The Extra's Return-Chapter 26 Body Reconstruction

?My body is still sprawled on the bed.

My body felt like it was throbbing. One pulse after another pulse appeared and moved rhythmically.

The burning feeling in my body suddenly began to feel a little faded.

'Is it over?'

Even though I had thought that my suffering had started to fade as well, it turned out that my guess was wrong.

I haven't had time to take a breath yet, but new suffering came and replaced the burning feeling that had previously tormented me.

[You received Body Reconstruction.]

[Starting the Body Reconstruction process so that your body can receive the Stigma of Darkness.]

This time, the agony I had to feel was… It felt like all the fibers in my body were being pulled and rearranged. And every bone in my body felt like it was being broken and put back together.

In that process, my heart rate kept increasing until I thought it was faster than the speed of sound. The blood pumped from my heart spread to every corner of my body.

I tried my best to keep my consciousness. My body moved, struggling to follow the direction of the pain I was feeling.

I couldn't help but bite the ball of cloth that was lodged in my mouth. If I let the ball of cloth in my mouth, I might scream until my vocal cords break. Meanwhile, if my voice came out it would break everyone's eardrums.

Tears continued to gush out of my eyes. Snot was also coming out of my nose profusely. I flexed every muscle I could in my face as if to clearly describe how much I was trying to endure the pain.

Maybe my face would look ugly now. However, I didn't have time to pay attention to such unimportant things.

I couldn't possibly keep my appearance when this pain was so tormenting me.

With the pain 'almost' exceeding the pain tolerance that I can bear, time slides forward.

***

[The Body Reconstruction process has been completed.]

Finally, after that long agony, The wave of pain that I felt earlier had completely calmed down. Slowly, the pain that I felt began to disappear. f𝚛e𝗲𝔀e𝚋𝑛o𝘃𝒆𝗹.c𝗼𝒎

With all my might, my eyes began to slowly open. Spitting out a ball of cloth from my mouth, I looked around.

There is a stench smell from my bed which I am in now. Disgusting red-and-black droppings were everywhere. The dirt was probably coming out of my skin pores.

But not only blackish red dirt, but there was also bright red blood scattered on the mattress. It's my blood when I'm in pain, I guess.

'Apart from that…"

My nose twitched a little from the stench smell. But I ignored it first.

My gaze focused on the system message. World System said that the Body Reconstruction process was complete.

'So, it is Body Reconstruction, hah!'

The exclamation mark nestled above my head.

'I didn't expect that the World System could give me such a gift.'

For humans in this world, Body Reconstruction was a process they used to refer to as self-evolution. Only lucky people can experience Body Reconstruction. And now, I have experienced it too.

What is Body Reconstruction?

Body Reconstruction is a process in which a person's body undergoes a cleansing of impurities in their body. The bones and muscles of a person who undergoes this process will also be strengthened.

[Your strength has increased from F to D permanently.]

[Your speed has increased from F to D permanently.]

[Your endurance has increased from F to D permanently.]

[Agility and Reflex stats unlocked.]

As the system message said. My stats jumped two levels in one go. There are even other stats exposed.

[Every increase that occurs in your muscles, the increase will be compressed automatically. So you don't have to be afraid of having a body full of muscles like a monster.]

The latter effect took me by surprise.

Although that's a good thing.

'I guess that's enough to pay for all the pain I've been through.'

I tried to lift my body.

A sigh of relief also almost escaped from my mouth.

Until finally I realized that this is not over yet.

[Restarts received the Stigma of Darkness.]

"Shit!"

Maybe the pain of Body Reconstruction is over, but the process of obtaining the Stigma of Darkness isn't over yet.

If the Body Reconstruction process caused pain where my body felt like it was being crushed finely with a hammer, then the process of receiving the Stigma of Darkness was a process where the pain would be the same as when my body was roasted alive in hellfire.

For that reason, as soon as the system message appeared, I rushed to find the bundle of cloth that I had previously thrown away.

Surprisingly, when I lifted my body, I felt as if my body became lighter. Was it just my illusion?

