Lazily Yours.

Gabi let out a sharp sigh as she thought of the rules again. She had realized why this place feels like hell. It was indeed called Tartarus for a reason.

According to the myths, Tartarus is a place where the titans were locked. It's dark and very dangerous too.

Endless fighting and survival are indeed very hard to do. They cannot assassinate their opponents, but they could challenge someone every twelve hours and as long as you are still conscious, you cannot refuse the challenge! And the only way for you to leave this camp is to actually become crippled or someone who is unable to fight anymore.

What kind of camp is this?

What are these people? Gabi complained inwardly. What kind of training is this? Letting them fight every twelve hours is torture! Even if you are an expert in martial arts, avoiding injuries is still hard. Injuries are unavoidable. While thinking about these, Gabi was washing her dishes. She had the option to go to the canteen for everyone, but she chose to just cook everything inside her fridge. She wasn't an excellent cook in any way, but she could still make something edible.

According to the rules, fresh supplies will arrive every three days. However, since she won't be able to cook when the training starts, Gabi thought it would be good to take advantage of these supplies now.

*Crash*

Gabi gasped when the glass accidentally slip from her hand. Shaking her head, she immediately started picking up the shattered pieces. It seems that the rules really bothered her this time. No matter what she does, she couldn't stop thinking about those rules. She felt a little nervous and agitated at the same time. Her anxiety isn't helping her at all!

She finally escaped the clutches of Alfons and now there is a possibility that she might die here!

However, she wasn't planning to give up either.

"Aw!" Gabi hissed when one of the broken pieces pierced her palm. She unknowingly clenched her hand because of her newfound determination, but forgot that she was still holding the glasses. "Ugh…" She threw the broken glass and immediately wash her hand. The tingling sensation woke her up from her stupor earlier. What was she thinking? Why was she thinking of dying again?

It seems that dying in her past life really traumatized her. She started wondering if she should see someone for therapy. Sadly, she couldn't really say these things to anyone or they would think she had gone crazy.

"Hmmm?" Gabi withdrew her hand from the water and squinted her eyes at the small cut.

It wasn't there anymore!

Was she hallucinating just now?

No, that's impossible. She felt the pain and that itchy… wait… why would she feel itchiness? It was supposed to hurt! Itchiness only happens if the wound is healing!

She held her hand near her face and stared at her palm. Not even a scar can be seen in her hands. But the sensation earlier…

She immediately went to the garbage and rummage the glass. Her eyes soon widened. Just as she expected, there was blood on one of the broken pieces! She wasn't hallucinating!

Then…

Again, she looked at her palm, then shifted her gaze towards the blood. It was still fresh, as it happened just a few minutes back.

But where is the wound?

She turned her hand around and even started looking at her elbows and arms. No wounds. She also checked her other arm and again, no wound.

She bit her lower lip as she sat on the bed. Did her wound just heal?

Obviously, the first thing that came into her mind was the nanoparticles that Aden gave her. Aden told her there would be side effects, but he never said anything about being healing. Isn't this like a superpower?

To confirm, Gabi got a knife from the kitchen and gave her index finger a minor cut. It wasn't big, but it was definitely bigger than what she had earlier. Just as she expected, the cuts almost immediately disappeared. However, since this cut is bigger than the previous one, it didn't disappear immediately. It took a couple of minutes before the wound finally closed. However, the pain took a few more minutes before it disappeared.

Still, this is enough to make her excited. Aden's face flashed in her head. Was it deliberate? Aden knew that she was still weak, yet he actually sent her here. Moreover, he knew what kind of place is this? So… why would he send her here if he wasn't confident that she would survive?

But… why did he hide this fact from her?

Was it because he was scared that she would expose it? But staying in this camp will definitely expose her secrets! If she would fight people every day and heal the next day, then people would surely wonder what was wrong! What if they would experiment on her? What if… they would catch Aden and make him tell them his secrets?

If that happens… it would be very unfortunate!

No. She couldn't let that happen. She needed to keep his secret safe. And to do that, she needed to avoid any injuries! She can't expose this ability and risk exposing Aden's identity!

For some reason, she couldn't calm down. Gabi started pacing inside the room. Should she warn him? As the top one, she could send letters, right? And since the training didn't start yet, she try asking Mr. Ma about calling Aden. With this in mind, she grabbed her card and went out of her room.

It was still noon time so she could see a few people walking in the hall where the dormitories were located. To find a guard, Gabi needed to go to the floor below hers where the dormitories and canteen were located.

"Hey… you— "

"Excuse me… we are calling you."

Gabi stooped walking and turned towards the three people who called her.

"You are a trainee, right?" the woman with a short bob asked. Gabi nodded in response. The three people in front of her were tall and muscular. Their skin was honeyed, probably from the sun. The three of them reminded her of warriors from those movies that she saw.

"How come we haven't seen you around?" the woman continued asking. She examined Gabi's small frame and squinted. "Are you the one who ranked first this time?"
