Chapter 73 Chapter 73
'What the hell happened to me?!' Clark was confused. He did not understand why such a crazy thing had occurred to him.
The impulse had been so great that he was not able to control his emotions at all. But there was one truth that he was sure of at the moment, this kind of lunacy just doesn't bloom from out of nowhere.
There had to be a good reason for it!
'Am I really cursed by the gods?' Goosebumps rose in every part of Clark's body. Even the hair on top of his neck could not have been standing more straighter at the moment.
"What the fuck just happened, Nancy?!" Clark roared the question out. His outrage did not last for long though because a most pressing matter called for his attention more than that.
"DAMN!" Clark cursed and cradled a bloody foot while limping slowly towards the bed. In his pain, he even forgot that he could just as easily fly to accomplish the same effect.
+6 health
+6 health
+6 health

...
The constant beeps per second reassured Clark that his shattered foot would be reborn a new, given time.
It would take approximately 17 seconds to negate the self inflicted damage of a hundred health points.
'It's good to be like a game character in this world. Passive regen is really dope af!' Clark was thankful for small pleasures after he arrived carefully on the soft embracing body of his bed.
Although he left a trail of blood but he ignored it all the same.
But because your feelings and emotions got the better of you, the outburst that you did earlier has untied the programmed restrictions installed by the system. This update is irreversible."
Nancy explained in a downcast voice.
"But why was I tilted like that in the first place, Nancy?" Clark asked in confusion. He remembered those seconds of absolute rage and he must admit that it was indeed a liberating feeling.
That did not mean that it was wise though.
"You are a cultivator, host. Someone who denies the natural will of heaven.
And it is exactly because of that why pure emotions such as fear, anger, and yes... love could magnify to exponential proportions that no human could ever hope to fetter.
If you would let this issue run amok, lunacy would be the least of your worries. So you need to guard your heart as you ascend in the endless ladder of the myriad daos.
The path shall only become even steeper and besieged by dangers, hidden and obvious, with every step that you take.
As of this very moment, you are already under the negative buff provided by Heaven unto every cultivator that wished to defy its natural laws." Nancy replied.
'Fuck me! Would I turn into Bruce Banner as I get stronger also?' Clark wobbled slightly. To say that this thing did not bode well to him was indeed an epic understatement for the century.
A glaring negative buff like this was almost as bothersome as his protagonist aura. Having both handicaps was truly lethal for our good gamer who wished only to hide and gain strength in peace.
'If i get crazy stupid for just the tiniest problems in my life from here on out, would that turn me into a devil in no time?' Clark shivered visibly by the thought.
"Is there no way to turn off this kind of negative effect, Nancy?" Clark recovered after a full minute.
"Negative, host. Even with the almost limitless faculties of the system, it cannot do such impossible tasks for you.
The system cannot teach you patience and courage, same to all the other virtues in existence. In the end, you alone shall need to face this problem on your own.
Temper yourself and hone an indestructible dao heart. Only by doing this will you have hope in safeguarding your soul from your baser instincts. Good luck, host. I believe that you can do it!
Trust yourself!" Nancy encouraged as always but Clark had an entirely different thought altogether.
"It's over. I'm doomed!"
