2024-10-29 19:42:56“What an exciting atmosphere we have in the air today”.
“The finals of the National High School Relay Race Competitions”.
“This is the day that all high school students have been waiting for since the beginning of this term. It promises to end this term on an incredibly high note”.
“Today, we have 8 prominent high school teams competing for the prices”.
“On the yellow jerseys is the team from the Jacobian High School, the 2nd runners up in last year’s National Relay Competitions”.
“On the blue jerseys are the students from the Elite High School”.
“On the pink jerseys are those from the Trailblazers Academy”.
“On the white jerseys is St. Paul’s High School”.
“On the green jerseys is St. Jeremiah’s High School”.
“On the red jerseys is the Regent High School”.
“On black jerseys are those from Oakland International”.
“As for those in the iconic purple jerseys, they are our 2 times relay race winners and current holders of the relay cup, the inevitable Lions from Landmark Academy who many believe are the favorites once again”.
“That’s him on the 4th lap, the high school legend himself, Donald Clinton”.
With his iconic funky styled blonde hair, the handsome and athletic 18-year-old high school celebrity waved at the spectators. The girls were going crazy.
“Woah, he waved at me!”
“Someone pinch me, I’m gonna die!”
“I love you Clinton!”
“I’m ready to bear your kids!”
“I want to marry you Clinton!”
He had a gentle and relaxed smile on his face like this race was going to be a work over as he waved at his fans, basking in the attention that he was getting.
Seeing the attention that he was receiving, the tall boy wearing yellow jersey in the 4th lap came to meet him. “You won’t be smiling at the end of the race”.
Clinton looked at him. “Interesting, I’ll see who can remove my smile”.
“I can, and I will!”
“Nice spirit, I love it, I’ll like to see you try”. He smirked confidently.
After much fanfare, the race was finally about to start.
“Wow! They are all fully ready for the race!”
“The field is clear and the tracks are set!”
A loud voice reverberated through the speakers. “On your marks!”
Those in the first lap went on their knees.
“Get set!”
“GO!”
The race started!
Bam! Bam! Bam!
The sounds of their feet hitting the track reverberated in a rhythmic manner amid the loud sound of cheers and screams from the spectator stands.
The whole stadium seemed to be on fire.
Landmark Academy started in the first lane, so the boy representing them started behind all the others but before he handed over the baton to his colleague in the second lane, he was able to dig his way to 5th position.
“And he’s handed the baton over, the race’s intensity increases!”
Bam! Bam!
Feet hit the track with intensity amid heavy breathing.
By the 3rd lane, Landmark Academy was already in 4th position. By the time that they got to the 4th lane, they were in 3rd position, 2 positions from the highest price but it didn’t matter as the cheers rose up a crescendo.
“Clinton!” “Clinton!” “Clinton!”
Clinton felt adrenaline flood him as soon as his hands touched the baton.
Looking ahead, only 2 players were ahead of him, one on the familiar yellow jersey and the other on a surprising black jersey.
Clinton didn’t care though. ‘It’s my time to shine!’
He dug in!
Bam! Bam! Bam!
For those first few seconds as he moved, dust erupted from the track due to his rapid feet as he started on a high. He pursued the boy in black, overtaking him in less than 5 seconds as he chased after the boy in yellow.
“Can he do it?”
“Can he do it?!” The commentator was going crazy.
“And yes, he does it!”
At the last few seconds, Clinton overtook the boy in yellow.
The stadium roared to life!
Cheers blasted everywhere as he got to the finish line, finishing the competition on a high and making Landmark Academy 3-peat champions.
The roars of the fans mixed with the wild screams of the commentator.
Cheerleading girls flocked Clinton, hugging him, kissing him, and heaping him with praise. Unfortunately, one of these cheerleading girls was the girlfriend of the boy who spoke to Clinton and was wearing the yellow jersey.
It happened so fast, before he could understand, he was already hit.
BAM!
The angry boy punched him on the back of his head.
Instantly, Clinton felt dizzy and breathless. He did not survive it, he died.
…
Blink!
Clinton woke up to see white light everywhere. “Where am I?”
“You are now before judgement”. A female voice reverberated.
Shocked, Clinton raised his head to look at her. She was an angel like depicted in books, with gigantic wings and an extremely cute face.
She had a huge book and on it’s cover had ‘Clinton’ written in bold.
“Stand before judgement as I read out your sins and your sentence”.
“…” Clinton was speechless, he could only look on as she continued.
“For being an arrogant prick, a womanizer who slept without remorse with your mate’s girlfriends, and for 999+ other sins that you have committed, you have been sentenced to life outside hell”.
“Hell is too good for you, you need to live another life, one more hellish than hell”.
“You have been sentenced to lifetime imprisonment in Planet #2122 as a low-tier undead in a Dungeon”.
By the time she looked through all his sins, this female angel was already so angry and pissed that her face was flushed. With hands shaking in anger, she picked the divine pen and started signing to seal his fate.
“P-please, spare me…” Clinton’s eyes widened in horror as the realization of his situation finally started settling in his mind.
“Spare me!”
Looking at the judgment book angrily, she saw the place where undead was written and without even thinking, the angry angel signed it.
“I condemn you to this prison you damned soul!”
Clinton only had time to catch a glimpse at the judgement book one last time, at where she signed.
>Miserable Undead…<
He could not see the rest part.
“Spare me…”
Clinton’s soul was booted to a long distant planet.

