Chapter 2 - Chapter 2 A Blessing In Disguise, Awakening To Immortality!

Gared Morgan couldn't believe that he died like this.

Traveling into such a disgusting world, he had escaped several bloody killings. But he didn't expect that he would die at the hands of that damn Paul Martin!

He might be the most unfortunate time traveler in history, he mused. It didn't matter if he wasn't invincible, but dying young was just cruel.

And just when Gared Morgan thought he was about to sleep forever, an exciting voice appeared in his ears!

[The death of the host is detected, triggering specific conditions.]

[Congratulations to the host for unlocking the god-level skill - Immortality. Please continue to work hard to unlock more skills.]

[Immortality: From now on, you will not die in any way. All injuries you receive will heal themselves within one minute. In addition, any injuries you receive will not cause pain. Please be bold and brave!]

[The system is transforming your body, and you will regain body control in one minute.]

"What the heck!" Gared Morgan was shocked when he saw these prompts. It turned out that the golden finger didn't abandon him; it was just waiting for specific conditions to be triggered.

His own death had unlocked the skill - Immortality. If specific trigger conditions were met, he could unlock other incredible skills!

If that was the case, his system was like a hidden treasure - a vault of untapped power!

And just then, Gared Morgan's life, which was about to be extinguished, was rekindled in an instant. The dead vision also returned to normal.

He saw that Paul Martin, the disgusting teacher, was rifling through the pockets of his and Angelina's bodies. It was obvious that Martin had spotted the substantial amount of money on Angelina, and greed had driven him to commit murder.

You see, even in a lawless place like the untouchable areas, self-inflicted deaths during the day were prohibited. Capital punishment awaited those who were caught, while people in the main urban areas faced hefty fines.

For Gared Morgan, this situation was clear. Paul Martin had to be stopped and made to pay for his crimes.

Soon, Gared Morgan had successfully resurrected and regained control of his body. At this moment, Paul Martin was still busy looting the bodies.

For Paul Martin, a woman who had died only moments ago seemed to excite his perverted desires the most. However, he didn't know that Gared Morgan had risen from the dead behind him.

Taking advantage of Martin's distraction, Gared Morgan quickly moved towards Martin's waist and swiped the Desert Eagle. 

The sudden turn of events left Paul Martin in shock, unable to comprehend how Gared Morgan, who had seemingly died moments ago, was now standing in front of him alive and well.

Before Martin could react, Gared Morgan had already aimed the Desert Eagle at his head, saying with a smirk, "Paul Martin, are you surprised?"

Martin was too stunned to speak. He had tested Gared Morgan's aura and was sure he was mortally wounded.

However, Gared Morgan didn't give Martin a chance to respond. He fired a shot directly at Martin's crotch, causing Martin excruciating pain and making him lose his composure.

Subsequently, Gared Morgan didn't hold back. He relentlessly kicked Martin, causing him to writhe in agony on the ground. Gared Morgan had grown up in a harsh environment, and his strength was formidable. Each kick was a painful reminder of the brutality that Martin had unleashed.

After numerous blows, Martin fainted from the pain. Gared Morgan grabbed a chair leg, inserted it into Martin's temple, and twisted it to ensure he was well and truly dead.

As Martin breathed his last, another system prompt appeared:

[It is detected that the host has completed the kill, triggering specific conditions.]

[Congratulations to the host for unlocking the god-level skill - Unlimited Extraction. Please continue to work hard to unlock more skills.]

[Unlimited Extraction: You can absorb the abilities of the killed person and convert their abilities into your own. The type and quantity of your abilities are not limited by your body. In principle, there is no upper limit!]

Gared Morgan was taken aback by the system's rapid bestowal of another god-level skill.

However, as he contemplated it, he realized that the ability to absorb the skills of others was truly remarkable. Though not immediately useful in their current environment, Gared Morgan knew that his newfound abilities would be a game-changer in the challenging world he now inhabited.
