It wasn’t long before Hals realized he had dismantled the dark room. As for the ice sculptures inside? They were now just fragments on the ground, their lives lost. Frozen in the dark room with no light, the ice sculptures had barely melted, and the blood inside the animals had frozen. Now they were shattered pieces, accidentally broken by Hals in his frenzy.
“Huff—”
Hals examined his body, finding nothing wrong, though his mouth tasted salty.
Touching his lips, he found blood.
Following the trail upward, he discovered a nosebleed.
That [Healing Elixir] should help.
Hals figured his soul wasn’t strong enough yet. Accepting such magical information had overwhelmed his brain, causing the nosebleed.
He decided to wait until his soul reached 20 before attempting again.
Hals checked his attribute panel.
Body: 16
Soul: 15
Blood: Magic Dragon (can master all magic) [Dragon’s Meditation Technique · Basic] [Dragon’s Body Refinement Technique · Basic]
Negative Emotion Points: 6,730
Magic: Water Element Level 1+ (0/10)
Curious about the “+,” Hals touched it.
Suddenly, he felt dizzy and saw his attribute panel change.
Body: 16
Soul: 14
Blood: Magic Dragon (can master all magic) [Dragon’s Meditation Technique · Basic] [Dragon’s Body Refinement Technique · Basic]
Negative Emotion Points: 6,790
Magic: Water Element Level 1+ (1/10)
It consumed his soul’s power.
What a scam.
He had thought buying it was enough, enduring the headache, only to find out it also required consuming his soul’s power to learn.
How tough.
Ah, what a scam, system merchant.
System: “…”
What did I do now? I’m not taking the blame for this.
He still couldn’t use water magic even consuming his soul’s power to learn it.
He could only unleash dragon breath in dragon or half-dragon form.
His dragon breath had only elemental, not special, attributes, at least for now.
Frustrated, Hals blasted the fragments with water dragon breath.
A high-pressure water jet sprayed for a minute then stopped.
Hals sat on the ground, feeling dejected, like a thousand-pound child.
“Ah—”
He scared off more birds and beasts.
At the same time…
“Negative Emotion from Boar +90”
“Negative Emotion from Snake +90”
“Negative Emotion from Gorilla King +90”
“Negative Emotion from Boar +90”
“Negative Emotion from Boar +90”
“Negative Emotion from Boar +90”
…
What happened to the boar?
Hals didn’t understand.
…
The boar was fighting the gorilla king.
Hmmph.
This is for competing with me for territory, for hitting me, for climbing my tree, and for jumping down and scaring me.
The boar attacked the gorilla king with its claws.
But the gorilla king couldn’t fight back.
After being struck in a vulnerable spot, the gorilla king lost most of its health bar and the will to fight, staring blankly at its injured area.
Tears welled up in the gorilla king’s eyes.
Has life finally come after me, the poor gorilla king?
It’s so tough.
The boar, however, was delighted.
Ora ora ora ora.
Muda muda muda muda.
The boar unleashed a barrage of attacks on the gorilla king.
After a while, the boar took a break.
The boar stepped back, and took a deep breath.
Taste my special move.
Rubber Rubber—Tiger Pounce.
The boar lunged at the gorilla king, claws glinting.
Die, gorilla king.
Though strong, you lost your fighting spirit over this. You don’t deserve to be my opponent.
You’re not worthy.
I am the true king of this island.
Hahaha.
Suddenly, a roar echoed.
The boar was startled mid-air.
The gorilla king, however, was enraged.
That roar had made him fall from the tree, leading to his current plight.
Now he could never be the island’s true king.
Would he become the king of drag queens?
Tears welled in the gorilla king’s eyes.
Goodbye, my beloved gorilla number one, number two, three, four, five, six… number 180.
Though…
The king bears the burden, the king allows, and the king shoulders the world.
But…
Your king, who has endured undeserved pain, can no longer permit, can no longer bear the survival of the gorilla tribe on this island.
I am unworthy…
The gorilla king punched upward as if railing against the world’s cruelty and injustice, resolved to fight the darkness to the end.
If the heavens want to destroy me, I will destroy the heavens.
Countless trials, endless hardships, fleeting time. An immortal body, an indestructible soul, shaking the ancient and modern, invincible! When the time comes to reverse yin and yang, I will dye the heavens with my blood!
I, the gorilla king, will not lose.
However, the punch hit something.
A familiar “crack” echoed in the gorilla king’s ears.
Listen, that’s the sound of breaking eggs.
…
Hals didn’t dwell on it.
He was feeling overwhelmed.
Gathering some dry wood, he lit a signal fire.
It might attract merchant ships or the navy.
Even pirates wouldn’t matter.
Hals, I am not happy and need to vent.
Hals put on his clothes.
He had damaged his clothes during his outburst.
Sitting by the signal fire, Hals wondered what would come.
In many fanfics, the protagonist starts on a deserted island, encounters a passing navy ship, and becomes a navy officer.
Some rob pirates.
Hals thought the Navy Six Styles were powerful and practical, and worth learning.
And Life Return.
He wanted to learn it all.
Time passed, and Hals lost track. The sky grew dim.
No pirate ships, no merchant ships.
Only a massive navy ship approached.
But the ship’s bow bore a large dog head.
“Eh—this dog head, could it be… that person?”
