Inner Eye

Life is boring.

Born knowing nothing and dying knowing nothing.

So brief, it disappears when we close our eyes.

A small child staring at the toy in his hand, Gatotkaca.

A fictional character from a cartoon that the boy likes to watch with his mother. Gatotkaca is very strong, he is able to jump higher than a flying bird, punch through mountains, and run as fast as sound.

'He doesn't exist in the real world' he said.

The little boy walked in search of his mother.

'Mom? why isn't Gatotkaca in the real world?' He asked.

But his mother just lay still, her faded brown eyes stared stiffly at the ceiling.

She was a beautiful woman with long wavy black hair. Her stiff lips, once always formed a friendly and gentle smile.

Her light brown skin used to look radiant and full of freshness, but now it had turned pale white.

The mother kept smiling, even though her hands were trying to hold back the blood that came out of her stomach, but the blood was now dry.

Maybe she didn't want to scare her kids with a pained face.

The little boy did not find an answer from his mother, he walked unsteadily out of the house.

But when he was about to grab the doorknob his hand stopped and his trembling knees made him sit languidly.

He sat still with vacant eyes.

The boy's mind went blank.

'If he doesn't exist in the real world, why don't you just become a Gatotkaca?' His mother's voice came from behind the kitchen.

His mother seemed to be cooking his favorite food, fried tempeh.

The boy was silent and did not turn to answer.

Moku screamed and cried.

With a clenched fist he grabbed the doorknob and opened it. Moku stepped along with his will.

On that day, his World shattered leaving only one will.

Moku opened his eyes, he saw a group of orcs were sitting cross-legged in front of him. Moku started to speak.

"Seven days ago I managed to find a way out for our race.

The way for us to defeat the mage"

The orcs' eyes widened.

There was a surprised gasp from the orcs.

Boku asked impatiently "What way is that? How do we get there?"

"It is a way to use the hidden power in our bodies.

Have you ever wondered why orcs can impregnate mana species like humans? Or why can't we have female offspring?

It is the power that is hidden in our bodies that causes this.

The power is so strong that it is capable of making women of other species submit and give up their wombs.

The power is so great that it turns all the babies that the orcs give birth to carrying the characteristics of their fathers, namely the male orc." Moku replied.

The Orcs seemed enlightened, they also always wondered why there were no female orcs in this world.

If there were female orcs then their problem would be solved and the orcs would no longer be on the verge of extinction.

"This hidden power Is what I call dragon prana.

I know that there are four conditions for awakening and using dragon prana,

First, a strong body. The point is that the mass of fat in the body should not exceed 10% of body weight.

Orcs have a metabolic system that turns all their food into muscle. So all orcs were already qualified without having to train when they were five years old.

Second, strong breathing technique. To pump dragon prana in the body and flow it to certain parts requires strong breathing techniques.

Third, strong will. You must have a strong will to be able to escape the control of the dragon prana and instead control it.

Fourth, inner eye, this is a condition that I myself have not been able to fulfill.

That's why I wanted to do close-door training for a while. While I'm away I'll be appointing some orcs to handle some important positions.

Goku, I'm appointing you as assistant coach. While I'm away you'll be the one watching over the orcs training.

Don't let them be lazy, hit them if they're wrong, and keep adding weight to the load they carry even if it's just a pebble every day.

Boku, I'm appointing you as the head of the food hut. While I'm away you'll be the one watching over the food hut.

Keep all the meat in a jug of honey, take the meat from the older jug for training, don't use the new ones, and don't forget to feed the girls.

Boku, I trust you! I hope no orcs or girls starve to death when I return.

Mige, I appoint you as the head of hunting. While I'm gone you'll be the one overseeing the hunt.

You will determine the route to Glittering Meadow, choose prey, determine hunting strategies, and appoint orcs to their respective positions.

Before leaving I'll teach you how to use a weapon, raise your weapons!

Practice begins!" Moku ordered.

The orcs were surprised that Moku chose Mige as the head of hunting. It is only natural that Moku chooses Goku as the assistant coach and Boku as the head of the food hut.

