Lex lay on his bed trying to go to sleep, but his arms were in too much pain and kept him awake. He'd practiced a lot at the shooting range and his aim and accuracy improved considerably. The price, other than the actual price, was that all the muscles in his arms were incredibly sore and his joints hurt. He wanted to try and heal normally as he couldn't afford to pay in MP at the moment, especially since he had to upgrade the Recovery room for Marlo.
"Oh my beloved MP, where art thou?" Lex whispered, clearly suffering from sleep deprivation. But his drowsy musings were cut short by Mary, who appeared to tell him Marlo had already completed the trial! It hadn't even been a full day!
Hey guys, just wanted to let you know that I'll be changing my release rate for a bit. I'll be releasinng 1 chapter a day every weekday instead of the usual 2. I might change this if I ever get contracted, but for now it'll have to be 1. Also, I'm putting a pause on the extra chapters for Power Stones for now, but I still appreciate them so feel free to fuel my motivation by voting :P
