My 100th Rebirth a day before the Apocalypse novel Chapter 389

The moment Kisha spotted Duke, she leaped at the opportunity to check his stats window, eager to compare their progress.

Even though they were now a couple, a lingering sense of competitiveness still simmered between them.

In her previous life, she and Duke had always engaged in friendly rivalry, constantly pushing each other to improve, and were constantly on each other’s back.

They had once thrived on the thrill of outdoing each other, and while that competitive spark still lingered, it now felt more subdued than in her past life.

Without hesitation, she accessed his status window.

Kisha inhaled sharply as she studied Duke’s stats, her heart racing with surprise. The numbers before her were a revelation, and she couldn’t help but gasp.

A rush of realization washed over her: without her achievements and titles from the system, Duke would still outshine her in terms of strength and ability. This thought stirred a mix of admiration and competitive spirit within her.

While she had always viewed him as an equal, the sheer magnitude of his potential left her both inspired and slightly intimidated.

The memories of their friendly competitions in their past life flickered in her mind, reigniting the familiar spark of rivalry. She couldn’t shake the feeling that, even as a couple, their drive to push each other to new heights remained.

Determined to close the gap, Kisha resolved to train harder, knowing that their bond would only grow stronger through their shared journey of growth and discovery.

Yet, amidst her surprise and competitive spirit, Kisha momentarily overlooked the fact that she was still stronger than Duke at that moment.

However, she knew this advantage might be fleeting. As she considered his potential for growth, a sense of urgency crept in.

Duke’s ability to grow stronger and harness his strength was extraordinary, far surpassing her own in many ways.

Even now, she could sense the vast well of untapped energy within him, the kind that promised exponential growth with each new level he attained.

This realization brought forth a mix of pride and apprehension. In her past life, Kisha had felt the weight of that same struggle—an uphill battle to catch up to Duke, to match his strength and skill, no matter how hard she trained or how many obstacles she overcame.
