Chapter 77: Learning from the pain
He could only moan from the pain, his mouth wide open, his face turning red as every vein in his face bulged and trembled.
His mind couldn’t process everything as Jakol stood above him, unmoving. After enduring the pain for ten agonizing seconds, Jeff felt like he was on the brink of losing consciousness.
The system then appeared, and Jeff felt his body clearing. Jakol was back in his original position, and this time, his heavy aura had disappeared.
Finally freed from the endless torture, Jeff gasped for air as he collapsed to the ground, kneeling with his forearms resting on the floor.
His face was drenched in sweat, as if he had just taken a cold shower. His mind felt traumatized, and for a brief moment, he felt blank, struggling to comprehend the intensity of what had just happened.
Seeing this the system tilted its panel with a look. [-_-]
[Maybe I went a bit too far] - the system uttered.
Jeff remained there, his heartbeat racing and pumping blood furiously. His breathing was still heavy as he used his right hand to clutch his chest, where his heart was thundering wildly.
Feeling the rapid beat, he gripped his shirt tightly, trying to calm it down. After a minute, his heart finally slowed, and his mind began to return to normal.
He stood up straight, then looked at the system. His face no longer held any anger, as he realized just how weak he actually was. Not only in strength but in will as well.
This realization made him feel disgusted with himself. He had been complaining and complaining, but never putting in the effort to improve or push himself.
