From the Start, I Awakened Damage Mimicry and Became a God by Taking Hits!
[Ding! Host detected being mauled by a zombie dog. S-rank golden finger activated: Damage Mimicry!]
“Poison infiltrating my body? I’ll steal it in reverse. Poison resistance +10086!”
[Ding! A Licker’s tongue spike pierced your chest. You gained ‘Flesh Regeneration Lv. 3.’ The more hits you take, the longer your health bar gets!]
“A Tyrant smashed my ribs with one punch? Hilarious. Next second: ‘Bone Strength +200%.’ I’ll break his wrist in return!”
[Ding! Congratulations, Host. You have taken over 100,000 points of damage in total. Passive ability unlocked: ‘Damage Is the Truth.’ All damage you take is converted into permanent stats!]
Everyone stares at the man who gets more overpowered the closer he is to death, falling silent as one. “Wait, why does he take the worst beating but level up the fastest?!”
Lu Xing spits out the blood in his mouth and grins. “Don’t cheer me on. Keep it up and I’ll become a god.”
(His little sister is still in the hospital bed, fragments of Zero’s memories are flashing, and the Abyss Overlord is watching from behind the scenes…)
“For the next instance, I’m thinking of tanking a nuclear bomb. Anyone know how I can arrange that?”
