"Shit… that hurts," Henry muttered, wincing as he cradled the side of his head. He pushed himself up with trembling arms, the damp ground cold against his skin.
His vision swam. Tall, looming trees circled him like silent watchers, their gnarled branches stretching overhead. Smoke curled lazily in the distance, drifting from beyond the tree line. Each breath Henry took, burned his lungs and left the coppery taste of blood on his tongue. He coughed, then steadied himself. "Where the hell… am I, Didn't the truck hit me?" As he shifted to stand, his eyes dropped and froze. Green feet, not human green, sickly unnatural green. Filthy toenails clawed out from leathery skin, cracked and caked with grime. "What the....?!" Henry scrambled backward in panic. His heel caught on a root, and he crashed to the ground. But the grotesque feet followed him because they were his. "No… no way." His voice trembled as he sat up, slowly lifting one foot, then the other. Calloused soles, hardened skin and long, skeletal toes. With rising dread, he dragged his hands across his legs, his chest, his arms. The skin was tight, rough, stretched over a bony frame starved of strength. His ribs jutted out beneath his fingers. When he reached his head, he found it bare, bald, smooth and foreign. "What… what am I?" Suddenly, a sharp pain speared through his skull. He collapsed with a cry, gripping his head as a storm of images and voices burst into his mind, fragments that weren't his, unknown faces, strange languages. He writhed in the dirt until, as quickly as it came, the pain faded. Gasping for breath, he opened his eyes.Slowly the memories settled in his head and he descoverd what has happened to him A glowing blue screen hovered before him. [Status] [Name: Henry] [Race: Goblin] [Class: Marksman] [SP: 0] [Level: 1] [EXP: 0/100] [Evolution Crystal:0] [HP: 15/15] [Strength: 10] [Agility: 10] [Stamina: 10] [Vitality: 10] [Skills: Locked] Henry blinked. "So ... I died on earth and was reincarnated into blue online!" It was real, the screen, the status. Blue Online. The full-dive VR game he'd obsessed over. Except this wasn't just a game anymore. It was too vivid, too raw. "Nuela....." Henry whispered with a sad expression on his face and then a smile slowly tugged at his lips. "No more school… no more bullies… I've been reincarnated with powers!." He jumped to his feet and pointed at a brick lying nearby. "Alright, let's test this earth bending, go!" Nothing. He frowned. "Okay… wind control!" Still nothing. He tried everything he could remember from his time in the game, fire magic, healing chants, shadow manipulation. Not even a spark. "What the hell? This system is garbage!" he growled. The screen popped back up at his frustrated thoughts, but this time, new details caught his eye. [Evolution Crystal: 0/10] [Skills: Locked] [Quests: None active] He studied the screen more carefully now. 'So the creature I was reincarnated into doesn't have any skill' he thought grimly. 'And if I want power... I have to earn it now.' To get stronger, he'd need to evolve literally. Collect crystals, complete quests, level up and Survive.This was no longer a game. It was survival. "Damm, no respawn" he muttered, then turned toward the smoke in the distance. The wind shifted and the scent hit him first, burnt wood, scorched flesh. He followed it cautiously, weaving between twisted trees until the camp came into view. Makeshift huts were being brought down with smoke erupting from the top. Charred bodies littered the ground, twisted in their final moments. "So this is how death feels like" Henry muttered as he scanned the camp with his eyes. In the distance, something moved, his eyes narrowed. Just beyond the camp, in a small clearing, three creatures darted about furred, agile, unaware of his presence. "Form the memories I got, I could tell this are the wolves that destroyed the golbins camp''Latest Chapter
Chapter 189 Can't Let Go
The moment Henry and Vorden stepped into the first training ground, the lively atmosphere changed so suddenly that it almost felt unnatural. Henry instinctively slowed his pace after noticing the unusual silence surrounding them. He glanced from one side of the arena to the other, only to find countless students staring in their direction with expressions ranging from curiosity to annoyance. Feeling the strange pressure of so many gazes focused on him at once, he leaned slightly toward Vorden before whispering, "Shit... why is everyone looking at us?" His voice remained calm, but even he couldn't hide his growing confusion.Vorden awkwardly rubbed the back of his neck while scanning the training ground for anything that might explain the strange reaction. Every student seemed to be watching them as though they had walked into somewhere forbidden, yet neither of them remembered breaking any rules since entering the academy. "I honestly don't know," he admitted quietly. "But all these
Chapter 188 Upper Class
