Arjun gasped for air.
He quickly sat up and touched his chest.
The wound… was gone.
"What…?" he whispered.
The forest around him was the same.
The moon was still shining.
But his friends were nowhere to be seen.
Suddenly a red screen appeared in front of him.
Arjun jumped back in shock.
Words slowly appeared on the screen.
[Immortality System Activated]
Arjun stared at it in disbelief.
"What is this…?"
More text appeared.
[Ability: Resurrection]
You will return to life every time you die.
Arjun's hands began shaking.
"I… can't die?"
The system continued.
Each death will increase your strength.
Arjun's eyes widened.
Memories of betrayal flashed through his mind.
Rohan's smile.
The knife.
The pain.
His expression slowly changed.
Anger burned inside his chest.
"They killed me…"
His fists tightened.
"But I came back."
The red screen glowed brighter.
[New Objective]
Survive. Grow stronger.
Arjun looked into the dark forest.
A faint, dangerous smile appeared on his face.
"Next time…"
"I won't be the one dying."
