Chapter 78 - Unexpected Trap - Part 1: [ Recap ]

"What the heck is happening?", Shin wondered.

For some reason, he started to feel uneasy. Not only that, he could feel something changing in his body. It was as if he had lost something and was gaining something at the same time.

Indeed, it was indescribable, however for Shin, it was more like something which he had already experience earlier.

'I don't think I was hit by any poison...'

'And even if I was, I wouldn't be affected by it because of my skills...'

Indeed, he was right. His skills were quite a high level so any minute or even a high-level poison couldn't weaken him right now, at least not until the highest level of poison was injected directly into his blood!

'Something is wrong...'

'I can feel that something is wrong...'

'But my body is definitely fine, it's healthy for sure...'

'Then what the heck is happening to me?'

His vision kept getting blurry and his senses were vanishing.

However, that didn't mean that he had become blind. Although he couldn't see anything in front of him, he could see something else which was entirely different of course, it happened only after he closed his eyes.

'Huh...?'

'That is...'

[ MISSION 01

[Kill The Grigard ]

-> Appropriate rewards will be given on completion.

TIME LIMIT: 00:00:02:00 [ 2 minutes ]

Timer starts in - 00:00:00:05 ( 5 seconds ) ] 

The very first mission that he had given after his arrival in the new world was being shown to him which was way too weird to be normal.

'The heck?'

'What's with this mission?'

'Hadn't I failed it long ago? Why is it popping up again?', he asked himself.

He thought that the system might have been giving him another chance to complete the same mission, however, when he took a look at the mission number, it was stating '01'. That meant that this was definitely the first mission in terms of order while in reality he had completed over fifty to a hundred missions already!

He was trying his best to figure that out when suddenly something else started to flash in front of his eyes.

[ MISSION - 2

[HUNT THE SWAMP RULER FENDAS]

-> kill and eat the swamp Ruler Fendas.

And those were only some amount of messages. Many more messages were being shown which were completely unnecessary.

He had completed everything, to begin with so it was way too weird for the messages to pop up again.

He had no idea about what was happening to him in the first place and amidst this, the messages didn't cease to pop.

Many more messages kept popping finally after which only the two profiles that Shin had seen recently popped up.

However, he knew that now the only thing that was left was his own profile and according to what he thought, the profile did show up!

Did the system finally burn out? Or was someone doing this voluntarily?

What was happening in reality?

Was Aella fine? And what was exactly happening to Shin? Wasn't he just completing a mission?

.

.

.

"Ke ke ke"

"Looks like he won't last more than 5 minutes...", a weird voice was heard from the darkness that covered Shin and his surroundings including the trees and bushes.

To be continued...
