Extra's Death: I Am the Son of Hades novel Chapter 162

"I'll need to ask Professor Daniel about this."

He took on the SS-rank mission and left for Labyrinth.

While he was trying to reach the chamber of Minotaur, he attained 249/250 exp in Immortal.

As long as he reached 250 exp, he would become a Mythic-rank demigod.

"It's a good new. But the Exp isn't increasing anymore."

The Exp wouldn't go higher than 249 no matter how many times he used the skill.

He instinctively knew what the problem.

"There is no pressure.

"I need to put heavy strain on the Immortal skill to increase the exp."

Back when he awakened his God Blood, he had done the same with Death skill.

Neo forced himself to use Death multiples times even thought it strained his soul.

"How the hell am I supposed to put pressure on the Immortal? Die very hard and then revive?"

The list of his problems only increased.

He stopped finding monsters inside the Labyrinth.

It was as if they were purposefully avoiding him.

When he did find them, they wouldn't give much stats.

"What is this dammit? It's just one problem after another."

"The Fate is trying to stop you."

The voices of Time answered.

A few words were spoken in the voice of Professor Daniel, a few in Elizabeth's voice, and Felix's voice.

It was sounded as if someone was editing recorded lines and rearranging them to form new sentences and answering Neo with them.

"This damned Fate."

He returned to Professor Daniel.

"I'll ask him if there is a way out of the Fate's machination."

Neo doubted Professor Daniel could give him an answer.

However, there was no harm in trying.

He waited outside Professor Daniel's office at designated time.

Professor Daniel did not open the door no matter how much Neo waited.

"He always opens the door at 5:03 am.

"But it's 8 am right now."

A dark foreboding settled in Neo's heart.

He waited until 11 am and entered the office when the door remained close.

"Professor Daniel, I'm entering since you have been late…"

Neo's words were struck in his throat when he saw Professor Daniel lying on the floor, unconscious.

He picked him up hurriedly.

"Why is he so light? It's almost as if he is hollow…"

Neo shook his head and lay Professor Daniel on the sofa.

The professor woke up after a few hours.

He massaged his brows.

"Professor Daniel, are you okay—"

"Did you awaken Time element?"

He cut off Neo midsentence and asked.

Neo frowned.

He realized Professor Daniel did not want him to ask why he had fainted.

"Not yet."

"Then give up."

Professor Daniel coughed and continued.

"You have no talent for Time element if you can't awaken it even after so many tries."

"…"

"Give up. Your body can't handle more regressions. You'll die from Erosion."

"I can endure—"

"Look at yourself. You have grown five years younger due to Erosion."

Neo stopped speaking.

He couldn't say anything in return.

"When was the last time you met your friends?"

"…"

"I knew it. You don't want anyone you know to find you are dying a slow death of Erosion."

Professor Daniel glared at Neo.

"Let go of your obsession, Neo.

"Accept it. You don't have talent for Time."

"I can't give up."

Professor Daniel hit the table when he heard Neo's answer.

"The Time is eroding you! More regressions and you'll be snapped out of existence!

"Gone, just like that!

"No one will remember you!"

Neo clenched his fists.
