The drink flushed down my throat, entering my digestive system all at once.
Given how I suspected it to be tapped, it was a pretty wild move, wasn't it?
But in reality, I downed it all in one go exactly for that reason.
If the potential poison was posed to act slowly and gradually, I wouldn't be able to feel a thing by drinking bit by bit.
On the other hand, if the added content to the drink was supposed to act quickly, it didn't matter whether I downed it all or if I sipped it sip by sip. After all, my digestive system would require time to absorb a greater quantity of the potential poison.
That's why going all-in on my bet wasn't something that I did out of impulse but a calculated action.
When my throat dried up, I raised my head and waited. For a few moments, I waited, making only the small moves to be able to notice any problems with my perception and sense of balance.
But nothing really happened.
Okay guys, here is the thing.
The next chapter... Will be tough. Both to write and to read. If I don't want you to all drop out right away, I need to make sure that you will get another chapter right away. That's why, even though I will write the next chapter before going out, I won't manage to write another one.
That's why, next two chapters will appear closer to the reset time, once I return, write them both, so that I will be able to release them one by one.
Sorry for the inconvenience, but once you read what's next, you will understand.