“Tsk!” The Holy Knight who already unsheathed its sword clicked its teeth in annoyance. “It escaped”.“Now, we’ll have to explain to the Lord”. Another one chipped in.To confirm, the 3 Holy Knights went closer to the edge of the World of Light, close to the abyss to peep in.Peeping, they saw the skeleton at the very bottom of the chasm.They gave up on him immediately at the sight but one of them commented. “He won’t survive for long; his own kind will devour him”.“They’re cannibals after all”.And then, the 3 Holy Knights turned to leave.…“F*ck!” Clinton cursed under his breath.At the bottom of this chasm, Clinton was in agony.The pain he was feeling was not even from the damage that he suffered itself. Rather, he felt that coming in contact with the white energy of that Holy Knight, whatever it is was what caused him this agony.Coming in contact with that white energy felt like darkness coming into contact with light, or like water coming into contact with fire.It was an en

‘Surviving is winning, Franklin’.‘Everything else is bullshit, fairytales spun by people afraid to look life in the eye’.‘Whatever it takes kid…, survive!’At this moment, Clinton felt himself resonating so much with these famous words from NPC game characters in his previous world.At this moment, to him, surviving really was winning.Heck, to him right now, surviving was everything.That f*cking Angel Athena sent him here to die right?Well, he would spite her and survive.To escape the 3 different species of enemies that his miserable undead system’s identification showed to him, Clinton had no choice but to disassemble his skeleton body again to hide under the roots of the tree.And since he made that choice, it had been 4 hours already.It was already more than 4 hours since he reincarnated into this world as a freaking lowly skeleton.Hidden under the roots of the tree, all Clinton wanted was to survive.For the first 2 hours, it was all smooth and easygoing until the already
Death of an Arrogant Prick; I Reincarnated as a Skeleton? Chapter 6: Survival
Every 10 minutes, Clinton would lose +0.1 of his total health points and since he had only 0.4 total health points remaining, he was on a time limit.Unless his situation changed, Clinton had only 40 minutes to live.The threat of death increased his yearning for survival even more, and for those final minutes of his life, Clinton planned for the first time in his life.He planned extensively, he schemed, he plotted to survive.During the first 20 minutes, remaining patient inside his lair under the roots of the decaying tree, Clinton observed every beast that passed.By now, he could tell already that this level of the dungeon was filled with only 3 species of creatures, the goblins, the undead trees, and the ogre.First sight of an Ogre and Clinton removed that specie from his planning.Till now, the weakest Ogre that he had seen was level 3.As a level 0 undead and considering that this was going to be his first fight since reincarnating, Clinton wanted nothing to do with something

