Chapter 28: Life 58, Age 16, Martial Disciple Level 1
Coming back to life this time was horrible. The thoughts of my final moment lingered. That life had lasted nearly eighty years, but all my memories of it were overshadowed by the terror of suffocating to death while being unable to move.
The memory compression that came with a rebirth helped. It separated me. Still, a lingering fear tainted all memories from that life black. I retained everything I learned, but if I thought about how I learned it, fear struck.
Focus on the future, not the past.
“System, I want to expand my storage space to 1,000 cubic centimeters.”
Cost 29,760.
Confirmed. 13,070 credits remaining.
I didn’t feel any different, but when I looked into the storage space, I found it significantly larger. This would, at minimum, let me start lives easier.
After that, I considered a few other purchase options. I thought about asking where to find a spatial spirit fire seed or where I might be able to get powerful cultivation techniques, but I decided not to. I wanted to look for these on my own. If I didn’t make any progress, I could always buy the information later.
There was one thing I was interested in looking into though. A long time ago I bought an ability that would let me identify pills. The original ability was ‘limited’ and could only identify a few of the pills I had made. I had expanded it during my seclusion to help me further, but even the limited ability had been useful.
