Yep, I had broken another rule of mine. I touched a powerful magical item without any proper preparation.
Why would I do something so crazy?
It was the easiest way to instigate my death without me having to wield Hrunting against myself. I mean, seppuku sounded extremely agonizing. However, it was debatable if slicing my stomach open with a blade was more painful than the pain I was feeling right now.
To explain the sensation of having my life sucked out of me by Gleipnir's chain would do it no justice. Just imagine the worst pain you'd ever felt and then multiply that by ten. That might be a fraction of what I was currently experiencing.
Sadly, I wasn't allowed to give in and lose my mind to the pain. I had to grit my teeth and endure this heart-crushing agony of death's touch on my flesh while burying myself in the task at hand.
"R-reversion!" I howled.
