Free Web NovelChapter 81: Amazing Stuffs Comes With Pain
Nobody’s unconscious body appeared inside his room.
THUD.
Ren gently placed him onto the bed. The rabbit coach looked at the green veins spreading across Nobody’s body.
The poison was still active. Still spreading. Still fighting to consume him.
Ren sighed. "You really got yourself into trouble this time, Bowlcut."
Nobody didn’t respond. His body trembled violently. His breathing was unstable. The poison from Demoness Aconite was unlike anything he had ever faced. Even unconscious his face twisted in agony.
Ren remained silent for several seconds. Then turned toward the door. "Now then..I’ll leave the rest to you."
The system appeared.

[UNDERSTOOD]

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Ren nodded.
Blue pixels gathered around him.
FLASH.
He vanished. Leaving Nobody alone.
The room became silent for a moment.
Then....
"AAAAAAAGHHHHHHH!!" Nobody’s body arched upward violently. His scream echoed throughout the room. Green veins spread across his neck. His arms and chest. The poison was attacking every part of him.
The system immediately appeared.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
[WARNING]
User Is Heavily Poisoned
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Minor Healing Applied
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
A warm glow covered his body. Some wounds healed. Some pain faded.
Yet the poison remained. It was far too powerful.
Nobody continued screaming. "AAAAAAHHHHHH!!"
The healing wasn’t enough to remove the poison. Only enough to keep him alive.
The system continued monitoring him.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
[User’s Body Is Attempting To Resist Poison]
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
The green veins continued spreading. Yet something unexpected happened. The poison stopped advancing slightly.
Only slightly.
But enough for the system to notice.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
[Resistance Detected]
( ˶°ㅁ°) !!
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Day One passed.
Nobody never woke up. His body remained trapped between healing and poison.
The poison destroyed and the healing repaired.
Again.
And again.
And again.
Throughout the entire day.
The cycle repeated endlessly.
Then....
Day Two.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
[User Resisting Poison Slightly]
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Nobody remained unconscious. His body burned with fever. Sweat soaked his bed. Green energy occasionally escaped from his skin. The poison continued trying to claim him. Yet his body kept adapting. Fighting back little by little.
The system kept observing.

[Vitality Increased]
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Nobody continued suffering. Yet his body became stronger.
Every hour and every day, the poison acted like a brutal training partner.
Trying to kill him and forcing his body to evolve.
Day Three.
"AAAAAGHHHHHH!" His screams echoed again.
Blossom Bunny sat beside the bed. Watching worriedly. The small companion couldn’t do anything. It simply remained there. Waiting and protecting.
Occasionally placing tiny flowers beside Nobody’s pillow. "Atta..."
The system continued monitoring.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
[Poison Resistance Increased]
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Poison Resistance Lv.1
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
The poison immediately reacted. It became more aggressive. The veins darkened. The pain intensified.
Nobody’s body trembled violently. Yet..he survived.
Day Four.
Day Five.
Day Six.
The cycle never ended.
Suffering and healing. Adaptation and improvement.
Again and again.
Again and again.
By Day Seven....
the system had become almost impressed.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
[User Continues Resisting Poison]
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Poison Resistance Lv.2
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Nobody’s body looked thinner. More refined. His muscles had become denser. His bones stronger. His endurance far greater. Though he remained unconscious.
The improvements continued.
Day Eight.
The poison began losing ground. Not much. But enough.
The green veins no longer spread as rapidly.
The system noted the change.

