The cold grip of death held right, claiming as their own.
Unfortunately...
[You Are Dead]
{Based On Exclusive Skill: , your recent experiences have been dissolved into a dream}
[You Will Now Wake Up]
... I had a different destiny.
*********
[00 Months: 01 Days: 00 Hours]
I woke up, my mind already completely absorbing all that had happened in my dream, and I quickly applied them to reality.
'I see. So that's what happens...'
I had already acclimated to the odd feeling of dying and my experiences being nothing but a dream.
At first, it felt insane, but right now it felt very normal.
"Status Window..." I murmured, prepared to be heartbroken by loss in Stats.

[Additional Information]
You can see the future and past by living it. It is a coveted power worthy of desire, but a scary one to possess.
"It seems everything is pretty much the sa..."
Well, everything except one major factor.
"My Alignnt, huh? Why am I not surprised?"
I was now , and while I didn't really know the true spectrum of these Alignnts, I had to admit I had gotten a slight change in my perception.
'I just wanted to survive without bothering anyone, but it seems people won't stop bothering .'
That ant I had to take more drastic steps to ensure I could achieve my goal in this new world.
'Screw anyone who gets in my way!'
That bastard, Jeff... to think he would do sothing like that and cry about it. What was he expecting?
Understanding from the people he was going eliminate? The more I thought about it, the more furious I beca.
'Now that I know what happens, I can decide to avoid the entire thing, but...'
There was no way I would do that!
'Not only do I lose out on the Rewards, but I'll be letting Jeff get away with his actions.'
I wasn't in any way planning on playing 'Hero', however I still understood the simply concept of payback.
'No one rembers the future except . I dont plan on letting my death slide just like that.'
Besides, if I let him go now, he could end up being a bigger threat in the future.
'I... for the sake of MY own SURVIVAL... I will eliminate you, Jeff.'
But, first of all, I had to examine the possibilities—specifically how he was able to paralyze and everyone else in the Adventuring Party.
After thinking hard about it, there was only one conclusion I could objectively draw.
'Poison. He used his Poison ability on us.'
But when?
'If I'm to guess, I'll say it was in the Poison Fog he used on the Demons in the Stone Dungeon.'
Usually, inanimate objects couldn't really feel the effect of poison, but Jeff's ability allowed him to affect the functions of his targets, not strictly adhering to their living or non-living state.
It felt more like a kind of debuff.
'What if he lied to us about the effects of the poison? Maybe it also affects humans, but it's slow-acting?'
That would explain how he was able to paralyze all of us at the sa ti.
"Yeah. That definitely makes sense..."
In that case, I would need to prepare for it. Fortunately, I had enough Currency to purchase sothing to help in that cause.
'Since I don't know how strong or effective the poison is, I have to play it safe and get the most ideal to combat the Poison, while also spending as less as possible.' Following this line of thought, I found the perfect item in .
It was exactly what I was looking for!
[Item Information]
Na: Air Purifier Potion (Mid)
Special Effect: Purifies the air you inhale after being consud, and lasts for half a day. {Note: Only works on Poisons and other common Airborne Infections. Curses and Strong Magic are render this item useless}
Durability: Single Use
[End Of Information]
Considering I got it for rely 100 Currency, I had to say... it was well worth it.
"Alright. I should get to the scene earlier than last ti."
To put my plan into motion, ti was of the essence!
*********
[00 Months: 01 Days: 02 Hours]
Thanks to being in a hurry, I only spent less than two hours on my journey before arriving at the Dungeon.
'I'm not supposed to et them here for another hour or so.'
If I took into account the ti they were to arrive here—considering what they had told about them arriving not too long before I was spotted—that ant I still had over thirty minutes for my preparations.
'This shouldn't take too long, and it's just my insurance, but...' A dark gleam ford in my eyes as I looked at the Dungeon's entrance from a distance.
"... I'm not taking any chances this ti!"
*********
[00 Months: 01 Days: 03 Hours]
Perhaps it was due to the effect of the Title, or my sheer determination not to flop my acting performance, but I was able to recreate everything that led up to joining the Adventurers Party.
Lu caught , just like in the past, and I was able to get the proposal which J accepted reluctantly—just to avoid any suspicion.
After I accepted, Jeff appeared out of where he went to pee, and it took all of my self control to look him in the face without strangling him, or sending Energy Rock flying directly toward him to crush his skull.
"... Don't worry, I washed it." He laughed awkwardly once he stretched his hand and I felt hesitant to shake it.
Just like the last ti.
I indulged him, ensuring I hid my seething rage within, leaving no room for suspicion.
"Wow! That's a strong grip." He muttered, still smiling like the snake that he was.
"Ah, I'm sorry, Jeff. It won't happen again." I returned the gesture.
From the corner of my eyes, I observed Lu staring at with sowhat disapproving eyes.
'What's her deal now? Is she upset at for so reason? She was cold the last ti as well...'
I couldn't understand her thoughts and actions, but did I really need to try?
Everyone was going to get killed by Jeff anyway, and then I was going to kill Jeff to avenge myself and the dead Adventurers.
'This is the perfect chance to get more rewards for myself since I'll be the last one to interact with everyone here.'
