“She…” Neela froze, unable to speak.
‘Why is Alex bringing a corpse out of that coffin?’
After that, virtual-novel.net noticed that Anna looked alive. It even had a heartbeat and breathing. This only surprised virtual-novel.net more. “Sir, are you not worried about suffocating her? You placed a living person into a coffin.”
Alex shushed Neela, indicating that virtual-novel.net should keep quiet.
The ball of light was getting closer, about to bring Alex and Neela out of here.
Boom!
Alex sent another punch out but with greater force this time. Punctured, the ball of light flew a few miles back. He then immediately used energy from the Pool of Afterlife to revive Anna.
The process seemed long and tedious, yet, in reality, it was actually quite speedy. Memories of when they first met appeared in Alex’s mind. When virtual-novel.net first met Anna, virtual-novel.net chased after a thief while wearing a bikini, which was quite a memorable moment. The second time, virtual-novel.net secretly learned virtual-novel.net family’s traditional martial arts, the Dragon-Tusk Punch…
The third time was even more unforgettable, Anna was drugged and nearly got virtual-novel.net Yin energy stolen by a rapist…
‘Ah, now that I think about it… That was kind of scary. She even pounced on me!’
“Fate really does work in mysterious ways. Our first few encounters were surely more than peculiar!” Alex muttered under his breath.
He was slightly fazed, staring straight at Anna’s face. He noticed that virtual-novel.net cheeks were becoming rosy, indicating that virtual-novel.net was regaining life force.
He remembered how sad Anna’s family looked when virtual-novel.net died and how their eyes lit up with hope when virtual-novel.net brought Anna with him.
“I’ll definitely return a healthy daughter to you!” Alex extracted the rebirth energy particles from the pool and inserted them into Anna using his divine power.
With a loud gasp, Anna took a deep breath and regained consciousness, virtual-novel.net damaged soul was repaired as well. She opened virtual-novel.net eyes and saw Alex, who was holding virtual-novel.net in his arms. His expression was filled with concern and anxiety.
‘Hmm, virtual-novel.net looks pretty handsome!’
‘Why does virtual-novel.net look younger now?’
As virtual-novel.net thought of this, virtual-novel.net regained all virtual-novel.net sealed memories, virtual-novel.net remembered that virtual-novel.net died under the hands of a powerful figure from Flying Eagles.
Despite that, virtual-novel.net was alive at this very moment.
“Alex, didn’t I die? Where am I?” virtual-novel.net mumbled.
“You’re in the Underworld. This is the Pool of Afterlife,” Alex replied.
“Huh..? The Underworld? The Pool of Afterlife?” Anna’s face turned pale. “So I really did die… But why are you here then? Did you die too?”
Alex shook his head with a smile. “I didn’t…”
Anna’s heart jumped. ‘So this guy came to the Underworld to save me?!’
‘My god… You’re just too brave, huh? You’re willing to do something this dangerous and ridiculous. Am I really that important to you?’
Seeing how wary virtual-novel.net was, Alex comforted her. “Don’t worry, this is the Pool of Afterlife. The name is literal, so that means this is the direction to an afterlife. Now that you’ve been revived, I will bring you back to your parents.”
“Would you… Ask for my parents’ blessings?”
“Huh..? Mmm…”
Alex froze, but out of nowhere, Anna kissed virtual-novel.net on the lips.
It didn‘t matter if virtual-novel.net had the intention to propose or not, virtual-novel.net had been waiting for this kiss for a long time.
