The aftereffects are setting in.
“Ugh, ugh!”
I was drooling and scratching the floor.
The world that appeared red just a moment ago.
It seems to be shrouded in darkness now.
It was pitch black and all I could see was a vague outline, and the ground was rippling and dancing as if it was going to knock me over.
There is not much time.
I walked towards the entrance, feeling the floor as if I was waiting.
As if by chance, a holy sword and a magic gun were caught in his hand and foot.
The holy sword and the magic gun are not important.
I barely made it to the entrance, holding her with one arm.
“Coolook!”
Spitting up blood.
I felt a ringing in my ears and then the sound suddenly stopped.
The silence consumed me like a predator.
My whole body feels like it’s burning.
It feels like I’ve been affected by the fever debuff again.
I took a deep breath and threw myself down the stairs.
Boom boom boom!
I rolled down dozens of stairs but felt nothing.
Even the sense of touch was blocked.
The aftereffects of madness.
It’s holding on by maintaining mutations, but it won’t last long.
If the aftereffects come 100%, and even the last bit of reason is eaten away······
It’s the end.
The body may survive, but the mind will die and you will become a monster, a perfect mutant.
“Eww!”
Chew your tongue.
He unconsciously placed the holy sword against his chest and struck it roughly.
An icy pain branded my heart as if it were splitting open.
“Ugh, ugh.”
Originally a holy sword that strengthens and protects its owner.
However, it also has the magical power to defeat evil beings.
That lightning ability was manifesting towards me.
A sharp white light flashes from the wounded area.
The light that should have been warm is now hostile to me.
Rather, it was good.
Because the cold, oppressive light made me come to my senses.
“Whew, whoosh, whoosh.”
I go down the stairs with great difficulty.
Three, four in one go, no, almost half at a time.
My knees were aching and my calves were numb, but I didn’t care. I didn’t care that my muscles were torn apart and bleeding.
If you delay even a little bit, all your muscles will rupture and your bones will be on the verge of splitting!
Bam!
The door opened.
It’s a door leading to a secret underground space.
Ignoring the pain in my legs that felt like they were broken, I forced my bloated body through the narrow door.
“Ugh, ugh.”
I drank the high-grade holy water that I had prepared in advance.
But it is not enough.
It is not enough without a reason.
Somehow, I managed to change my traits and ended up throwing myself into the magic bathtub before losing consciousness.
·········
·········
It was a long time before my consciousness, which had been dormant, emerged.
It was strangely noisy outside.
“Huh······You’re crazy, you’re crazy.”
“You did all this by yourself?”
“I found out during the dagger fight, but it wasn’t ordinary.”
“It wasn’t level 1 when you first saw it, right?”
“This is at least level 4······”
“You shouldn’t be annoying.”
I just rolled my eyes and checked the situation.
In the magic bathtub.
He is lying face down.
I couldn’t even get in properly. Only the upper half of my body was barely immersed, and one leg was completely outside.

The good news is that I didn’t hit my head.
He collapsed with his head slightly turned to the side, his nose and mouth above the water, barely able to breathe.
‘Ugh.’
I tried to moan, but no sound came out.
He doesn’t even lift a finger.
No, the moment I made up my mind, I had to swallow my screams as intense pain shot through me from head to toe.
Although I was shaking with pain, I felt a great sense of relief inside.
‘I lived······’
A feeling of overwhelming relief came over me like a river.
I lived. I survived.
I just rolled my eyes and checked my body.
It’s a normal human body. It’s not the monstrous body of a mutant.
The gamble paid off.
Instead, although he is suffering from terrible aftereffects, the power of the holy water energy and magic water in his stomach is slowly healing him.
“Heh, heh heh heh.”
He laughed quietly.
Actually, I wanted to laugh out loud, but I couldn’t.
I laughed so loudly that the sound was barely audible, like the rustling of leaves at a mere 20 decibels.
But it was refreshing.
It couldn’t be more pleasant.
The belated sense of victory made me fly.
Is this what happens when you spread your wings and fly?
Would bungee jumping from a high jump be similar?
The vast sense of liberation was refreshing to my heart and my head was pounding with a sense of accomplishment.
After laughing for a while, I finally calmed down.
The first thing I did was change the traits.
[Regeneration][Healing wounds][Vitality]
[Purification][Einherjar Training Method][Magic Recovery]
The previous one was barely optimized by removing only the mutant traits.
By this point, I felt something strange.
I put all my effort into recovering my body, but somehow my body feels heavier than I expected.
I have a gut feeling that I’m missing something.
