Misty World: Start with SSS skill

Hikaru continued to check the System inventory. After the battle just now and adding the Soul Points he had just received after digging up the coffin was over 10,000 Soul Points.

10,000 Soul Points for Hikaru was a huge number. However, after using the M.E skill on Vuni, he felt that no matter how many Soul Points he had, it was not enough.

[Ding! To promote Vuni requires paying 10,000 Soul Points.]

"10,000 Soul Points for a level?" Hikaru felt that the price was too absurd.

[Master, I don't think 10,000 Soul Points for a level is high. With just 10,000 Soul Points, Vuni can add 1,000 points to Agility, Strength, and 2,000 points to Intelligence.]

Listening to Rika's explanation, Hikaru felt that 10,000 Soul Points per level was reasonable. But, Hikaru didn't have that many Soul Points, and he only had 10,000.

[However, there is another way.]

"What way?" Hikaru asked excitedly.

[The Dungeon will not start if the number of players entering the Dungeon is insufficient. During this time, you can dig more graves and find more Crystallized Souls.]

Hikaru nodded, agreeing with Rika's opinion.

"Ack!"

The pain coming from the amputated arm made Hikaru cry out. Hikaru remembered that his wounds also needed to be treated. However, if he leveled up, the amputated arm would never regrow.

[Master! If you find a card called "Regenerative", you can solve this problem. The "Regenerative" card is challenging but not impossible to find.]

Hikaru sighed. Among the thousands of graves here, to find the "Regenerative" card, I don't know how much time it would take while time was running out. Hikaru didn't know when 1,000 players would enter the Dungeon, but he knew it wouldn't take long.

Hikaru suddenly asked Rika: "Will all the players appear here?"

Hikaru's voice was filled with worry because he was afraid that if he met another player, he would be unable to defend himself in his current state.

[Master, don't worry because you're alone in this Dungeon.]

"Huh? Why?"

[Because this Dungeon has the highest difficulty - Hell. No player would foolishly choose this difficulty, so there is only Master in the Dungeon.]

"Hell difficulty?" Hikaru suddenly recalled that when he touched the Dungeon Gate, he didn't even look at the difficulty but confirmed it immediately. However, the situation at that time was hazardous. If Hikaru did not act quickly, he feared Sherwin would catch him.

Hikaru let out a sad sigh. He didn't know how difficult a Hell-level Dungeon was, but it certainly wouldn't be easy.

Suddenly, Saraya woke up. She opened her eyes, looked at Hikaru, and then back at her body. Saraya suddenly cried. She cried like a baby.

Unlike before, Saraya didn't rush at Hikaru or hug him but just cried. Hikaru didn't comfort Saraya either because he knew why Saraya was crying.

[Master, won't you comfort Saraya?]

Hikaru sighed, using his thoughts to talk to Rika: "Saraya is crying for two reasons. One reason was that she and I were still alive, so she cried with joy. The second reason is that Saraya feels she is useless."

[So… you let her cry like that?]

Hikaru replied, "Ignore her. If I comfort Saraya, she will cry even more. Let her become stronger, more mature. This world is very harsh. How will Saraya mature if I comfort her all the time? Let her feel her worthlessness. Then she will rise on her own and try to get stronger."

Hikaru smiled and continued: "Rika, have you ever heard this sentence?"

[What sentence?]

"Heaven only makes rabbits and deers. Hell is the place where demons are created."

"Difficulty and pain will help us grow faster."

[...]

Rika was silent because she agreed with Hikaru's way of thinking.

As Hikaru expected, Saraya cried for a while and then stopped. Hikaru could see that Saraya's eyes were filled with determination and firmness. Hikaru also smiled, satisfied after seeing that.

"Master!" Saraya said: "Now, what do you need me to do? Give me an order!"

Hikaru nodded. He did not hesitate to order: "Digging graves!"

"Digging graves?" Saraya was puzzled and asked once again.

Hikaru replied: "That's right! These graves belonged to the players who died. They have a Crystallized Soul in their coffin. Try to find as many Crystallized Souls as possible, then bring it to me."

Saraya didn't ask any more questions. She replied: "Yes! Master!"

After that, Saraya focused on digging graves. Currently, Saraya is a SR monster, so she can use Mana to make her job easier.

Just as Hikaru thought, Saraya stood in front of a grave and closed her eyes for about 5 seconds, then fired a bolt of lightning into the grave. then, the tomb exploded to reveal a gaping hole. The hole was as deep as the coffin below, so Saraya could easily search inside the coffin without spending time digging the grave.

Saraya worked so hard that in just 30 minutes, Saraya had dug more than 20 graves.

[Ding! The number of players entering the Dungeon has reached 1,000, and the Dungeon is about to start in 15 minutes. Players, please prepare.]

