I Am Stuck In A Beta Test For 1000 Years-Chapter 463 - 464

The thumping of his heart had overshadowed everything else.

Even though his body had sufficient blood supply, his back was cold, and his mind seemed to be numb from fear.

His legs went weak and he almost could not stand steadily…

Cold sweat soaked through her underwear and stuck to her body like armor.

However, the part against the copper pipe was shockingly hot…

Ulysses closed his eyes tightly, and his beautiful eyelashes trembled.

The frustration brought by all kinds of discomfort was so strong that he was unwilling to leave.

I don’t want to stay any longer…

He only wanted to escape.

Just like before, she would find a corner and curl up…

Or maybe he should just die like this…

No, no, no.

Something was wrong.

He couldn’t die…

Death was even more terrifying.

They were afraid of the darkness and pain…

But what could he do?

His entire body was curled up into a ball, his head buried in his knees, and his body was twitching violently.

His grandmother’s cold command seemed to ring in his ears.

From the moment he could remember until now, it was like a cold cyclone.

He seemed to have already anticipated the scolding and punishment that would come with running away…

” Holy Tree descendant trash!”

“Freaks of the Freyed family!”

” An incompetent heir, born a mistake!”

Just imagining these scenes made him breathless…

He sank deeper and deeper into the quagmire of fear and despair…

Who can save me?

Who can save me…

Suddenly, Ulysses felt someone pat him on the shoulder.

“Hello…”

The voice seemed to come from afar, but it was also very close.

However, he was still unwilling to raise his head.

Ulysses, if you don’t want to continue, you can quit.”

What was that?

Would there be such an order?

Ulysses opened his eyes as if he had just woken up from a dream.

He looked at Shaya blankly.

“Don’t you understand?

I mean you can quit–do you hear me?

You can quit at any time.

There’s no need to force yourself.”

Shaya shrugged and sat down beside him.

” Since your grandmother wants you to listen to my orders, then it’s very simple.

Answer me if you want to continue down this path.

If you don’t want to, I’ll take you directly out of Copper Street and forfeit the competition.”

Hearing this, the young man’s eyes dimmed.

“S-Sorry…”

pa

Shaya slapped the pipe with a crisp sound.

But as soon as he raised his hand, Ulysses reflexively hugged his head.

He was probably used to being beaten like this.

“What the f * ck are you apologizing for?”

Shaya raised her voice.

” An apology is a promise.

It means that you have truly recognized your mistake, so you beg the victim’s forgiveness and promise not to do it again.

And-you-why are you saying ‘apology’?

Was he trying to curry favor with others by constantly making concessions?

To reduce your guilt?”

“No, that’s not it…”

“Then who are you apologizing to?

What does your forfeit have to do with me?”

“No…I-I’ve disappointed you and Grandmother…”

“So you have to apologize?”

Shaya was so angry that she laughed.

“‘Disappointing’ is obviously the result that you caused.

You clearly only want to avoid your responsibilities and problems, but you put yourself in the position of the victim.

Just ‘sorry’ makes you seem pitiful.

Do you still think that you are the most wronged person in the world?

Do you feel that everything has gone wrong and that it’s all the fault of the environment that you’ve come to this point?

It has nothing to do with you?”

“Isn’t that so?”

Ulysses stood up abruptly with tears in his eyes.

” Isn’t it??”

“Isn’t-is-!”

The grievances that had accumulated for a long time seemed to have found an outlet and were completely released at once.

“I had no choice from the beginning!”

“Has anyone heard my thoughts?”

“Does anyone care about my choice?”

“No, I didn’t.

No, no!”

The young man cried loudly.

His eyes were red and his emotions were full.

He was completely different from the obedient Ulysses in the past.

Faced with his accusation, Shaya’s expression changed at the speed of light.

His tone also returned to normal as he said softly,”That’s more like it…” Then why didn’t you do this earlier?”

“..”

Ulysses was stunned.

Logically speaking, shouldn’t such a rebellion attract even harsher criticism?

But…

But why was it recognized?

It was as if he had punched cotton with all his strength.

The young man was at a loss and stood rooted to the ground.

” If you had shown such a resolute attitude and imposing manner from the beginning,” Shaya continued,” would you not have been able to refuse?” No, you didn’t.

You were just running away.