‘Huh? By any chance?’
There was something that caught my eye.
Brings in new characteristics.
[revival]
Similar to regeneration, but the effect increases as the degree of injury increases, and the recovery ability decreases for light injuries.
How many times have I almost died and come back to life?
Of course, it becomes a condition for acquisition.
I used the cleanse a few times and then put it away and put the revive in the empty space.
Then I calmly calculate it in my mind.
‘How many are left until immortality?’
A true tier 1 in body recovery characteristics.
Additionally, it is a series trait that only warrior series superhumans can obtain.
The basic required trait is Regeneration, and can be obtained by synthesizing it with five additional body recovery traits or by completing a very special quest.
Or, you can spend money to get a character with immortality as a unique trait and pass it on, or get an immortality memory chip.
‘There’s healing, vitality, and revival. Healing is something you can eat with equipment proficiency… I just need one more?’
It’s not just immortality.
The warrior class’ Tier 1 traits, such as Giant’s Strength, Diamond Body, Unbreakable, Real Fighting, Sword Expert, and Gunslinger, were waiting for me.
Wow, the blank body and trait switching are really scams.
If you want to pass on one tier 1 trait while raising Kim Jeon Sa, you have to spin around like crazy.
“Superman! Superman! Where are you!”
“Superman!”
I hear someone calling me from outside.
I gritted my teeth and wiggled my fingers.
It’s hard to move even one finger, as if I’m paralyzed.
After taking several deep breaths and squeezing out all the strength I had, I was finally able to wiggle my fingers.
Then, as if by magic, the paralysis lifted.
I barely managed to turn over my sore and tired body and immerse myself in the bathtub.
with a plop!
My body is completely immersed in the bathtub along with the sound of water.
The magical waters enveloped my entire body warmly.
Only then is the refreshing energy fully projected into the body.
Shake!
He grabbed the holy sword with his left arm and dropped the magic gun outside the bathtub.
The same goes for gloves.
My left hand, which was still intact, was still being sucked dry by this crazy glove.
His right hand was so badly damaged that he couldn’t use it.
When I bite it and pull it out, my mind finally becomes clear and I can think of something sensible.
“Superman······ Ugh!”
“What’s wrong? Uh······ Ehh!”
“Superman! Are you okay?”
Now the Iron Fist gang members have found me.
Their faces, which have been through all kinds of hardships, change into grotesque changes of shock and fear.
I dipped my right hand into the magic water and gently shook only my left hand.
“Open.”
“Hey······, call 119!”
“119? Are you crazy? I’ll chase after you because you’re a good cop!”
“Then we should call 129!”
“Superman! You need to go to the hospital right away!”
“Oh, it’s okay. It’s okay. It’ll get better if you rest a bit.”
“You’ll get better if you rest! You can go right now! Even if you can’t go to an official hospital, if you give them some money, there’s a strong doctor who can regenerate your body!”
That’s because I said there’s no need to go.
There is revival in regeneration, healing in wound recovery.
Even now, my necklace is still sparkling brightly.
If you do this, it will all recover, even if it takes time.
A completely mangled hand, even a severed finger.
“her······”
Kim Cheol-kwon and Director Choi rushed in after hearing the news.
Kim Cheol-kwon is speechless, and Chief Choi drops his chin.
“Superman······ Superman? What on earth is going on?”
Director Choi approached, trembling.
He almost looks like he’s about to kneel down and cry out loud.
He raised his left hand and quickly stopped her.
“I drank the whole cleaning association by myself, so this is cheap.”
“But, but······ Isn’t this too much······”
What on earth is going on?
Only then did I lower my gaze and calmly check my body.
Needless to say, my right hand is swollen.
There’s no way other places would be okay.
A strangely twisted left arm.
A chest with more than ten sword marks drawn on it.
The lower abdomen was bruised and swollen from internal bleeding.
My right shin where the bone is poking through the skin, probably because it was broken at some point.
The face reflected in the water was the deciding factor.
His entire face was burned and his skin was completely bruised.
The lips were torn, exposing the teeth, and only traces of the nose and ears remained.
Looks like a monster straight out of a horror movie.
I moved my bizarre mouth, my mouth with only teeth left, and smiled.
“This is cheap. It’s much better than dying, isn’t it?”
Reiterating what was said earlier.
I was sincere.
It is also damage that can be repaired.
Chief Choi looks at me with eyes of admiration.
“Superman······ Really······”
Kim Cheol-kwon regained his composure.
He looks over my body thoroughly and asks.
“You are regenerating. Are you able to recover your powers?”
“it’s possible.”
