Chapter 15: C015—Patriarch of Sakura (1)

He only needs to take a 10-second break to replenish his mana, and he doesn't have to worry about running out with the help of his wisdom attribute which makes his mana regeneration rate 443 per minute.

Rein is confident that he can navigate the Senri Kaidan with ease. He plans to continue his journey and reach step 500 or stage 6, but he knows that the level of difficulty increases as he progresses. For example, step 401 consumes 50 mana and the next steps may require thousands.

Rein has experienced this type of pressure before, at stages 3 and 4, where he was stunned for 35 seconds at step 324. He anticipates that stage 5 will be similarly challenging.

....

"No, no, no, NO! This can't be so easy!"

Enduring pain is a necessary part of the struggle of climbing a stair, or in any other endeavor. But that doesn't mean you as a man have to be silent. You can express your feelings but do so in a controlled manner.

"I KNOW YOU LOVE ME, GAIA! but right now I'm feeling overwhelmed with anxiety!"

[ Successfully reached the 473rd step of Senri Kaidan ]

[ Obtained Azurite (B) (1x) ]

[ Attribute upgraded:

Strength (+2) ]

[ Mana (-50) ]

Rein's negative thoughts began to surface as he observed that the decrease in Mana he had been waiting for did not seem to be happening. He was in a state of frustration and started to act irrationally, stepping on each step of the Senri Kaidan and shouting out the step number every 10 seconds without considering the impact on his Mana.

“475!

[ Mana (-50) ]

...

“485!

[ Mana (-50) ]

...

“497?!!”

[ Mana (-50) ]

....

[ Successfully reached the 499th step of Senri Kaidan ]

[ Obtained Azurite (B) (1x) ]

[ Attribute upgraded:

Wisdom (+1) ]

[ Mana (-50) ]

"What should I do? Should I give up? Should I die? Hey, tell me..."

Rein started talking to himself as the loneliness and stress in his mind became overwhelming. He couldn't control it anymore and had to let it out. At this moment, Rein stopped and tried to find some answers. His heart was racing and he panicked as he couldn't find the answers by himself, but he knew he had to ask the system again. He didn't want to do it, but it had to be done to solve the problem.

"SUVICE, what are my chances of dying in Senri Kaidan?"

[ (!) (5%) if you remain in this position. (50%) if you fall. (100%) if an asteroid the size of a Pinus seed falls directly on your head ]

"Ha-ha-ha-aaaha, what a good joke... BUT!" Rein looked left and right, making sure there were no such things as Pinus seeds. "It's a good thing we only have cherry blossom trees at Sakuya Hill. It would be funny though if a Pinus seed fffff—”

"FAAAAAALLLL!"

Rein's legs weakened and were not in prime condition after climbing 499 steps. He lost his balance, even his bare feet made him slip.

Rein leaned his body backward.

’NO! The chance are 50%, I just have to step on my foot!’

—THOMP!

[ You cannot go back to Senri Kaidan! Your choice is only to move forward or return from here! ]

[ Mana (-500) ]

“Haha-ha... 50%?”

Previously, Rein had received warnings like this several times and the pressure would increase ten times from the last step, from 50 Mana to 500 Mana. This was the fourth time he had experienced this, the rest of them happened in stage 4 because he had weakened his guard during the stun time.

As a result, he had once been punished with a 150-second stun.

"HUH! There's nothing to worry about!"

—THOMPS!

Rein did not step, he jumped to the 500th step.

[ Successfully reached the 500th step of Senri Kaidan ]

[ Obtained Azurite (B) (1x) ]

[ Attribute upgraded:

Vitality (+10) ]

No one can guess what happened, but maybe Senri Kaidan doesn't approve of the way he did it.....

[ Mana (-1,000) ]

“ARRRGGHHHK!!!”

Because he did not have enough Mana to support it, his body jolted strongly when an impossible usage occurred all at once.

[ (!) Abnormal Mana usage detected ]

[ Under the Bleeding effect while Mana is empty! ]

[ Health (-50) ]

[ Health (-50) ]

"SUVICE! How much health do I have left?" Rein quickly regained consciousness, he wanted to stop this abnormality.

