Kin watched as Elgin's name grayed out on his friends list.
"He's dead Novel, he lost."
After coming to a stop, the boys broke out in whispering clamor.
"What is going on, I don't get any of this?" Lovel asked staring at Kin
"Elgin sacrificed himself to save us. I don't think the only thing we need to worry about is it, it's each other. Elgin said that guy was from Nerthol, they're 1st on the leaderboard and Elgin was from Myarr, 5th on the leaderboard" Finished Kin.
Lovel began to remember everything that had just transpired since they've arrived. From first meeting Kin to having just an away from Steren.
"Kin, we need to win, we need to make it to the 8th world. We need to show that Earth or Durbol is not something to be taken lightly."
"Lovel, let's show the other 6th worlds what humans are capable of."
Suddenly filled with vigor, the boys quickly friend each other not having done so since they learned.
Kin looks at his pod and notices the timer 69:53:37, so much has already happened and it's only been 2 hours. Kin looks over at Lovel and begins to peer into peer inside his -innate ability- Intimidate.
-
Innate skill - Intimidate
Description: Actions are powerful, but words are even more so. Imagine them together.
Background: With every step the world quakes in fear, reaching the front of this elite cohort he swiftly faces the enemies, "kneel" tens of thousands of people are then all seen kneeling, friends and foes alike.
-
Finally regaining the sense of his body he only then noticed how much he was shaking, continuing to look at Lovel he thought to himself:
He then further got the idea to look at his own, - Innate Skill - Inspect
-
Innate skill - Inspect
Description: The eye never lies
Background: A man with both his eyes closed, and yet his third remains open. Everything around him is as true as his sight. If his hands can't reach you, his eyes will.
-
After both of these shocking revelations, he is about to spill them to Lovel but imagines that tyrant on the battlefield not wanting his newly acquired friend to use his power against him. Within a heartbeat, he confesses what he has seen to Lovel.
...
It's weird imagining yourself as such a domineering figure, but I'll be just that if it means survival.
"And how did you get this vision again Kin?"
"It came to me by just looking at you. I don't know how I did it either."
For the time being, I don't know if I want to tell Lovel all my secrets just in case we're enemies in the future. Just as this happened both the boys' stomachs growled, reminding them to eat.
Lovel growled, "I'm so hungry and we don't even know if there's any food in this place."
"If this is a real castle we need to find the food storage and let's hope no one else got there before us."
While aimlessly walking in and out of the corridors they found 3 other stone statues,

Kin and Lovel both discerned them all to be human human, they didn't need to say it but they were both thinking the same this:
"We've only seen statues, no food, and no people, plus not to mention every long hall looks the same. What do you think Lovel?"
"I'd rather find statues than people, who knows if we'll survive the next fight."
"Yeah you're right, but we'll die if we don't find food. So we have to keep looking. What a conniving game."
...
"Hey Lovel, you think we could even fight in we see other people?"
"I think we can, but it'll probably be our last."
"Yeah me two"
"I'm going to bed, wake me up if anything happens."
"Good night Lovel."
"..."
...
Kin quickly sits up and screams at Lovel, "Wake up! We need to go find food."
"If you keep talking so loud we're going to get found, so quit it."
"Good morning, let's go find some food before we starve to death!" Kin whispered.
Not wanting to respond Lovel replied, "Fine."
They both stealthily got up unlocked the door and continued walking within the cold embrace of the halls.
...
After a few corridors, Lovel asks "Inspect, that's your -Innate Skill-."
"So does that mean you can just look at anything and know what it is?"
"I... I've never tried"
Answering this question left Kin in a stupor, why haven't I used my -Innate Skill- on anything? As he glances around the corridor he notices an oddly shaped rusty cup just laying on the floor. Focusing in on it, he can see it, he can see the cup.
"I can see the cup!"
Lovel sees this and looks in the direction Kin is, and sees the cup two.
"I can see it two."

"Lovel this cup is an Item."
"What does that mean."
"I don't really know but that has to mean it's good."
"Well, what does it do?"
"Umm... I'm not sure actually."
Kin picks up this seemingly useless cup and notices a drop of rusty water within it. He lifts the cup above his head and lets this rusted bead of water fall onto his rugged lips.
