I was stunned for a moment when the skeleton spoke to me.
Damn, is this real, or am I hallucinating? I know this cursed world is strange, but a talking skeleton?
It's hard to grasp with the mentality of someone from Earth.
Haha, it doesn't matter; it seems this thing is calling me king.
It looks like it knows a lot—getting valuable information would be good. Judging by everything that's happened so far, I seem utterly clueless in this world.
Of course, I tried talking to the system, but it says I haven't reached the required level. Damn it, let's give it a try. But before I could even ask, it seems Akrus noticed something.
He raised his head, towering over me, and the skeleton began to crack. Damn, what's happening? Is he going to disappear or something? Damn, I didn't even get anything out of this cursed thing yet—
“I... have been dormant for a very long time. Let’s try circulating some energy…”
Suddenly, the entire domain started shaking. The skeleton gradually turned crimson, as if it had been soaked in a lot of blood.
Ding!
“Initiating Akrus' regeneration process.”
“Process failed. The host has not yet obtained the necessary power.”
“Process failed.”
What is this? Are we back to this point again? Damn it, I feel like I haven’t achieved anything.
Even though I’ve broken through two realms at a faster pace than other trainees, it seems like it’s still nothing to the system.
“It appears His Majesty is not yet a true trainee… Sigh, nothing can be done about it. I suppose I’ll wait a bit longer.”
