Chapter 33: First Crisis (5)

“Uuugh... I’m so tired...”
Noah yawned as she rolled her shoulders.
She hadn’t had a proper night’s sleep in weeks.
Every waking hour was spent sorting through data and reports. In the rare moments of rest, she sustained herself with cheap food from the convenience store, dragging herself through hellish days one after another.
In the corner of her room, stacks of coffee and energy drink cans had piled up neatly.
Sometimes she used vitality or healing magic just to keep going, but even that wasn’t enough. She’d been pushing herself far beyond her limits for a long time now.
“Huu...”
She exhaled as she tossed another empty coffee can into the trash bin.
It was kind of funny how, in a world full of magic and technology, there was still nothing better than caffeine when it came to cheap and effective ways to stay awake.
Sure, you couldn’t revive the dead, but you could instantly save someone with a critical wound—yet there still wasn’t a stimulant that beat coffee.
Well, maybe there were better ones out there... but those were probably illegal.
