Chapter 3: Germination

I didn’t know I would miss the seed days so much.

I felt like I would freeze to death at this rate.

HP: 23/28

My HP, which I don’t know when it increased, was rapidly decreasing.

At that very moment, as if responding to my desperate situation, a new skill was created.

I acquired the skill “Ice Resistance LV1.”

“Ice Resistance” – You gain resistance to the ice attribute.

HP: 11/28

“Ice Resistance” didn’t help at all.

It felt like I would meet the blueberries I had kept in the freezer in my past life in the afterlife.

HP: 16/28

“Ice Resistance LV2”

My mind began to freeze, and my thoughts slowed down, but the status window continued to beep loudly.

The cold air continued to eat away at my vitality without stopping.

My consciousness was gradually fading.

HP: 7/28

“Ice Resistance LV3”

HP: 4/28

“Ice Resistance LV4”

As death drew near, the notifications in the status window continued at an even faster rate.

“Ice Resistance LV6”

HP: 3…

“[Mikel’s… Ice Block LV1]”

“Ice Resistance LV10” skill has evolved.

“Ice Block” – Blocks ice attributes below a certain level.

As if I had woken up from a long nightmare, the cold suddenly disappeared.

No, to be exact, I couldn’t feel the cold.

Having barely returned from the brink of death, I only now realized that the skill had evolved.

“Huh… did I survive…?”

HP: 2/28

I had 2 HP left… I almost died.

The evolution of the ice resistance into ice blocking at the brink of death was like a god’s salvation.

I almost burned to death, froze to death, and had two very different experiences.

If I died this time and got another chance to be reincarnated, I was sure that the ice version of ‘Inferno Stigma’ would be added to the trait.

‘No, but was there an effect like ice blocking in hibernation?”

There definitely wasn’t.

However, given the name hibernation, it seemed obvious.

The status window is really smart about leaving out such an obvious effect in the description.

“Eek! But what am I for not even suspecting that?”

It was my mistake to accept the poorly explained status window as it was.

It would have been better if there was a wiki like in the game.

‘Ugh… That’s right, I’m an idiot!

The coldness of this ice labyrinth would no longer be a threat to me.

It seemed like it was time to sprout.

I checked my information one last time.
