Without any other option, Leon forced himself to relocate the bones of his arms using the weight of his body. Immediately afterward, he obtained control over his right arm, but the pain he felt made him sweat cold. Not only that, he saw that his health had decreased. Leon felt like he was harming himself like that, but he had to do that again since the lower half of his right arm was broken.
Leon clenched his teeth and did it again; once again, the pain made him feel shivers, but this time he didn’t see any notifications. Things were getting complicated, he suffered damage, and his vision was getting cloudy again. He still had to fix his legs, even just one would be enough, as long as he can move his body away from the shore.
Leon tried to move his legs a little to have a good grasp of how his legs were. When he did it, a sharp pain coming from his knees crossed his entire being and made him tremble.
“Great... both my knees are completely broke.”
It looked like that was the only part that was damaged, so Leon forced himself to make that last effort. It would be painful as hell, but he had to do it. He put his four free points in recovery and then spun his entire body. Before losing his consciousness, Leon felt another wave of pain, the smell of blood, and heard flesh being pierced by bones.

When Leon woke up, the pain in his upper body had disappeared. It looked like his collarbones and arms weren’t all that bad and managed to recover from the damage. However, Leon froze and started to sweat cold when he saw the condition of his knees. His legs were fine, but his knees... both of his knees had been destroyed, and he could see the cracked bones with his own eyes. Leon wasn’t a doctor, but it looked like not even a surgery would be able to repair them completely.
“... No, I will be fine... I will find a way to solve this.”
Leon breathed deeply several times to calm his nerves and said that to convince himself that there was a way. He wouldn’t lose his legs like that; he definitely wouldn’t. Leon started to think while checking his body. Although his clothes were in tatters and covered in blood, he was completely fine. It didn’t even look like he had fallen from an airplane, everything aside from his knees were also fine, but he couldn’t move his feet due to the severity of his knees situation.
“That is weird... I thought recovery would heal my body no matter what.”
Leon counted from one to six hundred, but he didn’t feel that sensation of energy filling his body. He checked his status screen and noticed that his health was full. There was only one explanation, his body wouldn’t completely heal if there was a chance that could damage itself even more.
“I can do this... I don’t know what the hell is going on, but crazy and magic things are happening. I’m sure I can find a way to heal my knees.”
Leon looked around and confirmed that he was indeed on a beach of a tropical island. It seemed to be pretty big, but he didn’t recall seeing it while he was falling. That being said, it couldn’t be far away from the point the airplane fell. Despite that, there was no sign of the passengers or the pieces of the plane.
“If only I could find some medicine to relieve the pain... I could use it to numb my senses and force my bones to return to their places.”
Leon would probably lose control over his body before he can pull that crazy plan in action, but it was the only thing he could logically do. Considering the illogical stuff he could do, he could retort to magic, he apparently learned those skills, so there was a chance that he could learn a skill to heal wounds.
“I’m crazy... Why I am thinking of something so stupid... but if I survive an airplane crash, then I should be able to learn magic.”
It didn’t make sense, but at that point in time, Leon couldn’t tell what was reasonable and what wasn’t. Despite that, he decided to explore the island instead of doing something dubious, like trying to chant a spell.
Congratulations! You have learned the skill: Strong Arms. You obtained 01 status points. |
Leon finally learned his first active skill; it was weird learning skills like that since the only thing he really did was try to crawl. Fortunately, he didn’t have to do silly things like calling the name of the skill to activate it, just by thinking, his arms got strong enough to let him move without putting much effort. However, every ten seconds, he would lose stamina, and that made him feel tired.
“It doesn’t matter… I just have to wait for the recovery to do its magic.”
Pushing his lower body like that wasn’t pleasant, but once he left the beach and started to crawl on the grass, things got easier to Leon. There was a pretty decent forest in front of him, so the chances of him finding food and medicinal herbs were quite good. The problem was, Leon didn’t know how to recognize medicinal herbs or plants.

