[Due to surviving from the brink of death, host's {Escape Death} and {Rise From the Dead} has gained a level.]

Urgg ... where am I? I groggily opened my eyes and looked around, but was met with darkness. I tried to move my body, but it seems that I am cuffed tightly by metal against the wall. Well, where the f**k am I? Pure darkness, this couldn't be hell right? How can a righteous man like me end up in hell? If anyone, it would be the shameless Fatty first! Wait, where is the Fatty?

"F-Fatty? You there?" I hollered in a hoarse voice as I felt that my throat was parched, thirsting for a drink.

I was met with no response. After a bit, I tried calling out once more. There was no response once again. My heart could not help but pick up its pace as I fear that I was all alone in this darkness. I hoarsely cried out a few more time, but to no avail. I then blankly stared into the darkness. I told myself that the Fatty was not responding because he was still passed out, hence I waited.

I didn't know how long I waited as it seemed to have been days. I tried called every once in a while that I was awake, but I finally had to accept reality. I was in the darkness, all alone. Although I wasn't afraid of the dark as I was a brave man, but waking up locked up in darkness sent chills down my spine as I feared that I had already passed away.

I believed that I was still alive, and I called up my status to check if there was a dead status.

It seemed that I was alive as I didn't see any 'dead' tag on my status. I used this method for a while to tell myself that I was alive, but eventually it became pointless as I remembered that some of the MCs in novels can still see the system when dead.

However my confidence was boosted not long after as for the first time ever, I experienced happiness as I felt hunger. I was glad that I was hungry because it told me that I was at least alive in some sense. I tried to knock the thought that I was just a hungry ghost out of my mind as I constantly told myself that I was alive. Although it was a bit difficult to not go crazy, I managed as I had suffered worst as noted by the strength of my {Divine Mental Fortress}.

I don't know how much time passed, but I began to feel groggy as my stomach growling gradually grew silent, or maybe it was my hearing going silent. Suddenly, a booming voice resounded in the dark space, shocking me out of my stupor.

"Brat, do you want to eat?"

I groggily looked up to see a large holographic old, but muscular man with a white goatee and almost bald head. Although I was shocked, I nodded with all my strength as I very much desired food.

"Oh? Then, I will let you eat ... as soon as you tell me who sent you," the old man said.

I was in a groggy state in which my mind didn't work that well, hence it was hard for me to understand his implications; however, even if I was clear minded, I was pretty sure I wouldn't know what he wants to know. I could only shake my head as I was about to tell him that I don't know what he was talking about as he had gotten the wrong person; however, before I could, the voice boomed in anger, "That is the wrong answer. Then I shall come back another day.

Let's see how long you can last. Heh, don't think about dying as there are medicinal injections to keep you alive for as long as I want."

Before I could stop him, the voice disappeared along with the image. I could only stare into darkness once more. Then, in a groggy state I stayed for an unknown time period before the voice appeared once more. Once again, I was asked the same question, but unfortunately, I didn't even have the strength to move my mouth anymore let alone reply. Hence, I could only watch in despair as the voice disappeared once more.

Although my sights are fading out, I knew that I will live because there will be medicinal injections to keep me alive. True to his words, one day while I was in a groggy state of lapsing into unconsciousness, a piercing pain woke me up as some sort of content seemed to have been injected into my bloodstream. I instinctively realized that it was the medicinal injection to keep me alive, and I was glad; however, my hopes were dashed not long after.

Ding~ [Unknown medicinal content has been injected into host. Medicinal effects deemed to have negative side effects after usage. Host's {Slime's Greed} has been activated.]

[Host has absorbed unknown medicinal content. Host has gained progress in {Poison Body} and {Divine Blood Rebirth}.]

No. You f**king system! Why would you do this to me?! I want the food content even if it has side effects! Unfortunately, no matter how much I curse internally at the system, the system never responded nor allowed the medicinal content to pass. Although the system's auto-action feature has saved my life plenty of times in the past, this time, it might just be the cause of my downfall.

If it had ended like so, I might have been able to die peacefully; however, it seems the mechanics behind the injection had some sort of mechanism that tested if I'm about to perish from hunger. When it deemed so, it would feed me injections. I made this conclusion because the continuous piercing pain after the first injection plagued me, causing me to become wide awake. Constant injections came from many angles as I was pierced over and over again.

At first I still felt pain as I was still awake, but I could feel my mind getting heavier and heavier. The pain started to fade away as I felt constant pokes, but I only found them annoying as they are simply disturbing me from my sleep. Same with the constant 'dings' from the notification as if it was telling me that sleep was the wrong choice.

Please, just go away and let me rest. Alas, it seemed the annoyance finally went away as I slipped into unconsciousness.