After getting the bundle of cloth and stuffing it in my mouth, I sat on the bed in a ball-like position.

In that pitiful position, where I was biting the ball of cloth firmly in my mouth, I prepared to accept the pain once again.

"Urk!"

Not long after that, the pain of being burned by hellfire came again… that's what I believe.

However ….

[Congratulations! You have received the Stigma of Darkness.] 𝒇𝗿𝙚ℯ𝑤ℯ𝑏𝒏𝑜ѵe𝙡.c𝐨m

For some reason, the pain I had been waiting for did not come.

Unknowingly, the process of receiving the Stigma of Darkness had just finished.

In the end, I just looked around like an idiot.

Maybe it was because I had experienced Body Reconstruction that the pain I had been waiting for didn't come.

Regardless, I immediately corrected my position. I spit out the bundle of cloth that I bit off, wiping away the tears, snot, and sweat on my skin.

After doing all of that, I realize there was something in my body that wasn't there before.

When I stared at the back of my left hand, there was something like a tattoo there.

I'm sure there were no tattoos on my body before. But suddenly there is.

The tattoo image is like a flower petal, but the color in the image is all black.

[Name: Stigma of Darkness.

Description: Stigma granted to the Goddess of Darkness's chosen one. You can store Mana in Stigma of Darkness … Incomplete description.]

"??"

I am surprised.

My mouth is slightly open, while my brain begins the process of a thorough analysis of the description of the Stigma of Darkness.

I'm more focused on notifications about the Stigma of Darkness that can store Mana.

What does it mean?

Even the dumbest person would be able to understand what it meant. That is, within the Stigma of Darkness, I've resolved the source of the problem I've been having all this time.

Think of it like a Mana Core. With the Stigma of Darkness function that can store Mana, you can say that I already have a Mana Core. If you still don't understand, you are stupid.

Just like me now, although my brain also understands, but my subconscious still can't process the situation I'm in.

Shaking my head, I began to calm myself.

'Goddess of Darkness.'

My mind revolved around that name.

I don't know who the Goddess of Darkness is.

In the novel Demon Lord and the Hero of Light and my previous life, I never even heard of it.

In this world, there is only the God of Light, God Apollo.

'Not. The identity of the Goddess of Darkness is not important for now.'

With this Stigma of Darkness, I might be able to compete a bit with Jullian and the Demons in the future.

This is a huge breakthrough for me.

I lifted myself and stood up.

Knock! Knock! Knock!

The sudden loud sound was a knock on the bedroom door, but it felt like the sound of a door slamming.

'I'm sure that door won't last long.'

"BROTHER!! IF YOU DON'T OPEN THE DOOR, I WILL BREAK IT IMMEDIATELY!!"

A voice hit my ear hard. The voice came from behind the door.

"Brother, I'm in!"

Break!

As you can see, she is Willa.

Before I could even answer, she had already broken down the door and gone inside.

Gasp!

Her attention was focused on my bedroom, where everything appeared to be disintegrating. Her eyelashes briefly blinked as she continued to scan the many pieces of furniture that were broken and dispersed around before ultimately glaring at me.

"Big brother, how come your bedroom is so messy?"

Before I answered, she frowned.

A gust of wind suddenly came in from outside. The wind passed through the window into my bedroom, then the wind carried a stinking stench smell into Willa's nose.

Sniff... Sniff...

"Ew! What's this smell?"

Willa frowned while covering her nose with her finger. After scanning the room, her eyes were glued to what was on my bed sheet.

The look in her eyes showed that she already knew where the smell was coming from. It was obvious that the bed sheet in my bedroom was where the smell had come from.

"Big Brother! What is it?"

She pointed at something on my bed sheet while her finger shook erratically.

"Who-whose blood is that? Was it the blood of a woman who did it for the first time? Then, did you do it with Clarista yesterday or some other woman?"

Her hands continued to shake until the shaking of her hands spread throughout the rest of her body. She appeared to be about to cry.
