Chapter 4

As I continued to examine my skin, I noticed a marked improvement in its overall texture and tone. It was as if my body had undergone a profound rejuvenation, shedding the imperfections that had once marred its surface. “Is this what it means to completely recover from an abnormal condition?” I wondered, my mind racing with the implications.

I suspected that the condition of my internal organs had also undergone a significant transformation. A previous physical examination had revealed that my liver was in a state of disrepair, but perhaps this newfound ability had restored it to optimal health.

As I gazed at my reflection, I couldn’t help but notice that my face seemed more chiseled, more refined. What was once an ordinary visage now seemed to possess a certain allure, a certain charm that was hard to ignore. The absence of acne scars and the clarity of my skin had made a world of difference.

A surge of excitement coursed through my veins as I grasped the full extent of my newfound ability. “This is incredible! This is a recovery ability! Among hunters, those with recovery abilities are the most coveted ... I could become a noble, too...”

But my enthusiasm was short-lived, as I was quickly reminded of the limitations of my ability. I closed my mouth, my mind tempered by the realization that this complete recovery ability was only applicable to myself. Moreover, it could only be used once every 24 hours - a restriction that rendered it woefully inadequate for a hunter’s needs.

As I let out a sigh of resignation, I navigated to the next option, the weight of my disappointment lingering.

[Character Summon]

The screen before me displayed an uninviting message - there were no characters available for me to summon. With a shrug of indifference, I moved on, the emptiness of this option a harsh reminder of my limitations.

[Game Start]

A new screen unfolded before me, its contents sparking a flicker of curiosity within.

[You can currently proceed with one game]

The message was straightforward, its simplicity a stark contrast to the complexity of the world I was about to enter. I was limited to a single game, a constraint that only served to heighten my anticipation.

[The number of games you can proceed with increases every 20 levels]

A glimmer of hope emerged as I read on, the promise of future possibilities dangling before me like a tantalizing carrot. Every 20 levels, the number of games I could engage in would increase, a prospect that filled me with a sense of determination.

[You can enter the world of the selected creation]

The words danced before me, their meaning sending a shiver of excitement down my spine. I was on the cusp of entering a new realm, one born from the imagination of another. The thought was both thrilling and intimidating, a heady mix of emotions that left me breathless.

[The creations you can choose are limited by your level]

A dose of reality tempered my enthusiasm, a reminder that my choices were bound by the constraints of my current level. The limitation was a harsh reminder of the journey ahead, one that would require patience, perseverance, and dedication.

[List of selectable creations]

As I scrolled through the list, two options presented themselves, each one a portal to a unique world.

-Shelter from the Storm (Novel)

The title whispered promises of drama and intrigue, its words evoking images of turbulent skies and tempest-tossed seas. A novel, with all its complexities and nuances, lay before me, waiting to be explored.

-A Day in 1999 (Drama)

The second option beckoned, its name conjuring memories of a bygone era, one of laughter and tears, of joy and heartache.

A drama, with all its twists and turns, lay in wait, ready to transport me to a world of nostalgia and wonder.

As I delved into the depths of the titles, a plethora of titles began to resurface, each one stirring a unique blend of emotions within me.

I recalled the haunting pages of “Invisible to My Eyes”, a novel that had left an indelible mark on my psyche.

The silver screen had also been a canvas for terror, as I remembered watching “There Was a Devil”, a movie that had chilled me to the bone.

The timeless tale of “Snow White” had also been a staple of my childhood, its enchanting narrative weaving a spell of magic around my young heart.

But it wasn’t all innocence and fairy tales.
