Chapter 439 CH 425: TUNE



Currently, Adam was standing inside a changing room while examining himself in the mirror and the new shirt he had bought as he deeply pondered about the new knowledge he had gained not too long ago from what he deemed to be a rather... unsavory experience.

Firstly— unlike what was shown in the movies that had people thrown into an active volcano for the shits and giggles, it wasn't really possible to simply sink in the viscous molten lava itself. Lava was far denser than water after all. In fact, lava was more or less between 100,000 to 1.1 million times more viscous than water, based on the temperature and the silica content in the composition of the molten and viscous liquid of unbelievably fiery temperatures. It also was three times more dense than water in general so there was that too.

Secondly— he found that dying by falling into a volcano was truly fucking painful. However, unexpected as that may be, it was really swift and to the point. The very moment he stopped protecting himself from the fire and smoke and everything with the usage of [The World], he quickly died from the heat and smoke rather than the fiery lava itself. Whether or not his body was at the peak of humanity, without Prana, he was only a human and death came fast really fast to him.

The third thing he learned was that dying inside a volcano was something incredibly stupid to enact. He died two times in a row because he had forgotten whenever he died, he would be resurrected and readjusted to the very same place where his body lost its life. And that very place was obviously the volcano full of heat, smoke, and lava in this case. He even had to kill himself a third time because when he had awakened for the second time, he once again wasn't swift enough to form a protective barrier around him and his hand ended up burning to bits.

Since he didn't have any healing factor, he didn't really have much choice but to off himself. Thankfully, this time he had found a cleaner way.

Blowing his head up with a rock flying at the speed of sound was pretty ingenious of him, to say the least.New n0vel chapters are published on

Something to keep in mind when he would try to kill people in the future.

The last thing he learned from this harrowing experience was perhaps a sort of good news for him and the best outcome he had achieved from this endeavor. The time it took for him to come back to life had considerably shortened along the way and he was slowly becoming more aware even when he was technically dead or in a state of stasis before resurrection.

He had no doubt that soon, very soon, he would be able to stay completely awake even through death or just simply revive almost immediately once his curse progressed a bit more with the use of his [Adaptation].

This would completely change the way he fought and behaved in any situation. He would truly become an immortal monster that feared nothing even while fighting.

[I believe the speed of your revival is affected by the strength of your soul. What do you think?]

'Haha. As if everything wasn't already affected by it. It was only a matter of time.'

Clearly, in this world, the soul was everything. Even more important than the physical body from what he had gathered.

"Mister, what do you think?"

The sweet voice of a woman brought him out of his musing. Adam smiled at the woman who was batting eyes at him while trying to appear cute. Though she was indeed as cute as one could be. He also noticed how one of the buttons of her shirt had been undone, giving a rather tantalizing view of her impressive cleavage.

Ignoring the woman who was basically throwing herself at him, Adam examined himself in the mirror for one last time.

Objectively and subjectively speaking, he was definitely very handsome. It was even more so in this long-sleeved white shirt that he had bought just for this occasion. His muscles were quite developed at this point and showed a clear definition without being overblown and swelling in places as he would see in the typical bodybuilders. His shoulders were broad and his smile was deep and alluring. He was simply perfect, in a word.

"I will take it."

He could easily have any clothes he wanted through the use of his illusions. But as a form of respect for Natasha, he decided to buy proper clothes for her and not be illusive in front of his girlfriend. This was technically his first true date, after all.

He was now ready for the Date ahead.

Since he wasn't far from Beverly Hills and was actually flying with the car rather than actually driving in itself, it didn't take long for him to reach his destination.

Walking out of the car and following the main hallway up to the door of the mansion, Adam admired the house of his date once more. No matter how many times he would see it, it would never cease to truly amaze him. Natasha's mansion was quite overwhelming as always and this time, he could feel many presence that were rather powerful even by his standards.

In fact, one presence in particular took his attention. It was a young man, with features rather similar to Natasha. Thanks to the [Eyes of Truth], he was able to realize that it was none other than Natasha's brother.

But, there was one teensy weensy bit of problem here.

Yellow mixed with a hint of red.

This was the color surrounding her brother right now. This translated to wariness that was on the borderline of outright hostility.

'Hum...'

He could guess why this scene took place and why he was feeling such an emotion. But first things first,

"Adam! Catch me!"

Adam sighed as a young girl jumped from the second floor with her arms wide open.

Who else could it be but the ever-troublesome Fedora?

He sighed and sidestepped. Watching as she fell face first on the ground.

"Hey! Why didn't you catch me!?"

She cried the moment she stood up, to which he answered with a blunt voice,

"I wanted to see if you would leave a human-shaped crater."

"Do you think this is a cartoon?"

Fedora could only snort as Adam started laughing out loud at her antics.

(AN: Funny how I had to search things like is it possible to dive in lava or how fast someone die if they fall in Lava. The price of the GTO 250 I gave is real by the way. Obviously, 350 is something I created. I'm not going to lie. I am jealous.)

By the way I have a question. Would you rather have one big or semi big chap like this daily or two relatively smaller chapters everyday?
