Chapter 32 Appraissal
[Ding]
[Notice: You have been idle for 6 hours and 01 minutes]
This time I did not bother opening my eyes since I could already see the screen without doing so.
I could argue or complain that it was a little too bright for my fragile eyes that hadn't seen light for 30 minutes, but I did not see the point in doing so.
I was feeling empty and dark thoughts were already filling up my mind.
I had this feeling that I would never be capable of finding happiness again, and once again, I found myself opening my eyes and staring at the ground under me that still had the faint wet marks which were the only traces of my tears.
'Maybe I should just end it all?' I asked myself while my eyes drifted towards the sky, eventually forcing me to squint due to its brightness.
'They are all dead... Why does it matter if I die?' I used my right hand to push me off the floor, allowing me to spring up and finally stand on my two feet for the first time in 6 hours.
They were a bit numb, yet at that moment nothing really mattered to me. With listless eyes, I began walking toward the entrance of the skull before using all the strength in my legs to climb up it.
Taking a few detours and shortcuts, my feet finally touched the top of the skull, allowing me to slowly turn around and face the endless drop which was the cliff.
My eyes did not waver from the edge of the cliff for a moment as the determination within my eyes burned brightly. I just wanted to see my family again. I just wanted to see Crystal, and Alex again. Why did fate have to go this way? Why did they all die while I survived?
I had so much to live for yet now that they are dead, I feel so empty.
My foot had finally hovered over the cliff, ready to jump off when finally, a realization hit me.
'What if I die and have to go through the same pain once again, just to be rebirthed into this world to die over and over again?!' I pondered as hesitation reached my feet, causing both of them to get planted into the ground.
"For god sake." I sighed with exasperation at the fact that my body was so determined to not budge.
However, even the system seemed to not believe me as in the next moment, I watched it create a screen in front of me which read-
[Unknown energy had been detected within you]
[Please check your stats screen to allocate points]
'Hmm?' I mild amount of curiosity began to control me, and even though I did not want to admit it, this was the thing I was waiting for the whole time.
I was desperately trying to find a reason to survive, and now that I've seen a glimpse of hope flash before my eyes, I was hooked to it. My life literally depended on what I was about to see.
"Status." I spoke out loud rather than my usual whisper, causing my voice to come out raspy and croaky due to me not having used it for so long, or technically not at all in this body.
[Status

Skill(s): Appraisal (Lvl 1)
Blessing(s): Chrono's Blessing ]
"Can I not check what the titles or blessings mean or do? I mean, the least you can do is tell what the hell any of this means. I am not a psychic you know." I crossed my arms and tried to let out a chuckle.
[Please say 'Appraisal' followed by stating what you would like to appraise.]
"Uhm... Appraisal Chronos' blessing"
[Appraisal level is too low to appraise blessings]
"Then why would you give me the option to..." I almost facepalmed, but I quickly held myself back and moved on to the next unknown.
"Appraisal Unique Trait"
[Unique Trait: A trait that only one person can have. However, this can range from being only one person on a planet, in a solar system, in a galaxy, or in a whole section of a universe if not the only person in the universe to you that trait.]
I read the words that popped up carefully and quickly moved on to the next word that would have answered my questions.
"Appraisal Evolver"
[Appraisal level is too low to appraise the unique trait Evolver]
[System's data has come back with a positive file on the unique trait evolver]
[Evolver: a unique trait created specifically for the user of the Immortality System. This Unique Trait allows its carrier to evolve every time it dies, making it more difficult for them to die the same way it had done previously.]
'Did it just call me an 'it'? Do I look like some kind of animal to you?' I shouted within my mind and even though I knew that it was very unlikely for me to receive a response, I still let out a victory smile when I heard no response as if I had left the system speechless and frozen in its tracks due to my immaculate use of words.
"Appraisal Awakened Human." I said out loud, half expecting it to not give me an answer.
[Awakened human: one of the several human races that have awakened mana within their systems from birth. They are the most versatile human race as every feature of their being changes and forms to create something new after every ascension of a plane.]
"Appraisal Ascension"
[Appraisal level is too low]
'Damnit!'
"Appraisal Immortality Token"
[Immortality Token: is a token that allows the wielder to be resurrected from death with the only sacrifice being the token. Tokens can be gained through missions, accomplishments, and overall system merits/achievements. Other functions have been locked temporarily.]
"And finally... Appraisal, Transgressor of Time"
[Appraisal level is too low to appraise titles]
