20 Tables Turned (2)

A few minutes earlier...

[Physical analysis complete! The user's body is deemed to be: Useless.]

[Initiating alteration protocol. The user's body would be enhanced to become useful.]

[Caution! The process would be extremely painful.]

"Argh!!!" Zok screamed in agony as soon as those words appeared in front of him.

Slowly, Zok finally got some control over his body as numerous texts kept flashing in front of his eyes. But he was in too much pain to give a fck about what was in front of him. He might have chosen to live, but the choice didn't seem like a good one to him anymore.

The pain he was suffering now was way worse than what he felt when Taheton had pushed the dagger right through his heart. But he tolerated it all. If he was being given a chance to exact his revenge on the Shamans and that basta*d Taheton, he would gladly accept pain a thousand times worse than what he was going through now.

What seemed like hours passed in seconds. The pain slowly subsided and Zaen opened his eyes to be greeted by a thing called, 'Status Tab'. On it was a picture of him. Under which, his name was written along with various words and numbers that made no sense to him.

[The User will be assigned a class according to their stats... please wait patiently...]

Zok had no idea what was going on but the pain had finally subsided. However, the weirdest thing was that he could breathe, even though he was deep inside the pool of acid. He tried swimming back to the ground but for some reason, he couldn't move. It was as if the pool was forcing him to stay inside.

[Error! The user can be assigned, two classes. Sending a request to Administrator to resolve the issue.]

"What?"

'What the hell is this thing?'

Zok wanted to touch the glowing thing in front of him. But his hands slipped right through it as if the screen was one with the acid around him. The next thing he knew, he was flung out of the pool with his spear in his hands. Just like him, the spear had changed as well, it had gained permanent acid effects.

But that wasn't all... as soon as Zok was out of the pool, it disappeared as if it never existed there in the first place. However, he wasn't paying attention to the pool. Because Kaira was being swarmed by the arachnids right in front of his eyes and it didn't look like she would have been able to last long.

"Like hell, I'm leaving Kaira behind. She didn't abandon me and neither will I." Zok mumbled before swinging his spear once again, killing a handful of spiderlings.

[You have slain a level 5 Abyssal Spiderling. Strength +0.50. Exp +15]

[You have slain a level 6 Abyssal Spiderling. Stamina +0.75. Exp +25]

[You have slain a level 4 Abyssal Spiderling. Defence +0.25. Exp +5]

These words flashed in front of him whenever he killed a spiderling. As annoying as the floating texts were to him, he didn't have the time to focus on them. Instead, he needed to figure out a way to get out of there with Kaira. As the situation was, it looked like he had only one option to get out of there alive, and that was to kill each and every one of those filthy beasts.

However, as he kept on killing the spiderlings, he realised that killing them was getting easier. With every swing, he was killing more and more spiderlings. Not only that, he wasn't feeling tired at all. in fact, the more spiderlings he killed, the more energetic he felt. It was rare, but even if one of the spiders managed to bite him, it didn't hurt him that much. It felt more like a pinch than a serious wound.

[You have levelled up! 2 unallocated Stat points awarded!]

After a few minutes, it finally clicked him. Those sentences in front of him weren't useless distractions as those were actually showing him his increase in power.

"I can do this! I can defeat them all with a little bit of luck. Jus-Just hold on a bit Kaira! I promise I'll get you out of here alive!"
