Chapter 4
I thought I was dead when I fell off the cliff. My sense of rhythm was paralyzed by the fear of the fall, causing me to react half a beat too late. Yet, the reason I survived was incredibly simple.
“One second invincible!”
Bang!
[Impact detected.]
[One second invincibility trait activated.]
[Cooldown for one second invincibility: 59 seconds.]
“Seriously… if it’s a passive trait, they should at least mention it.”
Anyway, I didn’t want to stay in that eerie thicket, so I struggled to find my way up. My destination was that house swarming with the people who tried to kill me.
It might seem crazy to walk there on my own, but I had no choice. Could the dangers of the mansion compare to those outside? If I left with this body, I wouldn’t last long before starving to death or being sold at a slave market. With only one second of invincibility, I wouldn’t survive long enough to find any means of livelihood. Even if I learned swordsmanship and became a mercenary or explored the demon realm, I’d die quickly. If they discovered I was alive, the mistress would have me killed since my survival would keep the succession rights intact.
