Lust System in the Murim World-Chapter 90 Unwanted Battle

(Note- First Person POV)

Day 1,

'I don't know why they brought me here but it seems like they didn't want to kill me directly. After I decided that I will continue to live, I felt extremely hungry.'

'So, I grabbed the scorpion that I crushed unknowingly and ate it. It wasn't my first time eating raw meat but it was definitely disgusting to eat a scorpion. I also realized that I was once again in a fire when I eat it.'

'The fire was so strong that it was almost killing me. But, I held on. I didn't give up and after hours of struggle, I managed to survive. I knew I had digested poison.'

'But, I was surprised that I was capable enough to do so. After all, if that poison wasn't mild but strong, it could've killed me. Except for that, nothing noticeable happened.'

Day 2,

'It is still dark here. I am not even sure where I am moving on. But, I try to explore the place. I started by touching the things around me. I managed to discover something important.'

'It turned out to be a small room. As for how small. If I try to stretch my arm, I could probably touch both sides of the walls. That's how small the room was. And, it had no ventilation either.'

'Not even air to flow inside. I got worried that I might die after running out of air.'

Day 3,

'Something strange happened today. I was feeling extremely hungry but since there was literally nothing to eat except for some moss. I felt like I would die from hunger. But, strangely, a ray of light pierced my eyes.'

'Before I could look there for much longer, a small box was dropped inside. I had no idea where it was dropped. But, I immediately rushed toward the door and tried to find out.'

'My efforts weren't successful though. I didn't find anything at all. Filled with disappointment, I tried to find the box and after finding it, I tried to open it. The lid was tightly closed but it wasn't that tight.'

'I mustered some strength to open it and when I did, a powerful aroma struck my nose. I was shocked beyond anything. I immediately dipped my dirty finger inside the box, not even caring how dirty it was.'

'I touched some hot liquid. It was like broth but there was more than just broth. There were some small pieces. After a while, I found that these were pieces of meat and vegetables.'

'I grew suspicious because I didn't understand the reason for this food if they were going to let me die here. But, it also sparks another reason inside me. What if they weren't trying to kill me? What if they were trying to do something else?'

'While I was curious to find out the answer, I eventually gave up and decided to consume the entire box filled with soup and small chunks of meat and vegetables.'

Day 4,

'I was feeling energetic today. It was quite a surprise that they were actually giving me some food to eat. I literally thought I would die out of hunger. But, they didn't send me any food today.'

'I had nothing else to do so I decided to exercise a little. After all, it wouldn't be bad if I could fight, right? I was worried that I might not find enough nutrients for exercise so I decided to eat the moss on the ground.'

'The entire ground was filled with nothing but moss. So, I ate it. I ate as much as I could and exercising. I did it the whole day since I had nothing to do. My whole body was sore by evening. Well, I had no idea whether it was evening or not, I just continued until my body gave up.'

Day 5,

'It was a tiresome day. My body was sore and I had no energy to continue these kinds of heavy exercises. So, I tried to take a lot of breaks while doing these exercises and eventually finished. No food today.'

Day 6,

'Surprise! Surprise! They actually sent me the same food today. I noticed a strange pattern here. But, I couldn't understand the logic behind it. Why would anyone send food once every three days just to keep someone alive?'

'Since I couldn't find the answer, I gave up and decided to continue training after finishing my food.'

Day 7,

'Nothing strange happened. No food, only exercise, and moss.'

Day 8,

'Exercise and Moss'

Day 9,

'Food and Exercise'

Day 10,

'Food and Exercise... Yes, I have decided to call moss my food. After all, it was the only thing that was keeping me alive.'

Day 15, fre𝙚𝓌𝒆𝚋noѵel.c𝚘m

'Food and Exercise.'

'Day 16,

'Food and Exercise… no wait, this time I didn't mean moss and exercise. Surprisingly, they sent food for two consecutive days. It was astounding but also a bit scary.'

'Because it was getting harder for me to understand their motives.'

Day 17,

'I understand. I understand it finally. They sent me food daily because they also sent something else inside the room. A snake. I touched the snake and it bite me.'

'I am not sure whether I am alive or not. My consciousness is slowly fading away. Damn it! I thought they were letting me live.'

Day 18,

...…

Day 19,

...…..

Day 20,

'I woke up and found myself alive. I was surprised to find myself awake. I didn't understand the reason behind my survival but the hunger quickly caught up to me.'

'But as I moved my hand, I once again touched the snake and it bit me. Yes, once again I was bitten by a snake and I am slowly losing consciousness. I could feel the poison passing inside my veins, my muscles bulging and the heat was rising.'

Day 21,

'I woke up once again, feeling hungry. This time though I didn't move instantly. Instead, I kept my eyes closed and breathed in silence. I tried to feel my surroundings.'

'After living for twenty days inside the darkness, I could feel myself merging with one. It was quite hard but I eventually understood this feeling. It's like I am feeling the air with my skin even though there is no wind blowing around.'

'It's like I can smell the change of air in an instant. Even a slight movement in the air doesn't go unnoticed by my ears. So, even when it was completely dark, my senses had heightened to the point where I could easily move.'

'I could hear the rattle of the snake. I could feel the change in the air when it uses its tongue to breathe. I could feel the intense energy coming out of the snake itself.'

'I was right. This snake wasn't an ordinary snake. It never tried to eat me but it continuously tried to poison me. And, that poison wasn't killing me but instead changing something inside of me.'

'I slowly moved my body as I reached closer to the box. I could feel the heat in two of the boxes. It feels like the food was dropped just today. I quickly reached there but suddenly, I noticed the air splitting too fast.'

'I reached out to it with my other hand and caught the body of that snake. But the snake was quite fast. It instantly moved its head and bit my hand. But, I didn't let it go. I grabbed the box closer to me and then, I threw the snake away.'

'The poison started to spread around my veins but I didn't care. I had to eat. I was so hungry that I didn't eat, I would become powerless to even move. At least, I knew that much about myself.'

'I opened my mouth as much as I could and before the poison began to affect me, I ate all of the food as if I was drinking water. After I finished that box, my eyes finally shut down and I fell on the ground.'

Day 22,

'I woke up and the pungent smell of poop entered my nose. I ignored it. I knew for survival, I had to live in the toilet.'

'After I woke up, I noticed the snake was once again coming towards me but this time, I managed to grab it properly and then stop it from biting me. I didn't kill it though.'

'I decided to tame this snake. Even in the darkness, I could see the emerald eyes of the snake. The eyes that prey on darkness. The eyes that never let their prey go. I had to become like a snake, survive in darkness, and live within it.'

Day 23,

'Nothing unusual happened except I finally managed to pass out for less than five hours after getting bitten by a snake. I also exercised and ate the remaining cold food that was left.'

'Even when I was unconscious, they would drop boxes. I realized that I had to come up with something to escape. Because it was one thing to survive. I didn't want to spend the rest of my life here.'

Day 24,

'I ate, exercised, and got bitten by the snake.'

Day 25,

'Same routine'

Day 30,

'Something changed.'

'The door in front of me opened.'
