Chereads / How an Extra Survives in the Apocalypse / Chapter 14 - The Day I Cut My Wrists

Chapter 14 - The Day I Cut My Wrists

It looks like I had horrible luck in this world, I mean I am incapable of magic as even those warriors have magic power in them.

No to be more correct every human in this human world has some amount of magic power in them but it looks like I am a sole exception to that rule.

No magic pathway means that I don't have the system in which magic travels through the entire body and is released from it.

So it's impossible for me to increase magic as in a literal sense I don't have the function of magic.

It looks like my stats are horrible except for the mental strength which is unusually high as 4th stars generally those super-geniuses of the arcane academy are able to achieve and that too upon graduation.

It is not a huge surprise seeing my stats as I am just 6 years old but still, I wished I had some other power than simple healing.

A superpower is found in 1 in 100 thousand people which is very low considering the proportion.

An adult male's average muscular strength was [1 star 0%].

Wherever you go, compliments like "Wow, he's in shape" are commonly made.

When you reach [1 star 20%], you hear that you have exercised a little, and when you reach [1 star 40%], your body starts to get a little more muscular.

The opposite would be true if you dropped to [0-star |], which is the absolute definition of a weak body.

There are 2 ways to awaken my superpower one is to make my physical body enough stronger.

The other is to give myself a life-and-death simulation which is very risky as if something goes wrong I might just drop dead.

Ugh, I really wish my status bar had any other function other than simply showing my stats and abilities.

I looked around me and searched for something sharp, I needed it so I could awaken my ability.

My gaze landed on the plank made of wood but then I shook my head as removing a piece of wood might just destroy the enchantment and I am not even sure I am strong enough to destroy it.

I looked around and found a fine piece of stone some distance away, I looked at the stone and thought that perhaps I had to sharpen it a little more.

I picked another rock and started to grind them against each other to sharpen the edges of the first stone.

A cut is a break or opening in the skin. It is also called a laceration.

A cut may be deep, smooth, or jagged. It may be near the surface of the skin, or deeper.

A deep cut can affect tendons, muscles, ligaments, nerves, blood vessels, or bones.

A puncture is a wound made by a pointed object such as a nail, knife, or sharp tooth.

Puncture wounds often appear to be on the surface, but may extend into the deeper tissue layers.

My intention was to give myself a wound deep enough to put me in a near-death situation.

I might look crazy for cutting my hands but I believe I will survive as I always do!

It might also be because of learning about this world's true nature I am so pressured and nervous that I am doing a crazy action like this.

Okay so here goes nothing.

I put the stone on my right wrist and tried slashing it many times but It only led to surface area injury, it looks like cutting your wrist is not easy as shown in the movie.

I could just go home and bring a real knife to cut my wrist but there is a chance for me to get caught by the old man.

I mean what would I say if he asked me why I was taking the knife.

I could make a random excuse but I doubt something of that level would be able to deceive him.

He is much smarter than I give him credit for.

I looked at my surface-level wound and then looked at the rock again and thought about if I did something like this in my old world I would probably get some kind of infection.

The common people here are much more immune to diseases compared to those athletes.

It might be because of genetic evolution or it might be a different rule of this world.

I looked at the rock the sharp edge of the rock and suddenly punctured my right wrist, I kept puncturing my hand several times again and again.

My entire arm was covered in my blood and the blood had also gotten on my clothes, the blood had started to drop on the ground and I simply started to move towards a tree to sit by it.

I looked from where I came and the entire path was covered in blood.

This unique method of awakening wasn't discovered by me but by one of the villains in the game.

She had taken strong poison to try to awaken her power and in the first place she didn't even know she had superpowers.

I mean superpowers can only be discovered when they are awakened. I don't know what kind of desperation one had to have to seek power so much but I knew that she is one hell of a character.

I might be not taking poison but losing blood is also considered an external simulation! probably?

My face had become pale due to too much blood loss but the damm power still had not awakened, It looked like I was going to die again.

I started to feel dizzy and my head really felt heavy like someone had put 100-kilogram weight upon it.

I started to feel difficulty in breathing and I am feeling really tired.

It makes me remember all that nonsense medical knowledge my sister had put in my head for example the reason for the Anemia that I currently have!

When blood is lost, the body quickly pulls water from tissues outside the bloodstream in an attempt to keep the blood vessels filled.

As a result, the blood is diluted, and the hematocrit (the percentage of red blood cells in the total amount of blood in the body, or blood volume) is reduced.

Eventually, increased production of red blood cells by the bone marrow may correct the anaemia.

However, over time, bleeding reduces the amount of iron in the body, so the bone marrow is not able to increase the production of new red blood cells to replace those lost.

This causes a lack of oxygen sent to our body which causes tiredness and weakness.

Suddenly everything around me started to go black, this darkness was scarier than death to me because this darkness felt like the embodiment of loneliness.

I have stopped feeling my body and it's chilling cold here.

I am barely hanging on my conscious right now and right now I realize that maybe I don't have what it takes to become strong.

I will always be that coward who runs from situations when they become too difficult, and no matter how many times I called my sister stupid at least she never ran from anything.

She was someone who never gave up on me, I wish that I could see her again.

I wanted to tell her that I am sorry, that I miss her and most of all thank you for always being with me.

With this thought the last string of my consciousness broke apart.

[Error: Extreme external stimulation received towards the host which may lead to death soon]

[Error: Due to external stimulation the superpower Healing is awakening ahead of time]

[Error: The superpower Healing has awakened and is now functioning]

[Healing: 2-star 13%(The superpower is able to heal all minor injuries in the body and rejuvenates the blood and the physical functions of a human body ]

[Error: The superpower Healing has healed all the injuries of the host's body and has pulled him out of his near-death state.