The notifications continued endlessly. If Nobody had been awake he would have celebrated.
Unfortunately....
he remained busy screaming in his sleep. "AAAAAAAHHHHHHH!"
Blossom sighed. "Atta..."
Day Nine.
Day Ten.
Day Eleven.
Day Twelve.
The poison continued fighting. Nobody continued surviving. Neither side gave up. The battle happening inside his body became a war of attrition.
A battle of endurance and stubbornness.
Day Thirteen.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Poison Resistance Lv.3
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
The system paused briefly.
Then added another notification.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
[Achievement Progress Detected]
User Has Survived A National-Level Poison
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Even the system seemed surprised. Most people would have died within hours. Nobody had survived nearly two weeks.
Day Fourteen.
The poison weakened further. The green veins slowly began fading.
Day Fifteen.
His breathing stabilized. The screams became less frequent. The healing finally began outpacing the poison.
After a long time, victory seemed possible.
Then....
Day Sixteen.
The system suddenly lit up.
Multiple windows appeared.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
After a long time in sixteen days the room became quiet. Nobody’s body finally relaxed. The violent trembling stopped. The green veins faded significantly. His breathing became normal. The poison wasn’t completely gone. But it no longer dominated him. The war had changed.
Now his body was winning.
Blossom Bunny immediately noticed. The small companion jumped onto the bed. "Atta!"
The system appeared once more.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
[User Condition Stabilized]
Estimated Time Until Awakening:
Unknown
Survival Probability:
99%
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
For sixteen days.... Nobody had fought a battle he never even saw. And somehow against all logic he had survived with his NPC body.
"...Ugh." Nobody’s eyes slowly opened. The ceiling of his room came into view. For several seconds he simply stared upward. He was confused. Then memories came flooding back.
Aconite, the poison, Ren, the throne room and the giant stingers.
Nobody immediately sat upright. "GAH!" He grabbed his head with one hand. His body felt very strange. "...Man...Did I not die?"
The system instantly appeared.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
[Congratulations]
User Is Alive ◝(ᵔᗜᵔ)◜
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Nobody stared at the screen. "...Yo..Missed your roasting, system." He slowly got off the bed. His legs felt steady.
Actually..better than steady. He felt lighter. Much lighter than before as if weights he never knew existed had been removed.
Nobody clenched his fist. The muscles in his arm tightened instantly. "...Huh."
He punched the air.
FWOOOSH.
The sound surprised him. "Wait. That punch felt faster." He moved his shoulders and rotated his neck.
Jumped once.
THUD.
Then jumped again.
This time he almost hit the ceiling. "...Okay. Something definitely changed."
The system appeared again.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
[Physical Improvements Confirmed]
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Nobody blinked. "...No way."
He immediately grabbed his torn, bloodstained shirt. The shirt had practically become rags after everything he went through.
He pulled it open. Then looked down.
Then..he was stunned.
"..."
"...WHAT?!"
There were muscles. Actual visible muscles. His stomach now had defined abs.
Not one.
Not two. A full set of six-pack abs.
Nobody poked one.
Then another.
"They are real?!" He immediately ran toward the mirror.
THUD.
THUD.
THUD.
He stopped in front of it. Then froze.
The reflection staring back wasn’t quite the same Nobody. He looked taller. His shoulders were broader. His body looked more athletic. Months of training compressed into days. Even his hair had changed. The old bowlcut that Ren constantly mocked was mostly gone. His black hair had grown longer and looked less ridiculous. It framed his face better. Giving him a surprisingly cool appearance.
Nobody stared. The mirror stared back. Nobody leaned closer. "....Damn." He pointed at himself. "Is that me?"
The reflection pointed back.
Nobody’s jaw dropped. "Did I just get a glow-up?!"
The system appeared.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
[Confirmed]
User Appearance Has Improved
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Nobody gasped. "The system agrees!" He immediately struck several poses.
Flex. Double flex. Hero pose. Crowbar pose. Dramatic anime protagonist pose.
Blossom Bunny suddenly popped out of the system. "Atta!" The bunny looked at him. Then tilted its head.
Nobody immediately pointed at himself. "Blossom...Be honest. Am I handsome now?"
Blossom stared for several seconds. Then slowly nodded. "Atta."
Nobody grabbed his chest dramatically. "Oh my God! The bunny confirmed it."
He turned back toward the mirror. A proud smile appeared on his face.
After sixteen days of agony. After surviving Aconite’s poison. After nearly dying. He had somehow unlocked the greatest reward imaginable.
A glow-up. "...Wait till Ren sees this."
And somewhere in the tutorial chamber....
Ren suddenly sneezed.
"Why do I feel like Bowlcut is about to become even more annoying?"
