[First Lost Tree Fallen Scroll successfully collected...]
Finally, Lothur saw this ssage before him as he looked down, with Viktoria still in his arms.
Seeing that, he unconsciously hugged her even tighter, feeling a wave of satisfaction running through his body.
'Fuck yeah!'
However, before he unwittingly showed his excitent, he suddenly thought of a problem. 'What will happen to that necklace? Or rather, what will happen to that red leaf?'
[The system requires what's on the leaf, not the exterior of it...]
'So that's it!'
'Then? What do I gain by collecting this thing?'
[Does the host wish to absorb that first singularity right this instant?]
Gulp!
'Better not!' He thought, fearing that Viktoria would notice sothing if he proceeded with this in front of her.
'I'll do that later!'
After that, he saw the system ssage box disappear from his sight, and a feeling of relaxation arose in his body.
"Sigh..."
But then he heard a cold tone coming from the vicinity of his left chest. "Are you done, or will you be like this all night?"
"If you want, we can do it like that..."
Pa!
After speaking as he wished, Lothur felt the weight of Viktoria's hand on his right cheek just before he almost fell backward.
"Now go away!"
"But don't forget what you promised, or I'll make you wish for death!" She said as she walked into her residence, leaving that man alone in that hallway.
"Sigh..."
'Well, I didn't expect anything anyway, so it's ti to return to my room...'
...
Upon arriving in his room, Lothur sat down in one of the corners of his bed and imdiately called up the system.
'Co on, ti to absorb this thing!'
[Beginning absorption of the first part of the seven singularities...]
[Scroll successfully identified...]
[The baptism process will begin in 3... 2... 1...]
After that, a humming sounded in Lothur's ears while a red light that only he could see spread in his surroundings, little by little enveloping him in what looked like a sphere of light.
anwhile, he felt as if he had suddenly beco drunk, with his consciousness floating and part of his reason wavering.
The red light from before began to penetrate his skin in that instant, causing Lothur to look at himself in terror, wondering if this was so kind of delirium.
However, this state did not last long. He soon began to feel an unparalleled pain in the middle of his back, where if he could see, he would witness his spine glowing red, like lava.
"Ahhhhhhhhh!" He shouted in a crazed manner, with nothing else in his mind but that feeling which was nothing better than having that part of his body ripped off.
...
After a few minutes in that state, the almost unconscious Lothur saw the ssage he had been waiting for from the system.
[Absorption of the first collected singularity completed!]
[The host's body was considerably changed after rging with the first Scroll...]
[Increased bone quality identified...]
[Increased muscle quality...]
...
[Increased affinity of the host's soul with the Lost Tree...]
[Host's Physique evolution: what doesn't kill you makes you stronger.]
[The host's bloodline has been strengthened.]
[Spirit baptism completed...]
[Activating status...]
[Na: Lothur Ritter]
[Physique: what doesn't kill you makes you stronger]
[Bloodline: ****]
[Cultivation: level 1]
[STR: 1.4] [CON: 0.6] [DEX: 1.6] [AGI: 1.8]
[INT: 30] [PER: 11] [WIL: 36.2]
'Uh?'
'Those characteristics...' Lothur thought about those numbers he had ignored earlier, finally paying attention to his status.
'STR, uh, that must be the strength attribute, huh?'
'Oh, I get it!'
'That system sohow quantifies my characteristics into nurical values!' He exclaid in his mind, rembering so gas he had known in his life on Earth.
But not understanding much of the overall situation, he soon put his status aside to focus on the earlier ssages.
These ssages were making Lothur feel better and better. But this was not because it was making him satisfied. On the contrary, what pleased him was the refreshing feeling in his body after that earlier tornt.
As he felt his body completely healed, not only from what had happened a few monts ago but also from the lightning wounds, he finally smiled in joy.
With that, he imdiately ran to his bathroom since he felt he should observe himself in the mirror.
"Wow!" He exclaid in surprise, running his hands over his jaw, feeling that as handso as he had been before, he had managed to get even better.
"Uh? What's that?" He unconsciously moved his finger toward a lousy goo oozing from his navel.
"Damn, what the fuck is this?"
Imdiately after this, he lowered his head without caring where he was and felt a sudden urge to put everything in his stomach out.
'Where did that co from? How can sothing sll so bad?' Lothur wondered in disgust, feeling that there was sothing dead coming out of his belly button.
'Damn it! I have to take a shower, or this sll will knock out!'
And then he ran into the shower, still seeing the last ssage from before in front of him.
While doing so, he did not forget what he had just read. 'System, what is this physique you quoted?'
[What doesn't kill you makes you stronger: after fighting to the brink of exhaustion, the threshold of life, as long as the host can stabilize his situation, your body will beco stronger after your recovery.]
[Unique condition: 'what doesn't kill you makes you stronger' is closely related to strong feelings. Without them, this Physique will naturally lose its main characteristic.]
[The envy and hatred of others are your weapons to evolve to the top!]
'What?' Lothur's eyes shone in surprise as he understood that, although impressive, this Physique was sowhat problematic.
After all, the characteristic of this innate ability implied that he would have to suffer considerably to achieve advancents!
And as much as it also ant great returns, it was not so easy for an earthling to accept that so quickly.
It might be much easier if he were a native of this world or even a prehistoric human from Earth. But as soone from a technological and relatively peaceful civilization, the idea of fighting until he was on the brink of death was not so appealing to Lothur.
"Sigh..."
'It seems that this system is a mixed blessing...'
'There are advantages, but gigantic risks accompany them.' His eyes sharpened as he understood a little more of this system.
There were no free lunches, and Lothur understood that very well.
If the system gave him sothing, he would have to be naive not to assu that he would lose or give sothing back at so point.
Regardless of whether this was an alternate world, this young man felt that things could not be created out of anything without any foundation.
If he could obtain power so simply, there must be a complex thod behind it. After all, even the good-for-nothing Lothur knew that the cultivation world was for the few!
'If I'm not mistaken, this condition must be related to the fact that by hating , people will naturally try to kill . With that, as long as I survive, I'll be able to get stronger.'
"What a complication..." He muttered in a low voice as he felt the water from his bathroom shower running down his body.
'Looks like the start of my journey in this place won't be easy...'
He then laughed sarcastically, feeling that at this point, the body he had inherited might help him more than he expected. 'With that fellow's qualities, it shouldn't be hard to piss off many people...'
"At least I have a way to go now!'
