Chapter 1 [ The Mushroom in the Sky]

covering the sky a green mushroom cloud connected the sky and the earth... the sky and the world trembled at the destruction wrought. and in the rubble... a man no older than 30 was looking at that huge mushroom with eyes of extreme fear

"Shit! How did I get to a city devastated by an N-bomb..."

getting up from the rubble he looked at the fresh ruins of a city that was really unknown to him.

[congratulations for learning... "resistance to nuclear radiation"]

freezing at the messages before his eyes. he ignored for a moment that he was exposed to an incredible amount of nuclear radiation.

looking at the window in front of his eyes he slapped his face several times before he knew he wasn't really asleep.

[-1 hp]

[+1 stamina]

looking at the notifications again. soul realised what a precarious situation he was in.. exposed to an incredible amount of nuclear radiation.

[dark magic resistance gained]

wrinkling his eyebrows alma looked up and looked directly at the green mushroom in the distance.. is it really made of dark magic or is it a BN?... and in this world in which it happens. or dystopian future . does magic exist?.

as a reader of isekai of all kinds not only of going to magical worlds. if not futuristic worlds or the future of the world itself. has some notion of its current situation.

[Mission found] [Mission found] [Mission found] [Mission found] [Mission found] [Mission found] [Mission found]

[mission: stay away from the big green mushroom in the sky... and don't die from radiation or mutants]

[reward: 1000 EXP 100 Berries... book of dark arts. major life potion]

[penalty: death]

looking at the mission that jumped into his soul system he knew he couldn't be in this place anymore. let alone with mutants that would surely want to kill him. so taking several steps back he accepted the mission and started running away from the green mushroom.

His mission was to survive, no matter if the system rewarded him for it... for now he had to leave.

"wa!.... blah!... food!... hungry,,,"

stopping when he saw a silhouette not too far away. alma sudo. an ugly slimy thing with three holes that released a disgusting green liquid blocked his way.

On the head of that thing he could see some information.

[Title: Dark Mutant LVL 10]

[info: dangerous mutant ¿?????]

[congrats for learning... gamer eyes... allows to see the limited form of the opponent or objects]

[+1]

seeing that there wasn't much information and he was strangely calm in the face of a death situation. alma looked around. in search of a weapon he could use against the super slow mutant.

[iron bar]

[info: a very hard bar of iron +5 attack]

ok... this will do. grabbing the iron bar alma looked at the mutant closer and closer... "I hope I don't die today"

clutching the iron bar he ran towards the mutant holding back his urge to scream as he did so. and with a heavy blow. he hit it where he thought its head was.

[critical hit!]

the words came out from his strike point.. followed by the mutant falling limp to the ground still leaking liquid from his holes. alma could see how that liquid corroded the ground where he fell.

"shit that's asido... what kind of radiation does this N-bomb have".

Scratching his arm in disgust, alma was about to leave but saw something interesting... a bunch of gold coins and some red potions appeared next to the body.

Come to think of it, I must have inventory, right?

[+1 lvl]

[+1 int]

being careful not to touch the body or the liquid that came out of it... soul grabbed the things and shouted in his mind inventory...

working.. a tab with seemingly. infinite. pictures appeared.

haha I really have an inventory.. with a smile he looked at the potion in his hand.

[minor life potion +10 life for 10 seconds]

seeing the effect and that he had three potions.. soul he looked at his life.

[hp: 7/20]

I really lost one more life in this short time... hesitating a little bit he took the potion.. he felt revitalized much better than before he came to this world really.

[dark magic resistance +1]

[radiation resistance +2]

looking at his soul life he was satisfied

[hp: 17/20]

and this effect lasted for 10 seconds. that means that if he recovers 10 every second. he has 100 life for 10 seconds...

with a smile at this... alma kept the rest of the potions and the gold coins and kept running away from the mushroom in the distance.

It didn't take long to find another mutant.. but this time he didn't stop and hit it with all his strength using the inertia of running.

[+1 lvl]

[learned skill "club wielding" increases the chance of critical damage and concussion. +1 damage per level ]

seeing that after 2 hits this mutant died. alma smiled happy to be able to fuck mutants. that and he had a new skill.

after seeing the description of the ability and being more than satisfied. alma looked at what this mutant dropped.

[dark magic resistance +1]

[radiation resistance +1]

ignoring the notifications that kept popping up every few seconds. alma looked at his loot.

this time it looks like he got lucky and pulled out three red potions and two gold coins. but as a bonus a strange scroll.

[scroll of the devil's way]

[effect: grants the essence stealing ability to the user].

[info: a scroll practiced by the cruelest demons... that grants the ability to steal the memories of another person... only lower in level than the user].

seeing the ability of this scroll soul was speechless. this was broken.. it could literally steal centuries of another person's experience in seconds. as long as it was below their level...

[do you want to learn it?]

pressing yes without hesitation.. alma watched as the scroll turned to dust between his fingers. and the information on how to steal another person's soul essences came to his mind.

[essence stealing learned]

[essence theft lvl 1: you can steal the soul essence of another being.. bringing with you the memories of the other side. memories gained are random. cost-- 10 MP]

looking at the world with different eyes alma was about to leave after saving his loot. but he noticed something.. a small blue light hovering over the mutant's body..

[essence detected.. you want to adsorb it?]

Ho.. now I can see souls?.. that's really crazy.

accepting the adsorption. soul felt something change in his mind. and body.

[a whole soul has been adsorbed. adsorbed memories. "[resistance to dark magic lvl 100 learned]

[dark magic resistance 20 = 120]

[resistance to dark magic evolved to minor immunity to dark magic]

[minor immunity to dark magic: an ability that grants some immunity to curses or dark or demonic energy. resistance increases with level]

[lvl +1]

[ learned dark senses ]

[dark senses: grants the user of a high talent towards dark magic. and the ability to perceive dark magic or dark energy around them ]

[+1 lvl]

feeling the world changing again before his eyes. now he could see it. a green mist that saturated this whole world.. dark energy. in such an amount that it was almost like fog to his eyes

[radiation resistance adsorbed.. +100]

[Radiation resistance 20 = 120 Max]

His body felt truly relaxed as if a weight had been lifted off his shoulders.. and his mind processed with relative ease the memories corroded by the dark magic of the soul he adsorbed.

this soul used to be a medical doctor.. so his memories were actually good for him. in his current situation and to understand what world he was in.

and to tell the truth. no fucking idea... it seems like it used to be the information age.. but I guess that ended with the war that ended up devastating the whole world with nuclear bombs.
