“I’m glad I save you before you could die from your suicide attempt. There’s no need to worry; I’ve given you a second chance in life.” The last thing that a boy named Claudia remembered was jumping off a bridge to end his own life, but now he’s woken up in the world of Serial Slain, his favorite MMORPG. For years, he had been playing the video game, eventually reaching the top five of the North American leaderboards. He had no real-life friends and seldom spoke to his family, so Serial Slain was his only solace in life. But one day, he loses his only in-game friend, he gets betrayed during a dungeon raid, and he loses all his progress, including every level and item. With no other purpose in life, Claudia committed suicide. His attempt was a failure, and it rendered him paralyzed and cognitively deficient. Luckily, a woman named Virgil gave him the chance of a lifetime by hooking up his brain to a fully immersive VRMMORPG, Serial Slain 2.0—a new update to the original game. Now, as a Tester of the new VRMMORPG, Claudia must defeat the final boss or risk returning to the reality that he hated. Just when he thought he was living his ideal reality, he soon realizes that even the video game world has its fair share of sorrow and suffering. . .

Chapter 81: Everything Has Been Figured Out, Except How to Live

I got up from the ground, dazed from the impact of Blemish's triple Time Acceleration assault. My health was at sixty-five percent.

Blemish pounded his fists together and said, "I'll show you the power of the Tygjhiac Tribe!"

As my opponent charged forward, I used Angel's Touch, restoring my HP to ninety-five percent and gaining a speed boost.

I quickly evaded Blemish's punch and dashed to the side. Then, I summoned a warlock arm, grabbing my enemy's leg, picking him up, and throwing him to the ground.

My armor had the skill Arcane Assault, which increased my attack by fifteen percent for three seconds after using a spell, but my throw barely even hurt the giant.

"Time Acceleration!" Blemish said.

Fortunately, I was prepared.

"Steel Skin!"

I braced myself for impact.

But I didn't get hit.

Instead, Blemish remained where he was, breathing raggedly.
