Capítulo 132: 129 Dream (5)

_Another week and a few days passed. And my fate hadn't changed.

I was still the poor sod I was a week before. Although my left palm got a lot better, still not to the point where I could put pressure on it. Then there were the lashes that were added on every day of my incompetence. It hadn't been any bit easier on me.

Today I was supposed to get eighty lashes on my back.

I couldn't sleep the last day when I got seventy lashes. That pain was still fresh in my mind even though a day passed. Not to mention, the marks that were accumulating on my back.

I had one freebie left and I would be using that tomorrow for all that matters. Hopefully, I would be able to meet the quota before I die on the punishment stand.

Hopefully.

But that wouldn't change my fate, would it? I would still be slaving away my life, knowing there was a broader world where magic was real. It wasn't simply a shōnen manga that I could free myself of this cursed fate out of sheer willpower and courage.
