'Claim the beginner reward.' Nathan thought to himself. Then in the next moment, a magical scene suddenly happened.
[Beginner reward claimed. The host has received a reconstruction pill.]
That was just a single prompt, but suddenly, Nathan felt that his hand that was previously empty was holding something. It was as if it had just suddenly appeared within his hand that was currently clutching on the sheets that he was laying on, after experiencing the previous pain.
Going through the pain, he managed to bring his hand to a level that he could see. Within his hand, he could see that there was actually a small green pill that had appeared. Of course, he believed that he did not possess anything like this, not even in the memories that he possess about the original Nathan.
This was called the reconstruction pill? This was the first time that he was hearing about something like this. But even then, he was not sure about what the function of the pill was. Of course, he could understand the meaning of reconstruction, but it was just that he was not sure if this pill was capable of doing what the meaning of reconstruction was.
After a moment of hesitation, Nathan took the pill. In any case, he believed that there was no way that this so-called assassination system was going to kill him, right?
The moment that he took the pill, he suddenly felt immense heat spreading all over his body. This was unexpected, and for a moment, Nathan's muscles tensed. With that, the pain that he was experiencing came back again.
During the time that he was experiencing the pain, he could feel that the heat was spreading throughout his body. In the next moment, all of his body was encompassed by the heat.
Then, the pain that he was feeling all over his body suddenly began subsiding. Nathan could not help but feel relieved, as he felt comfortable without the pain that was troubling him all over.
For a moment, he was tempted to stand up. But then again, realizing that the heat that was all over his body had not yet subsided, he decided to remain on the bed. And it seemed that that was the right decision that he had made.
In the next moment, an even more immense pain suddenly erupted all over his body. The amount of pain that he was feeling was extremely excruciating, that it made Nathan groan. But even then, he did not actually scream out, considering that this was just how he had grown up, both in this life, and in the life back in his real world.
The pain that he was undergoing right now was something that almost made him lose his mind. But even then, he did not give up, and just continued to hold on. He was not sure about the function of the pill, but he believed that with such a reaction, the benefits that would come with it would definitely be good.
Additionally, perhaps if he actually allowed himself to fall unconscious, he might end up not waking up again. So, although he felt that he was about to lose his consciousness, he used all of his willpower in order to hold on.
Finally, after about 5 minutes, the sweat-soaked Nathan finally felt relieved. The pain that was coursing through his body had finally subsided. But again, the effect of the pill had actually not ended at all. Instead, Nathan felt that it kept on moving around his body, going through his bones and flesh, and even his blood.
Then in the next moment, he felt that there was something that was being pushed out of his body through the pores of his skin. When he looked at his hands, he realized that there was black filth that was suddenly coming out of his body.
This surprised Nathan. It was not as if he had not experienced something like this back in the world where he was from. There, there was a process that was utilized in order to improve the talent of a person.
His adopted father had given him medicinal substances that enabled him to be able to improve his talent. It was due to his father aiming to make sure that Nathan took the position of the leader of the Crimson Serpent Assassination organization.
At that time, the amount of the black substance that came out of his body was extremely small. But right now, it was coming out of his body in extremely large amounts, that he even doubted that it was actually coming from his body. Where the heck was all of this from?
This continued for the next 2 minutes or so, before it finally stopped. Basically, Nathan was covered in an armor that was made out of black filthy.
Additionally, it was extremely disgusting in smell. Nathan could not tolerate the smell at all, and he nearly puked. It was just that he did not have anything in his stomach to puke, and that was the reason why he did not.
Not being capable of withstanding the smell anymore, Nathan got to his feet, before he rushed towards the bathroom. The moment that he got there, he immediately began taking a shower in the bathtub that was already filled with water.
The moment that he dipped his body into the water, the water immediately became black as if somebody had poured used oil in the bathtub. The smell immediately began spreading in the entire bathroom.
Nathan had to wash his body several times for the smell to be fully eliminated. It was only then that he felt relaxed. Finally, he looked at his image in front of a mirror.
He possessed black hair that reached his shoulders. The dark red eyes looked back at him emotionlessly. He possessed an average appearance according to the memories that he possessed, but the current person that he could see in the mirror was definitely different.
It seemed that after he had taken the reconstruction pill, his appearance had been improved. But of course, it was not as if he had been improved by a large margin, but instead, it was just that he was no longer ordinary in appearance, but just slightly above average when it came to appearance.
He was 186 cm tall according to his estimation, and currently, his body was quite packed with muscles. Although it was true that they were not that bulky, but they were much more defined and compact.
The appearance that he possessed right here was definitely different from the one that he possessed back in the original world from where he came from. But even then, there was one thing that remained the same, and that was the stature of his body together with his height.
It was at this moment that Nathan could feel that he was possessing incredible strength. Although it was true that the strength that he currently possessed was not at the same level as the one that he possessed before he was betrayed back in his original world, but even then, it was definitely over two levels above the one that the original Nathan of this world possessed.
After admiring his body for a while, Nathan finally decided to go back to the bedroom. The moment that he got there, he was once again irritated by the disgusting stench that came from the bed that had already been soiled by the black filth.
Nathan immediately took the beddings, and dumped them outside of the place where he was. The house that he was living in was a single bedroom building with a living room and a kitchen. It was self-contained, and he had just purchased it during the time that he came here for a mission.
After getting rid of the beddings, it seemed that he would have to purchase new ones if he wanted to sleep in here again. Nevertheless, Nathan did not care much about that, instead, he went back into the room, quite curious about the changes that had happened to his body.
"System? Are you there?" Nathan tried communicating to the system, but no matter how many times he called out, there was no response at all.
In the end, Nathan simply gave up on it. Then in the next moment, he began thinking about his current power level. In this world, power levels were divided very simply.
The power levels were divided from one star to 5 stars. And each star possessed 9 levels. Those from the first star to the second star were considered as low-level existences within this world, and those at the third and fourth star level would be considered as in the middle.
Only those that had reached the fifth star would be considered as the top existences within this world. The power that they possessed was capable of destroying an entire city with just a flip of their palm. That was the exact reason why they were included in the truce agreement, making sure that they did not engage in fighting. Otherwise, the losses that both sides would suffer would definitely be immense.
Currently, Nathan was at level 6 of the first star. As for the person that he was supposed to deal with, that person was already within the third star, as for what level in particular, Nathan was not sure about it.
Level 6 of the first star was the power level that the original Nathan of this world possessed. But currently, Nathan believed that he was stronger, considering that he could feel that his strength had increased after taking the reconstruction pill.
The moment that Nathan thought about his current power level, another prompt unexpectedly appeared in front of him.
