Extra's Death: I Am the Son of Hades novel Chapter 306

He wanted to force Neo to stop.

But deep down, he knew what Neo was doing must be done.

To save the world.

To save the past.

Neo had to carry the burden alone.

Cracks started to appear on Neo’s body.

Each crack brought searing pain, but Neo did not let out a single complaint.

He had to concentrate, or he couldn’t maintain consciousness in both places.

The passage of time became uneven for him.

If he stopped concentrating even for a moment, while one second passed in the ’present,’ an hour—or even a day—could have gone by in the ’past.’

The disjointed flow of time was tearing apart Neo’s existence.

However, Neo refused to stop.

’Just a bit more,’ he thought, gritting his teeth.

’I have to make sure he saves the world.’

Neo clenched his jaw and increased the output of World Energy, trying to strengthen his crumbling body with it.

A faint, almost imperceptible light surrounded him, flickering weakly like a candle in a storm.

He was giving the job of saving the world to a child.

The least he could do was be there for him and guide him.

…

Age of Gods

A month had gone by since Daniel received the Divine System.

Contrary to his suspicions, the System was genuine.

He awakened his trait thanks to it.

His social status improved with his strength.

From a scavenger who hunted for scraps in broken buildings, he became a hunter who protected the city by defeating the monsters outside of the gate.

"Why do I have such a useless trait!?" Daniel shouted as he ran through the street, rows of monsters following behind him.

The city around him was a ruined expanse of cracked asphalt and shattered buildings.

The air thick with dust and the stench of decay.

Daniel had been happy when he awakened an SSS-rank Trait.

The trait sounded like it would give him some overpowered abilities.

But it didn’t do anything.

It was a scam.

A scam!

"Give me something better!"

As he shouted, more and more monsters ran behind him.

Their growls echoed against the cracked walls.

The shadows of their twisted forms stretched long under the broken streetlights.

It didn’t take long for their numbers to reach hundreds.

Daniel’s level had stagnated at Level 5, which was why he had decided to use one of the system’s precious rewards to level up en masse today.

The first step was to bait hundreds of monsters, much to his dismay.

One wrong step and he would become their breakfast today.

"Come, follow me!"

Daniel taunted the monsters.

He led them towards a narrow street.

The air grew colder as the passage narrowed, walls pressing closer.

At the street’s end, Daniel suddenly stopped.

He turned around and looked back at the monsters.

They were rushing towards him like a sea.

The ground trembled with their steps, and they had a savage look in their eyes, hunger burning bright as they closed in.

Just when the nearest monster was about to pounce on Daniel, he opened his mouth.

"Use Time Stop Slip."

[Time Stop Slip has been used.]
