Mixed Blessing System

"Wake up before it's too late!"

After those words were spoken, Lothur felt a flow of energy passing through his pupils in a way as if the light had stopped working normally.

"Wake up!"

"Wake up!"

Then, as he heard this call, his eyes suddenly opened, and his heart began to beat normally again.

Meanwhile, he stood with his body relaxed over Viktoria, arms resting on her legs and head in her abdominal region.

She had her arms around his chest as she looked at him with a fearful expression, eyes red and watery.

"Lothur!" She cried out as she saw his eyes opening, feeling his vital signs returning to normal.

Viktoria had woken up over 3 hours ago and stayed all that time with Lothur in her arms, thinking he had died.

Because of the thoughts in her mind, she was quite vulnerable at the moment, feeling her emotions running high.

"Lothur, I thought I would never see you again!" She said as she squeezed his body, feeling she could no longer live without her husband, who took such good care of her.

Without realizing it, she had fallen in love with Lothur. And in this situation, she realized her situation, so she did not hold back when she noticed that her lover was alive.

"Lothur, I love you. I am totally yours~" She was saying things like that as she kissed his face and felt the surroundings of her eyes getting moister and moister.

Meanwhile, Lothur was still slightly disoriented, given the previous situation, so he accepted his wife's affection without saying anything.

'What just happened?' He wondered as he felt a strange sensation all over his body. 'What was that? What kind of hallucination was that I had?'

He had fallen into a place that seemed to be the home of death, the final passage that every living being would pass through before disappearing. But then he appeared in a different place, an absolute hell on earth, where only calamities could be felt.

Hence, he could not help imagining it was a hallucination.

But as he thought of the voice in his mind, Lothur felt a chill run through his body, as if he had received great advice after making a series of mistakes.

The feeling he had now was not so different from that a young man would have when caught in the act by an elder while doing something stupid.

'He talked about the leaves... But I'm already doing my best! I'm improving on different fronts to get the power needed to go after it!' He continued to be confident in his plans until the system started filling his sights with message boxes.

Lothur saw all these messages and almost felt his head hurt with so much information in his sights, but it only made him happier.

After whatever had happened in this place, his talent, characteristics, and skills had increased significantly, enough to put a smile on his face.

Therefore, after feeling the love of his wife for a few minutes, sighing that he had managed to improve his attributes, Lothur slowly recovered his state of mind.

He had answered Viktoria's 'I love you' the way she had, but part of his being was still a bit disoriented, so he did not know what he had said.

Lothur then questioned his wife after he felt better. "How much time do we still have?"

Viktoria had already dried the tears on her face and looked at the hourglass that had been marking their time. "One hour and two minutes." She said, surprising Lothur entirely.

"What?" He exclaimed in shock. "I was in hibernation for more than a day?"

To him, time had passed as if only a few seconds had passed. But in fact, he had spent an entire day in that state, the time needed for the two resources in his body to take effect.

Viktoria nodded her head and said. "I thought you had died! Your heart wasn't beating, and you were very pale!"

"Is that so?" He understood why his body felt so bad right after he woke up. 'Good thing I have such a great regenerative ability and am already feeling almost completely normal.'

"Sigh..."

"I'm sorry I scared you, dear." He said, bringing her into his embrace.

"Hmm." Viktoria made a quiet sound as she smelled her husband's manly scent and sighed in relief.

"What did you get out of that little fruit?" He asked in curiosity since he could not see his wife's attributes.

"I improved 30% of my soul power, but I also elevated my talents slightly." She said after a few seconds. "Now, I should be close to the peak of the 3rd Revolution."

"Oh?"

Soul spiritual cultivation depended on five attributes, the four physical ones and the mental one, the Soul. The first four had equal weight, while the latter was twice as important to this type of cultivator.

That differed from bodily spiritual cultivation, which depended only on the four physical attributes.

Lothur already knew this, so he was not surprised that his wife had gotten much closer to level 13 by raising non-physical attributes.

"Have you also gained an affinity for the dark element? What about your killing intent?" He questioned to see if his wife had achieved the same as he had.

"I have not gained an affinity with the dark element. At least I don't feel it." She answered his first question. "But my killing intent has improved a bit."

"I see... That's not bad. At least you are stronger now." He smiled at her and kissed her forehead.

Meanwhile, Viktoria laments the little fruits that her family has lost over the years.

'Even ignorance got in our way... Sigh, it's no wonder we've fallen so far behind.' She thought before questioning Lothur. "For that matter, how did you know all that stuff about that plant and its fruits?"