Suddenly, at this moment, a message from the System appeared. Hikaru shouted, "Saraya, that's enough!"

Saraya,turned around and came to give the 23 Crystallized Souls to Hikaru. Hikaru hesitated a bit. He asked Rika: "Rika, can I use "12-sided Dice" to multiply the items in a Crystallized Soul?

[Can not! Items in Crystallized Soul cannot be changed. The "Twelve-sided Dice" can only be used for unspecified items such as Treasure Chests.]

Hikaru was a little disappointed. If he could use the "12-sided Dice" for the Crystallized Soul, he would possess a lot of resources. Hikaru shrugged and crushed the Crystallized Souls.

[Ding! You receive…]

[Ding! You receive…]

[Ding! You receive…]

[Ding! The space of the System inventory is full. Items that cannot be placed in the System inventory will last for 24 hours. If you don't use them, then disappear automatically.]

Many notifications popped up. However, Hikaru didn't have time to look at each one. Hikaru opened his System inventory, checking the number of Soul Points and Stones in his possession. However, Hikaru's purpose was the "Regenerative" card.

Hikaru saw the "Regenerative" card inside the System inventory, his face showing a satisfied smile. However, when Hikaru was about to use the "Regenerative" card, Rika's voice popped up in his head.

[Wait, Master!]

Hikaru confusedly asked Rika: "What's wrong?"

[Before using the "Regenerative" card, you should use the M.E skill on it, it will be better.]

Hikaru nodded, then used the M.E skill on the "Regenerative" card to follow Rika's advice.

[Ding! To evolve the "Regenerative" card, you must pay 1,000 Soul Points. Do you agree or not?]

Hikaru, of course, agreed. After using the Crystallized Souls, Hikaru had acquired over 140,000 Soul Points.

[Ding! Successful payment. The "Regenerative" card has evolved into the "Reborn" card.]

…

Name: Reborn

Type: Support

Description: The Reborn card will help the user to regenerate again. All stats will be refreshed, and new Talents and Skills will be acquired (Talent will remain the same). The new Talent and Skill will definitely have a rarity of SR or higher.

…

After reading the description, Hikaru asked Rika: "Does the Reborn process take a long time?"

[No! Just a few minutes.]

Hikaru nodded. He used the "Reborn" card without hesitation. At that moment, a cocoon enveloped Hikaru, turning him into a giant pupa.

Saraya saw this scene and rushed over. However, before she could rush in, she was detained. The one holding her back was none other than Vuni.

Vuni rubbed her eyes as if she had just woken up and said to Saraya: "Master is undergoing Rebirth. You don't have to worry."

"Oops!" Vuni yawned, then looked around. She was not surprised at all.

Saraya looked at Vuni with a bit of envy and admiration. Vuni felt Saraya's gaze and smiled at Saraya: "No need to be jealous. In the future, you will be as strong as me. No, you will be stronger than me."

Saraya heard Vuni and was not happy but just bowed her head. Saraya replied in a bored voice: "No need to comfort me. I know I can't become someone like you."

Vuni smiled and shook her head. She said: "Saraya, don't be so pessimistic. In your body, you have the blood of the Fallen Angel. Besides,Master is the best person in the world, so your future will be glorious."

At the mention of her master, Saraya's eyes turned red again. Tears welled up in her eyes. Saraya turned her face away so that Vuni wouldn't see her crying.

Saraya replied: "I know! I will be stronger."

Vuni smiled and nodded. She stretched and said to Saraya: "Let's continue digging graves. We need to find Crystallized Souls for Master as much as possible."

"Okay… wait! How do you know Master needs that?" Saraya responds.

Vuni tilted her head to Saraya: "I know many other things. However, I can't tell you right now. Of course, I will be completely loyal to Master. My soul and body belong to Master, so there will be no chance of me betraying him."

Saraya both doubted and believed, not understanding what Vuni meant. After that, Vuni and Saraya continued to dig graves.

At this moment, Hikaru was lying in the cocoon, feeling extremely comfortable. He felt like his body was surrounded by the softest things. Hikaru also felt the changes in his body. 𝐟𝓇ℯ𝒆we𝒃𝘯𝒐νe𝑙.co𝚖

Suddenly, Hikaru's consciousness was pulled into a white space. He saw a figure standing in the distance with his back to him. Hikaru didn't understand why he couldn't see that person. It was like there was mist surrounding that person.

Suddenly, that person turned around.

"Huh?"

"BOOM!"

Before Hikaru could understand what was going on, his consciousness was shattered, sinking into the darkness. Not only His consciousness but his entire body was also exploding into a pool of blood, his whole body turning into a paste of blood and flesh.
