I opened my eyes to find myself inside that same coffin, surrounded by a green liquid that felt like acid slowly eating away at my skin. I couldn't move as swiftly as I used to. My body was numb, and it frustrated me, but there was nothing I could do.
Using all my strength, I slowly lifted my foot and kicked the lid above me, again and again.
With each passing moment, my body weakened. What was going on with this simulation? It was literally draining my strength!
Why would the academy do something like this? Sacrificing the students' physical strength in exchange for experience? It seemed absurd…
In real-time, I had only spent ten days in the simulation, and I was already feeling these effects. What would happen to those who had been in longer?
And why was the coffin this tough?
I kicked it for the tenth time, and finally, I managed to create a small hole, enough to peek through. I noticed I was in a dark room.
