Kent had finally managed to kill the wolf. He was happy, joyful, elated but most of all he was relieved. If the tactic which he had tried had not worked out then he most likely would have been dead. Everything he did to end that fight was very risky and deadly considering the fact he had never done them before.
"i need to be stronger next time" kent thought in his head. He knew if he ever met a creature like that again he will need to be strong enough to protect himself.
He was still thinking to himself when suddenly a loud voice was heard. it was a voice completely different from the previous one.
In comparison the first voice was a male voice as it was incredibly deep and bold while this voice was more likely in the female side as it had a very soft and gentle tone accompanying it.
(candidate has killed a high rank stage one cursed wolf)
(Candidate will be rewarded with a technique which suits his personality).....
"It seems the voice wants to reward me now, uh."
kent knew the voice had saved him but he didn't still fully trust it. It gave him this power but didn't even give him any instructions on how to use it. if he was someone without any knowledge of this place he will have died not even by the wolf but by the power the voice gave him.
kent was still thinking when the voice suddenly spoke
(Due to the candidate killing a high rank stage one cursed wolf, the candidate will be given the ability swift slash.)
"What, a technique called swift slash."
("The candidate shall therefore be infused with the technique.")
Immediately the voice said that kent felt a very sharp pain enter his body.
"Keuk... what the hell." Kent body was now flooded with a lot of pain. He felt his veins and muscles all tearing as If they were being stretched beyond their limit. His previously white and average face was now completely bulging with veins. He was tired, in pain and not only that his previously injured left abdomen of his body was now melting away due to the wolfs attack.
"Arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh."
Kent now let out a very loud scream clearly showing his pain.
"Fuck...is t-this voice trying to kill me."
"Adding more suffering to the already injured me."
Kent was now trying to resist the urge to fall unconscious. He knew if he did fall unconscious then there is a likelihood he will die while unconscious due to the pain.
"I can't lose this battle I have to struggle."
He gritted his teeth and started resisting every urge he now had to give up. He didn't stop he kept on going not caring about anything else. Only what he wanted to achieve now remained in his head.
"Pain is vital for all humans. If humans dont feel pain then they have not lived. This pain I am feeling right now Is all for my benefit. I cannot loose all of these benefits I will gain just because of some pain I am feeling. Today I struggle just like an animal resisting death because I am weak but tomorrow I will be above it. Above this very pain which is stomping right on my very soul. I will be above it, above it all that even pain the teacher of all will be nothing to me. Kent motivated himself in his head with eyes showing nothing but determination.
Kent had experienced alot of pain since coming here. He knew how much pain he had felt and how much he has wanted to give up. But he never gave up. He kept on pushing himself, stretching himself beyond his limit and the fact that he is still alive is enough proof of his resolve. But this pain he Is feeling is different from before. It wasn't a pain one could overcome with just resolve and motivations. This particular pain felt like it was not teaching him but rather it was strangling him. It felt like this pain wanted him dead.
"Argh... when will it end."
It had now been over 10 minutes since the pain started.
When will this damn fuuuucking pain end." Kent screamed at the top of his voice as he tried his very best to hold on to the little consciousness he had but it was slipping away from his grasps. All the motivation and resolve he had was no longer coming out. The motivating words he had been screaming in his head refused to even form.
He was losing consciousness. It was over for him. It was finished.He couldn't hold on anymore. His face and body was pale and drenched with sweat. All of his organs, muscles,veins, tendons even his cells were being stretched beyond their limit that he felt it could tear any moment.. He had done his best but even his best wasn't enough.
Then suddenly he lost all consciousness. His body immediately slumped to the ground releasing a massive thud on the ground. He had truly lost all of his awareness.

"What, where am I?"
A young man with a slightly beautiful face and slightly long black hair thought to himself as he looked around at his surroundings.
