A strange light glowed, and it enveloped the entire area. And Alex was gone.
I buckled my knees and puked. After some time, when I recovered. I was in an entirely new area. I was in front of a majestic-looking building; its walls were of blue and white colour. The sky was covered in a black hue. And a strange sort of force was attracting me or telling me to come inside.
But I refused, took some health potions, and saw the surroundings and searched for an exit. I had lived because of my physique. which had given me limitless stamina. So only I could run straight for 2 hours while being chased.
When I tried to go outside, some sort of barrier was trying to stop me. I stopped gone in another direction; the same thing happened. Again, again I tried again; now he was sure that he was trapped and couldn't go back.
Then, after observing. he saw no forest, no beasts, but only countless broken statues as if they were frozen. Like that, he saw more than 50 statues; the further he went, the fewer they were.
Seeing all this alex was very cautious and moved slowly and didn't make a sound then
[ Chain Quest Triggered ]
[ Quest Triggered ]
[ Quest: survive from Nightcrawlers and enter the eternal slumber prison.

As further he was going he saw , he heard a strange sound.
Scritch… scritch… scritch…
Something was moving. Due to his all-seeing eyes he could see a black creature.
Its body was covered in obsidian-like plates, it had no eyes . Only a wide mouth surrounded by sharp, pale white teeth. Seeing this, my heart stopped for a moment.
Then I took a step back.
Snap. The monster's head turned my way. My breathing quickened.
[ Name: Nighter
Tier: 2
It's a cursed form of the beast which were once cursed by Pheonix for helping theouter gods for betrayal.]
[They have no eyes, so they entirely rely on the hearing host. So don't make noise ]
Seeing this, he calmed down and stopped making noise. But another sound came from behind him.
Scritch…
He turned his head and saw it stood unlike others, which had long arms and legs like a human. And long red hair fell across its shoulders, and unlike other monsters, it had 2 yellow-coloured pale eyes.
Then it smiled.
Rows of sharp teeth appeared, and the creature tilted its head.
Crack.
Its neck shifted at an 180-degree angle. Seeing it this close alex could not hold his fear. And he screamed.
FUCCCCK--
[ idiot, Run Survive ]
Hearing the voice, he turned back and saw that every monster in the room turned towards me.
The Night Crawler, which was behind him, vanished. Alex's eyes widened. And
SLASH!!
Pain exploded through his body.
Alex clutched his left shoulder as he realised that his arm was gone.
"AAAAHHHH!"
He was terrified that he was gonna die.
[ run idiot fast don't worry you have the demigod physique. so u will not die ]
[ go straight and left ]
As he heard the voice. then Alex started running without thinking, and he got severely injured from the Nighters ; the wounded places were rotting. And the severed area rotted beyond recognition. Due to his physique, the blood stopped coming from the left shoulder and he had limitless stamina. If it was not this, I would have died over 5 times, he thought.
DING!!
[ Health gone below 90%. Probability of survival 11 %, Adaptability skill awakened ]
[ Analyzing the body ]
[ Analyzing the environment ]
[ Several wounds on the right legs and chest. major wound on the back. Severed left shoulder. Heavy fatigue, and all the wounds are rotting due to exposure to death energy ]
[ Calculating the countermeasures ]
[ Adapting ---, Adap]
Seeing this, I was relieved. And the injuries stopped rotting. And I observed there less to no Nighters.
[ Adapted- skill SWALVE acquired. ]
[ Swalve = it gives immunity to all death energy-related attacks untill adapt level. and affinity towards light and holy energy. Any attacks based on death energy till adapt level are useless.]
But then suddenly the humanoid monsters appeared again with a creepy smile. Yes, the one which took my left hand, but this time.
[ Host, hold for 5 minutes ]
[ Adapting,--Adapting--,Adapting ]
[ Survival probability less than 5% ]
[ Creating countermeasure]
[ Failed ]
[ Creating countermeasure]
[ Failed ]
But then the monster ran towards me and slashed towards my right side, but I avoided it in thin air. And then it left a scream which paralyzed me. It took its hand back and aimed at my heart to stab it. then
[ Survival probability reduced from 5% to 0% ]
[ Alternative route selected ]
[ forced teleportation ]
As the stab came towards his heart, he suddenly vanished, and the monster was confused and furious.
As Alex was teleported, he was lying down, even though his stamina was limitless and his mind was beyond exhaustion; he faced his death 3 times in just two days and even lost his left arm.
And then, when he looked forward.
At the centre of the chamber was a young woman with long pink hair cascading over her shoulders.
Her pale complexion almost seemed to glow under the surrounding runes. Her features were calm and striking, carrying an air of quiet maturity and otherworldly beauty. Her eyes remained closed.
But her hands and legs were tied to a heavy chain, which was covered in an ancient rune. They were hanging from above, where there was absolute darkness.
She could not speak or struggle. She was lying there waiting for her death.
DING!!
