Atticus's Odyssey: Reincarnated Into A Playground novel Chapter 618

618 Two Weeks

Even without advancing a sublevel or major level, an individual absorbing mana to increase their rank would grow stronger every day. This was because the evolving body was becoming a better version of itself.

Atticus could feel that his strength had increased. For the change to be so visible would mean that he wasn't too far off from reaching the bottleneck to the next rank. Atticus was ecstatic!

He made his way into the water and through the hole he had come from, covering it and marking it so he would be able to locate it later on.

Afterward, he moved slowly towards the surface of the water. Atticus used the water molecules to swim, so he could be as silent as possible.

Bringing his head slowly out of the water, Atticus saw that there was not a single living creature in sight.

'The darkness creatures must have fled, or other beasts came for them.'

Atticus decided to be careful and never let his guard down. He observed the surroundings for a while longer, and when he saw that the coast was clear, he brought himself out of the water.

His clothes weren't wet because he could control the water around him; however,

'I should wash them when I get back,' he thought.

They were smelly. Considering his heightened senses, they were like torture to him.

Atticus held his katana tightly and moved forward. There was a row of large black trees with red leaves in front of him, blocking his view of the other area.

'I should search for a better vantage point first,'

He maintained absolute quietness and used the air molecules to fly upwards while keeping his body very close to the tree, making sure he wouldn't get spotted. _{ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom}

Atticus reached the top and hid within the large tree branches. Then he gazed forward.

For the first time since entering the chasm, Atticus saw the true nature of it. It was like he had entered another world.

The tree he was on was uniquely taller than the other trees, giving him a good view. Just below him was an expansive forest. Each tree was enormous, with black, thick, and gnarled trunks and blood-red leaves, making the whole space look like a sea of blood.

However, his eyes were drawn to the beasts roaming around the crimson forest. They were as ginormous as they were fearsome. He could also catch sight of multiple predators and prey hiding out at the tops of the trees, waiting and stalking, and multiple large flying beasts in the air, each circling and searching for prey.

Amongst everything, one thing immediately pulled, literally, all his attention away.

In the far end of this forest was a high peak. Its distance from Atticus was undoubtedly far, but he could still see it because of its high altitude.

'Why are you calling me,'

Atticus stared at the peak with narrowed eyes. The pull he had felt since he left the cave was apparently coming from that peak, or instead, it was calling to him.
