Chapter 4
In my previous life, I was locked up in this facility for three whole months.
With an F-rank body, I hadn’t been able to escape—not when I was kidnapped, not when they experimented on me.
They usually drained the captives of their blood and forced them to use their powers until they were completely spent.
Because I had the ability to restore others’ stamina through physical contact, they’d often drag me out of my cell to help recover the strength of others who had collapsed from testing.
The Central Lab was the worst of them all.
But the day I was dragged to the Central Lab... that was different.
I still remembered it clearly.
The guards had stormed into my cell without warning, restrained me, and hauled me into the Central Lab.
Unable to resist, I was injected with some unknown drug from a syringe while bound, gagged, and blindfolded.
After that, all I could feel was agony.
Like I was being burned alive—scorching heat, like I was being dissected with knives from the inside out.
I couldn’t even scream. All I could do was endure that hellish pain for an entire day. Over ten times across those three months.
