Chapter 12: Sensory Bond
"Hmm..."
Sollivan’s eyelids trembled slowly, then he opened his black eyes. But all he saw was complete darkness. He didn’t move, remaining stretched out in place, turning his head slowly to look around. After a short while, his eyes began to adjust to the darkness, allowing him to vaguely make out the outlines of the room, thanks to a faint light seeping in from under the door and through the keyhole. He stretched his arms and body, then let out a long, relaxed yawn.
Unlike someone who had endured dozens of problems, his face looked calm and lazy, as if he didn’t care about everything that had happened. After licking his dry mouth with his tongue, he muttered in a sleepy tone.
"Finally, some peace and quiet. These savages made me suffer for the past two days without any rest or food. Damn it, they’re monsters in human form. I envy their strength." After expressing his frustration, he stretched out again and relaxed his stiff body due to the uncomfortable bed. Then he removed the rough blanket that was irritating his skin.
After sitting up, he slowly felt his bedding and realized he was sleeping on a straw mattress. He furrowed his brows and felt some resentment.
’I’m being treated like a slave.’
He wanted to curse out loud, but he stopped, and a complex look appeared in his eyes.
’But things have taken a really strange turn.’
Even though he had just woken up, he felt something vague around him. He had a faint idea about his strange feelings, so he decided not to think too much about it.
He looked at a cold spot on the floor for a moment, then sighed.
"No need to bother myself now. I’ve finally gotten some peace, and I should make the best use of it." He fell silent and raised his head to look at the light seeping through the keyhole. "I should organize the information I’ve gathered first."
His thoughts wandered for a moment, then his gaze changed. After a short while. ’This is a different world ruled by the kornavar race, and humans here are considered vile and outcast. There must be a reason for that, but it’s not important now. If my mind is working correctly, I’m currently in a tribe living in these plains.
