A few moments earlier

[You have Died!]

[Initiating System Life Saving Protocol!]

[Temporarily Force Unlocking Higher System Features!]

[God Powers Unlocked]

[Notice that it is a one-time feature and all the effects will have their own Side Effects on the user!]

[The user can choose to use only one of the three God Powers]

[God Power: Reverse Time]

[Using the Cronal Energy of the Universe Itself, the user can reverse time to a previous state. Note that the user can only reverse time up to where he had the ability to manipulate time.

Note: Because the user is too weak to use the power, the Stats and Skills of the user will return to where they used to be.]

I couldn't see anything yet I could feel what the system screen had.

There was complete darkness around yet everything on the screen was as bright as day.

It was hard to explain what I was experiencing, but it was like being in the light and darkness at the same time.

Though that wasn't important. What was important was that.. I had died.. or maybe I was supposed to.

'So there was an emergency protocol in case I died, huh?' I thought as I saw the huge System screen in front of me. It was at least a hundred times more than me and honestly, it was kind of overwhelming to look at.

It baffled me how much power the System held.. just where did it come from.. who was it that gave me this System? How much power did that being hold.. and how did he die in the end?

'Time Reverse?' I pondered over it for a while..

Going back is more or less giving me another chance, though looking at the description, I could only go back till where I received the System.

'Other than not going to the Dungeon, what other choices do I have? But then, how am I gonna get my Class? According to Erina, it was a stroke of luck that I found her.. or maybe bad luck in this case.. then what if it happens again?... They do say that fate brings us back to the same point no matter how many different paths we take.. and it's the universe we are talking about..'

The more I thought about it, the more I wondered if it would be really really okay to reverse time here?

'Let's check out the other powers,' I thought as I looked at the second God power.

[God Power: Temporal Pause!]

[Allows the user to pause time for others. All Stats will be stopped at the same points and there would never be any change in the System Status until the ability is used.

Notice: Once the God Power is undone, it can't be used for another 100 Days

Notice: Since the user isn't powerful enough, he can't use this ability for more than 3 days continuously]

'Skip,' I thought before moving to the next power. Why? Because it was an absurd thing to do.. Time Reverse was an even better option, in my opinion. I mean, it sure sounds nice to stop your opponent and try killing him for 10 days continuously but.. will I even be able to kill an opponent so strong?

It's more of a gamble, honestly. Let's see the last power. If it's anything like this one, might as well go with [Reverse Time]...

[God Power: Time Acceleration]

[Allows the user to accelerate his own time, in the direction he wants, using the power of the Universe.

Notice: Because the user is too weak, he can use this power for only 5 minutes.

Notice: Because the user is too weak, after he uses the ability, his powers will return to his previous state.]

"..." for a second I just looked at that power.. the third one.. To accelerate my own time? My eyes just keep looking at it.. or was I even using my eyes here? Anyways..

A smile bloomed so wide on my face that my lips might have touched my ears if it were in the outer world. I could only observe the [God Power] over and over again..

Why?

Because..

[You have chosen God Power: Time Acceleration]

[The Power of a God lies at your will!]

[Use it however you wish!]

'Thank you,' I thanked the System before I found myself on my last leg again.. I was about to die as usual.. it was hurting all over my chest. My body has more or less died and it was just my brain that was barely alive.

And then..

I began thinking..

And commanding..

[Accelerating the evolution of the Motor Sensory Cortex of the Brain!]

[Accelerating the evolution of Amygdala!]

[Accelerating the evolution of Genetic Composition of the body!]

[Finding an alternate source of the Circulatory System!]

[Evolving the blood vessels!]

[Blood Vessels have now gained the power of autorhythmicity!]

[Evolving the muscles..]

[Evolving the nerves..]

[Evolving the cartilages..]

[Differentiating the epidermal tissue..]

[Evolving..]

[De-differentiating..]

[Evolving..]

[Evolving..]

100s.. 1000s.. 10000s of messages flew all around me.. my body grew powerful every millisecond.

The evolutions which would have taken billions of years were being done in a flash

The first thing I evolved was my ability to think..

Then to store memory..

Then to grow..

Then to be able to handle the change..

And so on..

In the end..

My eyes opened up again.. I could still feel the breeze passing through my chest where that guy made a hole before ripping my heart out. Hmmm.. I should get my heart back first..

Even without my heart, my body has evolved enough to flow blood to all parts of my body without any problem.. but I guess having a heart will be better than not having one..

'Hmmm.. what is he doing?' I thought as I looked at him, almost going to take out the ring from Erina's hand.

And I moved.. the time slowed itself.. I wasn't using any skill this time.. I was just this fast now..historical

Moving in front of him, I stopped, and the time started flowing normally again..

"You don't force such a beautiful lady now, do you?" I smiled as I politely asked him. You won't find someone as polite as me now, would you?

"How are you.. even alive?" He asked as his eyes tried finding answers to that question. I just looked at his worried face with a slight satisfaction before speaking,

"Is that the first thing you should say to someone whose heart you just stole?"

Hearing my words, he looked in his hand at the dead heart which he had.

-Squash!

He crushed it immediately without any hesitation..

"Aw man! Now you crushed my heart into pieces. I'll be taking it back," I spoke as I moved again, time slowed again. I tore his arm from his body and stepped back to my original position and time flowed normally as his eyes widened, wondering what had just happened.

Taking out my crushed heart out of his clutches, I placed it in my chest again. My body began to grow out and take that heart in before

[Found a dead organ!]

[Converting the dead organ into nutrition!]

[Evolving the chest area!]

[De-differentiating the chest area!]

[Creating a rhythmic core box!]

[Redifferentiating the chest area!]

.

.

And another 1000s of messages flew in a blink of an eye before my chest became normal again.
