[Sappharix Nation] [Aldenland Town] [Rosewarth Castle]

"Ahhhhh..."

"That was some good night's sleep."

"Oh... what the hell is this smell?"

"Hey... System, what happened?"

Lucas jumped out of his bed, covered in sweat and dirt. A pungent smell came from his body.

[Blood System] "The Host's body went through an evolution... Evolution Time: 10 hours."

"Impurities flushed out from the host's body... Result: Pungent smell and impure substances."

"Wow... I slept for 10 hours?" Lucas stretched his body. For the first time, he slept peacefully without any worries. 

Lucas's heart became lighter after sharing his secrets and burdens with his parents. He once again decided to trust people closer to him.

"Hey System, stop calling me host and call me by my name, Lucas."

"Awwwk... this awful smell... must take a long bath."

"Eeww... what did you do? Hurry, take a bath."
