as I regained consciousness, i thought about everything that happened the unbelievable drive to get that crystal the hunger I felt, it felt that my whole life was wasted if I did not get that crystal into my hand.
I felt that without it my life was meaningless it just kept calling to me like what a mother will do to her baby and the child will instantly walk toward her smiling.
worst of all I did not get control of myself until I encountered danger and later suppressed the feeling.
I felt fear just thinking about it. why is the crystal that important, if so why does it have to be a competition? yes, you heard me a competition if not why will it call so many monsters to fight over it if you have the power to call all dose monsters you can Hell just appear in the hand of the person you want simply and easily avoiding wasting time but who am I to complain as the crystal was tempting but I still got another reward.
it felt that I went down a level and a half but the last the monster I killed lastly pus the other gave me 5 to 6 levels altogether
I think because I was not the one to bite it completely so I could not gain the complete exp. After all, I felt that the creature I killed should give way more than this.
at least I killed that fucking skeleton king which tried to control me.
if not for my strong will I would have become his puppet, the only way out was to fight myself.
When I thought about all that happen it could only be a miracle that I lasted that long but then again the last thing that appeared at the end was dangerous all the while fiber of my being told me, this was not because of its strength but the feeling one has when you know that you and it are in totally different dimensions of power.
I was carried away in my thoughts time flew as I felt that my coffin will open in about a day.
.....
The next day as the coffin opened I walked out in a refreshing and happy mood, just thinking of all my gain on the trip made me expectant.
I quickly tidy up the platform Frist which took some hours as I brought out all the things in my inventory.
I then spent the day shorting out my trophies of war as time went by. At night I was done frost they were 6 wooden chests 3 were full of gold River and some jewelry while one was full of small size crystals which was the size of my pinky finger that had some energy inside them.
This reminds me of that crystal that all the monsters fought over but the comperizim was like an ant to a dragon so I placed it close by one of the wooden boxes contain some weird clothes and equipment which seem to contain magic.
They were 4 dresses and 2 amor one had a tiger-like design while the other was completely black it came with a River retractable spear which looked like a triton and the track chain.
In the last box were books and a small black box that seem to be locked I kept it at my side as I looked at the corpses of the monster around but what brought a smile to my face was the 5 large crystals on the ground they were gotten from the skeleton king, mint or, large monster lizard, skeleton elephant, and the lion like a monster.
It had a lot of energy in it, according to all the manga I have read one can eat this Crystal to gain some kind of skill I wondered if it was true or not, I looked at the pieces of monster that I found in my storage some were looked like part of some monster and other were raged cloth I punched them to another place they were also some damaged armor that was not complete but I just true them into the other pile of monster that I used to make things on my free time.
I then put my thoughts back in the Crystal I tried the most reasonable thing I could think of to absorb the energy in it and that was to eat it but it fell to the ground back from my ribs.
For a moment I was absent-minded what the fuck I forgot that I was still a skeleton so I don't have a stomach tried eating it again but the result was the same.
After 56 tries, I decided to take another approach using my teeth to chew but it could not I tried using meditation but I just sat there for hours till the next day.
After various methods including timing them to my ribs but nothing worked I kept them at one side as I look at the box and decided to take a look at the jewelry after all even know I try to take my eye off it was still attractive for some reason maybe it was the nature of this spice or just my womanly nature but I still did not refuse.
As I screeh through the box I saw so much magic jewelry like a red ring which had some ruine on it, a blue shining crystal and others but what caught my eye was neckless which had a golden eye with an Egyptian symbol on it I took it out look at it for a moment then put it on.
If not for anything but for the fact it had an Egyptian-like symbol that reminds me of the earth I would have to pause it no mind but after putting it on my mind became clear and many distractions were put away my body became freer and I felt that I had more energy as I was distracted but the change that happened I did not notice the eye of the necklaces which eye shined green came to life look all around under some min seconds and came back to normal without no one knowing.
