Chapter 129

Taking a few detours and shortcuts, my feet finally touched the top of the skull, allowing me to slowly turn around and face the endless drop which was the cliff.
My eyes did not waver from the edge of the cliff for a moment as the determination within my eyes burned brightly. I just wanted to see my family again. I just wanted to see Crystal, and Alex again. Why did fate have to go this way? Why did they all die while I survived?
I had so much to live for yet now that they are dead, I feel so empty.
My foot had finally hovered over the cliff, ready to jump off when finally, a realization hit me.
'What if I die and have to go through the same pain once again, just to be rebirthed into this world to die over and over again?!' I pondered as hesitation reached my feet, causing both of them to get planted into the ground.
"For god sake." I sighed with exasperation at the fact that my body was so determined to not budge.
However, even the system seemed to not believe me as in the next moment, I watched it create a screen in front of me which read-
[Unknown energy had been detected within you]
[Please check your stats screen to allocate points]
'Hmm?' I mild amount of curiosity began to control me, and even though I did not want to admit it, this was the thing I was waiting for the whole time.
I was desperately trying to find a reason to survive, and now that I've seen a glimpse of hope flash before my eyes, I was hooked to it. My life literally depended on what I was about to see.
"Status." I spoke out loud rather than my usual whisper, causing my voice to come out raspy and croaky due to me not having used it for so long, or technically not at all in this body.
