6 months have passed since Dae-Yang met Sung-Joo and Bawi. He has been training in the Caves ever since then.

"(Wearing a tank top. Holding a phone with one of his hands, one behind his head, sitting in an arm chair and thinking) Hmm. Seems the increasing speed of the stats slows down as I level up. This cultivation stuff is fun. It feels just like a video game."
While Dae-Yang was thinking, Dr. Kim entered the scene from behind.
"11, I've got some news for you."
"Good or bad?"
"Depends on you."
"Yes please."
"I've got a mission for you. Your first one. Bawi asked me to also include you in this."
"Ooookay?
What I have to do?"
"You have gotta find a Cave in the Apocrypha Ocean an-"
"Come again?"
"You didn't heard."
"I did. How do you think I am gonna search something in a ocean?"
"Not my problem?"
"The hell do you mean not your problem?"
"Ask Bawi about that."
"Is it just me and Bawi?"
"Yes."
"(Sighs) Troublesome. Do you think two people will be enough?"
"Don't you worry. Bawi goes on his mission alone. He is an Upper Class. He could have handled this alone too, but he asked me to invite you. And this will be a opportunity for you to look how strong you have become."
"That's a point. I've been training for 6 months now. I can feel my physical and mental health better than ever."
"Now listen up -
Search for a Cave in Apocrypha Ocean. It could be anywhere. In the middle, at the shore, even inside the ocean. You have to look for it yourself."
"And when is this mission?"
"On Day 422, 4.30 A.M, i.e, three days from now."
NOTE!
In this world, there are now Sunday or Mondays. Instead, there are 600 days in a year, and 12 months (that's 50 days each month.) And also, one day here is of 48 hours. So it's from 0.00 A.M to 23.59 A.M and 24.00 P.M to 47.59 P.M. That means, Dae-Yang has been in this world for at least 300 days! ||
3 days from now, and Dae-Yang will be on his first ever mission.
He was talking to Chris (Dr. Kim's assistant) on the counter down there. They have become good friends. Dae-Yang had some problem talking with her in the beginning, as he had not talked with girls in his previous life, but slowly, he became more open and less shy.
Meanwhile in between their talk, Bawi interrupts.
"Ayo!"
"Hmm? Oh! Hey, Mr. Upper Class."
"Jealous?"
"Nah."
"Wanted to talk to you for a minute."
"Me?
(To Chris) Can I please?"
"(To Dae-Yang) Who am I to stop (both laugh. Then Dae-Yang and Bawi walk goes out of the Headquarters to the back garden.)"
They both were walking in the garden behind the Headquarters. The big, circular garden, with big waterfalls on all of its boundaries. The twilight sky, shining above them.
"I've found the Cave."
"You have what?"
Bawi's words shocked Dae-Yang. He received the news of the Cave just 2 hours ago, and Bawi already found where it was.
"So, where is it?"
"In the middle of the Apocrypha Ocean."
"In the middle?"
"Yes."
"Wait, you know how to fly?"
"No... And yes. Actually I can, kind of."
"Oh it must be your S.Y.S.T.E.M."
"Right. With my S.Y.S.T.E.M, I can attract and repel objects. So, I repel the ground as per my requirements to kind of fly."
"Cool."
"Tonight, at 0.00. Meet me here, the same place."
"Tonight?"
"Yes. Sleep as much as you want now. You are gonna meet me tonight."
"That's quick."
"Get used to dude."
