Later, Bayu called Ryan into a quiet room.
"After mastering Level 3," Bayu said, "warriors enter LEVEL 4 — ENERGY MASTER."
"At this level, energy control becomes extremely refined. Warriors can heal themselves, sense enemies from afar, and—most notably—fly."
Ryan froze."Fly…?"
"Yes," Bayu nodded."By manipulating natural energy, warriors can lift themselves into the air."
He explained the stages:
Stages 1–3: Short, low-distance flight
Stages 4–6: High-altitude flight across city blocks
Stages 7–9: Long-distance flight across cities or islands
"At Level 4, most modern weapons are useless," Bayu continued."Only heavy artillery or explosives pose a threat."
Ryan swallowed hard.
"And beyond that…?" he asked.
Bayu's expression turned serious.
"LEVEL 5 — THE GOD LEVEL."
Ryan stared."That's just a legend… right?"
"Perhaps," Bayu said softly."But ancient records say Level 5 warriors lived for centuries, controlled the elements, healed fatal wounds—and even revived the recently dead."
"To reach that level," Bayu continued, "requires absolute harmony with nature and a pure heart. No one in the modern era has achieved it."
Ryan fell silent.
