Extra's Death: I Am the Son of Hades novel Chapter 6

Thinking so, the Grim Reaper made up its mind.

It would help Neo.

"O Great Child of Monarch, you can return to Underworld three times again. But after that, you must rest for three days at the minimum."

"We will send you back now. If you wish to continue the training, we will wait for you here."

"I will do that then."

The Grim Reaper returned his soul to the world of living.

After coming back, Neo saw the increasing Exp.

He decided to raise the Exp to the limit before he rested as per the Grim Reaper's instruction.

…

Underworld

When Neo's soul left for the world of living, the three gigantic eyes hovering in the air blinked.

The darkness of the sky stretched into a thin smile.

They had seen all.

From Neo's first appearance in the Underworld, to his trickery against the Grim Reaper, and his resolve that allowed him to keep training even if he had to kill himself over and over.

Death was not simple.

Many souls went insane after touching it once.

The insanity and fear of Death could corrupt all.

Yet, Neo was standing tall after touching it twice.

He planned to meet Death many more times in the future.

He had potential to become 'his' successor.

The sky continued to smile, amused, as it waited for the future to unfold.

…

Underwater Cave

"Achoo! Achoo!"

Neo shivered from cold.

Divine Water was supposed to strength the body.

And, while he could feel his body growing stronger, he was so weak he got cold from staying inside Divine Water for a few minutes.

"I need to do something about this body— Achoo!"

Neo wiped his body with a towel and wore the clothes for a few minutes.

He sat on the edge of the Divine Water pond.

"Brrrr…"

"It's cold."

After a few minutes, he removed his clothes and re-entered the Divine Water pond.

Dying repeatedly was taking a toll on his body and soul.

But he could not stop training.

This opportunity was a blessing.

After all, it was rare to find a vial of Divine Water even after spending a fortune.

Neo was using an entire pond for himself.

And he could return after visiting Underworld.

In the entire history, there were less than five mortals who achieved the same feat.

He submerged himself into the pond and activated the skill.

There was a sense of weightlessness.

His body jerked and he arrived in Underworld.

"We shall send you back."

Just as he opened his eyes, a cloud of black smokes covered him and he woke up inside the Divine Water pond.

Neo's body was shaking intensely.

His teeth clattered and his eyes became bloodshot.

He just wanted to stop.

However, he hardened his resolve and returned to the Underworld.

Arriving in the Underworld, he noticed his complexion had turned pale white.

Just standing straight took a lot out of him.

"…"

The Grim Reaper silently watched his resolve and sent him back.

"Blergh…"

Waking inside the water cave, Neo puked blood.

He fell to his knees.

His vision was spinning, and he could not put strength into his limbs.

'Don't fall asleep… Don't fall asleep…'

He bit his tongue.
