Chapter 26: Evelyn Walker
06 January, Year 203 of Awakening Calendar.
The morning was much calmer than the night for Leon. He had to take extra sleep to give rest to his mind after that terrible pain.
Fortunately, sleep helped him cope with the pain.
But he still needed to wake up for the classes, so after getting refreshed, the first thing he did was to absorb the Energy Orb. Since it was from the Level 09 Monster, he got quite a lot of Essence and reached Level 08.
He exhaled the foul air built up inside him and thought, ’I feel stronger, but it’s not enough. Not enough at all.’
Still, Leon was quite happy with his progress because he knew he was leveling up very fast. Even if it came at the cost of terrible pain, he still considered it worth it.
He smiled looking at the number displaying his Level. The feeling of being stronger was definitely addicting, but nothing new. After all, even in his past life he had always kept his physical health good and visited the gym every day despite his hectic schedule.
He dressed up in his uniform since he had decided to visit the cafeteria for breakfast before going to the classes.
As he opened the door, he got a call from his mother and closed it again. Mom was more important than anything for him.
He sat on the bed and accepted the video call. A hologram appeared before him featuring a middle-aged woman with delicate features and a worried look on her pretty face.
Her ash-brown hair cascading down her shoulders contrasting with his jet-black hair. But he had inherited his emerald green eyes from her.
Currently, those mesmerizing emerald eyes were filled with worry, and one could even see dark circles under her eyes, which made Leon sigh in defeat.
