A New Skill

After successfully reviving from death by poisoning, I continued my routine of killing myself and defeating the dungeon boss to accumulate SP.

And whenever I felt hungry, which happened once every few days, I ate Black Fang’s flesh.

Then, one day, after spending countless days repeating that routine…

Something suddenly changed.

I no longer died after eating monster meat.

I still experienced some discomfort, but that was as far as it went.

Although I was confused about what had happened, I soon discovered the reason.

“…Poison Resistance?”

After hearing that unexpected system notification, I checked my status.

“This is…!”

Just as the system notification had announced, Poison Resistance had indeed been added to my list of skills.

“Come to think of it, I’ve heard about this before. Besides the skills people are born with, it’s also possible to acquire new ones by fulfilling certain conditions…”

However, those conditions were apparently extremely difficult to satisfy.

For example, to acquire Poison Resistance, a person supposedly had to endure exposure to deadly poison for an extended period.

Under normal circumstances, they would almost certainly die long before acquiring the skill.

In fact, I myself had already died from poisoning countless times, but…

“Thanks to Infinite Regeneration, the total amount of time I’ve spent enduring the effects of poison has been considerable… Maybe that’s why I managed to acquire it?”

Regardless of how it had happened, this was a pleasant surprise.

I’d never imagined that repeatedly killing myself would eventually allow me to acquire a new skill.

“And perhaps, if things continue like this, I might be able to acquire all sorts of other skills as well…”

Muttering to myself, I checked my status once more.

“…Although I have no idea how much longer I’ll be stuck here.”

Had it already been thirty days since I was trapped in this place?

My attributes had grown to levels I could never have imagined before.

Normally, if someone continued leveling up and distributed their SP evenly, each of their attributes would be approximately twice their level.

By that calculation, I had already obtained more power than a level 300 adventurer.

And the average level of Alto and the other members of [Guardians of Dawn] was 300.

Before I knew it, my attributes seemed to have surpassed theirs.

Of course, that didn’t mean I could take revenge on them immediately.

“At the very least, if I want to escape from here, I’ll need enough strength to defeat Necro Demon, the level 1000 extra boss.”

I could definitely feel myself growing stronger, but it still wasn’t nearly enough.

Steeling my resolve once again, I continued my endless cycle of killing myself.

—Approximately another month passed.

By then, my attributes had reached even greater heights.
