As the death notificati through my head, I barely move. I had several broken bones and was lying in a pool of my own blood.
An awakened body heals a little more quickly than the average person, but evehese injuries will take a few days to fully heal.
But there is something that help with that.
Potions.
Healing potions work on injuries as well as rest hp.
And luckily, I make them with my absolute creation. I nning on making a bund stockpiling them for just this occasion, but with everything that was going on, I hadn't dohat yet.
Fully regretting horrible decisions I made in the past, I check my mp, only to remember that I was almost pletely out of mp.
MP:607/7,330
I could currently only make a potion that healed 500 hp, and needed a lot more than that.
Deg to wait the whole recharge time, I tio lie in my blood.
?
Around an hour ter, I was sitting in the same spot, drinking a masterwork health potion.
Masterwork Health Potion - MP:5000 - EXP 500 - +15000 HP
This was the best health potion I could make currently, and almost pletely healed my body. I could still feel pain through my body, but my bones were all no longer broken as far as I could tell, I was no longer bleeding horribly.
I was still covered in blood, both mine and the angels.
“Ok, let's check this out” I say out loud while cheg the other messages I got from killing the angel.
Y?o?u? ?H?a?v?e? ?A?c?h?i?e?v?e?d? ?a??r?a?o?r?d?i?n?a?r?y? ?P?r?e?c?e?d?e?n?t? ?w?i?t?h?i?n? ?t?h?e? ?t?r?i?a?l? ?o?f? ?e?n?d?i?n?g?

?Y?o?u? ?h?a?v?e? ?a?c?h?i?e?v?e?d? ?a? ?s?e?c?r?e?t? ?e?n?d?i?n?g?
Reading the message was nearly impossible. I had no clue what was going on.
Then the reage appeared.
Secret Reward - Hidden Message
Secret Reward - Title - Genesis End
Secret Reward - Intrinsic Skill - Apotheosis 1
Then a seessage appears
You have fihe trial of ending
A reward will be given
Reward - 1x Skill book(on Enha)
“What the hell” I say to myself, looking at both of the challenge quest rewards.
Then a third message appears.
Dungeo - Novices Mastery Dungeon
plete each sub-quest to move to the floor
Floor 5/5 plete
pleted
Reward - Skill - Exp Cost Redu Lv.1
Reward - Title - Novice Master
“Ok, so that is the dungeo reward.
Only to have a fourth message appear
You have achieved a extraordinary Pret within the Novices Mastery Dungeon
You Fihe hidden trial on every floor.
You pleted the trial of e?n?d?i?n?g?
You have achieved a secret ending
Secret Reward - 1x Angelic Scythe
I look over them in order, but I e to a full stop at the very first reward. Absolutely no clue what A hidden message might be, but the s for it keeps pulsing, like I o i with it for something to happen.
But before I deal with that, I look at the rest of the rewards.
The skills I knew, like on enha, were quite strong. It was the base aura skill, for enhang the strength of physical attacks. When maxed, it lead into a bunch of different sub-skills. The other skill I knew was the EXP cost redu. At its base level, it lowered the exp o level up by 1%, but that increased by 1 with every level. Maxing at 99% means it is much faster to level up, especially ter levels.
Then there were the titles I received. A title gives a small boost or effect, kind of like skills, but usually they are much stronger. In exge, they are very hard to receive.
And I was given 2 from this.
I would have to check what they both do, but the novice master one seems good, but Genesis End seems like it might be super powerful.
Then there was the angelic scythe. Both simultaneously the coolest, and worst thing I got. It was the scythe the angel had been using during the first two parts of the fight, but because of absolute creation, it was pletely worthless to me.
And then there was the st skill.
I had never heard of anyone having a sed intrinsic skill, and normally they were only obtained when first awakening.
But, now I have another one.
And it sounds like it's going to be a big deal.
Choosing to now move on to the hidden message, I stare at the menu for a sed.
Resolving myself, I press the button.
?
I find myself in a mysterious room. It's like an office or something, with papers and other things thrown around the pce. On the desk in the office, there was a single man sitting there.
He was wearing a cloak simir to the ones I make with absolute creation. Looking around the room, I see a number of ons, or books in a nguage I ’t.
It kind of feels remi of the library in the hidden dungeon.
“Well, I think this should be w correctly,” the person at the desk said.
“Hello, whoever you are, and wele to my domain. If you are one of the 7, then wele back” they said. “But, if you are one of the seven, then you wouldn’t remember… Shit, maybe I should start over”
They seemed to be nervous about doing this.
“Um, hi?” I said to them, but they didn’t respond.
‘Well, it was hard to make this, and I have a few more I am going to have to make, so ries” they said. “Well, I should start with the expnation of what you are seeing”
“This is a prerecorded message for anyone who is able to kill my advent of genesis. Now, I am not sure how you came across it, but well done heless. With that, you have obtaihe first step necessary to being a g???o???d???”
The st word they said was heavily distorted, so I couldn’t uand them, but I now uood why I got no response when I said hi.
“This is going to be necessary if you wish to stop what is going to be ing for your world. You see, your world is just the test in a long line of worlds created aroyed in a never ending cycle.”
This seemed iing, but the hing he said was extremely disappointing.
“BUt, the full expnation will e ter. For now, you o gain much more power. I’m not sure how, but look for more hidden dungeons. That should be good enough” they said.
And suddenly the message ends
?
As the message ends, I wake up ba the white room where I fought the angel. And now, I could see something glowing in the middle of the circle of ns where the fight started.
Walking over to it, I find the same teleportation circle I normally found after killing bosses in dungeons.
Thinking that this must be the way out, I walk over and step into the circle.
With a fsh of light, I find myself ihe entrao the slime cave.
And I finally step bato the real world.
Right oher side, I find my family waiting.
But before I could say anything, the time and what I was doing caught up with me.
The three hours straight of fighting. The use of my magic for the sed puzzle. The time I spent reading all of those books. The amount of times I fell during the parkour course.
And the damage I took during the angel fight.
And I colpse right when I leave the dungeon.
