Chapter 404: Dying? Let me Sleep!
As Lilly saw her brotherβs state…
“Jack?!” Her heart stopped, despair filling her purple eyes.
A tub full of ice cubes, and he was entirely submerged in it, looking more blue than a damn Smurf! Then there was all the shaking, his body clearly trying to resist the cold.
Had this been Infinite, he would have long gotten Hypothermia warnings! Seeing him like this, he totally looked like he was trying to commit suicide.
The shock was so much that her ability activated by itself! As the world turned green, time seemed to freeze as she saw every single detail of him.
Every quiver of his
Every labored breath.
Every heartbeat, slower than the last
Also, he was wearing his Infinite Helmet?! Hell, there was even a suicide note by the side?! Yet, as she subconsciously read it, her beautiful face turned utterly strange…

π―ππππ ππππππππ ππ π΄ππππππ! ^_^π
Let him soak and chill a bit? This wasnβt chilling; this was dying! Also, what the hell could he be doing in Infinite that required something like that?! Lilly felt so goddamn lostΒ.
But while she was frozen in shock, the peacekeepers werenβt!
“Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! Quick, we gotta save him!”
“Why does the kid even want to die?!”
“Who cares! Get him out first!”
There was no time to lose, none whatsoever! And yet as they approached, they were suddenly stopped by the gorgeous girl that seemed to be his sister?!
“You… what are we doing?! Heβll freeze a thousand times over at this rate! Hell, it seems like his heart already stopped beating! We gottaβ”
“WE WAIT!” She powerfully declared.
Wait, wait, for what? Even she wasnβt sure! Her brother had definitely turned crazy. Why else would he do that?! And yet, even now, she had blind trust in him.
Every fiber of her being screamed at her to “save” him immediately! Every fiber of her being screamed at her to get him out and embrace him until he regained colors.
Every fiber screamed at her toβ
No! At that moment, she stopped herself.
βOxygen and blood pumping!β As long as he had that, he would be fine!
Amidst the crisis, the green glow around her radiated even stronger as she observed him non-stop! She would watch over him and make sure whatever he was doing worked!
And as for the Peacekeepers…
“Move out of the way alreadyβ eh?!” They tried to bypass Lilly, except a second later, the world turned dark as she mercilessly attacked them!
βEveryone in this family was INSANE!β Was their last thought as the darkness consumed them, leaving a worried Lilly grasping her brotherβs shaking hand.
Whatever he was doing in Infinite seemed intense…
In fact, Jack had just returned to the Volcano! He awoke to Moon Moon busy carrying him around like a potato sack while dodging the elementalsβ attacks!
Except there was something utterly strange with him. As he regained consciousness, he moaned in relief?!

“Ah, this hits the spots! This heat feels so damn good!”
Instead of looking bothered by it, he faced the inferno with the most radiant smile. A second ago he had been “dying” of frost IRL, but now he was finally so very comfortable!
His entire being had been in survival mode, and now his brain was sending him infinite pangs of pleasure as it felt the inferno around him. Finally some well-deserved heat!
βHypothermia? Not here!”
βThis place was the BEST!β
βThe lava looked so nice too!β
[ERROR! ERROR! ERROR! Hostβs Vitals Are Strange!]
[Initiating AUTO-LOG-OUT! Please Standby Forβ]
“Denied! No, Thank You! Canβt you feel how comfortable I am here? I need this!” Jack denied the System, utterly confusing the latter.
Part of it was true! His vitals had actually improved slightly upon coming here? He wasnβt shivering as much, and the stress on his body had actually gone down a fair bit?!
This was all false. It was akin to a placebo, Jackβs brain getting confused by the new sensations. Instead, this new peaceful state would only accelerate his demise!
But he still had a short window before it ended and needed to use it ASAP!
“We have work to do. Moon Moon, I need you!”
“Woo!” (What are we doing, Master?)
“Weβre going on a walk!”
Going on a walk? With its masterβs body shaking so much? This made all the sense: walks always made Moon Moon better, and it would definitely help its master too!
At that moment, the duo… went on a walk?! Anyone seeing this scene would have questioned their eyes and possibly gone insane, but thatβs all they actually did.
[Host Has Gone on a Walk?! ERROR! ERROR!]
[Vitals still down! Cold?! Hot?! Unknown?!]
[ERROR! ERROR! ERROR! ERROR!]
“Turn off notifications…”
Jack turned off ALL notifications.
He even embraced that weird state of his as he walked. Right now, he felt so comfortable, right now he felt so sleepy, right now he felt so damn good!
He just felt like lying down on the volcanoβs floor and taking a nap for a while, but he forced himself to keep going…
Walk, walk, walk walk some more. Then again, could this still be called a walk anymore? At first it started as Jack walking his pet, but then it quickly turned strange.

Head deeper. Activate Water Pearl. Dodge rock elemental. Dodge Flame Elemental. Create shelter in a nearby cave. Head deeper. Activate Water Pearl. Dodge rock elemental. Dodge Flame Elemental. Create shelter in a nearby cave…
Over and over, he did the same actions in the strangest way possible. The more he did, the stranger he looked. He was already yawning all the time and yet not stopping.
He felt so comfortable.
He felt so damn sleepy too.
He could feel his eyes closing by themselves.
He felt Moon Moonβs fur under his hand as if a guide wolf.
At one point, he stopped looking entirely, simply going with the flow! Yet every time he seemed about to fall off a cliff or get hit by a fireball, his trusty wolf would gently howl.
And thatβs when his body would move by itself, as if by instinct. Before long, his entire life was nothing but that series of repeated actions over and over and over and over.
Head deeper. Activate Water Pearl. Dodge rock elemental. Dodge Flame Elemental. Create shelter in a nearby cave. Head deeper. Activate Waβ before long, he started dreaming.
He stopped being in a volcano and found himself in a land of death, one that came from his past life, yet it only made him chuckle a bit. Ah right, it was this scene.
He was the Herald of Light again…