"Why did they leave?" Henry asked, unable to shake the question from his mind. Emma, Silver, and even Jaxon had suddenly disappeared without saying a word. The entire situation felt strange, especially since they had all entered the library together only a short while earlier.Vorden scratched the side of his cheek while thinking carefully about how to answer. Truthfully, he wasn't completely certain either, but based on everything he had witnessed inside the library, he believed he had a fairly good idea of what had happened."I don't really know for sure," Vorden admitted honestly. "But I think the girls are crushing on you. The moment Lucy hugged you... and then kissed you... they looked jealous before walking away."Henry blinked in complete disbelief."Crushing on me?"The words sounded so absurd that he couldn't immediately process them. He slowed his pace slightly while replaying everything that had happened since arriving at the academy. Emma had certainly acted differently la
Chapter 187 Let Her Know
"What's the good news, Vorden?" Henry asked curiously, folding his arms across his chest while keeping his voice low enough not to disturb the peaceful silence of the library. Judging by the excitement shining in Vorden's eyes, this wasn't something ordinary. It was the kind of expression Vorden only wore whenever he stumbled upon a secret or discovered information that could change everything they thought they knew.Vorden opened his mouth with an eager smile, clearly unable to contain himself any longer. "Well, you see..." he began enthusiastically, leaning closer so nobody else would overhear the conversation. Before another word could leave his mouth, however, a calm feminine voice suddenly whispered directly into his ear."Are you two here to read... or here to gossip?""Ah!" Vorden yelped in surprise, nearly jumping several steps backward. Every hair on his body stood upright as he spun around so quickly that he almost lost his balance. His eyes darted wildly around the nearby b
Chapter 186 The Good News
Just as the girl called Henry's name, everyone in the library froze in surprise. Jaxon, Emma, Silver, and Vorden all turned toward the young woman standing near one of the bookshelves. Henry himself blinked twice before recognition filled his face. Although several weeks had passed since they had last met, her appearance had barely changed. The familiar smile, the bright eyes, and the confident way she stood immediately brought back memories from the village he had once helped save."Lucy," Henry muttered with a wide smile spreading across his face. Seeing her here was the last thing he had expected. Lucy was the daughter of the village chief, the same village Henry had protected from the slime invasion during the early days of his journey. He had assumed they would never meet again after leaving the village, especially since they had been assigned to different Military Academy bases. Fate, however, clearly had other plans for them.The moment Lucy confirmed it was truly Henry standin
Chapter 185 Third Military Academy Library
"Good morning, Sir Louis," the guard standing beside the academy gate greeted respectfully the moment the group approached. He immediately straightened his posture before offering a crisp salute. His armor gleamed beneath the morning sunlight, and his expression carried both discipline and admiration. It was obvious from the confidence in his voice that he already knew exactly who Louis was long before the instructors reached the entrance."How are you doing, Issac?" Louis asked with a warm smile that surprised most of the students. His tone sounded less like an instructor speaking to a subordinate and more like an old mentor checking on someone he genuinely cared about. Tyler and Gareth exchanged knowing smiles, clearly familiar with the relationship between the two men."I'm doing well, sir," Issac replied proudly before stepping aside and opening the academy gate completely. "Please go right in. Most of the instructors arrived a few minutes before you did, so they're probably alrea
Chapter 184 Daemon Confirmation
The morning passed peacefully as the group gathered inside the inn's restaurant for breakfast. Warm meals had already been prepared by the workers before sunrise, filling the dining hall with the comforting aroma of fresh bread, roasted meat, and hot soup. After everything they had endured during the previous day, the simple meal felt almost luxurious. None of the students complained as they quietly enjoyed their food, each one recovering both physically and mentally from the exhausting journey through the cursed forest. Even Jaxon, who usually couldn't stop talking, focused entirely on eating, proving just how hungry he truly was.Louis finished the last bite of his breakfast before setting his spoon neatly on the table. His eyes slowly moved across the room, making sure every student had eaten properly before they continued traveling. Satisfied that everyone looked far more energetic than the previous night, he stood up from his chair and nodded toward Tyler and Gareth. The two inst
