Nightmare's Call Chapter 576 - God: Part 1

Chapter 576 G.o.d: Part 1

“Strengthening myself…” Pei Lin, or Giving Hope, lay on her bed, her thoughts and emotions running wild.She had been thinking a lot.

Since young, she had heard stories and rumours about man-eaters from others, but she thought nothing of it, and they were simply just exaggerating rumors.

But now…

“No! I need to do something!” She looked back at that moment and felt scared.

“I need to find the strength for self-preservation, so I can protect myself, and my family!” She had never felt such clarity if she had not been exposed to this.

But now, she was really scared.

“How can I find enough strength to protect myself?”

Pei Lin ran through her thoughts for a while, and turned her attention back to the Spectal Light.

Without a doubt, her friends in this mysterious communicator would be able to provide her some degree of help.

“I want to learn something that could strengthen myself… Can anyone help me please?” — Giving Hope.

“… I would like to help, but the things my family have cannot be sent through, and they won’t have any effect over your end. Even that tiny test circuit did not work at all, you’ve tried it yourself… The physical rules are different.” — Purple Time.

“My system is not for you.” — Processed Jewel.

“Unfortunately, you are too old, and it will be a little too late for you to start training. With your strength, you should be able to take on normal people, but based on what you said happened earlier, I can’t help you.” — Red Whale.

“Powers beyond mortals are not that easy to obtain. You need to breakthrough the limits of your kind, and those who can breakthrough that, are those with excellent talents and physique. Also, you are too old now, and without any proper training foundation prior, it is already too late.” — Swordweb.

“I could teach you, but at most it’ll make you a little stronger than you are now. If you’re up against the kind of opponents you had described… sorry…” — Ascension.

A series of detailed enquires followed and no one said anything more in the chat room.

Pei Lin was extremely dejected.

But she did not have any particularly powerful traits to her, while she may be a looker, it did not mean that her body was suitable for training, it only meant that her facial features suited her well.

As she kept asking, no one in the ground spoke anymore.

Everyone said nothing.

There was about ten people in total, aside from a few that had a good relations.h.i.+p with Pei Lin, the rest were silent.

This had Pei Lin extremely frustrated.

During lunch, she sat on the lunch table and held her chopsticks in a stupor. So much so that her parents thought that she was sick, and pushed her back to her room to rest.

There was no one to help her, the rules between worlds were different, and plus she had not undergone any special training to build her foundations. Not to mention her rather normal traits.

That resulted in Pei Lin having a powerful communicator like the Spectral Light without any means for her to strengthen herself.

The chat group had fell into silence.

And no one spoke again.

Pei Lin’s life had returned to the previous normalcy as if the earlier incident had never happened.

Time slowly pa.s.sed, and in a flash, a couple of days had pa.s.sed.

The incident slowly faded away in Pei Lin’s life.

Her emotions had calmed down somewhat, and no longer felt the urgency in her search for strength.

Only that after school, she would furiously train herself in the boxing club.

Her frenzied and almost desperate training regime did not bring her much improvement, but instead caused her muscles and joints to wear to varying degrees.

The members of the boxing club were frightened by the desperate att.i.tude shown by their vice president and dared not speak out loud as they silently enhanced their training.

While Pei Lin was not the best fighter in the club, the only person who could beat her is the vice president.

In reality, the president had used his natural physical talent, strength and toughness to forcibly suppress her.

If it was up to technique and explosiveness, Pei Lin was the big boss of the boxing club.

And this peaceful life, lasted for over a week.

And Pei Lin thought that the peace would last until the end of time.

Yet, reality was a cruel mistress.

By accident, Pei Lin saw a student from her school, as if hypnotized walked into a narrow alley automatically and never came out of it.

The next day, she heard rumors that someone from her school had gone missing.

Even the police had came to the school as they began their investigation.

If it was the past, she would not have noticed these details.

After all, seeing a student going into a small alley, who knows if that person was just taking a short cut home?

And who would have remembered if the missing student was the same person that she saw.

But Pei Lin had paid attention to this incident by accident.

And she soon found out that the missing student was the same male student that had walked into the alley the day before.

So, her sense of crisis that had slowly faded came roaring back.

That night, as she got home, she burst into tears while taking a shower in the bathroom.

She dared not alarm her parents about the unbelievable incident that had happened to her, and at this level, even if they were to find out, it would only cause panic.

So she could only hide the matter in her heart, and dared not talk to anyone.

The next day, she once again asked questions in the group on how to strengthen herself.

Yet no one responded after a long while.

As soon as she brought the question up, no one said anything.

Pei Lin went through every single acquaintances individually, but no one could help her.

After realizing the situation in her world, and the extent of the Corpsedemons, everyone fell silent.

“Actually, there’s still another way.” — Purple Time.

Suddenly, someone spoke.

“What is it?” — Giving Hope.

Pei Lin was elated, perhaps there was a way for her to strengthen herself?

“You can find a powerful husband and marry him, then you won’t need to be afraid anymore right?” — Purple Time.

It was just a joke.

Purple Time had seen Pei Lin being so stressed out and wanted to ease her mood.

But she never expected that…

Pei Lin who had been suppressing all of her emotions, a switch in her was flicked, as her emotions exploded out.

She squatted alone in the corner, as she buried her face in her long hair, she could no longer hold her tears in as they burst like a breached dike.

“Is there really no one who can help me?” — Giving Hope.

She typed that one last time.

There was nothing but silence.

Breaking through the limit of one’s mortal flesh was not an easy feat.

Aside from the worries of different rules of the world, mostlikely people would be reluctant to be dragged into more troubles just for a chat room friend.

Even when Processed Jewel was willing to set up the positional teleportation for her, that was an extremely rare gesture.

But a first did not mean there would be a second.
