章 356: Volume V - Chapter 74: Beauty Itself

A warmth I couldn't quite make sense of enveloped my body... and my eyes blinked with it.

As soon as my eyes opened slightly and my body started to regain sensation, an excruciating pain spread through all of me.

It was so intense that I couldn't even scream, I couldn't even let out a simple moan. I could only... wait. I couldn't even resist.

Seconds passed, then minutes.

The pain didn't lessen, on the contrary... it increased. As if in response to my silent screams, as if it wanted to hurt me even more... non-stop.

I fainted, but before I could even be sure if I had really fainted, the pain returned once more.

*******

Hours passed, maybe more... or less?

I started to get used to the pain, slowly... still feeling it all the time.

I kept fainting, I kept waking up. I wished to die, I wished to be saved... But no matter how much I suffered, my soul refused to leave my body. And... I kept getting used to the pain.
