Roland was quickly placed in a coffin, then buried beneath the ground.
If a normal person is buried underground, it is already very difficult to find a way out.
Now that Roland had his limbs severed by Selvia and even his eyes were blinded, he was even more unable to escape from this coffin and climb up through the thick layer of rocks and soil to the surface.
At this moment, he suddenly became extremely calm, as if he had gone back to the past, remembering the times when he was buried alive by his grandfather.
'Could it be… that grandpa knew about this beforehand, so he trained me?' Roland thought to himself.
Grandpa must have anticipated this, so he trained and taught him how to breathe while buried alive.
But… even if he could stay in the coffin for seven days, how could he get out afterwards?
Even if he could escape, with Roland's current physical condition, how could he escape or even take revenge?
He didn't know, but he decided to try to hold out.
'If I don't have a miracle in seven days, then I'm destined to die.'
Roland decided to put himself into hibernation using the method his grandfather taught him.
At this moment, the gem he wore on his chest was emitting an eerie purple light.
It kept flashing as if it was sending out some kind of signal; however, Roland was blind, so he couldn't see what was going on.
…
Seven days later.
"Oy! Do we really have to dig him up?"
"That's right; I also don't understand why the young lady said we should bury him, but now we have to dig him up."
"It's been seven days; maybe he's still alive."
SLAP!
"Ack! Why did you hit me?"
"Are you stupid? He had his limbs cut off, his eyes blinded, and he was buried in a coffin. Even a god would die, let alone a useless person like him."
"You are right."
"Alright, hurry up. I don't understand why the young lady is asking us to do this in the middle of the night."
"Yes, hurry up; I still want to drink some wine."
In the dead of night, two men began using shovels to dig up Roland's coffin.
After a while, they finally saw the coffin; the two looked at each other, neither of them willing to open the coffin lid.
"You open the coffin."
"What the hell? Why do I have to open the coffin? You open it!"
"Okay, I'll open the coffin, and you carry his body, okay?"
"Fuck! Then let me open the coffin."
"You… then each of you can carry him a bit, okay?"
"Okay, you and I will open the coffin lid together, okay?"
"Okay! Okay!"
The two men made up their minds and immediately used shovels to break the coffin latch, then opened the coffin lid.
What caught their eyes was the body of a young man lying still, eyes closed, with both arms and legs severed.
Both men swallowed, feeling a chill down their spines.
"You carry him, quickly!"
"You…"
"I will pay for the drinks later and call you another girl."
"Fuck! Remember your promise."
An annoyed man bent down, started to pull Roland's body up, and placed it on his back.
"Strange… this kid seems to be alive."
"Impossible! His limbs were chopped off; he even had his eyes gouged out, and then he was buried alive for seven days. How could he still be alive?"
"I… I don't know; I just have a feeling that he's still alive."
"Don't think too much; take him away quickly!"
Two men, one holding an oil lamp, the other carrying Roland's body, began to leave.
'Am I being taken away?' A thought appeared in Roland's mind.
Even though he had entered a state of hibernation, his consciousness was still aware of what was happening around him; it was just that… He couldn't move.
'My chest… is so hot… Why is it so hot?'
Roland felt as if there was a burning coal pressed against his chest.
That's right, the pearl that his grandfather gave him before was starting to creep inside his body.
Afterward…
[Ding! Congratulations on successfully activating the 'Immortal System'.]
A mechanical voice rang out in Roland's head, startling him.
'System? Do I have a system?' Roland had naturally read online novels, so he knew what a system meant.
'System, what is your function? How can you help me?'
[Ding! The system is starting to synchronize the system's talent to the owner, please wait a moment.]
'Talent?' Roland was overjoyed.
In this world, if you don't have talent, you can only be an ordinary person.
If you have the talent, you can become an adventurer, with everything from money, fame, and women.
The higher your talent, the higher your status. That's also why the five isekai people with him are called 'Heroes'.
Because their talent is too strong.
[Ding! Synchronisation successful; congratulations on obtaining the unique talent - Immortal (rank - ???)]

[Ding! First Mission Launched: First Death
Description: Death is not scary at all; it is a kind of joy, a kind of stimulation. Experience death for the first time.

Roland was startled; he didn't think his system would be this strange.
However… This was probably what he needed the most.
He was in the most desperate state after all, but after death, not only was he able to revive to a perfect state, but his strength was also increased.
'The problem is… how can I die without committing suicide?' Roland thought to himself.
"Hurry… get him on the carriage." One of the two men hurriedly said.
"I know, but I don't want to ride in the same carriage with a corpse."
"Ah! Just throw him on the roof of the car."
"Are you stupid? If there is a dead body on the roof of the car, how do you intend to explain it to everyone?"
"Fuck! Then… leave him in the car; we stay outside."
"That's OK…"
The two gravediggers threw Roland into the carriage, then they drove the carriage towards Selvia's castle.
Very quickly, the two gravediggers carried him to a small room, then threw him on the floor and hurriedly left.
Roland lay still on the cold floor, and he noticed the sound of high heels hitting the floor getting closer and closer.
Crop! Crop! Crop!
The sound stopped beside him, and the familiar scent of perfume filled his nose, helping him immediately recognise it was Selvia.
She sat down, placed her hand on his heart, then checked his neck, confirmed he was completely dead, and smiled mysteriously and a bit crazily.
"Roland… If I hadn't confirmed that you were dead, I would have thought you were just sleeping."
Roland was a little scared.
Even though he had activated the system and could be immortal, he still felt afraid of her for some reason.
"Do you know that today is the day Alex and the princess are getting married?"
"Do you know what he said when he saw me? He said I just need to wait for him for a month, and after a month, he will marry me."
"Hahahaha… How funny, he said that right at his wedding with the princess."
"Roland… Are all men like this?"
"Or is it… because Alex is a hero that he wants all the beauties to belong to him?"
"Roland… You're just like him, right?"
"If it weren't for you, I would have been his bride today. I would have stood before the King with him, and sworn to be faithful for life."
"What's even funnier is… Alex is just like those other men, their eyes looking at me are full of lust and greed."
"But you are different; you look at me with fear. Can you see my thoughts?"
"Hahahaha… How funny; I don't understand why I'm sitting here talking to a corpse either."
"Roland… I'm very sad… That's why I want to have some fun."
Selvia pulled out a knife and then stabbed Roland's body repeatedly. She stabbed while laughing madly.
"Hahahaha… hahahaha… Even if you die, you can still make me excited like this… You really are a good man… Roland."
"Hahahahaha…"
Roland felt terrible pain, but he couldn't move because he was in a state of hibernation.
Blood splattered everywhere, splattering Selvia's face and evening gown.
But she still seemed unsatisfied, frantically stabbing at Roland's corpse.
[Ding! Congratulations on successfully experiencing the joy of death. Your strength has increased by 200%.]
[Ding! You have luckily obtained the skill - Explosive Pressure (Rank - ???)]
[Ding! The 'Immortal' talent has been activated. Welcome back, my master.]
