" MIKE...WAKE UP. YOU CAN'T DIE!! "

Mike suddenly heard a faint and foggy but...loud voice.

' I am dead? No! I can't die...Qerin, Qerin...yes. Qerin, Athan, and others...They are waiting for me...I can't die yet. '

'I....don't want to be pulled. GET ME BACK THERE. I WILL SURVIVE. '

...

Qerin was hugging Mike's head with overflowing tears as she kept shouting for Mike to wake up.

" Mike, You can't die. Please wake up. Please..."

Suddenly, Mike's body started shining with the same color of the blood pool he was bathed in.

Mike inhaled deeply while his eyes were still closed.

" Th-this..." Qerin was surprised because he was experiencing the same thing as she experienced a while ago.

' Mike...' Qerin wiped her face as she left the blood pool so that his process could be finished.

The shining light slowly started to build his body, just like how her leg was regenerated.

She was finished in a minute, but Mike's state was way worse than her, so it took five minutes to regenerated his body.

Mike's slowly opened his eyes with a smile forming on his face and looked at Qerin, whose eyes were still filled with tears, " Sor--"

" YOU IDIOT!! Do you know how I felt when I saw your state in the pool? *sob* " Qerin appeared in front of Mike and directly hugged him.

Mike patted her head and caressed her back as he spoke gently, " I am really sorry for making you worry like this. Really sorry..."

[ It is time for you to take on the challenge, If you can complete the challenge, you will receive the grand reward and will be allowed to leave this place alive. ]

[ You can take on the challenge unlimited times within a two-hour time frame, but if you fail to complete the challenge after two hours, then your soul will be scattered, and your body will wither. ]

...

Avelia was fighting creatures of weird shapes in a mysterious place. The creatures were a mix of two or more types of beasts.

All of these creatures had the same color as they were glowing in red and grey mix color.

She could only use her genesis energy here and had to fight physically while creating weapons and armors on her body, but these creatures of varying shapes had deadly limbs and body parts that were tricky to deal with.

She tried throwing weapons created by her genesis energy. However, they would always disappear right after they left from her hand, so she could only fight by wielding weapons and creating armors on her body, but her body could barely defend against the mysterious attacks of these creatures.

These creatures would come randomly. Sometimes, two would appear, sometimes five, sometimes eight.

At first, she only saw one creature and barely defeated it after finding out that she could use her genesis power to create things. Right after killing the first creature, She seems to have gained some obscure knowledge.

But after the first creature died, Four creatures suddenly appeared, and the mysterious place also changed. The creatures also became powerful.

Sometimes, she would appear in a thick jungle, and creatures would attack her with various types of deadly physical traits, like scyth limbs, long limbs, big body size, sharp teeth, etc. Some creatures had wings and could fly, and they could shoot feathers which were the hardest.

Her armor could only withstand a single attack. After that, it would disintegrate as she had to create new armor to continue defending because if their attack hit any of her body parts, that part would disappear. She would feel immense pain that would make her mad, but she would be dead the next second by the creatures if she got a bit careless.

Hence, she had no choice but to endure the hellish pain and fight because the only way to regain the lost body part was to kill the creatures, as after killing them, they would release some kind of energy and recover her lost body parts and each creature she killed made her strong but the creatures were also getting strong, and her pain level was also increasing.

Right now, Her left leg was no more, and she had trouble standing, so she created a supporting leg while feeling hellish pain and continue fighting in this nightmarish place that constantly changed.

Her body in the blood pool also had some parts gone, Like there was a hole in her left side of the abdomen and her left leg was no more, but as she fought and defeated the creatures while experience the painful nightmare, her body parts were recovering.

The luck mentioned by the voice was related to the number of creatures they had to fight randomly inside their dream while staying in the blood pool.

...

Mike and Qerin both heard the voice inside their head as it told them about the challenge, and right after that, A square platform rose from Mike's blood pool.

The same thing happened at the blood pool where Qerin stayed.

[ You can either sit or stand on the platform, which will send you into another dreamland. In that dreamland, You have to fight a single being with the power you received after surviving inside the blood pool and kill that being. ]

[ If you are killed instead, then you can try again, but if you fail to kill that being in two hours...Then your soul will scatter, and your body will wither. ]

" Damn this voice. What ' Soul will scatter, and body will wither '? can't it just say that we will die? " Mike snorted after listening to the voice.

Qerin was happy to see the same Mike and said, " I am sure we are far better of our past self prior thirty minutes and since we don't have any choice but to accept the challenge..." pausing here, Qerin pulled Mike's cheeks and said, " You better complete the challenge because if you can't then I will kill you and kill myself. "

" You..." Mike was speechless and also very happy hearing her, but then he said seriously, " I will complete the challange...no matter what it is or what it takes, and you also do the same because if you failed to complete the challenge...Then I will do the same thing that you just said. "

Qerin nodded while smiling widely, and both of them promised to each other.

After that, Qerin went to her blood pool and sat in the lotus position on the platform, while Mike also did the same.

Both of their platforms were the same, with two square meters in size, so they could easily sit on them.

After they sat on their respective platforms, Their consciousness was pulled into another dreamland and when they saw the being they had to kill, They were shocked.

Because in front of Mike was...another Mike and in front of Qerin was another Qerin.

They could feel a new kind of power that they could control when they appeared here, but...

" Framework Art: Blood Sun Blooming "

" Framework Art: Venomous Tether Blood "

Before Mike and Qerin could use their new power; Their enemy clones attacked them, and...they instantly died.

But they were revived in three-second, and they got five seconds of prep time after they revived.

" What the fuck? 5 second prep time against that powerful shit? " Mike cursed, but he focused and controlled the new power that was inside his energy realm.

Inside his Energy realm, An orb was floating right beside his Primal core, and the orb was slowly gathering energy from the primal core while Mike focused on the power he got.

That orb had a shade of orange color mixed with red as it first gathered primal energy before it released a new kind of energy that spread throughout his whole body.

...

Mike used his new power as several patterns appeared on his body, which looked similar to the attack thrown at him by his clone and he clearly felt that this power gave off a vibe similar to the creatures he fought while staying in the blood pool.

But the five-second prep time was over, and he instantly died again before he could try to attack his clone.
