Chapter 279: Higher being (Part 1)

'Damn, what the hell is this? ' As Raydon knelt on the ground, his body contorted in agony, and his mind raced as it attempted to make sense of the searing pain that was ripping through him. 

The memory of his previous awakening as an item holder flashed through his mind, but the torment he was experiencing now felt very different, leaving him confused and disoriented.

When he had experienced pain comparable to this in the past, it was due to the fact that he was awakening as an item holder. However, what did this pain mean for him this time around?

"This better be worth it," Raydon muttered, his words laced with frustration. 

He accepted the invitation and arrived here, knowing full well that this would not be a simple task and risking his life in the name of adventure. However, because there weren't any terrifying monsters to vanquish or exciting adventures to take part in, he couldn't help but wonder if this ordeal was just a test of his stamina.
