Chapter 2778 - 2779: Volcanic Rise

I became obsessed with reading the book anyway. I ran back to my room and started reading it all over again.

I read it while in the bathroom, while eating, and while I was running around the house and swinging my sword with the other recruits who were training out there.

I wanted to grasp Yeon Jinʼs struggles, his past, and how he managed to achieve Martial Mastery.

Although I have many privileges, it is not as if my life has not been painful.

My mother was attacked, and she was sealed, while I was thrown into the void and fell into a world, turning into a bug.

Iʼve been struggling the entire time to find a place to call home, to find a place where I could belong.

At the same time, Iʼve struggled against many odds, as if the world was truly against me.

Hahah...

How ridiculous.

Me, someone at the level of cosmic beings, is studying the struggles of a small human who lived thousands of years ago almost obsessively.

I... a great being...

...Great being?

No.

I should not think like that.

From now on, that Kireina is dead.

I am going to rewrite myself and start anew.

I will step forward into a new form, a new ”me.”

I cannot continue embracing my own pride and selfishness and these accomplishments as if they are what define me.

Because ultimately, I would only be a frog in a well.

I have to leap out and realize how small I truly am and how much I need to grow.

Therefore, in my eyes, as someone who always received help to get somewhere, Yeon Jin was actually much greater than me.

He was, without a doubt, an admirable man and someone I wish I could meet.

The system will still be there, and I will not abandon it.

But as Wasp said, it is an artifact far beyond my current realm, one I will ignore for now, as I polish myself to reach higher realms with effort instead of the easy way.

Only through relentless effort and by building willpower, muscle, and life force will I finally attain a higher level of strength.

One that can help me achieve my goals and get somewhere in life.

And as I read obsessively and practiced like a madwoman through the night...

I felt a small light emanating from my fists.

A faint, white light.

”Young lady, you do not have classes with me today. It should be with Medea today.”

”I know, Iʼll go to her in a bit, but I wanted to have another spar with you, Wasp.”

”...”

Wasp analyzed me for a moment, raising an eyebrow.

This was the first time he had ever shown any emotion aside from that time he laughed when I showed him my talent.

I had always thought he was an unfeeling, twisted psychopath, but there were more layers to his existence than I had ever imagined.

Although he still would not really hesitate to kill innocents for a goal, and he might even enjoy the act of killing, which he calls ”hunting,” there are other things about him.

And I know that among them is Martial Arts, it is one of his greatest passions, and... I think I can finally get to his dark, cold heart with it.

I am not just doing my best for myself... to spare him and everyone else from their dark futures, I have to help them redeem themselves, at least to an extent.

Iʼve done my best with my father, but Wasp and the rest remain...

As someone who grew up with them and has grown to love them as my family... I cannot just let them succumb to their fate.

A fate that, as I continued practicing, I could see more clearly.

The people in this world have much stronger fates than those outside. These fates are tied to certain events in their lives.

And Waspʼs fate...

Is death by Frankʼs hands.

”Hmph, very well, letʼs see what you have achieved, young lady. I will give you an hour, show me... your talent.”

”I will.”

I stepped into his Inner Domain once more, as we appeared in the middle of a rocky wasteland, surrounded by deserts. In the distance, I could see mountains and jungles, and even a large oasis.

Is this the place where he lived?

From what I learned from my father, Inner Domains are representations of a personʼs past, experiences, and life.

They shape themselves based on these experiences and their lives...

Sometimes they embody a place they once lived in or that they yearn to return to.

Frankensteinʼs Inner Domain is like that.

And Waspʼs Inner Domain, too, is like that.

”Now.”

Wasp glared at me with his eyes turning red.

”I will attack you, and you will show me what you have learned... Do not disappoint me.”

”I will not.”

RUMBLE!

Wasp began immediately, shattering the floor beneath him as he blitzed toward me, his insectoid claws rushing toward my face.

And then, I quickly moved.

I knelt and then pushed my fists upward with all my strength.

My lost family.

My beloved ones.

My memories.

My bonds.

All the things I lost and all the things I have won.

I put them all into my fists and punched Wasp with all I had.

BOOOM!

”...?!”

Wasp was shocked as an explosion of golden-red essence erupted from my body.

It was almost like...

”Sunlight?”

But there was also something else.

”And Blood?”

Wasp looked at his own arms. They were a bit more wounded now, although not yet bleeding.

He looked at me with shock.

”Second Form, Volcanic Rise!” I said while furrowing my eyebrows. ”What do you think, Wasp?!”

”...Heh,” he suddenly smiled again.

It was not a wicked smile. It was not a smile that a psychopath would give to me.

It was a smile... full of bright emotions.

Wait, emotions?

Since when could I see emotions like this?

It was weird...

I could see strange colors oozing from his heart.

”So you can see it now, huh?”

”What?”

”Welcome to Martial Mastery, young lady. What you are seeing now is my Heart Essence, part of the Consciousness that one can develop and cultivate,” Wasp explained.
