I continued to listen closely to the group in silence, planning my escape by breaking the chains with ease.
"3…2…1" I rushed forward, throwing myself towards the front in hopes that the chain would break.
What happened instead was i ate the ground, and the chains were still attached to my legs and arms.
"Ow" I stayed on the ground, and sighed, wondering just how unlucky i was to have spawned in this dungeon of all places.
Not only that, but all of my strength has just suddenly vanished.
...[ALL POWERS HAVE BEEN REMOVED, AS EACH STORY WILL BREAK IF YOU USE THE POWER FROM ONE STORY IN ANOTHER]...
A voice said in my head. This is a good way for me to communicate with the system i guess, But to basically force reset all of my power like this is kind of unfair...
(At least tell me how to find the Main character)
[YOU HAVE BEEN GIVEN THE SAME ADVANTAGE AS THE MAIN CHARACTER]
Does the system think i'm stupid or something? I meant how do i find the MC when there are millions of people who could end up being the person i need to find.
(If i lose all my power shouldn't there be something i gain from it at least?) I asked in my mind.
[That is correct, Although you lose all of your old powers, you are able to keep every advantage you gain]
(So what advantage do i have right now? I already reached the end of my story right? So i should have been given one)
[Correct, The advantage from your world is called 'Beyond the end' this allows you to stay and get more powerful even after a story has ended]
Odd, i would have thought the Advantage i would be given, would be related to reincarnation, since that was my ability, and the word was in the title of the story.
Was I not the main character? I suppose it makes sense.
(What do you mean by staying after a story ends? Isn't that always possible?)
[No, after a story ends it resets, It's a loop]
(So how many times has my story been reset?)
[It has never gotten reset]
Right, how could my story reset if the main character's power is to continue even after the story ends.
(Is that all 'beyond the end' does?)
[Yes]
I signed in disappointment. Don't get me wrong, it's a good thing to have but i don't need it yet.
(Wait, what advantage do i gain from this world then?) I almost forgot that i gain an advantage by simply entering a story.
[The advantage you have acquired is...' eye of chaos' an ability that unleashes a large, fearsome aura to stun all enemies for 5 seconds]
Not bad at all, an ability that stuns people will be good escaping, and looking cool.
[Due to the effects of Calamity, 'Eye of chaos' has been upgraded to 'Judge of Calamity' Judge of Calamity will stun everyone in a 7-meter radius and make them see their greatest fear, effectively dazing the opponent as well. However, this will only work if the opponent has their 'Malice bar' reach over 50%]
(Malice bar? So will i see a bar on a person from now on?)
[Yes, a bar will appear above the head of a person, and will indicate their malice]
Fair enough. I now have an even better version of an already Overpowered ability.
[Keep in mind, once you reach the end of this story, depending on what ending you get, 'Judge of calamity' will evolve]
(Got it)
Now i had to figure out how to break out of these chains. I repeatedly yanked the chains, and saw it slowly coming off of the wall.
I was much weaker, but thankfully not to the point that i was useless.
After a few more pulls i managed to break the chains off of the wall, although it was still attached to my legs and arm, at least i wasn't trapped in the room.
(Also how do i get to the ending of a story in the first place?)
[You must survive until the main character reaches the end. Of course, you are free to speed up the process by assisting the MC or even change the ending by making certain choices]
i heard whimpers, cries for help, near my location. Could it have been the demoness i overheard the group of adventurers talking about? I thought they took her already though?
I quietly passed the other empty dark cells, which had some rotten smell in it. For a game it seemed pretty realistic.
Finally, after turning a corner, i would find a cell that had a lady. She had two horns on her head for some reason, a stunning body, and for some reason she kept her eyes closed.
"Hello?" i knocked the cell door gently, But received no response. I sighed and just opened the cell door before entering the cell itself.
"Why are you here?" I asked while breaking the chains off. The chains seemed to be imbued with some magic of sorts, which confused me, but it should be just fine.
Once again, she didn't respond, she didn't even look at me. I sighed in annoyance, and planned to just leave right then and there, I'm sure she would be able to get out of this dungeon herself anyway.
"Look i really don't care if you stay silent, just get out of here safely" I said, turning around to go find the exit to the dungeon.
I left her alone, leaving her cell door open to let her leave. As i was about to leave this prison area, i happened to catch a glimpse of something shiny. Out of curiosity i went over to pick whatever i saw.
"A sword?" A sword being in a dungeon is no surprise. For all i knew, thousands of people could have come down here and died to a monster, leaving there weapons behind.
What i found odd was the fact that this sword had no rust at all, just stains of blood. It had some scratches here and there, but it didn't seem that old. Now that i think about it, a few minutes ago i was listening to a group of adventurers talk to each other...But where are they?
Wait, that lady had two horns, she was a demoness, that makes sense. But the clothing she wore... I could have sworn that it looked exactly like a trench coat, And her pants looked like jeans from what i saw.
I held the sword in my hands, i looked at it closely before glancing at its reflection.
"I see" I lowered the sword down, holding it tightly. She stood behind me holding a dark sword with a blade made up of multiple smaller blades. I felt no signs of magic in the air, even though a fantasy story always has some kind of magic.
This could mean two things: One is that there is actually no magic in this story, Or two, that this lady has no magic in which i would understand what role she plays in this story.
"Divine chaos" The moment she said those words, i felt an immense pressure. A dark aura had surrounded the surrounding area, i can't even move my arms or legs.
(Hey, how do i use my Judge of calamity?)
[To activate an advantage, you must first select a word or phrase to activate the advantage, then simply utter the words, and the advantage shall activate]
Simple enough. The overwhelming Dark aura was starting to really hit now, i was starting to feel a bit dizzy.
But it's a good trade. I become Dizzy for a few seconds, in exchange for knowing who the main character is. And if i want to get stronger, i need to get the best ending, and make sure the MC becomes as strong as possible so that 'Judge of calamity' also gets stronger.
I'll have to show her just how weak she is first.
"AWAKEN, CALAMITY!"
