After mastering the resurrection technique, they begged me to extend their lives.

I slept until evening.

Even though the outside world is fraught with danger and corpses surround him.

In order to recover Mana as soon as possible, An Xiao still chose the most cost-effective method - deep sleep.

In order to achieve deep sleep in such an environment, establishing a sense of familiarity with the environment becomes an essential training step.

"……Um."

I still remember that when Xinuo lay next to me, I couldn't fall asleep at all, which greatly reduced Mana's recovery rate.

But now, Princess Airi is just a cold, lifeless body.

Compared to the living Fiora, it doesn't seem to bring her much pressure.

This leads to a sense of security that arises imperceptibly, even when sharing a bed with someone, as if the connection with one's own creation is becoming stronger.

Mana+57.

"It's a success..."

He sat up, rubbing his forehead, and stared at his bizarre panel.

An Xiao was astonished to find that the Mana Bar, which had been stagnant for so long, had actually recovered half of its energy in the blink of an eye... This was much more economical than taking drugs.

"I drank so many magic potions, but I could only convert MP into a small amount of Mana..."

"But whenever I get a good night's sleep, my condition recovers by almost half... Does this mean that a sleep that allows me to deeply engage with creation is worth more than a thousand pieces of gold?"

After thinking it over, I was quite speechless.

From a fundamental logical perspective, resurrection would likely require a massive amount of "focus" and consume one's own "mental energy."

Therefore, the Mana value may mean that one needs to mobilize all of their potential and be completely immersed in order to ensure the success of the spell.

"Now I understand myself better."

An Xiao nodded, got up and went to the table, picked up a silver pocket watch, and glanced at the time.

"Yes, Nightfall."

Just right.

He took a deep breath and checked his spoils one last time.

Besides the letters and documents he had found on Chris, his cousin Dick also had some things.

For example, this pocket watch, two bottles of basic life potions, and something An Xiao found most useful—a "potion belt" (green quality).

This is a portable device that can hold five bottles of potions on your waist.

It has little defense, but its advantage lies in its ability to instantly retrieve a potion bottle, throw it away, or drink it directly.

Compared to taking it out of the ring, it eliminates the step of searching and activating it with one's mind, greatly increasing convenience.

An Xiao had already wrapped it around her waist and hidden it inside her tattered robe.

The five slots were filled with two green Life Potions, two blue Intermediate Magic Potions, and one purple Trickle Potion.

This makes one think, "If only there were special items or equipment for storing magic scrolls."

"It allows for smoother, continuous casting of spells, ensuring that you gain the upper hand in battle."

Although it was a partially digitized alternate world, An Xiao had no doubt that if she were to be struck by a sword or a knife, the pain would be no different from being pierced by a sharp weapon in the real world.

"It's best to avoid getting hurt if possible, since I don't have an HP bar."

Close the single wooden door on the underground side, take a deep breath, and calm your mind.

He returned to the bedside and lifted the blanket covering the princess.

By the light of the candle, I observed the girl's quiet yet youthful figure.

"This is my next 'creation'."

"I wonder if you will feel hostile towards me after you wake up."

An Xiao raised the broken wooden staff and took a step back.

Concentrate your mind completely.

The current level of creation is: 3.

The effects that can be enjoyed from creation are as follows:

"Species Unlock (Human, Beast)", "Time Enhancement (Extends Corruption Period)", "Accelerated Casting (Half Casting Time)".

The included unlocked skill is:

"Life Extension Spell" (100 Mana per use), "Creative Gaze" (1 Mana per unit).

It is foreseeable that when I successfully revive Airi, the experience points from the successful spellcasting will most likely allow me to break through to Creation Rank 4 and unlock new abilities.

There are currently 33 visible abilities, with the remainder being obscured by the fog of war.

But within the fog, it seems that if you look closely, you can see the edges and corners.

An Xiao didn't want to be overly ambitious and think about things a long time from now, such as "Creation 49: Heavenly Knight Lucia" or "Creation 78: Restoration of Ruins"...

After all, these beings are truly extraordinary and beyond my current reach.

Right now, all we need to do is fulfill the requirements step by step.

"Let's begin."

Adjust your state of mind and focus.

The incantation begins to be chanted.

"Aledesdina, the goddess of death who governs souls—"

"Hear my call, grant me the power of new life, and let the spirit of the princess return..."

call!

In an instant.

A dark wind arose.

The prayers in my heart seemed to be answered without any hindrance.

The next second, something inside my body suddenly disappeared!

The Mana value changed from 57 to 40, 29, 18... at a rate visible to the naked eye.

Finally, the time was 17 PM.

Om-!

Same action, same color.

An Xiao then shoved the cane, which resembled an old man's walking stick, to the side!

With a snap, a deep purple ring emanated from beneath his feet, spreading outwards from his center.

Crow—

Faintly, I heard the surprised cry of a soul.

It was as if a colorless, semi-transparent object had entered the body of "creation".

next second.

"what……"

A long-lost, slightly hoarse voice appeared before him.

Airi's beautiful, angelic, stone-colored eyes finally reopened, the pain still frozen in them before her consciousness faded.

Seemingly completely oblivious to the current situation, she stared blankly at the low ceiling, opened her small mouth, and remained silent for more than ten breaths.

The long silence passed, and An Xiao remained motionless.

Give her enough time to adjust.

"I……"

Pronouncing the first syllable seems quite difficult.

It was as if he had finally become certain that his consciousness had returned to its original form.

She turned her head and looked at the place where the magic circle had dissipated.

An Xiao pulled down her hood and stood still.

No comment was made.

Observe in silence.

Observe how your "creation" will react after being resurrected.

Will it be the same as Wind Sword Princess?

Does it exhibit a peculiar aggressiveness?

Or perhaps it's vigilance and fear?

It's hard to say for sure about An Xiao.

They simply gazed at each other silently.

He stared at the princess like a sinister sorcerer.

then.

Completely unexpected, a scene unfolded that left him petrified on the spot.

Airi didn't make a sound; she simply used all her strength to support herself with her stiff, pale arms behind her back and sit up.

He looked at An Xiao, then glanced at the dark, imprisoned surroundings.

At last……

They lowered their heads as if giving up resistance.

She then brought her legs together and reached under her skirt with one small hand—

It seemed as if they were inspecting something valuable.

……

……
