Chapter 50: Resting

50- Resting

ding

I was woken up by the systems notification. And then I read the message,

Host had good sleep

MP has fully recovered

Fatigue is reduced to 0

When I saw that my MP has recovered and even fatigue has been reduced to 0, I felt happy but the next message made me feel wanting to spurt blood.

HP could not be recovered due to host being poisoned

-376 HP

Like what is the concept of losing 376 HP just for sleeping?

So, I asked system

System why did I lose 376 HP? As I was only sleeping.

ding

Host must remember that, host is poisoned and will lose 1 Hp per minute.

And Host slept for 6 hours 16 minutes, which is equal to 376 minutes.

Damn, I forgot about this.

Due to all the events that took place yesterday like,

Killing some unknown injured guy, who had human parts stored in his storage ring.

Escaping from the guards who surrounded me.

Killing guards one by one.

Fighting with the Refinement stage guard and sneakily killing an Evolver guard.

Escaping from the White Fang Wolf and its pack of wolves.

Finding this hidden cave and getting inheritance from old man.

Scavenging for food and getting a new helpful title.

All these things made me forget about the real danger I was in. Although, I am becoming stronger and I have taken my first step towards my revenge and my goal of becoming stronger, but I realized that all this is nothing but wishful thinking and false dream. Because if I dont solve my poison issue then getting this system is like Giving a poor man, all the wealth and beauties to enjoy but, that poor man is suffering from a disease and will die in two days.

I have to find a way to get rid of this poison or cure it. But those bastard friends of mine clearly told me that, when Nine time destroying herb and the Devils Breath combined and successfully introduced into the body, then I can only wait for death. And the chance of getting rid of poison or cure is like winning a lottery, when the number of people who bought lottery is in millions.

I opened the status window,

After confirming my HP and MP, I looked at the stats and saw that my Resistance stat is stuck at 39, due to my internals being poisoned. Looking at all this makes me feel very distressed but, right now I cannot do anything can only try getting out here as soon as possible and find cure. And if possible, I would be very happy if could find a medicine in this Dark Forest which can solve my problem.

Wait, Dark Forest? Why didnt I think of this before?

Right now, I am in the inner area of Dark forest and earlier I atleast knew the way out of the Inner area to Outer area, but when trying to escape from the White Fang Wolf and its pack, we entered deep into forest and right now I am not sure if I will be able to find a way out of this forest.

Although this makes my situation more dangerous, but this is also an opportunity for me.

There are a few sayings like,

Where there is danger, there is an opportunity

Or

The opportunity that lies in every crisis

And if I stay vigilant & avoid monsters, while travelling and finding a way out of this forest, I will come across many rare materials and herbs. And if I am lucky enough, I will be able to find few herbs or medicine that can solve the poison in my body or atleast delay them to certain extent.

Thinking about this I got excited and immediately decided to start looking for medicines and herbs. Plus, I will be using the Observation skill on everything that comes into my view, and by doing that I can also Level up Observation skill, which in return will provide more information, which could prove helpful and increase my chances in finding a medicine or herb that can save me.

So, I woke up Armelia from her sleep.

Hey Armelia wake up.

Yawn... what is it?

Asked Armelia when she woke up while yawning. I replied

We need to leave this cave and find a way out of this forest.

But we have only slept for 5-6 hours, and if we go out now then it will be dark and it will be more dangerous to travel. Let's wait for few more hours, then we can travel when the sun rises and we will be safe if we travel in the daylight.

What Armelia said is true. We slept for 6 hours and when we slept, the sun was setting, and right now there is still time for sun rise. And if we travel now, then in the dark many monsters could attack and its dangerous to travel in the forest at night.

Although I am impatient and want to find medicines to solve the poison, but it would be stupid to travel in this night.

Thinking about this, I told Armelia,

Yes, I forgot that it's still night time and it would be dark outside. You can go back to sleep, let us travel in the morning.

With that Armelia went back to sleep. But unfortunately, I lost my sleep due to my decreasing HP. So, I drank 2 (Level 2 HP potions) and restored my HP.

As I am unable to sleep, I thought of looking at the items available in the store. And see if there are any useful things I can buy or if there are any things that I should add to my Wishlist.

Note:

(Wishlist option is available in the shop window. It would help the user to add things or items that he thinks will be needed but due insufficient funds or some other reason he will not buy now but save them for future shopping.)
