"Nngh..." Alex felt a severe headache assaulting him as he slowly parted his eyes and allowed himself to first relax his breathing.
Something very serious happened. He was poisoned and was on the verge of leaving this world.
All the planning and preparation for the big tournament and the plans after the event, all seemed to have left his mind when he was inches away from his end.
It was sudden and unexpected.
Not the Gods or any warrior pushed him so close to death. Rather, it was a cup of milk. Crazy.
Slowly lifting himself, he found two familiar faces resting their heads on the bed and sleeping peacefully.
Alex heaved a sigh, seeing the red marks at the corner of their eyes and how pale they seemed.
He couldn't even start to think how worried they must be when he was out.
[Your girl slapped me. Twice.]
"..!!" Alex was startled to hear the Curse's voice in his head, and the words he relayed were quite shocking as well.
