by the beast that attacked him before. Luki knew being trapped here was already a stroke of good luck for him because he realized at that time that those beast were expert at the battle of attraction.

Then Luki walked toward the aura source. The moment Luki saw the source, his heart trembled. "This....is?"

He then smelled its unique aroma. Later, he studied the herb from every part. "This herb was good for activating my [Immortal Body]! In fact, this herb shouldn't be here!"

According to the memories, this herb could help someone to reach the first layer of [Immortal Body]. The [Immortal Body] was, in fact, something that should be learned by everyone who had [Immortal Decree]. If only Luki had learned this sooner, he would not have to go to The Fallen Realm.

But unknown to Luki, a small ant that he only thought as normal ants started to get closer to him.
