Chapter 9:
Making of a Goddess
Rin staggered toward the magic circle, every inch of her body aching from the avalanche-induced boss fight she had just barely survived.
The teleportation circle glowed faintly, almost as if whispering, “Come, child, let me end your misery.”
She collapsed onto it without hesitation.
DING!

Processing…

Light engulfed her, and she felt the familiar sensation of being violently flung through time and space.
Her entire life in this world had been one long nightmare.
She had punched through the magma age, swum across the ocean age, suffered through the ice age, and had been repeatedly smacked around by every single boss monster she encountered.
And now?
Now she was done.
She just wanted to breathe for one damn second—
Then, suddenly, the teleportation stopped.
And Rin found herself floating in a strange void.
It was dark, vast, and filled with glowing golden threads that pulsed like veins of power.
In front of her, a massive, glowing notification window appeared.

DING!

Rin blinked.
“…Wait, what?”
Suddenly, the golden threads around her surged.
A blinding wave of energy washed over her, filling her body with pure, overwhelming power.
Her muscles tensed. Her skin glowed.
Something deep inside her changed.

DING!
[NEW TRAIT ACQUIRED: SUFFERING CONVERSION]

Rin stared at the notifications, her brain struggling to process what just happened.
She slowly raised a hand and punched herself in the face.
Nothing.
No pain.
Not even a tickle.
Her eyes widened.
“…I CAN’T FEEL ANYTHING.”
She punched herself harder.
Still nothing.
Her breathing quickened.
“…I’M INVINCIBLE.”
She cackled, throwing her hands in the air.
“FINALLY! THE SYSTEM ISN’T SCREWING ME OVER FOR ONCE!”
She jumped, spun, and kicked midair, feeling the raw, overwhelming power coursing through her body.
Then, one final notification popped up.
---
DING!
[Final Power Adjustment Complete!]
Time Jump Resuming…
---
The void collapsed around her as she was launched forward through time once again.
As the light engulfed her, Rin couldn’t stop grinning.
Because now?
Now, she was ready.
No more suffering. No more getting bodied by giant monsters.
Now, she was the strongest thing in this entire world.
And nothing was going to stop her.
