Anything that does not kill me makes me stronger.

I was an orphan. I didn’t know why, though. "Surely, my parents must’ve left as soon as I was born,"

Thankfully, the orphanage I grew up in supported me through my school years. After that, I was on my own. It wasn’t an ideal life, but it wasn’t terrible either. I had my own ways to cope. When someone bullied me at school, I had novels. When they made fun of me, I had mangas. What could a scrawny, malnourished boy like me even do?

When I grew up, I got a simple job, living the life of an ordinary background character.

Then, some damn robber decided to shoot me. Funny enough, I couldn’t be more thankful to him.

Somehow, I reincarnated into a modern fantasy world. As someone who had read plenty of novels, I was sure I’d awaken a powerful skill, so I used the awakening stone. Soon, I realized I wasn’t the only overpowered person—there were others like me as well.

While I hunted monsters, made good connections, and conquered dungeons, the "Tower of Trials" suddenly manifested, bringing about the second apocalypse.

Infinite Adaptation in the Apocalypse

As soon as he disappeared, I knew my skill, [Internal Recoil], had hit him pretty hard.

However, this left me uncertain—would he return, now that he knew I had a way to counter his teleportation?

Unsure of his next move, I decided to wait. Regaining my focused state, I expanded my senses, attuning myself to the surroundings. That's when I noticed something strange, the spikes of mana had suddenly vanished.

The tension in the atmosphere had dissipated, as if a heavy weight had been lifted from this sector.

Just as I registered this shift, my phone buzzed in my pocket. Taking it out quickly, I saw Mr.T'Zaero was calling.

His incoming call confirmed my suspicions, there was only one reason he'd call now. The enemy had fled.

"Please come to the remaining Association building," Mr.T'Zaero said in a grim voice.

Before I could respond, the call ended.
