[Perfect Presence].
*[Perfect Presence] has reached Level 12!!!*
A new understanding of [Flow State].
[Flow State - Advanced] has reached Level 289!!
It was a great feeling, and in particular, Bob was now experiencing some significant new benefits. For one thing, earlier, there had been a kind of lag or resistance as he travelled through the Dream World, but he found that, thanks to his [Perfect Presence] Ability, he was now able to move around almost effortlessly during his Deep Dive, the rippling grasses now becoming smooth as silk as he moved through them, and the Current no longer drags, everything has become clearer, and smoother.

At the same time, there were, like most great abilities, limits to the use, and Bob found that he could only mentally maintain this [Perfect Presence] State for around 10 minutes at Level 12, after which it would require rest in order to use again.
Still, acquiring this Ability had other immediate as well as long lasting benefits, including increased perception and flexibility in real life situations, as well as the potential to enter a kind of quasi-[Flow State] where he would be aware of an increasing number of variables, as well as also increasing his understanding and raising the ceiling of his actual [Flow State] ability when or if it would come into effect.
With this new insight and ability unlocked, it was now time to consider the next puzzle of the RLSSD…
Despite this breakthrough, it seemed that Bob had not unlocked the Divine Inspiration?!
That, alongside a strange feeling of both curiosity and also… a feeling of a threshold into the unknown, that was waiting to be crossed…
It was both exhilarating, and yet, terrifying.
Humans had always been curious, and sometimes this had led to discovery, but other times, disaster, when they had unleashed, or encountered forces beyond their ability to understand or control.
Was Bob biting off more than he could chew? Were some things best left alone, better off left respected as unknown…?!?!
Bob was under no delusions that he was different, or special. Respect was absolutely paramount, and he would be very careful, to do the right things, to do the research, and to weigh up the consequences…
He would need to ask Gigachad, perhaps Old Man Li too, and others that he trusted, for advice and instructions as to how to proceed.
In the end though… he knew.
After all the preparations were done, and the conversations come about…
As always… there was only one way to find out.
