Although I know I won’t die thanks to my regeneration ability, the system warned to leave this world, so I had to trust it. Maybe once this world is destroyed, I might end up floating aimlessly in the vastness of space for all eternity—and the thought of being lost in space is terrifying. And there’s no way I’m willing to take that risk.
With my current power and strength, I was able to jump far beyond the limits of what any ordinary human could achieve. The sheer force of the jump felt effortless, like the air itself couldn’t resist . I wasn’t entirely sure if my jump would be high enough to reach the floating island in the sky, but judging by how the distance was shrinking, it seed like I was getting closer and closer with every passing second.
WHOOSH!
I continued to ascend at a 65-degree angle, pushing higher and higher into the sky. By now, I estimated I was about 7,500 feet in the air, though I couldn’t be entirely sure. The wind rushed past , and the world below grew smaller by the second. Looking behind and down, I spotted a small crater where I had jumped earlier. It seed the impact of my jump had been so powerful that it even created a small crater in the ground below.
Holy shit! I couldn’t help but be impressed by how powerful I’d beco. Then again, it was kind of expected anyway. I an, after leveling up so much from killing all those goblins in the last four trials, it only made sense that I’d be this strong now.
Then, out of nowhere, sothing caught my eye. Looking far to my right, I spotted sothing enormous—a massive piece of land falling from the sky. It looked like a huge floating island crashing down to the ground below.
That was when it hit . Maybe during the ti when I was dead, countless floating islands might have fallen on top of , stacking up and burying so deep underground. Perhaps that’s why I ended up so far below the surface. Who knows? That could explain why it took so long for to dig my way out. Well, I’m not certain if that’s the case, but for now, it seed like the only logical explanation.
Eventually, as I soared higher and higher, I thought I’d finally reached the floating island—only to realize I had overshot it by a few hundred feet in the air. Luckily, there was no need to panic. Spreading my arms wide like airplane wings, I angled myself toward the island. Unfortunately, without proper wings, I ended up crashing onto the island in a rather clumsy fashion.
THUD!
"Ouch! That kinda hurts a little..." As soon as I landed, I dashed toward the floating city, located at the center of this island.
After a brief sprint, I reached one of the city’s gates—I believed it was the west gate, or at least I thought so. But the city itself wasn’t my ultimate destination. What I was truly after was the Blue Crystal Altar, where the portal was located.
SPRINT!
Eventually, bam! I finally arrived at my destination, and to my surprise, the portal was still there! Unbelievable—I could hardly believe it. I’m not sure if I was lucky or not, but just as I was about to step through and enter the portal:
Ding!
[Warning! This world is on the verge of collapse and ending. Please evacuate quickly before it’s too late!]
[Ti until this world ends: 1 hour and 43 minutes remaining]
Upon seeing the tir, a wave of relief washed over , the tension in my chest finally easing. Phew! Thank god I made it in ti. I couldn’t help but let out a small sigh of relief, my heart slowing to a more comfortable rhythm. But before I could fully relax, my stomach let out an unmistakable growl, deep and intense. It seed to echo through the silence, reminding just how long it had been since my last al.
GROWL!
You know what? Since we’ve got so ti left, let’s eat sothing real quick first. I glanced around, and it hit — the food that had spawned at this altar was still here. So of it had already started to rot, a few pieces covered in mold and slling faintly rancid. But there were so that still looked okay— not fresh, but edible enough, considering the circumstances. I couldn’t afford to be picky, and it would be a sha to waste what was left.
Without wasting any ti, I grabbed all the food that was still edible and hurried my way to the luxurious mansion. This mansion was as grand as ever, but there was no ti to appreciate the beauty of it now. The mont I stepped inside, I headed straight to the dining hall, sat down, and imdiately started devouring the food. I didn’t hold back, eating like I hadn’t had a al in years. That was how damn hungry I was, and at this mont, nothing else mattered.
MUNCH! MUNCH! MUNCH! NOM! NOM! NOM!
"More! I need more food! More calories!" I said to myself, feeling pumped.
The effort it took to dig my way up to the surface had drained severely, and now I needed to eat as much as I could to restore my energy and get back on my feet.
...
...
Fifteen minutes later...
"Burrrpp! Ah, I’m so full!" Judging by the ti, I estimated I still had about 1 hour and 28 minutes left. I figured I still had so ti to spare, so I decided to rest for a bit first and let the food digest slowly. After about ten to twenty minutes, I figured I’d rested enough and that it was ti to leave.
With that said, having nothing left to do here anymore, I got up from my dining chair and headed straight to the Blue Crystal Altar. Once I arrived, I paused, staring at the portal for a few seconds. A wave of hesitation washed over , and I felt a twinge of nervousness.
For a short mont, I took a deep breath, trying to prepare myself and calm my nerves. "Alright, let’s do this!" With that, I stepped into the portal, ready to face whatever was on the other side.
