I was already walking down the stairs, and the place slled old and musty, like walking into an abandoned house. There were no bugs or cobwebs, which didn't really make much sense considering the layer of dust on the stone steps I was stepping on.
I was leaving tracks, and maybe it was just the light that was making the bugs stay away. I had already walked about three flights worth of stairs, and the tunnel was curving as I went.
"What am I doing?" I said to myself as I stopped.
I needed to get back to the house and eat and get to bed. I had made my choice, and like the man had said, I didn't want to be late, but there was that little part of that just had to know.
I couldn't co this far and not take a look, and it had just dawned on that the light was being impossibly shone all the way to my house. That didn't make any sense, and when I turned around, there was barely any light for to see behind .
I decided to keep going, and at this point, I was at the point where I had co this far, and not going the rest of the way would eat up.
I started to walk again, and within five minutes, I had reached the source of the light. It was almost like the tunnel had been waiting for to commit to my curiosity, and it got .
Now I stood in front of a wall with a massive thirty centiters tall ruby-like semicircular gem protruding from the wall. The red light was coming from it, and I just discounted the fact that it barely glowed being in front of it now.
I reached forward to feel the sphere, but the mont my finger touched the glowing red globe, I fell to the ground.
Pain like I had never felt before ripped through my body, making spasm on the ground as my muscles were ripped apart inside of my body. I scread in unending agony as I felt my bone-cracking and break, but then healing only to do it again.
I foad and spit sprays of blood on the floor, making blood turn to sticky mud with the dust. My body shook, and I spasd violently, and the pain started to eat its way into my brain, but then it stopped.
I rolled over and vomited out more blood, but that made feel better. The pain was gone like it had never been, and even though I knew it had happened, all that mattered was that I was able to move and breathe again.
Sothing had just changed inside of , every bone in my body had been broken, and every muscle torn. I felt different now, more muscular, but not by much, but then a voice in my head almost scared the life out of that I was so dearly just fighting for.
The voice was deep and old and not that impressed to be talking with , and that was fair. I just had my body ripped apart, so I wasn't really in the mood for a chat.
"Do I need it? Isn't that like so kind of cheat? What just happened to ?" I asked out loud as I picked myself up off the ground.
< Your body is now built to absorb the essence of the monsters you kill, but all monsters in this world have the sa power. I am offering you…>
"Cheat System, so I can get to the top easier, right?" I asked, cutting the voice off.