” You avoid making decisions, avoiding choices, and then avoiding the choices you were forced to make.

Because you didn’t make the decision, you have a greater reason to continue avoiding it.

Then, the cycle continues.

Until now, you still think that you are powerless and that you are forced to move forward.”

Ulysses lowered his head, unable to say a word.

He was angry and aggrieved.

The pressure that he had vented out was still accumulating in his chest.

“..

It’s just that it’s easy to say.

I’m not as powerful as you and can choose…”

“Okay, remember what you said.

In other words, the crux of the matter is that you are not strong enough, right?

What if you are strong enough?”

“W-what?” Ulysses was stunned.

What are you talking about…”

“Leitaniya and Robini (Ulysses ‘parents) did their best to let you live, not to let you live in pain.

You should still remember Robini’s words,’ No matter what, life is beautiful’…Otherwise, with such a terrible childhood, it would be impossible for you to live until now, let alone write so many words beyond your age…

” You must remember, Mr.

Poet.

Although your words seem to be filled with despair and disgust for this world, in reality, you still live more passionately than anyone else…”

Ulysses stared at Shaya in a daze, tears streaming down uncontrollably.

His terrible life was acknowledged by others at this moment.

There was nothing better than this.

The light that usually required all one’s strength to catch…

The light that brought comfort in the darkness…

In that instant, his entire body was illuminated.

” We always say that no one is born strong,” Shaya said.” Power will not land on a person who is waiting for it.” However, you are an exception.

If he took a step back in order to fulfill his wish, he would have to take ten steps back to fulfill even more wishes.

So, stop running, Ulysses.

The key to power is right in front of you.”

He reached out his hand and clenched his fist with his palm facing down.

Ulysses subconsciously reached out his hand.

In the next second, the pitch-black cane lay flat in his palm.

” This is the key to unlocking ‘strength’.

Try to hold it…”

The young man gripped his cane tightly.

The sense of fulfillment brought by his palm made him inexplicably calm down.

He suddenly felt the cold, disgusting voices in his ears fade away.

It was as if he was not holding a cane, but a hand.

A reassuring power was continuously transmitted from this hand, and he was slowly rising from the endless swamp.

Ulysses closed his eyes tightly, and his slightly trembling body gradually calmed down.

He did not notice that the fine cracks on the cane were filled with a gentle light.

Shaya stared at the scene thoughtfully.

No matter what kind of change Ulysses had, it was not just a psychological effect.

Clearly, Ulysses ‘mother had not completely removed the curse power from her bloodline.

She might have completed 90%, or even 99% of the work, and the remaining impure impurities were still interfering with Ulysses’ heart.

Now, with the help of the Sword of Silver Oak, the youth took the initiative to purify these impurities for the first time.

For this kind of problematic youth, simple psychological guidance was no longer useful.

It had to be supplemented with drugs to solve the problem physically and defeat magic with magic.

It was obvious that the Silver Oak Sword was one of them.

The light only lasted for half a minute before it disappeared.

This half a minute seemed to be especially long for Ulysses, so much so that when he opened his eyes, he seemed to be a different person.

The young man’s timid gaze disappeared and was replaced by a divine light that rose again.

Although it was not sharp, it was firm enough.

“Mr.

Shaya.”

He held his cane with both hands and walked to Shaya seriously.

“I want to hire you as my guard.”

He reached out and handed the cane that symbolized power to Shaya.

” It’s my honor, Your Excellency Ulysses.”

Shaya smiled, took the weapon that belonged to her, and completed the ritual.

” Then, your goal is-”

“Leave this place.” Ulysses ‘gaze was firm.” I want to leave this place and tell Grandmother Trisha that I will withdraw from the election.”

Shaya was not surprised to hear this answer.

If he suddenly acted out of character and said something like ” I want to become the Son of God “, it would be really confusing.

Shaya would suspect that something had possessed his brain.

” Alright, the contract is concluded, my employer friend.”

Shaya heaved a sigh of relief.

The biggest unsettling factor was settled.

At the same time.

[Ulysses ‘favorability towards you has increased.

Current status: Best Friend]

What the hell?

He couldn’t help but look at Ulysses again, as if their eyes were locked.

The young man avoided him somewhat awkwardly.

F * ck?

With Shaya’s countless experience in raiding, this was definitely not an ordinary favorable impression…
