Ning didn't realize how long it had really been since he was unconscious, but for him, it was only an instant. He woke up to hear part of the system's notification.
He suddenly started feeling like gravity wasn't a thing anymore. He could tell which direction was down, but he could feel himself completely ignoring gravity and going upwards.
His Thermoception also told him that his surrounding was very hot. Way hotter than even the warm water he had felt down the waterfall.
Most weird of all, he could feel this weird sensation around him. Like he was surrounded by something very soft.
'Why can I feel this?' He wondered. 'Status,' he opened his status page to check how far he had gotten along in his quest to gather Energy.

'Wait, What?' he was startled. The last thing he remembered was him getting Gravity sense not even a minute ago for him at 2000 points. Now he had reached above 5000 points.
He quickly opened the list of unlocks and realized he had unlocked something called Texture sense. 'Hey, system. What is this texture sense?' he asked.
'Hmm… so it's like normal human skin. I can already tell the temperature. Thanks to this now, I can tell what sort of object I'm touching. What else can a human skin do?' he started to emulate his sense of touch from when he was still a human.
'Temperature, texture…. Pain. Yes, that is one more. God, I hope I don't unlock pain. That would be so bad.'
'As for another one… hmm… what about being able to tell how much force something is pushing on your skin wi— Wait, is that what pressure sense is?' he quickly checked his status once more.
'Hey system, is pressure sense similar to a skin being able to tell when something is pushing on you?' just as he asked that, a huge howl of wind started tumbling him away. He could barely hear the confirmation from the system regarding his question.
'By the way system, where am I? What am I?' he asked.
'Steam? Wait, no go back. You said I'm in the sea? How long was I asleep for?' he asked.
Ning tried to understand what the system had just said, but he couldn't comprehend it at all. He stopped thinking about other things and focused on what the system had just said.
'12 and a half days? I've been asleep for nearly 13 days? Why didn't you wake me up earlier, system?'
