Chapter 3 - Lived To Tell The Tale

Roy was there on the ground groaning as his body wanted him to give up right then and there.

Roy looked at the girl and asked in a raspy voice "You... alright?" He looked at the girl her red hair looked like a complete mess her green eyes were filled with tears

She looked at him as tears were falling from her eyes like a river and nodded.

He looked at her then sighed a little, " Hay! Look, I am not good at comforting people, but for my sake, please don't cry, my ears hurt from listening to it!"

She nodded and wiped her tears. She was still trembling and sniffing and came a little close to him and placed her hand on his chest and said, "I can't do much, but... hopefully this helps you!"

A green light covered Roy's body, and he suddenly felt a lot better than before and actually could move a little. His mind also became a lot clearer.

[ The Enlightened One is smiling at you happy with your choice! ]

[ The Monkey King is praising your bravery and companionship! ]

'Well good to know they are happy after I almost died!' as his eyes twitched from anger.

He then stood up slowly, 'I can't relax now there are only two minutes left!'

He again looked around and saw that most of the lower-class people were dead, only a few remained alive. Then he saw a huge group of higher-class people and some of the middle class.

"What class are you?"

She looked at him and said, " A high class why?"

"Are your parents anyone important?"

"My father is the owner of the company that manufactures weapons"

"Then go there they will protect you if you stay with me it probably will be bad"

She asked, "Then..why won't you go there too"

He looked at her with a deadpan expression, "Are you really 20? You sound like a 10-year-old child. Do you really not know what is happening around the world?"

With that, he ended the conversation and ran towards the two goblins. He saw the girl also go her way.

"Huff...Huff this nightmare is finally over!!"

Roy was lying on the grass, surrounded by the bodies of dead goblins. He was completely covered in black blood, so much so that nobody would be able to recognise him.

[ The Enlightened One is looking at you glad to see you are alive and is looking at the gift option]

[ The Monkey King is smiling at you and is looking at the give exp option]

[!! You have received a skill Divine Cultivation from The Enlightened One!!]

Roy's eyes lit up with excitement, " Thank you so much!!"

[ The Enlightened One is happy that you liked his gift!! ]

[ The Monkey King is happy that you liked his gift!! ]

Then, to add to the excitement, he saw the blue screen again.

[*****]

Roy looked at the list, then his eyes began feeling heavy, and after some time, they closed shut.

The next thing he knew, he was back at the bench where he was before going to the dream. He shivered a little due to the cold, then looked around. He was back. His life could now turn around. Then the familiar blue screen appeared in front of him.

[ The stream has ended! ]

"Huh? So it automatically ends after I leave the dream"

He then summoned the blue screen by subconscious calling it, but this time, there was another option there.

[****]

1) Stats

2) inventory

[****]

Roy decided to check out the skill first because it was given to him by a god.

[ Devine Cultivation: The skill developed by The Enlightened One long time ago this skill can allow the user to grow their mental and physical strength by eliminating impurities]

Roy's face lit up with excitement, "That is good! Super good!"

He then noticed something else.

[

Devine Cultivation (1) [ 0/1000]

Streaming (1) [ 15/300]

]

"So this is the amount of exp I need before they level up"

Roy then checked on his inventory to see the boon he worked so hard to get.

[ Inventory ]

1) Dagger

[*****]

He looked at it for a while with a deadpan expression then summoned the details describing the weapon.

[

Name: Dagger

Type: short ranged

Tier: 1

Skills: resilient

]

"So it's just a dagger but can't be broken easily that is ok...I guess"

He then summoned the dagger in his hands, and it formed slowly as ethereal light appeared in his hand, and finally it formed into a dagger.

Supposingly, it felt light; he could easily swing it, the last time it had taken some effort out of him.

"It's probably because I leveled up my body that it feels a little stronger now that I noticed it"

He then stood up, looked at the giant wall again for a while, then left.

He walked for a while, shivering like crazy, before arriving near an alleyway. He went inside and found a bunch of people sleeping on the ground, only a small cardboard box to protect them from the cold, and found one at a corner.

He had a sad smile on his face and spoke in a horse voice, "I am back home, I guess," he then huddled into the cardboard that was lying there.

His stomach growled, but he had nothing to eat, so he slept while being hungry and cold because what would a cardboard even do in the crushing Winter?

****

In one of the big buildings, a girl woke up Her red hair looked beautiful, her green eyes looked tired, and she looked around for a while.

"Ah, honey, our daughter is here!"

Both her parents hugged her tightly as they were crying.

After seeing them she also began to cry, "I missed you guys so much!!"

They gave her warm clothes, and then the whole family began eating a warm dinner while smiling, all of them looked so happy together...
