Ding! Ding! Ding!
Death after death, eating his flesh that was served on a golden plate. Numerous of hunger and thirst points were gained with each passing second. Rashin kept progressing in his nightmarish trial, feeling so much stronger with each chunk of his flesh being torn apart... eaten!
In the last hour, Rashin was savouring his tasty flesh in order to saturate his hunger and thirst meters. Although, he did saturate thirst, but hunger was still about 10 points away from saturation. still, Rashin didn't care once it was in the safe zone. The terror of hunger has been petted!
Rashin shifted his gaze to his name to expand it. Soon, the relics responded instantly.
[Name: Rashin]
[Thirst: 100/100]
[Hunger:94/100]
'hehe, how do you feel being under my control like a puppet? Hunger!'
The finale of the fight of terrors has finally come to declare Rashin as the Victor. fighting at first against two terrors, both are stronger than each other, trying to devour him with all of their might, made Rashin at last... a terror like them and not anyone... a flesh eater terror!
Rashin used the curse of the fallen corpse to his advantage so that he could kill himself every time he crunched on his flesh, gaining hunger and thirst points in the process... but it was painful, so unimaginably painful and only Rashin knows very well how painful it was.
'No one will never know how someone who feasts on his own flesh feels when it comes to pain.' Another thought flashed inside his corrupted consciousness that forced him to draw an insidious smile on his pale face.
His blurred eyes full of spilled viscous red blood glowed brightly out of pride. Rashin stared at his most beloved relic, the SP relic.
[Main quest: reach 0 SP!]
[Current SP: -999,970.54 SP]
'I think my vision got worse than it was...' Rashin squinted his blurred eyes for a reason only he knows... at least for now.
[Current SP: -999,970.54SP]
'...W-Where?!!' Rashin frowned and was left dumbfounded... shocked. His face tensed that some drops of blood escaped through his nose.
A tragedy has been pulling him with accelerated gravity that landed on Rashin like a spear.
He wasn't ready to face that truth.
The truth that was only meant to be revealed after he became a flesh eater!
'Where is my SP?!' the tragedy was revealed and it only affected his SP. In the last hour, he killed himself 30 times which would give him 0.3 SP. He wasn't talking about the 10-minute rewards. Rashin knew the only way to get it in his current state would be through psychic meditation.
Rashin was talking about those 0.3 SP. They were not counted!
'How?! I died! so they must be counted! what the hell is going on?' the fact that the first string of the unfolded truth he thought he solved several hours ago turned out to not have been solved at all made Rashin feel that he got struck by lightning!
This tragedy showed that deaths were not connected to SP.
'If it's not connected to death then... wait!' fortunately his psychic meditation made a descent process to cure his corrupted mind even if it was still tiny, but that made him realize how dumb he was.
'It's not death by itself... it's those punches!'
problem solved! faster than he could have expected! It was those punches that made him gain those SP from the very beginning.
Who would have thought that it was punches that gained SP and not deaths? the core of deception the relics had to be able to draw this turn of events worked so well on Rashin in his current fragile state.
'Shit! What a twist.' His confusion was settled and drifted away from his domain of thoughts. Rashin glanced at the death relic instantly after...
[Death:237]
He kept watching the number of deaths he had experienced in just 8 hours and thought:
'2 hundred and 37 deaths just wow! not anyone would be able to withstand that amount of deaths, especially with that corrupted mind and shattered body of mine.' proud! Rashin was proud of himself.
Although he was at the peak of his insanity, his psychic meditation was the only factor to save his lost sanity and he knew that it was just the beginning. More horrors and terrors await him ahead, far more dangerous than the terror of hunger or even the curse of the fallen corpse.
Aside from all of that, he was ready... ready to face all of those terrors in the future. Now, all he had to do was progress and train his fragile body as much as possible to be able to grasp the tiniest chance against what was ahead.
Staring for a decent amount of time at the death relic, Rashin willed it to be expanded and see the next achievements he was about to get his hand on to accelerate his progression.
[Death:237]
[Deaths milestone]
100 deaths: Done>>>[Psychic enhancement]
250 daeths: ???
[Death Phases]
0/100 Deaths: SP/10 minute required-0.01SP
100/500 Deaths: SP/10 minute required-0.1 SP
'then, it's settled. I'm coming... 250!'
His new goal has been set. The first 100 deaths granted him the +10% psychic enhancement that made a huge difference in his corrupted consciousness. Rashin wanted to see what the next milestone would grant him. Maybe it will enhance another aspect of his status similar to psychic.
Rashin couldn't wait to see. only 13 deaths separate him from that great reveal.
With this goal in mind, he immediately initiated his plan. This time with punches to grant him the 0.01 SP each time he dies.
'Let's drive our insanity higher...'
"Ahhh... Rashin... cough! cough!"
13 deaths accumulated which granted him 0.13 SP in under half an hour... 26 minutes to be exact.
[Deaths: 250]
'hehe, play that harmony of yours in my ears, death relics' Soon, the death relic responded with the second milestone...
[Death, second milestone unsealed!]
[A new reward shall be granted!]
'Give it to me'
"Give... it!"
[Vitality enhancement achieved!]
[The reward has been served!]