The two orcs were already known to their tribe as the strongest and wisest. But Mige was a young orc.

They were worried that Mige would not be able to carry out his duties due to his lack of experience. But they didn't say anything and followed Moku's decision.

Moku as the chief of the tribe never made a mistake during his tenure. In fact they were getting stronger every day and they could feel it clearly.

Mige knew that the other orcs doubted his abilities, he also didn't understand why Moku had decided to choose him as the head of hunting.

But Mige would not betray Moku's decision, he would show that Moku had done the right thing.

Mige clenched his fists tightly and stood together with the other orcs. They began to carry their own weights.

Although Moku allowed them to increase the weight with just pebbles, no orc was so weak as to add only pebbles.

They added timber even though it was only from small trees. The weight that the orcs were carrying had now reached a quarter of a ton.

They started with their usual footwork exercises, but Moku didn't continue until they passed out, instead he continued on to punch and kick practice after the third repetition.

Punches and kicks were practiced until they passed out. Two hours later they got up and started to eat.

After eating, Moku taught them how to use weapons, starting from the mace, spear, toya, and galah.

He asked them to choose their respective weapons and start their training. As usual Moku slashed every part of their body that was in the wrong position with a four-sliced rattan.

The exercise was carried out as usual, until they passed out. When they woke up, Moku handed Goku a four-bladed rattan and asked Mige to lead the orcs on a hunt.

Mige agreed with a voice full of burning enthusiasm.

Moku saw the orc horde walk away  and disappear behind the shady Bog forest trees.

He also had to immediately do the experiment. Moku was a little scared, not because he knew what was going to happen but because he didn't know what was going to happen.

Moku walked across the top of Green Caping Hill and passed it. In contrast to the front side, the backside of Green Caping Hill had a lot of steep declines.

Like two different worlds, if the front side was covered with green grass and the sun was shining, the back side was covered with gray rocks and overcast clouds.

At the age of seven, Moku found a cave behind Green Caping Hill. The cave was inhabited by a mutated animal.

At that time it was sleeping, its six horns were perched on its head like a crown on the head of a king.

It slept curled up, but its golden yellow feathers looked strong and sturdy. On both legs were three sharp claws ready to tear its prey.

He woke up hearing the sound of Moku's footsteps entering his lair. He stood up showing his 2 meter body. A mutated vulture.

The bird then made its claws sharper and stronger.

The battle between Moku and the mutated vultures was fierce. But the location of the battle was more in Moku's favor, the mutated vulture couldn't use its flight ability in a narrow cave.

In the end Moku managed to stab the mutated vulture's eye. Then using the vulture's head as a grip, he managed to stab him in the neck.

Moku used his claws as karambit blades.

The cave was not too big and there was only one room. Sometimes there was water that fell from the static in the sky of the cave which is 3 meters high.

He would perform the procedure of opening his inner eye in this cave.

Moku took out some equipment and potions from the bag on his back. Before leaving Moku went into the food hut to get some potions.

Bulan explained that the inner eye opening procedure would be assisted by some chemical drugs, but Moku couldn't find it and he didn't know how to make it.

However he had prepared a potion that had the same effect.

Moku made a bonfire then closed the cave door with a large stone.

The cave was dark and only lit by the light from the bonfire. Moku began to perform experiments according to Bulan's procedure that he remembered.

Moku took off all his clothes until he was naked.

To awaken the inner eye, the other five senses must first be disabled.

Even so the five senses that are paralyzed will make the mind reflexively and unconsciously move to find its own way out.

Then the body of the object of research must be immobile or unable to move far. Moku started to chain his arms, legs, waist and neck.

The end of the chain was plugged into the walls of the cave so Moku could still move his hands but could only walk half a step.

Then the next procedure was to turn off his senses. The first sense according to Bulan's procedure was the eye.

The goal was that the object of the research would be calmer if you can't see what the researcher would do to his body.

But Moku did this experiment himself, for that he needed his eyes to see.

So the first sense was hearing.

Moku slapped his ears hard with his palms.

