Chapter 98: An introduction into a world you’ve never known
Cass woke up slowly the next morning. Without Sam around, he had no timer, no duties, nothing. It felt...strange to just, open his eyes and stare up at the fucking mural without Sam prattling on next to him.
Cass shifted in the bed, the sheets sliding against his skin as he rolled around in the bed, flopping this way and that.
What was he doing?
Nothing happened in the night like he had worried, and nothing strange happened again. He was hungry though, and thanks to the small stash of non-perishable food that Sam made sure he had, and knew where it was, Cass could make something for himself, and he could warm up some water for himself.
He’d learned how to warm up water with magic, so that was exciting. It felt like he was living out his true isekai dreams, and he giggled like a schoolgirl as he sat, tea pot filled with the ’safe’ water, his hands against either side and said the magic words.
He had a wide smile on his lips when steam began to rise from the tea pot.
It was...a slow morning, but it wasn’t unenjoyable. He didn’t know what he was expecting to happen to him, but he got to lay around in his god awful bedroom and read, drink tea, eat a few cookies that were safe, and that was pretty much it.
He did feel a few body aches every now and then, but that was about it. At least, for the first half of the morning. When it began to hit mid afternoon, Cass started to feel a bit warm.
His heart began to feel like it was pumping a bit too much in his chest, and he felt short of breath. When he checked his forehead he could tell that he had a bit of a fever, but he wasn’t sure what to do.
Should he take some of the healing tonic? Would that help? Probably not for something like a fever, right?
Despite being ’modern medicine’ it was kind of used like a snake oil product. A fixer of anything. Honestly, the holy magic felt a little more realistic, so Cass hesitated to take it. He’d...be fine, wouldn’t he? If things got worse, then he would take it.
