Now his body was lying on the hard, dirty ground, both of his hands bound by iron chains. His entire body was full of bruises. His whole body felt sticky as if he had not bathed for months.
His tongue was dry. His mouth bleeding. His head felt heavy.
"Wake up, you trash!" Someone shouted.
A kick struck his back. He fell forward. Noah coughed. Blood dripped from his lips.
He looked up. A tall man, wearing a leather robe and carrying a whip with thorns, stood in front of him. When he turned behind him, hundreds of other slaves were chained, mostly teenagers and the elderly. Noah was confused.
'What is this…? Who are they…? Where am I? What is this? Did I get hit by Death Syndrome?'
Before he could think further, his back was struck again.
"Hurry up and stand, bastard! Soon you will be sold. If you can't stand, we will cut your tongue and throw your corpse as food for monsters!"
Noah endured the pain, but his mind was far from this place. His eyes were empty. Memories and fear suddenly invaded his body.
"Mom…"
He could still remember his mother's face. Lying weak. Alone. And now, he was no longer by her side. All of his fears entered his body. That made his anxiety tie him tightly. His tears began to drip a little. He hoped this was just a dream.
But the pain in his body denied all of that. He shook his head repeatedly. Noah clenched his teeth. "No… I must go back. I must return to the hospital. Mom is waiting for me."
He stood up, but suddenly his head felt like it would explode. He immediately collapsed, curling in pain.
The pain came just like that.
Sharp. Piercing. Unbearable.
"AARRGHHH!!!"
He struck his own head, screaming as loud as he could. His body shook violently, and something foreign invaded his mind. Memories that were not his—names, languages, torture, magic, fear, death, and blood. All entered like thorns.
Everything entered at once.
Then… that voice appeared in his head.

Noah froze. His body trembled, cold sweat dripping from his temples. No, not sweat… it was blood.
"System? Don't tell me this is..."
[Synchronization complete!]
[Status: Cursed by the God of Death.]
[New skills obtained: Absolute Regeneration, Berserker, Blood Manipulation.]
Before he could think further, the whip struck his back again. He was kicked and beaten with a large wooden club. It directly hit his ribs. His ribs broke. Blood gushed out. Not stopping there, a sword stabbed Noah's back. He collapsed.
"Die, you stupid bastard! This is punishment for ignoring me," cursed the big man.
Noah's vision blurred. The pain was real. More than real. All of this was not a dream. A fact he did not want to accept.
"Mom… are you okay?" Noah tried to stand, but the pain made him fall again.
[Absolute Regeneration activated!]
Suddenly his bones rejoined. His skin closed. The wound disappeared. His gaze turned sharp, filled with rage. "I must return to the hospital. Mom needs me. I must go back."
The big man who beat Noah stepped back. Shocked to see what had happened. This was the first time he saw a human who had been stabbed by a sword heal again. Not just heal normally, but all wounds vanished as if they never existed.
Noah was already standing. In his hand, his own blood formed a kind of sharp blade. He glanced at the soldiers guarding the slaves. His gaze was full of anger and hatred. Whether it belonged to Noah or to the body he had entered, he didn't know.
Noah's gaze made the others tremble. They prepared to fight. Noah with his tired eyes. He took a deep breath.
[Blood Manipulation activated.]
[Berserker activated.]
Noah's entire body suddenly became five times stronger. He ran very fast. The soldiers tried to resist, but no one could match Noah's speed. Even though they slashed his body, it was all useless. His body rejoined again. He went berserk without having to think about being killed.
The soldiers screamed, some ran away. However, Noah had gone completely berserk. He lost control. He slaughtered all the soldiers there. Even without realizing it, he killed the innocent slaves. His entire body was covered in blood.
He looked at both his hands. "I have killed humans." He held his own head. Trying to stop what was happening, but he couldn't.
[Level Up!]
[Level Up!]
Noah kept rampaging like a madman for an hour. Everything there was slaughtered by him. Even the animals and trees around him he tore apart until destroyed.
Noah was completely out of control.
