I'm Actually Not Overpowered!

Chapter 136 Back To The Past... Again

I woke up, noticing the comfortable squishy feeling of my mattress as I looked around me.

I was back in my room, back in the frontier settlement. The walls were tent-like. It made sense, considering the fact that we were yet to build actual houses, at this point.

"I transported to a few days after Lilith invaded. We're still in the process of increasing security and strengthening the fences...'

Rising from my bed, I put on my Flip Flops and proceeded out of the room.

"The roads haven't been tiled yet, and the expansion is still in progress. I see there's a lot that hasn't been done yet."

Comparing the image of what the settlement looked like in the future with its current state made me realize just how much progress we had made in the now-forgotten timeline.

'I had no choice, though...' Feeling the early morning breeze wash over me, I closed my eyes and inhaled deeply.

The fresh air was so pure, incomparable to the stifling one I had to take in just moments ago.

Nostalgia and desire squirmed within me as I watched the tents perk up. Sarah stayed in the closest tent to me--that made it much easier to sleep at night.

'I want to see them... I want to see all of them.' My heart raced with excitement and impatience.

All my comrades who died, all my subordinates whom I failed. Everyone who awaited my return... I wanted to see them!

"Calm yourself, Sam. There's a lot to think about. There's also a lot to do."

Slowly, a smile formed on my face. An expression of relief, and eyes that sparkled with certainty, surely.

"It's two weeks till the invasion, enough time to prepare."

There were many reasons for my failure in the past, but that was simply because of the unavailability of more time, and the my personal weakness--both of which had been solved.

It was the best moment to take action.

"With my current abilities, and with the time at my disposal... I won't lose!"

Full morning arrived.

The sun rose, the bright and energetic sound soft people flourished, and everyone was set to begin their activities.

As Sarah came to report to me in my room, I told her to gather EVERYONE for an announcement from me.

She readily agreed and zoomed off to begin her first task for the day.

Even though I felt the Priestess was always too enthusiastic when it came to orders from me, I couldn't help but feel happy to see her that way.

'I've missed her.' A smile unconsciously formed on my face.

It would take some time before Sarah would gather everyone, so the best thing to do--at least, given the circumstances--was to check my Status Window.

"Status Win--"

'A-ah!' My eyes instantly widened, remembering a crucial factor.

I was yet to collect my additional Rewards for defeating the nine Demon Generals.

"Yes. Let's see the rewards!"

[End Of Information]

"Looks like no extra Skills or Titles were dispensed. Mostly Karmic Value and Stst Points." I muttered, critically examining the glowing panel.

It was understandable, considering I wasn't in an extremely difficult situation with the Demon Generals. I could still flee, or pick them off one at a time.

They were only a threat when they were together, and I was so lucky they didn't know how to work as a proper team.

'I would have been screwed if that was the case.'

In any case, since I had gone over all my Rewards, it was time to see my current state.

"I'm so happy the System of this world works this way." A wide grin formed on my face.

Not only did I get increase in Levels and Stat Points as I completed Quests and slayed stuff, but simply by fighting and exerting myself, I could increase my primary stats.

"I'm excited for what I'm gonna see next."

"This is perfect."

I was just as strong as a powerful Upper-Class Demon. My goals had far been surpassed.

"In my current state, it's possible to achieve my mission. But first... there's something to do first."

I looked at my System Panel and found exactly what I was looking for.
