Chapter 74: Skill Leveled Up

Ding!

[Game over! You have died!]

...

...

I had no idea how much time had passed. It felt like I’d been unconscious for an eternity, but when I finally opened my eyes again, I found myself in an unfamiliar, wet, and dark place. The air was thick and heavy with moisture, and the silence was almost suffocating. Unfortunately, there was no light at all here, leaving me unable to figure out where I was. Everything around me was nothing but pure darkness.

And just like last time, only my head remained intact. A familiar feeling of weightlessness and vulnerability lingering throughout my body. My limbs or what should have been my limbs were absent, as my body hadn’t fully regenerated and recovered yet. The healing process was as slow as usual, but I could feel my body gradually regrowing the parts that were missing.

With nothing else to do in that dark and silent place, I decided to close my eyes and try to sleep. The waiting time was almost unbearable, and I figured a long sleep might help pass the time quicker. Of course, I didn’t fall asleep right away. At first, my mind was too restless, swirling with thoughts, memories, and the unease of my current situation.

It took a while—several hours, in fact—before I started to feel kinda tired. My body, still incomplete and healing, making it extremely uncomfortable to sleep. But eventually, as the hours dragged on and the exhaustion crept in, I felt the weight of sleepiness take over, and I finally drifted off.

Zzzzzz... SNORE!

After falling asleep, it wasn’t long before I started dreaming. From the lofty heights of the bright blue sky, I saw myself descending rapidly toward the waiting vast ocean below.

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaghhh!!!" I screamed as I descended.

Fifty thousand feet in the air...

Thirty thousand feet...

Twenty thousand feet...

Ten thousand feet...

Five thousand feet...

After descending approximately fifty thousand feet, I finally collided with the ocean surface.

BAAAMMM!

WATER SPLASH!

After a short while, I swam upward, breaking through the water’s surface to replenish my breath.

As I looked up at the beautiful, vast blue sky, I saw countless other floating islands drifting in the air. There were also other superhumans falling toward me. Yet, for some reason, the colossal sea monster devoured everyone else, but not me. I couldn’t understand why, but since it was just a dream, I didn’t really care if it made sense or not.

WHOOSH!

Then in the blink of an eye, I was suddenly teleported to a new location. This time, it wasn’t the vast ocean but back to the floating island where that Beastmaster guy had killed me earlier. At this moment, I saw him stepping into the portal, leaving this world of trials. He was likely returning to the colossal alien spaceship to claim his reward for completing the final trial.

Well, I doubt the aliens would even keep their promise anyway.

And who knows they might have already killed the Beastmaster guy by now. Well, if that really happened, I guess that’s a good thing. And hopefully, that vampire freak John dies too—because fuck that guy, honestly.

In any case, both John and that Beastmaster guy need to die. Their deaths would only make this universe a better place to live. I couldn’t help but hate those two because the memories of them torturing me were still fresh in my mind.

Ugh, just thinking about both of them already pisses me off! Fuck! I wish I could grab their necks right now and literally strangle them to death. Man, that would be so satisfying... Oh well, guess it’s just wishful thinking.

Nevertheless, I have to admit, the dream right now feels oddly real for some reason. I began to wonder if I was dreaming or actually having an out-of-body experience. Hmm, maybe my soul was wandering around and spying on others? Who knows?

...

Ding!

[Your body is regenerating. Please be patient...]

[HP: 3%]

Hearing the system notification, I woke up. When I finally managed to open my eyes, I realized nothing had changed—this place was still as wet and dark as before. Even with the glowing light from the hologram screen, it wasn’t enough to clearly reveal anything around me. All I could make out was that this place felt filthy, almost as if I were submerged in some kind of liquid.

What kind of liquid is this? Well, I can’t quite tell—maybe seawater, or maybe something else—! Oh, wait a minute! Now that I think about it... this liquid might actually be the stomach acid of a colossal sea monster. Yeah, that must be it. Clearly, I must’ve been consumed by a sea monster after I landed in the ocean, right?

But then again, why hasn’t my head been dissolved by the sea monster’s stomach acid yet? Is it because of my regeneration power? Or maybe it’s because I’m at S-Rank level, too strong to be harmed? Or perhaps it’s a combination of both?

Hmm, the more I think about it, the more I’m convinced that it’s my high level keeping me alive. With higher levels come stronger defense stats, along with my regeneration skills, which are likely working together to keep me alive in this pool of acid, defying the monster’s digestive power.

Although I was fairly certain it was my regeneration power doing most of the work—after all, it had been keeping me alive all this time. Without this overpowered skill, I would’ve been dead a long time ago.

Oh well, I’m not sure what to do right now. Given how slow my regeneration speed is, I’ll probably have to wait for about a few weeks to fully recover and be on my feet 100% again. Ugh, this waiting time is going to be a nightmare.

Of course, I know a few weeks isn’t really that long, but when you’re stuck here with nothing to do, just waiting for your body to heal, time seems to stretch on forever. Days blur together, and before you know it, a few weeks can feel more like several months or years have passed.

Out of nowhere, a surprise notification popped up in front of me:

Ding!