In a skeleton body, it would only look creepy.He didn’t care about all that at this moment though, he was just happy.With 0.2 HP remaining, he only had 20 minutes to live in this world but all of a sudden, he managed to drag himself back from the deepest depths of hell, so why won’t he be happy?At this moment, he felt on top of the world.‘I did it!’Just a minute later as he celebrated though, the 2nd Undead Tree finally fell down dead as it was consumed by the fire.***{You ha

One hit from the level 5 apex predators could still leave him on the brink of death, this was why he was extra careful.Even more with an opponent like an un

‘Huh? How am I even supposed to do this?’While Clinton asked this question in his mind, the Stone Ogre who was frustrated to see that it was not crushing the tiny creatures before it suddenly jumped, hitting the roof of this cave then it came crashing back down with force.It hit the ground with devastating force, then…KABOOM!…Earthquake Stomp!Hitting the humans with one of its trademark active skills, this powerful Stone Ogre caused a literal earthquake as the humans staggered.Watching the tiny creatures stagger disorderly, some even panicking, the Stone Ogre’s eyes gleamed deviously as it chomped down with its sharp stone teeth at one of the humans.But at the last moment, a dagger crossed its path.Clang!The clear ringing sound of 2 hard objects colliding reverberated.It was the level 12 human.In the world of this dungeon, to combat the powerful beasts, humans evolved, awakening different powers under myriad classes.Some awakened as mage classes, others as assassin classes

Chapter 32: In the lair of a level 5 Stone Ogre
In the decaying forest, what were Stone Ogres?Stone Ogres were the most terrible of the 3 types of monsters that took the first level of this dungeon, the decaying forest as their home.The Green Goblins were the weakest, their main weaknesses being their vulnerable skin and weak strength.It was why they hurdled together in the biggest packs.The Undead Trees had tough hides but this was undone by their blatant weakness to fire. With fire, they become vulnerable.As for the Stone Ogres though, they were the real OGs of the decaying forest.They had stone skin as tough as nails. They were slow, but their impenetrable defense more than made up for it.They were literal tanks.Of the 3 types of monsters in the decaying forest, the Stone Ogres were the only types brave enough to move alone around this forest, even the lower-leveled ones. They were scared of no one.In a way, they were the apex predators of the decaying forest.And right now, Clinton was now hiding in the lair of one of

“He’s still alive”.“He’s there”.Clinton raised his head and saw… humans.He raised his head right in time to notice one of the more overenthusiastic humans reveal his head past the boundary of the world of light into the slope, into the boundary of the decaying forest only to be affected by a strange dark power.This power seemed to have rotting properties.“Ahhh!”The young human who seemed inexperienced immediately grabbed his face in horror as the other humans reacted.“You fool, stand still!”Clinton recognized that human. It was the lady among the first 3 humans he met in this world that was a mage.Raising her staff up, she spoke a word as green light left her staff, coalescing on the face of the other human as the strange dark power was expelled.His skin that also started being eroded by the dark power was healed.‘Healing magic’. Clinton deduced immediately. ‘But why?’Thinking deeper into it, he understood. ‘Humans are not allowed in the world of darkness?’He was puzzled

Chapter 29: Reconciliation
Clinton was subjected to the greatest reality check of his 18 years of existence.For the first time in his life, he was made to understand that he was nobody.For the first time in his life, he was made to understand where he stood in the grand scheme of things.He was made to understand that he was just a cog in the grand wheel of existence, a cog that could be rejected and discarded at wheel.For the first time in his life, he felt ugly.For the first time in his life, he understood rejection.All these were things and emotions that Clinton had never experienced in his 18 years of existence before now and as expected, experiencing it was draining.“Uhh,” Clinton groaned as his hollow eyes looked at the gloomy skies of this forest. “Now would be a good time to end it all, right?”As soon as he muttered that, he let the seed of thought generate in his head, watered by his emotions as it blossomed into a sapling and then a big tree.The idea of committing suicide was getting more prom
