Chapter 19: SysDi 19: Creeping Dread
After dinner, Evan went straight for his room. He still felt exhausted, so he decided to meditate. He wanted to be rested, even for just a little bit, before he tries to call for Iva again.
It was strange, not having Iva around to talk to in the past week. Usually, he would have Samuel around to talk to before Iva. They played games together, usually with the other kids in Samuel’s area. But after he got the result for his mana reserves, he haven’t gotten a chance to talk to him yet. So Iva’s presence, even as a talking counterpart in his brain is still a welcomed companion.
He’s not going to admit that he kind of missed the voice.
He has some suspicions on what Iva really is, but he had promised not to think too much about that. He didn’t know what Iva meant about not trying to guess what it is because of how close to the truth he was. But at the moment, he feels that his status numbers were way too low that he couldn’t afford to attract trouble, if he can help it.
So, those thoughts are thrown to the side in the meantime.
He’s starting to believe that it would take ages before he can probably find out what Iva really is.
Evan rolled out a mat, the same one that his dad lend him after asking about the meditation. Erwin never asked for it back, at least, not yet. Evan didn’t know if his dad had a second one or he is just lending Evan the mat for a while. Either way, he is thankful that he didn’t have to try his luck on his uneven, wooden bed.
He had tried it before. He remembered how his legs felt like there’s way too much pressure on it crashing all of his weight towards the ground. He’s well aware when it is lesson learned.
Cross-legged on the floor, he shifted a little so that he is facing away from his bed before he begins his meditation with both eyes falling close.
Breathing in...
And out...
