With a suffocating gasp, I shot my eyes open and sat back up. I rubbed my bleary eyes and tried looking around through a bottle-glass blur.
Huffing and puffing, I felt my heart raging like a wild rabid beast, smashing against my chest to the point where even taking a full breath was painful.
Gods, could this be a heart attack? Am I seriously having a heart attack?! What the actual fuck?!
No, on second thought, it couldn't be a heart attack!
My body was awakened to mana. My physical stats were also good. No way I'd suffer from something so mundane as a heart attack.
"Gaah!"
But as a low guttural growl of pain escaped through my lips again, I began to doubt my earlier assumption.
Fortunately, a medic quickly rushed to my side and started chanting a healing magic spell to relax my violently wrenching cardiac muscles.
Slowly, my breathing began to calm down and my heart started to beat a little more rhythmically.
