Alright, not bad, but your sentence structure needs a little work.

In your first sentence, you use present tense verbs. That's alright in some instances, but you have to know how and when to use them. The way you structured the rest of your sentences requires past tense verbs. Using the correct tense in the right spots will make your writing a lot more interesting.

Ray had been walking for quite a bit of time and yet, he didn't mind. He enjoyed walking. Why? When he walked, he knew that his feet will take him somewhere, and he didn't mind. He knew that his feet will always take him to new places, where he can explore and meet new people as well as learn new things. This is why Ray didn't mind walking.

Like so. Also, you misused "knows". The word "knows" indicates one person talking to or about another. For instance: "Sarah already knows that." Ray said.
In this case, you want to use "knew", since you are referring to Ray in a narrative sense. Also notice that I changed "Ray won't mind" to "he didn't mind". First, "Ray" becomes "he" because we've already established Ray as the current object. Second, "won't" becomes "didn't" because, like "knows/knew", it is used in a narrative sense.

The trees made a large path, enabling him and any other person who happened to walk through capable of doing so. Also, there were many exotic plants and herbs for him to gaze at while he went through the whole forest.
|
Same thing with the correct tense here, too. You're writing in a narrative sense, so you usually end verbs with "-ed" instead of "-s". Be verbs are also used in a past tense. "Are" should be used as "were". And the same thing for "goes/went" as the "knows/knew".

"Also" is generally a bad word to use at the beginning of a sentence when narrating. It removes the reader from the setting, and makes it seem less like a story and more like a hurried second-hand description. It's better to put it in the middle of the sentence, where it can still convey the menaing you want, but doesn't remove the reader.
Also, the word "whole" as you used it here is unnecessary. The generaly idea that Ray is walking through the whole forest is already conveyed, so the word only becomes extraneous.

Unfortunately, the forest was coming to an end, and all the trees and plants were disapeering right in front of Ray's eyes. It was sad, but he knew that this meant that he would be arriving somewhere. |
You left off a period at the end, and "disapeering" should be "disappearing". Make sure that you proofread as carefully and thoroughly as possible.

This time, Ray was walking towards a huge building.
|
"This time" indicates that Ray is completing the action for the second time. And while he almost certainly walke dout of many forests, this is the only one mentioned in the post, so it makes things a tad confusing.
Quote:
|
As he approached this building, he wondered that if he went inside the strange building he might get closer to what he was seeking.
|
"Goes/went" thing again. You referred to the same object twice in one sentence ("this building"), making it somewhat repetitive. When referencing the smae object wice in one sentence, try to refer to it with a different term than you did the first time. Or, since it has already be established as the current object, you could remove the second one althogether.
Quote:
Ray kept walking, and walking until he reached the building's
doors.
|
Commas aren't necessary when listing objects or actions unless there are three or more. Or, if you want to indicate a pause between repetitive actions, use a period.
Quote:

Ray kept walking. And walking. Until he finally reached the building's doors.

Quote:
|
Ray started observing every single detail about this place that would help him find out what exactly it was that he was seeking.
|
This sentence as you've worded it is very confusing. It's hard to tell just what exactly Ray is doing or looking for. Separate complicated sentences like this with a comma or period.

Ray began to observe every single detail about the place, looking for that which would help him find out what exactly it was that he was seeking.

He looked around very carefully, trying to find it, but in the process of doing so, he made himself look like a fool, causing the people in the room to think weirdly of him.

Here, the bolded part is unnecessary. We already know what Ray is doing from the previous section, so you don't need to state it again.
Fix those things, and then move onward to your first assignment!
IC: “Oh? So you’re the newbie?” a strangely musical voice spoke up from behind the newcomer. Ray spun to look up into a pair of startling crystalline blue eyes. A narrow face bracketed by long golden strands surrounded the eyes, all of it capped off by a floppy brown hat. The man swished back his free-flowing coat and inclined his head, one hand tipping the rim of his leather hat.
“Nice to meet you. The name’s Lhaeo. Ah, that’s Sensei to you, though. Or Lhaeo-sensei. Either’s fine.” The blonde-haired introduced himself, throwing an arm over Ray’s shoulders and propelling him along towards a corridor off to the side. “Speaking of which, I’ll be your teacher here at the Dome, ah . . . ummm . . . .” The man stopped in his tracks, as if only just realizing he didn’t know Ray’s name.
“It’s Ray.”
“Ah, yes, good. Well then, Ray, I’ll be your teacher for your duration at the Dome.”
OoC: Have Ray converse with Lhaeo as he takes him to his new room. Have him ask all of the questions one in his situation would, and stop at the door to Ray’s new room. 600 word minimum.
