A large stone slab surrounded by a bright reflection stood in front of me as I walked in.
Glancing around, it reminded me of a cave. We stopped a few meters away from the slab.
"Are you sure you want to do this?" Lucia asked me.
I shook my head and said, "I must do this, we are trapped in this world, and I don't want it to be the end of us."
"But no one has ever found the Stone of Destiny before. Are you sure it will work, it could be a trap?" A worried look crossed her face.
It made me laugh "Do I have any other choice, I don't want to leave you alone; even if something were to happen to me, there would be a chance I would return."
As I kissed her forehead, I said, "Wait here for me, whatever happens, do not come near me." As I started walking towards the slab.
My mind was preoccupied with only one thought as I moved forward toward the slab.
"Ah, am I the reincarnation of God?" This environment made me feel as though I was a powerful personality from a Fantasy novel.
As I saw my hand touching the stone, I felt a sensation in my body, as if I was being sucked in. Suddenly, I was engulfed in deep, soul-wrenching pain. My mind went blank as my consciousness faded.
Upon opening my eyes, I saw my body was covered in sweat, and I was still in my room.
"What the fuck was that?" I thought.
Why do I always see a half-assed dream, as if I am in some kind of movie plot, why can't I see something meaningful?
My head hurts every time I wake up like this.
In any case, I don't want to dwell on it too much, even now I can feel that pain.
While I was looking at the window, I noticed it was still night. Every time I experience these dreams, I wake up in pain, depriving myself of my night's sleep.
Now, I am not even getting the sleep.
I suddenly remembered that I missed my daily practice, but it did not penalize me for it.
"Eve, why was I not penalized?" I asked her.
"It was a basic exercise manual, and the penalty only applied until Host was evolved, so it has been removed." She replied.
I'm relieved, but I have to get stronger. As I checked out the store, I saw that there were several manuals available. This wasn't available last time.
Upon checking out, I purchased Body Building Manual [II] and Sword combat training manual. I spent 1500EC; I have left 2000EC, not enough to buy those powers. I would have to gather it in the forest.
The Body Building manual is basically the same, but all exercises have to be done 1000 times and 20 KM run daily. But this time it has no penalty.
I expected it, but it helped me tremendously. I feel more robust than ever.
I bought the Sword Combat Training manual to learn basic sword moves. Since having a weapon makes my life much easier, I can't use my hands all the time, and the next forest will be even more dangerous.
It is now time for me to buy a magnificent sword, which I will buy in the city, rather than buying it from the store because my EC was low.
Anyway, I don't feel sleepy anymore.
After checking the time, it's almost morning, I changed into my new clothes and went downstairs to begin my recent session.
When I was with Olivia, I saw a park nearby. Someone was already working out there in the morning, but I didn't know who it was.
The moment I moved closer to the park, I saw her.
"How can she be here?" I murmured, but I was happy to see her.
I was reluctant to leave her company the first time we met in the forest.
My luck has never failed to amaze me.
Her mind was so absorbed in her workout that she barely noticed me. I quietly moved behind her and murmured slowly.
"Hey beauty, how have you been?"
"AAAAHHHHH" she screamed and jumped back, pulling out her gun and pointing it at me.
"AHHHHH" Even I screamed when I saw the gun. Who the fuck carries the gun in the morning.
"Isabella, it's me," I quietly said to calm her down.
(A/N- He met her in Jungle)
After a moment of confusion, she lowered her gun and said, "What are you doing here?"
"Wow, I never thought I would see such a beautiful woman in the morning," I said as I wiped my sweat away.
"Don't startle me like that, I would have shot you." She said, after putting her gun away.
"Who would have thought you would carry a gun in the morning," I shook my head in amazement.
Before she could open her mouth, another voice behind me interrupted her.
"Look, who's here!" It startled me when I saw Alexandra and Olivia approaching.
My only thought was, "Why do I have such good luck?"
Creation is hard, vote me with Powerstones.
