Death. Death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was the only word echoing loudly through Kaden’s mind as he walked along the Rocky Mountains.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He lowered his defense significantly, making his body as weak and frail as a newborn baby. At that moment, even a single well-landed slap from an Intermediate could kill him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was false.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even while diminishing his body’s defense, no Intermediate could kill him unless he bared his heart himself and guided their hand to it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But, according to Vaela, this place was full of beasts at least Master ranked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were his aim.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So he walked. His steps were leisurely, his mind wandering, his lips moving as he sang a tune he had last heard back on Earth. He looked like he was on a simple stroll, nature itself his only companion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a strange sight. Even to the beasts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One beast was hiding not far from Kaden. Its skin was completely brown like the stones scattered all around the land, making it blend perfectly into its surroundings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a stone serpent, its fangs as hard as rock, its eyes stiff, moving slowly inside their sockets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It looked like a rock shaped into a snake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It observed Kaden with puzzlement. As a Master-ranked beast, it had intelligence, instinct sharpened through countless hunts. And what it sensed from Kaden was nothing but danger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This prey looked tasty, careless, but it knew better. Poison could be wrapped in candy. Still, it was hungry. Tired of gnawing stone all day, all seasons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were other beasts, but none worth the fight...too much to lose, not much to gain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So instead, it decided to gamble on this frail-looking human.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lucky for it, Kaden was in the mood for dying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It concealed itself, waiting for the best moment, but...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My goodman, why are you hesitating so much? Did I not make myself weak enough?\" Kaden whispered, his voice coiling in the snake’s ear like a long-lost friend.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The serpent freaked out. It tried to slither away immediately, but Kaden’s grip was iron. It didn’t budge an inch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It struggled violently, thrashing, desperate to escape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Calm down, goodman, here, look.\" Kaden pointed to his jugular veins.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Bite me, strike me, poison me... do whatever you damn like, and kill me.\" He said it knowing the beast would understand, even if it wouldn’t respond.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The snake hesitated, puzzled, wondering if this was some new torture devised by the vicious humans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But looking into Kaden’s crimson eyes, all it saw was sincerity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Man, I’m giving you my whole body to eat, why are you hesitating? Eat me.\" Kaden insisted, before stopping awkwardly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damn, that sounded too weird,\" he muttered, wincing at himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing him unfocused, the serpent did what any self-respecting snake would do — it struck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kaden saw it clearly. He even measured the strength behind the strike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He shook his head in disappointment and lowered his defense even further, allowing the fangs to pierce his flesh, to kill him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[You are dead.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That snake was disappointing. I hope I’ll find another one stronger,\" Kaden muttered as he appeared once again inside the unfathomable darkness of Death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t linger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I want neutral stat points.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[You have received 50 stat points.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Weak bastard.\" He shook his head in disdain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A Master ranked? What a joke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Revive me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Cost: 400.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tick—!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kaden continued his search. This time he took another path and found himself before a gigantic bear sleeping on the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like everything in this place, its skin was brown, but this one glowed like polished caramel beneath the blistering sun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The aura it released teetered on the edge of Grandmaster rank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kaden smiled and approached. He tapped its head gently, like a mother waking a child.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bear stirred, confused, its massive eyes opening to meet Kaden’s grin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My goodman, I’m sorry to wake you from your wondrous dream, but could you just bite off my head?\" Kaden asked, pointing to his skull with a slender finger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Pretty tasty—!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>MUNCH—!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bear didn’t wait. It bit his head clean off and returned to its nap, vaguely wondering since when flies had grown so large and human-shaped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[You are dead.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Second death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That big guy didn’t even let me finish my words. Tsk, bad manners.\" Kaden muttered, his red eyes flickering with madness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was starting to love these deaths.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He smirked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Stat points: 100.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Again.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Cost: 400.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tick—!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, Kaden went deeper into the Rocky Mountains. He encountered other beasts, but they were weak. He killed them quickly, taking their Origin Cores.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The further he walked, the less rocks he saw. Grass sprouted underfoot, and here and there, trees with crimson leaves like condensed blood rose from the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He smiled madly, excitement gnawing at his bones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Minutes later, he stopped, sensing a gaze — predatory, crushing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This one was a Grandmaster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slowly, Kaden turned to face it. His body tensed at the sight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Human...\" the voice rumbled, echoing like mountains grinding together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a golem. Eight feet tall, its rocky surface etched with swirling red tattoos.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its burning eyes fixed on Kaden with chilling neutrality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Human...\" it said again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kaden smiled, raising a hand. \"Hello!\" His voice was casual, but fear and madness danced beneath the surface.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Go back,\" the golem intoned. Its voice carried a finality impossible to resist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For any other man, that command would have been absolute. But Kaden’s will was unyielding, and at that moment, he was consumed by madness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t care. His grin only widened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My goodman, why are you blocking the way? What’s behind you? A lost treasure? An incredible ingredient? Or no, let me guess... the tomb of some unknown ancient being?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He shouldn’t have said that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because the moment the words left his mouth, he was crushed into a bloody smear by a single punch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hadn’t even seen it move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[You are dead.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Third death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kaden stood once again in the timeless dark. No snark, no comments. Just silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Something important, huh... a tomb of a powerful being?\" he muttered, lips curving upward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now things were getting interesting. Still, before facing the golem again, he needed more. More stats. More information.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Stat points once again.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Stat points: 400.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’My goodman...’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His grin stretched wide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Cost: 600.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tick—!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He returned straight to the golem. The fight lasted an instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fourth death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Stat points obtained: 350.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Again, Kaden went laughing madly through the mountains, killing beasts without hesitation. He only wanted the golem.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The damn sack of stone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He went straight for it. This time he fought. He didn’t land a single strike. He was crushed mercilessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fifth death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I fear if I die one more time this soon... I might actually lose my mind,\" Kaden chuckled lowly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His mind was cracking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t want to be afraid. Didn’t want to admit the fear of losing himself, of being overtaken by madness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he was afraid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because it was tempting. Since his second death, he’d felt the urge — the call — to just give in. To plunge headlong into insanity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He resisted. Albeit Barely. But he knew if it continued, he would break.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So he sat cross-legged in the darkness, forcing himself to calm. He thought of everything he would lose if he let madness consume him. Slowly, painfully, he reeled himself back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Minutes passed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I want information,\" he whispered, hoping for something useful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Ding! You have obtained new information: Whisper of The Undefeated Slave.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The knowledge burned directly into his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Undefeated... Slave...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kaden’s lips stretched into a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...my goodman.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—End of Chapter 231—\u003C\u002Fp>",1280,"2026-06-03T10:53:47.503Z",1,"novelbin.me","6c03c98f068cd0983a3dee966b0005a7668f923112f3e60c884f4e170f6407b3","killed-me-now-i-have-your-power-chapter-232","killed-me-now-i-have-your-power-chapter-230",481,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fkilled-me-now-i-have-your-power-cover.jpg"]