is he sadistic perhaps..?
No god of sadism
look interesting ty for chapter :)
“Great... both my knees are completely broke.”
Well. I guess they spent too much money wondering around the world... I'll show myself out.
Damn I didnt know that airplanes carry arrows on them.
So he earns a skill just by using his arms....
Crawling. Also, like if you move your arms while swinging a sword he might gain chop.
Pain res = killing your nerves

am i the only one that thinks he has realized and accepted the existence of magic way to fast? like i know his plane was attacked by what appeared to have been a dragon, he is seeing stats and he just survived a plane crash, but would magic really be the first conclusion one would jump to? He has not been shown any indisputable proof of magic yet, i just feel as if he should have been jumping to other conclusions first before defaulting to magic as the explanation for his current circumstances. i mean he just regained consciousness after a very confusing experience is in a lot of pain and he is already like "i will use magic and find a way to heal my shattered knees that can't be fixed with modern medical technology."
I understand your point of view, but in my opinion it isn't unbelievable coz I would probably think the same, it's like the easiest way to get through this if he can get a healing magic. And it looks like some hours have passed already so he had the time to think a little bit. (I forgot but he also has a mana stat so it's kind of logical that magic exists)
If I see a dragon flying and a magical status healing my wounds I would not doubt the existence of something like magic.
@Daeonia prior to this magic absolutely did not exist. something crazy and traumatic happens and you immediately believe its because something that absolutely did not exist and was just fantasy is now real? furthermore, he only saw the dragon for a moment, the rest of the incident happened very fast and would leave little time to think especially since half the time he was dizzy. as for his wounds from what i gathered most of the healing was done while h e was unconscious, so again no indisputable proof at this point. immediately believing it was magic would be irrational, because as i said it was something that absolutely did not exist in the world. to give an example about how some other authors did this, take harry potter, a lot of magical things happened to him and in front of him but despite this he didn't immediately believe he was a wizard when Hagrid showed up and told him "you're a wizard harry" nah he needed a bit more convincing, and he was a child, who's mind is a bit more flexible and accepting of such things when faced with a situation that challenges something you know to be a truth. so unless they are actively trying to escape reality, I.E. mentally unstable, it would be much harder for an adult to accept.
@Primezurker Boy that is a long comment, to address every point individually will take me a while.
1. Prior to this dragons and status screens didn't exist, something traumatic has nothing to do with it. Right in front of his eyes things that are impossible without surpassing the laws of physics or technology so advanced it is indistinguishable from magic are happening in front of him, such as a status screen appearing right in front of him and saving his life from falling right out of the sky will easily snap you out of any disbelief you may have had beforehand.
2. He started thinking about magic long after he recovered from the initial damage was done and he had had at least a days of time to think things over. Do not be mistaken by your modern sensibilities when you don't have other people around or a smartphone to distract you a day is a lot of time to think things over. Just a few weeks of being alone in a forest is enough to drive a person insane, a day is more than enough to think of the possibility of magic especially after being confronted by it so directly during the accident.
3. No need to look at the recovery for magic having a status screen that can instantly heal some of his body by increasing the health stat as he did right after the accident is more than enough instant proof while conscious.
4. Harry Potter is an entirely different character and an entirely different story do not equate them, characters are as varied as people. Just like we have people who despite being mostly sane easily belief conspiracy theories and also people who will ignore evidence right in front of their face so do characters have their differences, the ability to accept the situation and adapt would just be one of our MC.
5. Your children point was addressed in the previous one
6. Just as their are people who never change their mind after they believe something to be true, so too are there people who can entertain ideas they find completely absurd and change their mind when being confronted by an event that proves them. In fact there is an entire personality trait in the most respected model for personality by psychologists (The Big Five Personality Traits): Openness.
@Primezurker amigo, en una situación así hay 2 opciones, o consideras que te as vuelto equisofrenico y te dejas morir pensando que es solo un delirio o decides que lo que ves es real y tratas de sobrevivir, en una mueres y la otra vives, cual crees que el instinto de superveniencia eligiera apoyar? ademas sinceramente, estoy asta las bolas de personajes que les cuesta aceptar los sucesos sobrenaturales y mas cuando las dos opciones son esas, incluso si decides que estas loco al menos mejor disfrutar de tu locura que negar todo ll que ves y mas cuando potencialmente puedes morir
