"I'm so fucked."
Corey could not help but curse in a low voice after observing the results of his actions.
In a few words, Corey was just a step away from meeting King Yama.
Without a doubt, Corey should be dead. But luckily for him, there were several reasons why he survived.
First of all, Corey's attempt to store the finger of a being much more powerful than him was beyond stupid, and any knowledgeable being like Divine heard of Corey's actions. They would either mock him for his stupidity or tell King Yama to at least give Corey a 'cool' place in hell.
Although Corey did not know that his actions would damage his body to such a degree, he would still have done it again, even if he knew of the consequences.
The main reason for Corey's reckless actions was his strength. In the words of the Universal System, Corey had reached the peak of tier 1 and had already maxed out his stats.
