Back to the ancient world

Back to the ancient world.

"Oh, The ranking has not been updated yet, it will probably be by tomorrow though, so you will need to drop your contact details and your social media account. I don't know what they want to do with it though, and the social media account is optional". Lily said. "Well, that's if you can see the ranking ceremony since you're messed up now", She said with some pain in her voice and tried to cover with a chuckle, which she failed terribly at. Guess she's blaming herself for my current state, and even though she did not say it, my current state should be something that's rarely seen and should be difficult to recover from, and if I do recover, how many years would it take? How many years will I waste just to recover when I've been far surpassed by my pairs.

Getting out of my thoughts for a while, I look at the white room and white bed I was laying on and did not see lily. Looks like she went out when I was deep in thought.

Though it might look, seems, and already a dead end, I was not flustered, scared, or panicked. I don't know if my current state will truly be a dead end until I enter the Ancient world. Reaching this part in my thoughts, I checked my status before activating my title.

TITLE: 10TH Ancient king,

'Oh, am two levels up and already at the peak of evolved mortal', I thought calmly. If it was before and I saw this rate of improvement, I'll surely be jumping for joy, but now, I can't even move my hand to touch my face. It's like, my whole body is dead.

'Ah'. I sighed softly and activated my title.

..........

"HEAVENS"!!!! I screamed in pain as my body made contact with the floor.

Even in spirit form, my body was damaged beyond recognition. It was not the 'Damage' lily said I expected, it was much worse.

Struggling to keep the pain in and not shout, I checked my status, by saying 'Status' in my mind to check my inventory if I have anything that can help me from this pain, even if it was for a short while.

After a while of intense searching, I was close to giving up until I saw a potion glass, with a purplish red liquid inside.

I remember taking this from the martial hall storage room. I don't know the use but still took it because something was attracting me to it.

Since am truly at a dead end, I had thoughts of taking this potion but hesitated because even though I don't know its use, I know that it's a treasure for sure. But on second thought, what's the use of keeping it if I don't know when I'll be able to use it in this if am even able to use it and don't die before then since my lifespan has been reduced.

At the end of the struggle, I still took it. I don't think I'll be able to forgive myself and waste my years, letting my peers surpass me because I was scared of taking a precious potion.

Concluding, I brought the potion out of the inventory and made it hover mid-air with mana. Even if I can't move my body, I can still control mana. So making the potion float in the air is a simple thing for me to do.

Having done that, I brought the potion close to my mouth, and remove the cover with mana under my control. After it was opened, I immediately poured it inside my mouth.

As the potion made its way down my throat, I felt a refreshing feeling coming with it, but that's all I felt. Thinking I took the potion in the wrong way, regret washed over my whole being like a tidal wave. Was about to sigh when I started to feel my body heat up. "What's happening?" I asked. of course, no one would answer me since am the only one here.

After a few seconds of my body still heating up that it felt like I was being cooked from inside out, my flesh began to peel, as black blood started pouring out of my body, followed by a sound in my head.

[Level ??? Purification Potion is taking effect],

Damn, What the fuck? What precious medicine have I wasted?

Even though I said I would not regret it, my heart still broke and was bleeding. Damn. Even if I can't see the level, even a fool would understand that the potion I just drank should be Level 100 or even above if there is a level above that, but still.

With a sigh that reeked of regrets I put my hands on my head and pulled my hair in frustration. 'Damn this stupid body, I can't even put my hands on my head now, was what I was about to say till I feel a sticky sensation on my head. Seeing my hand stained with sticky black blood in front of me, I started smiling foolishly before laughing out. I wanted to move my body that I was now able to feel and even move a little, till I felt intense pain, and in the next second passed out.

..........

"Big brother" "Big brother" "Big brother". I heard the voices of my siblings calling me, but why was I able to hear their voices. Am I still in the ancient world? With a suspicious look plastered on my face, I open my eyes and saw my siblings in a room full of advanced medical technology. Confirming am back in the real world and not in the ancient world, I turned my focus back to my siblings. With one hand on their nose, pinching it, and looking at me with a disgusted look on their face, they told in a blunt and heartbreaking way" "Brother, you stink", and as if saying more will kill them they went further away from me. With my face void of color, I looked at my body and saw the same black blood I saw in the ancient world. And heavens, true, I reeked so badly I wanted to vomit. In a hurry, I went to the bathroom to bathe and change my clothes.

..........

After bathing for a long period to get rid of this 'taint' on my body, I made my way to the mirror in the bathroom while thinking of why I woke up in the real world and not in the ancient world. The only conclusion I was able to come up with was that after passing out, I slept for more than 5 months before I was sent out of the ancient world and my siblings woke me up here in the real world. "Ah", with a sigh, I stopped thinking about complicated stuff and looked at myself in the reflection and said: "Yo handsome. Even though I slept for three days and couldn't see you, I can't believe you grew more handsome. Well, as expected of me". After admiring myself for a few minutes, I stopped and changed my clothes and stepped out of the bathroom.

'Well then, why don't I go out and confirm my rank".
