Cursed Legendary Trait

[ You have been revived ]

Noah appeared in the middle of a scorching desert.

"Hufff! Huff! Huff!"

He fell to his knees and clutched the area over his heart, while droplets of sweat dribbled down his body. The pain of having his limbs torn was still vivid in his mind.

Without hesitation, Noah shouted. "Log out!"

[ Do you wish to Log Out? ]

"Yes"

[ Error! Logout function is unavailable for NPC Player affiliation! ]

Noah's eyes widened. He repeated in a trembling voice. "L-log out"

[ Error! Logout function is unavailable for NPC Player affiliation! ]

After trying the same function many times, to no avail, he repeated to himself.

"It's okay. Everything is fine. As long as I don't die…."

The sand beneath his feet started sinking. As if on cue, a massive sandworm dug out the sand and ate him.

[ You have died ]

[ You are in Void ]

[ Trait 'Directionally Challenged' will activate ]

[ You have been revived ]

Noah shook while looking at his surroundings. He whispered to himself.

"Those were unlucky deaths. I just need to revive in a safe place once for this to end."

GRRRRRR!!!

A savage growl echoed in the dark cavern.

"W-what?"

A massive wolf was looking down at Noah. It was large enough to chow down a mountain in one gulp. Ancient chains bound the wolf while it tried to break free.

The monster salivated at the sight of prey,

Droplets of saliva fell from the sky. A single droplet touched Noah….

Sizzzzllle!

Noah's skin melted. The venomous liquid dug into his body and burned him inside out.

[ You are in Void ]

[ Trait 'Directionally Challenged' will activate ]

[ You have been revived ]

"W-why?"

Noah refused to believe the reality he was going through, wanting everything to be a nightmare.

He had appeared deep underwater. Water gushed into his lungs and a burning pain flared.

[ You have been revived ]

Before Noah could even move, a shrill cry echoed and shattered his brain.

[ You have been revived ]

He appeared on a small piece of land surrounded by magma. The intense heat, coupled with sinking land robbed him of his life within a few minutes.

[ You have been revived ]

He died.

[ You have been revived ]

He died again.

[ You have been revived ]

And again and again and again.

[ You have been revived ][ You have been revived ][ You have been revived ][ You have been revived ][ You have been revived ][ You have been revived ][ You have been revived ][ You have been revived ][ You have been revived ][ You have been revived ][ You have been revived ][ You have been revived ][ You have been revived ][ You have been revived ]

— 37th Revival.

Noah appeared in a destroyed city where rain fell endlessly.

"It won't work."

Although the resurrection location was random, Noah finally accepted the truth. He would always die soon after reviving.

"Then…" He took a deep breath and spoke begrudgingly. "...I'll fight."

At that moment, howls reverberated through the broken town.

However, Noah didn't move. He was watching over his system panels, at the skills of his legendary class, to fight.

[ Class: Hepius' Disciple ]

[ As the student of Saint Sage, you cannot use any attack skills ]

A single line devastated Noah, pouring cold water over his hopes.

— 51st Revival

Even without attack skills, Noah didn't give up. He continued to struggle, to fight.

His heart was filled with anger against the High-Heaven Corp which made this game. There was no way they were not aware of what he was going through.

Yet, they trapped him in this endless cycle.

— 123rd Revival

Noah ran while trying to avoid getting crushed by a stampede of trolls. He stared at the sky with a hazy gaze. The flames of vengeance shrinking.

He didn't know for how much longer he could continue.

— 181th Revival

Noah managed to stay alive for 40 minutes. It was his longest record. He just wanted the time to increase in future.

— 233rd Revival

The past 50 revivals were filled with quick yet painful deaths. Dying from suffocation, being an experiment subject, getting crushed by towering giants.

In the end, 5 minutes was the maximum for his recent revivals.

— 578th Revival

Hundreds of meteors fell from the sky.

Noah watched the scene while lying on his back, unlike others who were trying to run away.

There was only a single thought in his head. If he could go back in time, he would never eat the Awakening Fruit.

Any semblance of resistance had died.

Noah had left everything to luck, hoping to revive in a safe location.

— 1343rd Revival

Noah didn't know when it started but his senses were dulling. The pain of being stabbed didn't feel sharp anymore. It didn't hurt as much when he was torn from limbs or burnt alive.

The fear of death was also disappearing.

It was starting to get peaceful.

— 3489th Revival

When was the last time he slept so peacefully?

In that state, Noah lost his sense of time, death and life.

Noah couldn't discern his surroundings anymore. He just continued in the trance.

Even if there was an escape, he didn't want it any longer.

He only wanted to sleep.

— 7777th Revival

"..arling.."

A captivating voice entered Noah's ears. It was the first stimulus he had received in a long while,

Noah slowly opened his hazy eyes.

"Are you finally awake, darling?"

A woman with an extremely arousing figure was sitting on top of him. Her long black hair, which was darker than night, and her blood-red eyes could captivate the heart of any gender in a single glance.

However, Noah wasn't looking at her. Hepius, who was floating behind the woman, was shouting frantically, telling Noah to move away from the woman.

The woman's cherry-like lips opened, revealing her fangs. "Your soul has been eroded from being too long in Void, darling. Let me heal you."

She bit down on Noah's neck. Noah didn't resist. If the woman was truly dangerous, Hepius would kill him before something happened.

"Ack!"

Noah was jolted awake and his hazy eyes gained clarity.

He could feel warmth transferring into him from the location he was being bitten. At the same time, the woman continued to drink his blood.

"W-who are yo–Aghhh!!!"

Countless notifications appeared before Noah. The energy transferring to him was too much for him to handle.

His innards churned while his bones twisted. Noah began bleeding from all orifices.

"Phwah, it seems you were too weak to become my darling, darling. It's a pity, you tasted delicious."

The woman bit down again. However, any previous alikeness of gentleness was gone.

She ruthlessly ripped his neck apart after draining him.

"Goodbye, darling."

[ You have died ]

Noah appeared in Void. Instantly, Hepius rushed to him.

{Child, how are thee feeling? That bloodsucker did not turn thee into her mate, did she? Art thou still human….}

"I'm fine now."

Hepius' eyes widened when he saw Noah smiling.

— 9999th Revival

Noah's cycle of death and revival continued.

If something had changed, it was his will.

Meeting Dracula, the Mother of Night and Originator of Vampires, was a blessing in disguise. She killed him but Noah gained something invaluable thanks to her.

It made him realize that the Void was eating his mind.

The moment he stopped struggling, he would die permanently.

— 21387th Revival

Noah continued to fight. Just once, he needed a slight push to make a breakthrough. And at last, the chance came.

Ding!

[ You have continued to fight tenaciously for 9999 lives. ]

[ You have gained the title…..]