“Your hand too?”
“yes.”
“Hahahaha.”
Kim Cheol-kwon laughs as if he can’t believe it.
“This guy is bigger than I thought. With his talent, he’ll definitely be different.”
“Huh? Boss? That talent?”
“There is something like that.”
Kim Cheol-kwon interrupts Chief Choi’s words appropriately.
He looks at the magic bathtub I am soaking in with meaningful eyes and asks.
“How can I get you home? I could bring you more water from your house, but that might be inconvenient.”
“please.”
After all, home is more comfortable.
Soon, a group of Iron Fist gang members came in.
I covered it to keep the water from overflowing, grabbed my things, and loaded the whole thing into the big minivan.
I head home in a rattling minivan.
They moved the magic bathtub back to its original location, cut open my stomach to drain the blood that had accumulated in my abdominal cavity, changed the water, and then everyone left.
Just one person.
Only Director Choi remains.
“Superman. Are you sure you’re okay?”
It seems like he just can’t bring himself to move.
Director Choi was pacing back and forth in front of the magic bathtub.
“I told you it’s okay.”
“Should I call a maid for a moment? I need someone to take care of Superman······”
“It’s really okay. If you really care, just pile some meat and vegetables on the side and leave. Look at this. Isn’t it already pretty well recovered?”
I waved to Director Choi.
Right hand, not left hand.
Even when he was at Geonwoobong Peak, all his fingers had fallen off and only the worn-out hand bones remained, turning it into a blunt bone knife.
Now the blood vessels, nerves, and muscles were somewhat elevated.
Not a single finger has recovered yet, but I expect it to be fully recovered in about two weeks.
Chief Choi swallowed dryly at the sight of the horrifying sight.
“You’re definitely feeling better than before.”
“That’s right. You’re helping me by leaving me alone.”
“Well, if there’s anything I can help you with, please let me know.”
“You helped me a lot this time. I appreciate that alone.”
“Don’t worry. It’s Superman’s job, so of course I have to help.”
Chief Choi piled the table next to the magic bath with grilled meats, fresh vegetables, and high-calorie drinks.
As if that wasn’t enough, they even brought a refrigerator from upstairs and left it there.
So that I can just reach out and grab the groceries.
“I’m going to go now.”
“Yes, thank you for your hard work.”
“You must have had a hard time, Superman. My goodness, you ended the cleaning association all by yourself… Starting tomorrow, our office phone is going to be on fire.”
“That’s a good thing.”
“sure.”
Director Choi bowed deeply.
“Then take care of yourself and if anything happens, please contact me.”
“Yes, take a look.”
Finally some alone time.
Thanks to the Sanctuary Statue, there is no danger.
“Phew.”
I lay in the magic bathtub.
The stomach is not stitched up and bleeding is gushing out.
Because of that, the water in the magic spring turned red.
Gulp gulp gulp.
It doesn’t matter.
Because water is automatically draining out through the half-opened stopper, and new magical water is flowing in through the turned-on faucet.
With the recovery series traits heavily applied here, the necklace, and the holy sword held in her arms, her body recovered quickly.
That much calories are burned.
Suddenly I felt hungry, so I stuffed meat, vegetables, and drinks into my mouth.
And then I slept.
When I woke up, I ate again.
I lived in the magic bathtub 24 hours a day, except when I went to the bathroom.
The effect was significant.
My body was recovering at a rapid pace.
The skin had already regenerated and fingers had begun to grow.
The internal bleeding has stopped and the internal wound has healed, and the heartburn has subsided considerably.
I even forgot the time and date.
The coma, which wasn’t a coma, has passed the calendar month.
An injury that would have been healed in a day if it had been a game.
The reality was different.
It took exactly 15 days for smartphones to finally return to normal.
“uh······”
It was strange.
I raised my head but I didn’t know why my body felt so light.
I feel like I’m born again.
The dark basement seemed strangely bright, and the magical power floating in the air was clearly felt.
especially.
It was the new magical circuit engraved on my body.
Unlike levels 1 and 2, which were just a few strands of wire, this is a complexly structured magic circuit that extends like a spider web with the magic core at the center.
I injected magic power into the magic circuit.
An action done unconsciously.
But the aftermath was enormous.
Phew!
The water explodes.
The water in the bathtub reacted with the magic and splashed in all directions.
The table fell over and the refrigerator was hit hard, making a loud thud.
Meanwhile, steam rises and moves like clouds.
It was like a bomb had been placed in the water and then exploded.
It only made sense when I saw this scene.
That I became a level 3 superhuman.
