《Last Grace: The Apex of Another World》Chapter 16 - A Victor's Spoils
Advertisement
Lucifer punched the air with his fist - he was alive. The sunlight stroked his face, embellishing Lucifer's tired, heavy like lead body with light. Was he not seeing things, or was he?
He patted down his body to make sure that was the truth. He traced a scar that was located on the upper part of his torso. That's proof - all that he needs.
If he had been poisoned one more time, if he had, or been stabbed anywhere else he could've easily died. He was almost taken away by the reaper. He thanked lady luck that it was not worse.
He was only feeling thankful. That was too close.
A feeling of relief washed over him, he had won!
Now he could reap the spoils of giving it his all. For taking the first step towards the Apex.
He opened up his status menu, his breathing was not slow - it was expectant.

More than satisfied with what he had gained Lucifer stumbled to his feet. He couldn't waste good daggers… or his time. Who knows what else might be lurking out there and if someone would beat a dungeon before him.

He found all ten daggers, when he was done with the house he should check out the contribution store…
Even if he only had 50 points left.
Lucifer had to hurry back so he could finish his house. Following his memories, Lucifer made it back and found the unfinished shelter right where he had left it. It took a while to get there, though he did it all the same. Not even a pebble was out of place when he arrived, so he could continue where he had left off.
He needed to start the walls - his progress was too slow. He had to locate mud, he had to locate a source of water and he had to pack it together. It made the fight with the queen look easy.
How he wished to go back to that fight, it - with its high stakes, but thrill it gave him it beat the work he was doing now by a mile - and counting.
An hour passed, he finished half a wall - you see the house wasn't very big, and the roof would take even longer.
In around ten days - if Lucifer worked hard, the house would be completed,
Taking his mind off things for a bit could do Lucifer some good - just by not stressing over the details, he could settle into his new life.
The new life that still he couldn't believe using the tome gave him, that the system gave Lucifer - a demon.
Good things can sometimes come from the crazy.
And he was crazy about this system - reaching the apex, setting his own limits that's why he would never give up.
That brush with death was a wakeup call, telling Lucifer to get stronger - now or he shall fall behind.
Lucifer was a master at falling, but not at falling behind.
