![]() ![]() He was going to do everything and anything to his heart's satisfaction. Especially now that he had the ability to return back to the past if he died? Oh-ho ho. Climbing slowly was for the unadventurous, and he had a mean streak of being too adventurous for his own good. He climbed up the tree with all the agility he could muster. And the right tools, in this case, were branches. Maybe he wouldn’t even be able to dig the ground. Without the right tools, he wouldn't be able to make the traps he needed to kill a slime, let alone five. ![]() Thick ones, thin ones, and everything in between. But even before that, he needed branches. He had to explore the ground and potentially get some slimes killed with a trap from the ground. "Sometimes you've gotta do what you've gotta do." "Sure, it'd be awfully boring to die over and over again due to thunder, but it is what it is," he said with a shrug. He rubbed his chin thoughtfully, mulling over the possibilities. "So that definitely does leave me a route to him, even if all of the other routes failed." "Ah, so it's a loophole," he said, nodding his head. The text emoji gif next to the words was of a cute little cat shaking its head. That'd be against providence! The attributes are more of a… loophole. Finally, the text shifted and the system responded, The system remained silent for a few moments, causing Achylys to fidget on the ground in an attempt to get up. "Could my attributes, like thunder resistance, remain despite the time reversal?" However, he still turned to the system for an answer, his eyes glinting with curiosity. It couldn’t be possible that his attributes could carry over to the past when Experience did not, after all. Since in the end, that was a suicide run too, unless he had thunder resistance. Experience gained.īut… that was more food for thought. If he were to climb on top of those treetops before somehow making the slime aware he was there, the slime would definitely pop up there, wouldn't it? And then, if he peeked out of the leaves just in time-bang. However, just when he was about to settle for digging, he remembered the tree tops. He preferred being a clever puzzle solver over a brute forcer. He wanted to keep suicide runs only for times when he could see no other choice. If he could find a weakness in the slime's defenses, he could exploit it to defeat the creature repeatedly and easily in the future.Īchylys wasn’t against the second idea, but the first idea did appeal to him. The thought of dying repeatedly was not a pleasant one, but the potential rewards were great. On the other hand, getting information about the slime was a daunting task that would likely require him to face the creature head-on multiple times. And this forest stroked the deepest parts of his researcher heart. He’d always wanted to be a researcher, but the Department began fucking him deep in the ass, sending him on one high profile, impossible-to-complete task after another, before he could even try his hand. Tunneling through the dirt, uncovering secrets buried deep beneath the forest floor along the way sounded fun, after all. Digging through the ground sounded like a tedious and time-consuming task, but the prospect of exploring the depths of the earth filled him with a sense of excitement and adventure. Well, breaking his own spine, that was.Īchylys weighed his options carefully, scratching his chin. Even for him, breaking spines wasn’t a fun experience. A time reversal would be but a matter of time at that point, eliminating the Experience he might get by being able to kill the slime that way. He'd definitely break his arms and knees, with how high the trees were. The sound of bones snapping echoed in his mind. He pictured himself hurtling towards the ground, his limbs flailing wildly as he fell. The consequences of such an action could be catastrophic. He had seriously been considering jumping down and attempting to stab the slime, but it would be a fool's errand. This means that if you were to reverse time, your Experience would also be reset.Īchylys bit down on his lower lip. Naturally, anything that you have earned up to that point will reset to their previous state. ![]()
