Whooooshâ
A gust of wind swept past, sending a shiver down my spine.
Sensing the chill, I slowly lifted my eyelids.
"â¦Hrk."
I staggered as I pushed myself upright, shaking off the hazy fog in my mind.
I tried to clear my head, but for some reason, it wasnât easy.
I circulated my energy.
Bzzzâ!
As the energy coursed through my body, my senses sharpened, and clarity returned almost instantly.
"Cough. Ptuh."
I let out a dry cough and wiped my lips with the back of my hand.
How had things ended up like this?
As I dug through my memories, the last thing I recalled surfaced.
"Ohâ!"
The moment it hit me, I flinched violently, my gaze darting around.
I had been with Yarang.
When I opened my eyes, I had been on her back, being carried somewhere.
After that, we had arrived in an unfamiliar space.
And thenâ
âThe fruit.â
I had swallowed that damn fruit against my will.
I had no idea what it was, and I had panicked, but the real problem wasâ
âI blacked out again.â
Whether it was because of the fruit or not, an unfamiliar energy had surged through my body, and I had lost consciousness.
And now, I was awake again.
Turning my head, I scanned my surroundings.
âWhat the hell?â
I narrowed my eyes at the sight before me.
The place Yarang had taken me to had been entirely unfamiliar.
But nowâ
âThis isâ¦â
This place was eerily familiar.
âIsnât this where I collapsed before?â
It was the exact spot where I had passed out after escaping from Yahwol Palace.
