The Author's POV

Chapter 572

"Huuuu…"

Inhaling deeply, I focused my attention on my muscles. Like a calm well, I immersed myself in my own mind as everything around me disappeared.

It was important for me to take note of the different nerves used throughout my body as I felt every twitch and movement.

"To harden my body completely, I must break the microfibres within my muscles and replace them with stronger ones."

It was just like building muscles.

A person's muscles become stronger and more durable by breaking the microfibers inside of them through exercise and building them again through recovery.

As for me, I intentionally destroyed the micro-givers according to Han Yufei's instructions in order to build them back up, stronger and more durable than before.

By carefully snapping a selected few micro fibers, one would find their body rapidly hardening.

This method had only one drawback, and that was that it required a high level of concentration.

I was fortunate to have a high level of concentration after all of my experiences.

"Huuu"

Taking another deep breath, I slowly opened my eyes.

"This is enough for now."

As I carefully helped myself up with the wall, I ignored the twitching happening all over my body. It was annoying, but at the same time, bearable.

"How long has it been?"

I murmured to myself as I glanced around the room. As there was no clock here, I estimated that about one week had passed since I arrived.

It may have been less or may have been more...I wasn't sure.

My brows knit at this realization.

"What's taking Kevin so long?"

Honestly, Kevin should have already figured out I was with Jin. As he was able to teleport to us, he should have already appeared in front of us by now.

While he may not know that I knew this, I was very aware of his stalking feature.

It was something that was within my memories. Yes, I knew not to trust my memories, but I realized that he had gained them after he managed to somehow find me when I was on a date with Amanda.

It was fairly obvious if I had to be honest. In any case, with that ability, he should've already gotten an idea of where Jin and I were.

I furrowed my brows even more.

"…What if he is hesitating thinking that his sudden appearance might put us in danger?"

Upon reflection, this made sense. Kevin might end up endangering me and himself if he showed up in a delicate situation.

If this was the case, his caution was understandable.

Aside from that, there were two other scenarios that I thought of as I pondered over Kevin's possible delay.

One, he was simply too far away from us and he didn't know about our current circumstances and judged us to be safe, or two, he was looking for the others that have also appeared on the planet.

But...

"I really hope this isn't the case."

The mere thought made my heart skip a beat

I could only fear for the lives of the others if they were also brought into this world. In contrast to Kevin, Jin, and me, the majority of them were unprepared for this world.

If they weren't ready, they could find themselves dying at any moment.

Especially Smallsnake and Ryan...I was really worried about the two.

"Fuck."

A curse escaped from my lips as I clenched my teeth.

'I need to get out of here faster!'

"Hm?"

Kriiiii—

My mind was jolted out of my thoughts when a grinding sound echoed out and the room's doors slowly opened. My eyes quickly closed as I noticed light spilling through the small gap in the door.
