How many years has it been? All this time i am feeling that i was in heaven! I'm never waking up!
I lost track of time. Then a decade passed in the blink of an eye. Then a century. Then a millennium and an eon has ended.
Then i saw a light. Telling me to wake up. What? How many years has it been? My consciousness is slowly getting back.
I slowly opened my eyes and saw that the coffin has already been unlocked.
I quickly get up and stretched my body. Every bone in my body is making sounds. As expected.
Uwahh! Good morning!
Of course it wasn't. There was no way i could tell. And then i looked around in my surroundings. It didn't change much. But my body feels like it could crush a fortress easily. Is this the power of sleep?
But this place didn't change much at all. Oh well, can i go back to sleep now?
Hmmm that's strange i feel like the there's something wrong. I did saw a light telling me to wake up. That's strange i normally want to sleep but my body tells me that i need to go out more. No, that's not it. I feel someone is staring at me.
I grabbed my bag it was so mossy. I found out that the food is already dust. The iron sword is rusted and in the brink of collapse. The coins look lile they won't last another chip. The armor and tent too. I underestimated time. Is it because I'm immortal?
It is really 100,000 years. Then to be sure. I opened my status

What the fuck is this? Why is my stats so high? I didn't even gain a bonus from jobs. How the hell did it reached to this point?
"Unbelievable..."
And my mana pool is quite large. A billion? How did it reach to this point?
"Are you done already? I can't believe the only one who survived was you."
There was a woman sitting in the throne in the room. Which shouldn't have existed. I remember correctly, there should be a chest at that direction. But when i look closer to it. It seems familiar.
That figure. It's no mistaken it's Goddess Athena. But she looks like she's on the verge of dying? Her dress is tattered and several wounds appear in her skin.
"Goddess Athena?"
"Yes it is me, I don't have much time left. But let me explain. You've been asleep for 100,000 years. And a lot has happened. But the major part was is that the demon lord has been awakened again. But this time, he cornered the gods. And as a result, i am severely wounded." she said in weak tone. But i can clearly hear it.
"But why would the demon lord attack the gods? Oh wait it's because you summon the individuals that can defeat him?"
"You're quick to uptake."
So clichéd.
"You see, we only reincarnated people for the sake of the balance. But since it's already peaceful, we stopped reincarnating individuals. But then the demon lord appeared and we weren't ready. He killed most of us so that we won't send any more individuals. I have been sent here in this land in advance to try and warn those individuals. But they're quite stubborn and faced the demon lord. And all of them were slaughtered too"
Are they dumb? Or something why would they do that? Oh right they were cocky because of the blessing.. But still that situation. It's like a wannabe protagonist who wants to show-off but in the end is a complete rip-off
"This world isn't doomed for now. The humans from the kingdoms are fighting the Demon Lord's Army. The situation isn't that bad. But in a century, this world as theorised by my senior, Is doomed."
"What? Wait, how about my slumber?"
"Ugh! even by the thousands of years i still hate that face of you. You just care about sleeping aren't you?"
I mean she isn't lying. I could still use some...
"Shut up! can't you see the situation?"
My face isn't that remarkable. But maybe i went a little too far? It's not like i can make a living out of sleeping. Or can i?
"That's what you care?!? Zeus, is this child the only hope of our world?"
"Fine! I'll listen so stop with the dramatic scene!"
"Now I'll explain why your level is so high. You see, you have that [Exp gain] right? That skill increases the gain of exp you get by up to 5x and combined that with the 2x perk of a reincarnated individual, you have 10x boost on your exp. But [Exp gain] doesn't end there. It has a unique property aside from multiplying skill points, you can gain exp by automatically partying you in a dungeun .
"What?"
*cough* *cough*
She coughed then spitted blood.
Now i feel very bad. But she just continued talking anyway
"Are you okay?"
"No.... But let me finish"
It seems that she won't last longer
"Think of it like this. There is a party that challenged this dungeon. And they kill monsters right? You automatically party yourself in their party but they wouldn't know that you're there. It's more like a parasitic skill."
"Then, if that's the case wouldn't my level be less since the exp will be distributed normally?"
By partying, all members of the party receives equal amount of exp gained from killing a monster.
Even if i gain exp unconsciously, my level shouldn't be ridiculously high
"No, monsters here automatically respawn. By the way, this is the world's hardest dungeon. By your request and my pent-up anger, i chose this location in order to kill you"
Uh-oh so that's why i was sent here because no one has ever reached this place. Makes sense because the only place where you can't be discovered is an undiscovered place that even the greatest heroes of this land can't beat.
"And for 100,000 years, many have challenged this dungeon and you get all the experience they gain."
"But does that mean i steal their exp?"
But then, if they noticed that they didn't gain exp, what did they come here for aside from other materials?
"No, you gain the whole exp they get. But they don't lose the exp they gained."
"Oh so that's it. More like a parasitic relationship. Yeah.. (But is it really? I didn't harm them though)"
"Because you have [Limitless Growth] which is another perk of an reincarnated individual, your {Stats Acquisition} is quite high."
"{Stat Acquisition}?"
"To put it very simply, it is the amount of {Stats} added to your own stats that make you stronger. Normally it follows a standard +1 {Stat} but since you have a reincarnated individual's perks, you would receive a +100 {Stat} per level and you would receive +5 {Skill points} instead of one"
Now i can't quite follow
"I know but you have to bear with it. I won't last any longer too"
"Also the reason why your mana is very high is because you have been collecting mana from this place."
"Collecting?"
"You see, dungeons are basically places with high magical content. Monsters are born from magic after all. But to form monsters, the dungeon has to condense the magical property to form a monster.
But when a high magical place can't create a monster, they have to transfer itself to a vessel. And this place of the dungeon is the highest in the world."
"Meaning?"
"The magic of this part has been condensed in your body. That's why when i visited this place, it lacked magical energy."
"I'm getting it. So I'm a walking mana source?"
"Yes, but you're not necessarily a dungeon. The magic is part of you now. Ok enough, I'm going to explain some important things."
She won't last for another 5 minutes.
"Let me clarify, you're the only reincarnated being here now. "
"Because the
"I see, you're quite knowledgeable. Yes, and i am going to fade very soon. I am going to give you 3 more blessings. [Concealment] , [Control] and [Job configuration] . You have appraisal right? so i won't explain anymore."
*You have acquired [Concealment, Control, Job configuration]!*
"Ah. So i'm at my limit huh?. I know i have done unforgivable things to you but please
*You have Acquired [God Pantheon's Will]!*
"I don't really know. But i sure will for the sake of my sleep1."
"You truly are the worst till the end of my life. But thank you, Promise me, you'll become the world's strongest!"
A tear dropped from her cheek
And then she slowly faded into light like dust blowing with the wind...
What should i do now?

"Now what?"
I sighed then sat down in a corner. Thinking back, My goals were simple. Then now a heavy burden came.
This isn't what i wanted. I just wanted to sleep for eternity. I wish i could be like that guy in some manga that was thrown into space and was forced to sleep forever.
Seriously, what am i going to do?