[ (!) Total Max Health (1,298) and Health Regeneration (130/min) ]

 “How about my Mana?”

[ (!) You have (-751.3) Mana ]

Rein could feel his body weakening and tearing apart as the Bleeding effect took hold, but he couldn't stop his mind from thinking of a way out. Rein calculated the outcome...

"Shouldn't this have an effect per second? If it lasts for 60 seconds...

"3,000?!" Rein was shocked that just because he used Mana in an abnormal way, he suffered such a great loss.

"My Health will be empty in 22 seconds! Even with a regeneration speed of 130 per minute, it's still impossible! I have to spend 25 seconds just to regain 50 Health, and the Bleeding effect took it in a second!

"SUVICE. How is my Mana regeneration rate?"

[ (!) You have Mana Regeneration (+479.43/min) or (+7.99/sec) ]

SUVICE doesn't assist the player in this condition, unless the player has a countermeasure, like when Rein was affected by the Silence Season, it immediately suggested a solution.

Rein has no advantages at all and his breathing is becoming heavier as time passes.

Crossof Realm can deploy its technology to ensure the negative effect affects the player in-game so realistically that there is even a community challenge of being drunk inside VR and entering dungeons to defeat beasts.

Bleeding not only reduces Health, but also affects the player's muscles, blood circulation, and breathing. Even though it feels so real in virtual reality, it does not affect the real world.

Now Rein's condition is getting worse, 15 seconds have passed and his Health has decreased by 750 points. He is already shaking violently just to bear the burden of his body. 

Rein is still trying to find a way out in his head, although there isn't a single thing that appears.

Even for the last hope that he thought could be helped in stage 6 later...

“HUH.. There’s nothing I can do—“

"EH?!?" His eyesight starts to blur, his muscles can no longer bear the burden and weight of his body, and each breath he takes becomes shorter like someone who has asthma.

Rein loses control of his body, and something he had been avoiding for so long, just happens as the universe wills it.

—THOMP!

He placed his foot on Senri Kaidan's step 499th...

[ You cannot go back in Senri Kaidan! Your choice is only to move forward or return from here! ]

[ Mana (-10,000) ]

“AAAARRRGGHHHHHKK!!!”

[ (!) You will die in (3) seconds ]

Pain flows through his body as he is forced to produce 10,000 Mana, which is 950% of Rein's capacity.

" You shouldn't have to force yourself! I must get you out of here! Go away! "

[ Expelled from Senri Kaidan ]

[ Disconnected from Life Stone of Sakuya ]

[ Connected to the Vessels of Sakuya ]

[ (!) You will die in (360) seconds ]

"HAH???"

Rein blinked and suddenly he was in a different place. He was falling through the sky, looking at the land below which he recognized as the Training Zone.

—Swoosh

As he plummeted through the cold air above the Training Zone, he was surprised to hear the voice of a female ancestor in his ear, even though he had left the Senri Kaidan.

" Rein! You're our last hope, we will do everything we can to keep you alive! "

" Find help and recover slowly. The Vessel of Sakuya will assist you as much as possible "

He stared at the Training Zone below, which was getting closer and closer. He could crash into the trees and the ground at any moment, but the ancestor from Sakuya still hadn't finished speaking to him.

" Rein, I appoint you as the next Patriarch of Sakuya! Show your leadership to the world! "

"Pardon?" He was startled in midair. He didn't expect his journey as a member of the Sakuya race to be like this. "Patriarch? Why me???"

The light pink cherry blossom that he had seen on the Senri Kaidan suddenly appeared in front of him again, falling through the sky with him. "It was her embodiment, right?"

" Let Sakuya be heard in every corner of the world, and let them know of our existence! "

" I entrust Sakuya to you! "

[Congratulations! You're the chosen one!]

....

[Achieved Unique Title [Patriarch of Sakuya]]

....

[You've got a Treasure Map of Sakuya [Divine] !]

"Please... this is too much at this rate...."

He couldn't help but feel stressed out.
