The endless streams of messages appeared in front of Raith as he flared up from the bed.
"What?!"
He ran his hands through his body but there were no burns.
"What is going on?"
Raith beseeched the vertical lines of holographic tabs that appeared in front of him.
His eyeballs dilated as he read from the least to the top, then...

Raith grinned hard and was about to continue his jolly moment until he stole a glance to his side and found Volmak collapsed on a shattered concrete.
He flew off the bed.
"Old man! Old man!"
He shouted as he pulled the old man up but with Volmak's weight, he couldn't even lift, after struggling for five more seconds Raith opened his stats with glittering face as if he was about to spend money recklessly.
[30 points have been added to strength stat]
[30 points have been added to agility stat]
[A perfect ratio synergy has been created between strength and agility stat]
'Wow... the perfect ratio synergy'
A state where the amount of speed and strength is equal or almost equal hence generating greater attack power even without a weapon, some heroes can smash tough weapons and shields with their fists with the perfect and precise utilization of this synergy.
[20 stats point has been added to vitality strength]
'Let's save up the rest for emergencies.'
A fresh and subtle blue breeze flowed around his body and he could feel it from within a surreal feel of the changes that were happening rapidly in his body as he lifted the old man with much ease compared to before, with both hands he placed the man's broad arms on his shoulders and moved him to the bed.
Then stretched his back after dropping him rashly.
"Okay..."
He paused for a while, exchanging glances between the shattered concrete and the man on the bed.
'What could've happened... last time too it was like that...'
He sat on the chair opposite the bed and leaned backward, resting his head and looking at the roof.
"Still, the abyss played me again... should I call this a test of courage, or did things change at some point?"
He mumbled as his eyes slowly began to close again. He couldn't control it, he just seem to not always learn no matter how much he wanted to resist sleep, he was powerless before it.

"Thank you so much."
Volmak muttered as he dropped the bowl of water he had just consumed, with very tired eyes he stood from the bed but fell back to his butt as he still couldn't get his head straight.
Raith delicately stood beside him, trying to help in the brief moment of staggering.
"But I don't understand. What happened? Why did you pass out on the ground, that time before too you seemed to have knelt for a very long time."
"Ha..."
Volmak sank his face into his palm.
'His dust has gotten stronger, no doubt this is the same feeling that forced me to my knees, only that it is a tiny bit and isn't intimidating.'
The man raised his head.
"I supposed you go to the abyss every time you sleep?"
Raith sat on the chair in front of Volmak and dragged it closer.
"Yes, then I am given a trial, when I pass the trial I am rewarded if I fail I will have to retake the trial and it will be harder than before."
'At least from my observation so far...'
"Wow"
Volmak rubbed the lower lips of his opened mouth.
'All that combined with the ability to resurrect after death... it sounds like the abyss is cooking up something. I have never heard of something like this—if not that I experienced it, even I wouldn't believe it if I was told.'
"But I am confused, first I thought it was Fel doing all this, after all, I was chosen by Fel."
"No, there is a lot to this... listen well, there are some informations that we cannot perceive or understand because of the celestial code. But I will start by telling you this even if it has consequences I believe you should know."
"Fel is an archdemon..."
"Huh?"
A stinging pain stroke through Raith's head as he heard, rolling his eyes up he was about to faint but jacked back to reality by sheer force.
[Your Will stat has increased by 1]
Volmak's eyeball thinned in.
'Did he just resist the penalty as if it is nothing, when secrets of cosmology are revealed especially of primordials and celestial our mind is temporarily kicked out of the plane of existence so we can forget or better still find it hard to remember... you are telling me he just resisted that like he was resisting sleep?'
Volmak's mouth wouldn't close.
"Ah... so you mean, Fel is not an archon."
The same pain stroke through his head as he heard those words but it was manageable this time.
"To be particular, Fel is an archdemon, the first and only archdemon to enter the celestial plane"
~Gbim!~
It struck him again, his head fell backward and his eyeballs completely disappeared but after three seconds he jacked his head forward again.
[Your Will stat has increased by 1]
Volmak was about to die of shocks and surprises.
"You are bleeding."
He pointed at Raith's nose.
Raith roughly cleaned the blood as he dealt with the leftover of stinging pain in his head.
'Even if he can resist it... it is still dangerous to keep on telling him.'
"I can't tell you much, it will affect you and even I don't know what happened after Fel entered the celestial plane. But a lot of things must have changed if he is perceived as an archon in your world"
~GBIM~
The pain struck him again, and this time he completely gave out, foaming through his mouth and bleeding through his nose and ears.
"Ah, I overdid it"