BANG!

There was a ringing sound followed by pain, but a split second later the ringing disappeared along with the other sounds.

His eardrums shattered and Moku became deaf.

Moku didn't scream or react in the slightest. Blood dripped from his ear canal.

He then opened his mouth and pulled his tongue out. Moku quickly took a knife and cut his tongue.

The flesh that was Moku's former tongue fell on the ground and he lost his sense of taste.

The procedure continued, Moku held the tip of his nose and cut it.

A small groan was heard from Moku's mouth which was filled with blood.

But to eliminate the sense of smell it was not enough to just cut the nose. We can smell odors due to the presence of olfactory nerves in the nasal cavity.

For that Moku had prepared a potion. This potion comes from tobacco liquid.

Tobacco was dried until it turned yellow, then finely ground and mixed in hot water. The results of the tobacco juice are what this potion is made of.

Moku poured the potion into his nostrils. When the potion met Moku's flesh it felt like it was being burned from within.

He groaned in pain. However Moku clenched his fists tightly and continued the procedure.

Now he could no longer hear, taste, and smell.

Next up was the skin. To get rid of the sense of touch was very difficult, Bulan thought of inserting an anesthetic liquid into the skin tissue so that the skin could feel numb.

But Moku couldn't make an anesthetic, he found another way with the same effect, namely fermented hogweed sap.

He covered his entire body with fermented hogweed sap. Not a single surface of the skin remained.

Even so the effects of the hogweed sap didn't react quickly, he still had time until his skin started to burn.

Moku inhaled and exhaled quickly. Next were the eyes. It was an easy procedure but he knew the amount of pain he would feel. Moku prepared himself.

Without hesitation he poked his eyeballs with his index finger. Moku screamed in pain, but when Moku's screams hadn't gone away, a burning sensation started to spread throughout his body.

The effect of the fermented hogweed sap began.

Moku felt like he was skinned alive and then doused with salt water.

AAAAARARRFFFFF!!

Moku screamed in pain, his tongue which was cut made Moku's scream sound like a broken trumpet.

The sound he let out was like a scream from the depths of hell.

It made everyone who heard it shudder.

The pain slowly began to fade, and Moku's mind began to no longer be preoccupied with pain.

But it did not get any information from the five senses.

There was only emptiness.

Moku could not see, taste, hear, smell and touch. He couldn't feel anything.

The brain was confused and continued to send signals to the five senses asking for information, but all five senses had been destroyed.

The brain panicked. It sent all kinds of reactions to the body to find a way out.

But Moku's chained body couldn't move anywhere. He started to struggle. Moku felt that he was going crazy.

What do blind people see?

What do deaf people hear?

What do people with anosmia smell?

What do people with ageusia taste?

What do people who feel numb all over their body feel?

What would happen if all of this happened at one time?

Have you ever thought about it?

Have you ever imagined it?

Void

As if in a space without color, without sign, without directions, without beginning, and without end.

Being trapped in a circle that doesn't rotate, just floats until the end of time.

Time stopped, no one knew how long it had been, how many seconds, minutes, hours, days, months, years, decades, or centuries, there was no concept of time.

The concept of self began to disappear, the concept of existence became meaningless.

The orcs and their tribes disappeared,

The girls disappeared,

The teachers disappeared,

The friends disappeared,

Bulan disappeared,

Moku disappeared,

The brain decided that the body was dead. It was time for it to also rest for good.

'Are you going to forget me too?' There was a soft and friendly voice.

'Are you going to rest and forget about me too?' The soft and friendly voice sounded sad.

The determination

The determination that was always with him always sounded exciting and forced Moku to continue to train and pursue their dreams.

The determination that had been with him ever since he had managed to open the door and set his foot on the ground.

It sounded sad. Her sad voice was far more painful than her angry voice.

He would never make her sad. No Never!

There are several phases after the five senses are gone.

The first phase, panic. The panicked brain will look for every way to get information from outside the body.

The body will struggle and go crazy, this could harm the subject so the subject must be shackled.

