Chapter 253: Tutorial 2

Morning arrived, the soft breeze flowing through the open window carrying with it the scent of dew-kissed earth.

Rays of sunlight poured in, bathing the room in a golden glow.

A beautiful and refreshing morning… or at least, that's what it was supposed to be.

My body trembled as though pierced by a thousand invisible thorns, each one sinking into my heart and throat. It was as if I were bleeding, yet no wounds marred my skin.

The pain was overwhelming—foreign yet strangely familiar, like a distant memory clawing its way back into focus.

A nostalgic torment of something I couldn't remember ever experiencing.

Was this the same as last time?
