Chapter 15: Injuries
The moment he saw the kill notification, Mikael collapsed to the ground, too exhausted to even read the rest of the notifications. The mental strain of staying on guard, knowing that a single mistake could cost him his life, had taken a huge toll. Not to mention the pain he endured during the fight, which now felt even worse as the adrenaline faded.
He took a deep breath out of exhaustion but instantly regretted it when a sharp pain shot through his ribs. "That orc really messed me up. I'm so injured that even breathing hurts," he thought, glancing at the orc chief's lifeless body. "But at least I'm in better shape than him," he mused, still shaken by how close he had come to death.
Sigh
"I didn't expect things to get this dangerous when I accepted the Record's offer. It's only been, what, 3 or 4 days? And I'm already this badly injured," he reflected. "But then again, in just 3 or 4 days, I've become what some might call a superhuman. So, I guess it balances out."
Mikael felt a pit in his stomach as he thought, "No, seriously, that was way too dangerous. If that orc had been a speed type instead of just strong, I'd be 100% dead right now."
"Maybe I should leave this world? It's honestly too dangerous—what if I find an easier one?"
He mulled over the idea for a while, trying to push through the pain, but remained undecided. "I could leave, but how can I be sure my progress won't slow down if I 'escape'?"
The uncertainty gnawed at him, and the pain certainly wasn't helping him think clearly. "I'll leave, get some healing in the Records, and then decide whether or not to come back," he finally resolved.
"Records, I want to leave this world."
