Immortality System: The Last Human's Transmigration

28 My First Death



‘I’m not going to be the one who dies today… 8 points into strength!’

When its mouth had finally fully opened, I could see my vision narrowing and becoming stretched while everything other than my target became unfocused and blurry.

An unconscious grin stretched from the corner of my mouth and my hand tightened around the item I held.

‘YOU ARE!’ I roared within my hand and through a wooden stake with all the power and energy I could muster.

Suddenly, a red crimson aura exploded out of my body and enveloped the stake, and even though I was not on the other end of it, I for some reason knew that it was going to be a lot deadlier than it was before.

The stake ripped through the air before colliding with the sound wave of the roar, yet to both our surprises it did not stop there.

The stake, while having collided with the sound wave, still pushed forwards until it ripped through it and began to descend towards the throat of the T-rex.

I could see its eyes widen and the desperateness seep into its eyes as it tried to close its maw as fast as it could, yet before it could chomp down and close its maw, a wooden stake entered its mouth and plunged deep into the back of its throat.

I was immediately exhilarated, yet it was then that it had happened.

*BOOOM*

I felt a sharp pain shoot out from my ears indicating that my eardrums had been torn. I felt the sensation of having my face stretched back and almost torn due to the pressure thrown at it. I felt the blunt yet brain-rattling pains of bones from my legs to my nose being shattered.

Pops resounded in the area as if announcing the breaking of my bones, yet I could hear none of it. And even if I could have heard it, I would have been deafened and blinded by the pain shooting throughout my body.-.

I wanted to scream, find a way to nullify this pain yet it was all for naught.

My vocal cords seemed to have been completely destroyed, therefore making my screams only audible to my own mind.

The dread was slowly seeping in.

It was the same dread I felt right before being pierced through the heart back on Earth… Or if I can even call it that anymore.

I couldn’t think because my mind was becoming blank from the pain that had almost knocked me out of consciousness. Yet even then, I held and held on with a single phrase pushing me forward, telling me to fight this drowsiness that I knew would only take me into an eternal slumber.

‘Survive.’ I heard crystal tell me again and again.

It was no longer some kind of phrase I would remember every now and then… It was an order that I would religiously recite to never forget again.

I lay there in the middle of shattered and broken trees, unable to listen to my own wails due to my eardrums and vocal cords being completely destroyed.

My breathing had become close to nonexistent ever since I had started to feel the blood slowly trickle into my lungs, making me conclude that I would eventually drown in my blood.

With the rest of my diminishing energy, I forced a single eye open.

The only thing I could see was my vision gradually turning red as if they were being enveloped in this red cacoon.

It was like I was getting tunnel vision but instead of the sides being blurry or black, they were this beautiful bloody crimson.

I did not dare blink since I knew it would be the last of me.

I did not dare look away from the sky which looked down upon us creatures, fighting for what seemed like a pointless battle.

A battle for survival that it could not understand.

As the sky looked down at us, I could not help but peer into the depths of the immaculate skies.

The sun had not risen yet so it was still dark, yet I could still see the warm orange slowly taking over from the corner of my eye.

The stars shone brightly like tiny little pieces of glitter, yet at the same time, their beauty was something comparable to that of diamonds.

I could still see the moon shining down with its stunning lunar light. Of course, all I saw was the crimson mix of the silver light, yet I did not doubt that it would have been the most beautiful I’d ever see.

‘Maybe death isn’t so bad after all…’ I told myself, a tear barely trickling out of my eye.

‘I’m sorry Crystal, Mom, Dad, Emily… You too, dumbass.’ I tried to chuckle when thinking of my best friend who had died in the pursuit of finding my parents.

‘You won’t be angry with me if I die, right Mom?’ I tried to cry

‘Dad… I am sorry I failed you… Why did you have to have such a failure as a son? Why did I have to be the one you would let your legacy live upon.’ The tears that came out of my eyes felt like scorching hot magma, yet I couldn’t even think about that while the images and memories of my parents, girlfriend, sister, and best friend flashed in my eyes.

‘I’m sorry that I failed all of you.’

I once again looked into the deep blue sky and wondered… Wondered what my life would have been like if this catastrophe hadn’t happened.

‘Goodbye… Wo…rl…d’

My eyelids felt heavy and began to shut by themselves.

My life flashed before my eyes. Every good, bad, grief-full, exciting memory replayed within my mind. It reminded me of everyone I lost and everyone I cherished.

‘At least I had a good life.’

These were the last words I could think of before my eyes shut and everything turned black.

“Your time has not come yet… Immortal”

“Awaken, and you shall never truly die again”