The second phase, acceptance. In this phase the brain accepts that it will not get any information from outside the body. So the brain will think that the body is dead.

As a result, the brain will begin to reduce the activity of organs such as the heart and lungs. Gradually the brain will also die due to the absence of oxygen entering the brain.

The third phase, awakening. In this phase, the object of research must force the brain to look for other senses as a source of information.

This phase requires a very strong determination from the object of research and a great will to survive.

This is because the object of research must fight the habit of the brain which always uses the five senses and forces it to use the inner eye.

That's why Bulan and Moku couldn't kidnap strangers and make them the object of research, because it's certain that the kidnapping will turn into murder.

Moku was the only human that Bulan knew had extraordinary determination and concentration that could even be categorized as a superpower.

That's why Bulan believed that Moku would survive and come back alive even if he loses his heart or is beheaded.

Moku forced his brain to keep working and be awake.

I AM THE STRONGEST!!!

I AM THE GREATEST!!!

Time moved again,

The circle was turning again,

colour returned to the space again,

The void shattered.

Moku could feel again.

Like a thin mist that enveloped everything in the world.

Giving color that was never visible,

Provides coolness and warmth that has never been felt,

Light of Biofield.

A lizard-shaped silhouette emitted a light brown glow that felt harsh and cold as it attacked the cockroach-shaped silhouette that was also emitting a light brown glow.

The rocks and walls emitted a black light.

The chains that bound his hands appeared to be cracked on various sides due to his vigorous struggle.

He could see and feel every tiny detail.

Moku was amazed at the sight he saw with his inner eye.

Until he remembered his original purpose. To discover how to use dragon prana.

Moku started to see his own body.

His body emitted a soft green light and felt warm. But Moku could change that softness and warmth when he gives off a killing intent.

He took a closer look at his body.

His body was filled with luminous root fibers, it was the veins that carried energy through the blood.

  2.5% of this energy will be used in daily life and 97.5% of it will be stored in the solar plexus, that is what should happen.

But there is a difference in the orc body, the energy used in daily life is still 2.5% but the energy stored in the solar plexus is only 37.5%.

60% of that energy resides in the orc's genitals.

Seeing this Moku could only shake his head. Orcs only store 37.5% of energy for their very fast metabolism and body regeneration.

While 60% of it is used for intercourse. Moku felt disgusted with his own race.

Moku looked deeper.

There were seven points in the orc's body that do not emit light but form space. It has a black ball in it.

The room is located at the top of the head, forehead, throat, heart, behind the solar plexus, navel, and at the end of the spine.

The rooms are connected to each other by stairs, which start at the lowest room at the end of the spine to the top room at the top of the head.

At the bottom of the room there are two black balls that are close to each other. They slowly turn in opposite directions.

The left ball rotates counterclockwise, and the right ball rotates clockwise. Moku named the room as the Generator Room.

As the name implies, Moku understands the function of the room and it is in this room that he has to channel his dragon prana.

'Dragons have no power if they haven't hatched' Moku laughed inwardly.

Moku stood back up, his five senses had recovered.

Moku didn't know how long he had been in this cave.

He opened his eyes and walked unsteadily, his body was not yet used to the six active senses.

Moku pushed the rock that covered the cave and came out.

The day had become night.

Moku walked back to the tribe. On the way he saw a horde of orcs who had just returned from hunting. As usual they came home full of wounds.

Their aura looked more lethargic and cold. Perhaps their killing intent had not been extinguished from the time of the hunt.

"Moku!" Goku, who was in the front row, said hello.

"Have you finished close-door training?" Zalthu asked.

Moku felt strange about Zalthu's question.

"How long have I been gone?" He asked.

"Gone? It's the same day you announced your close-door training" Vakgar replied.

Moku was surprised. Moku thought he had been in the cave for months, but it seemed that he was wrong.

Moku didn't answer and just smiled. He ordered the orcs to return to rest.

He walked briskly towards his tent.

As he couldn't wait to immediately activate the generator room.

Moku dark past? Wow..

I want to know what really happen to his mother?
