章 33: Chapter 30 - Mark Sophie(3)
"HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!"
I look at the humanoid figure in front and above me. She has a throne-shaped headdress and is wearing a long white sheath dress. She has multi-coloured wings attached to her arms, each wing looks bigger than my entire being. A black and gold ankh floats behind her, when I say Black and Gold I mean there are two, one gold and one black. They're both floating around her. I'm not sure if they're sentient but they seem hostile toward me... Or I just don't like them.
While these things would usually paint a picture of nobility, her laughing while clutching her stomach is kind of ruining the picture I have of her I created three seconds ago.
Why is she laughing so much and why am I here? Where is here?
"Oh, I haven't laughed that much for centuries, mortals are always so amusing."
"Um, where am I? Who are you?"
"Right, no telepathy and I'm guessing the Analysis of yours isn't working?"
"Oh, I haven't tried. Let me just -"
{ERROR!!!}
"Fuck!"
"I did warn you. Welcome to the Gap." That sounds like a club.
"I don't know what that means."
"You're floating between life and death" Why does that sound familiar?
"I'm dead?"
"Close, extremely close. What made you think you could handle that much information at once?"
"I thought my regeneration could handle it."
"It can, it doesn't mean you won't partly die from it"
"How does someone partly die?"
"Death isn't black and white. We have Goddesses of reincarnation, death, life, and more. They aren't there for nothing, there's choices and special cases. You for example, even though you're weaker than most of the human race, you are able to survive something no human has been able to in their existence. Well, that's not true, they've handled worse, but they weren't as weak as you."
"Uhh, use a skill to kill myself?"
"No, many have done that before. It happens on a regular basis. Being able to obtain more than a single skill in less that an hour and also learning almost everything about the skill. It's nor rare because this is the first time it's happened."
I don't know what she's going on about.
"Yay me?"
"You don't understand now but you have the attention of the deities. Choose wisely."
"What does that mean?"
"Nothing, nothing. Anyway, while you're here wanna fuck?"
"Hu-"
I gasp as pain shoots through everything. I open my eyes and close them again, it's too bright. Ah, but the darkness is too dark. Fuck! What the fuck is this?!
"Finally awake?"
"Ughhhhhhhh" I think that was me but I don't know. I feel some type of liquid entering my mouth. I instinctively try to spit it out thinking it might be poison or something but my body hungrily drinks it. I'm dehydrated. Whoever spoke leaves the room, I think.
I lay still in whatever I'm sleeping on and every few seconds try to move so I can get back to normal as fast as I possibly can.
My enhanced regeneration kicks in and I can feel control slowly returning to me. I still haven't opened my eyes yet. Still hurts.
I finally open my eyes and... I'm naked again.
The door opens and Dina walks in, she looks down and- of fucking course- I'm hard. She ignores it.
"You took your sweet time laying there."
So sorry I was unconscious.
"How long?" I croak, ah, it hurts to talk.
"2 days, 7 hours, 36 minutes and 12 seconds."
I didn't need all that information.
"When you're done feeling sorry for yourself then hurry up, we have two days before we're raiding Mark's base."
"Mark?"
"Really? Mark's the entire reason we're here. We're killing him."
What kind of name is Mark, what kind of villain's name is Mark?!! It isn't scary or intimidating. Maybe he's undercover or something. Yah, that makes no sense. I know I shouldn't ask but I want to know so baddddd. Didn't she give me a different name before?
"What's his full name?"
"Mark Sophie"
I expected that, bro became a villain cause he was bullied as a kid. Also, why am I here? Still have no idea why she chose me to accompany her on this mission thingy.
"How much time do I have?"
"I just said two days" She rolls her eyes and starts to leave the room. I don't remember leaving the car, I was unconscious so it would be weird if I remembered. "There's two minor health potions next to you."
She walks away. Did I just raise a tsundere flag? I can't even deny it, I don't know her well enough... What if she's a yandere and not a tsundere. No, calm down, I'm not the protagonist who's gonna melt the heart of every female I see and damn, I'm lonely.
Oh, right, I forgot about the reason I'm here.

"Shit" I fall back onto the bed and ignore the pain shooting through me. Dammit! "I only have theoretical knowledge."

Ah, that makes more sense. I'm close to mastering the skill, that explains why it's not as... costly now. Sheesh, it only took me dying to get a skill this high.
"Proceed"
Hurts like a mothafucka. I remove the pillow I'm sleeping on and put it over my head to bite, it's the only form of relief right now. My hands are already bloody from my nails digging in too deep.
This one takes longer than my first one for some reason.
1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10-11-12-13-14-15-16-17-18-19-20-21-22-23-...
...
...
...10559-10551, no, that's not right, 10560-10561-10562, okay, the pain is manageable now.
I take the minor health potion from the side and drink three-quarters of it. The rest is poured on my arms, there are scratches all over. I might have went feral at a certain point during this session of masochism with my sadist system. I can still feel the phantom pains of hundreds of Needles poking me everywhere.
Can I even have children? It felt the worse there!
"Skills!"
Ignore all the useless ones... found it!

Damn, I've never seen any skill with a proficiency of 0. It takes practice, repetition and consistency to gain a skill. I'm cheating. I'm gonna keep doing it.

I saw in the comments someone wanted a chapter about Inari and her previous hero or something similar, so I'll try to make those chapters in fillers and not part of the main story.
