Infinite Disasters: I Hoarded My Way to Godhood novel Chapter 38

Chapter 38: Chapter 38: Perfumer, Sleeping Fragrance, Sweet Fragrance

The eerie red sky outside filled everyone with a sense of unease.

A closer look at their surroundings revealed a scene of utter decay.

The windowpanes in the room had long since shattered. Through the broken frames, the sky outside appeared a sickly red, as if stained with diluted blood.

In the distance, the faint outlines of several tilting skyscrapers were visible.

The room’s interior was an even greater mess.

All sorts of things were overturned, and glass had shattered into glittering fragments that made a cringe-inducing CRUNCH underfoot.

In the quiet, they could hear all sorts of rustling sounds from outside the house.

It sounded like the crawling of some many-legged creature.

"The sky is so red out there. Is this one of the worlds in the Disaster Game?"

The lanky Martin Lewis moved to the window and, without a shred of caution, stuck his head out of the shattered frame. "It doesn’t even feel that dangerous!"

He turned around excitedly, his right hand suddenly glowing with a faint blue light.

He was using his Talent Ability.

A bottle not far away levitated into the air, tracing an arc before landing steadily in his palm.

"See that? My [Telekinesis] Talent!" Martin Lewis boasted to the others. "Haha, becoming a Player gives you the chance to get a superpower! I can’t believe I actually got one!"

However, Martin Lewis was completely oblivious to the danger creeping up behind him.

"Idiot!!" the man in black hissed, but it was too late.

The red light from the window illuminated Martin Lewis, twisting his excited expression into a demonic grin.

The moment he turned, the man in black’s sharp eyes caught something falling from the top of the window frame.

It was a transparent thread, as thin as a hair, with a fist-sized, purplish-black spider hanging from its end.

The spider’s eight compound eyes swiveled in unison, locking onto Martin Lewis’s exposed neck.

But the lanky Martin Lewis remained oblivious. He was still basking in the joy of gaining a superpower, figuring that surviving three days in this world wouldn’t be much of a challenge.

"I think we can team up. My Telekinesis can..."

"Get down!" The man in black rushed forward, grabbing Martin Lewis by the collar and yanking him to the ground.

At the same time, a silver glint flashed from his hand—it was his Ability, Metalization.

It could turn the body into metal.

At this moment, he had metalized his fingers, making them incredibly sharp.

With a soft "SHINK," the spider was precisely cleaved in two. Green slime splattered onto the windowsill, instantly corroding several small, smoking holes into the surface.

Martin Lewis collapsed onto the ground, his face deathly pale. "Wh-what was that..."

"Shut up! Are you trying to attract more bugs?" The man in black quickly scanned the surroundings and only relaxed slightly after confirming there were no other immediate threats. "Keep shouting if you want to die."

The man in black was furious.

Everyone else fell silent.

Seraphina Sullivan looked up at the unnaturally red sky. The color looked as if it had been smeared on with diluted blood, and even the passing clouds had a sickly pinkish hue.

She withdrew her gaze and quickly scanned the other people in the room:

Martin Lewis was still slumped on the floor, staring blankly at the holes corroded by the spider’s goo.

The female student was nervously biting her nails.

The man in professional attire looked calm, but the beads of sweat constantly rolling down his forehead betrayed his fear.

And the couple had shrunk into a corner, like frightened rabbits.

’A bunch of dead weight,’ Seraphina judged them in her mind.
