Through the open arches of the belfry, he could see a long familiar shadow standing guard.
Call Thanh Van crazy, but seeing that silhouette alone gave him the spike in adrenaline to push himself onto his feet and stagger up the steps.
But instead of the steps being slightly higher from the previous step, the stone seemed to have stretched in a blink of an eye, so high, there was no way Thanh Van could step on it without ripping himself in half in the process.
"System, this is cheating!"
The air hissed and crackled as the system came to life.
[You… are alive.]
The system sounded deeply disappointed - if not almost vehement at this revelation.
Thanh Van was too pissed at the current state of the stairs to pay attention.
"You cheating little-"
[Creator…]
The system's voice had a slight tremble to it as if it was biting back a need to lash out of anger.
