Cheat Awakening

Chapter 256: Chapter 256. Realization

Bang!

"Damn it! Why did I hit her so hard?"

Upon witnessing Velvet's dire situation, Myne hurriedly ran towards the nearest house. He kicked the door hard, surprised to find it wasn't even locked, and entered swiftly.

The house was small, a single-floor wooden structure with minimal furniture or decoration. The owner's financial condition seemed far from prosperous, but Myne couldn't afford to dwell on that. The small size of the house, with only two separate rooms apart from the kitchen, led him quickly to the main bedroom, where he gently laid Velvet on the medium-sized bed.

His first action after that was to exit the bedroom and secure the main door with a couch and wardrobe since there was no lock. Just as the Mayor had mentioned, it seemed there hadn't been any criminal activities for years, leading people to neglect the idea of adding locks to their doors. Myne then peered out through the window, finding nothing out of the ordinary.

Nevertheless, he sealed all the windows as well, leaving no room for anyone to enter or exit silently.

"Hoo, now it's time to heal my sweetheart. I hope she doesn't start beating me after waking up," Myne thought, trying to lighten his mood and ease the inner tension. He quickly pasted the Ultra Regeneration skill to Velvet.

As he did that, smoke started coming from her entire body, and her giant burn wound on her stomach began healing at an extremely slow speed.

Just when Myne wondered if the Ultra Regeneration skill was working slowly because Velvet's injuries were more serious inside her body than outside, which was taking more time to heal, suddenly Velvet coughed up a mouthful of blood before collapsing on the bed like a dead dog. Even her already weak breathing now resembled a candle in a storm, ready to say goodbye to this world at any moment.

"F*CK! Myne hastily grabbed Velvet's hand, staring at her pained expression, not knowing what to do. While thinking why, after using the Ultra Regeneration skill, did her condition, which was supposed to improve, become more severe?"

"Hey, Velvet, can you hear me? Tell me what's going on with you. Why isn't my healing skill working on you?" Myne asked an unconscious Velvet fearfully, his heart beating like drums, and his breathing becoming very fast. Myne was on the verge of passing out from tension.

But, of course, as anyone with a clear mind could see, Velvet didn't react at all. Only the bedsheet under her was now dried red from her blood.

"Blood? Blood is starting to gush out again. It means her injuries healed a bit indeed, but then the Ultra Regeneration skill stopped working for some reason, and the old wound became active again, leading her to bleed. But why did the Ultra Regeneration skill suddenly..."

"F*ck, Myne, how can you be so f*cking stupid? How can you forget such a simple thing that not everyone has nearly unlimited magic energy storage like you? Ultra Regeneration skill definitely used up all her magic energy in her body to heal her most serious wounds, giving her a more serious problem of exhaustion of magic energy which was holding her second last straw of life.

F*ck, I have to provide her with magic energy as soon as possible. But how the hell do I do it?"

Myne cursed himself for being such an idiot as he forgot such a simple thing. He quickly checked his skill log but sadly found no skill that could help him in this situation.

Seeing that time was running out and his mind on the verge of giving up, he opened the Inventory and decided to go inside it since time didn't work there, and he could spend as much time as he wanted, with not even a single second passing outside.

"Sigh, finally some peace, but I can't stay here forever. Outside, Velvet is waiting for me. God, what should I do? How the hell do I provide her with magic energy? If only it were as easy as it shows in novels, just put your hand on someone's body, and your energy would rush into the other party without doing anything. Sadly, this kind of illogical nonsense doesn't work in the real world.

I should check the entire Inventory; maybe I have some kind of magic energy recovery potion or something."

Thinking such, Myne sat down in mid-air with crossed legs and started levitating every object inside his Inventory towards him.

"This is going to take a lot of time. Thankfully, I have plenty of time here," Myne thought with a bitter smile while looking around at the thousands of useless things flying toward him.

...

Ten hours later, inside Myne's Inventory.

"Finally, after such a long struggle and sacrificing hundreds of hairs, I found something that can provide magic energy to its drinker," Myne thought with bloodshot eyes, staring at the small pond made of dense magic energy that he took from Fenrir's house.

"But after getting out of this damn place, the first thing I will do is empty out all the potion shops in the kingdom. How can I not have such a basic necessary thing like a magic energy recovery potion? Even a child knows that before going on any adventure or journey, it is important to take healing and magic energy potions, which can save your or your friends' lives in critical moments.

Now, thinking about it, it seems like Aisha didn't call me an idiot once in a while for nothing. Sigh, I am already starting to miss her now."

Better urgently sought a way to escape this wretched place; at home, everyone might be worrying about me. I had told them to expect my return before night, but now I find myself trapped here. Lost in such thoughts, Myne picked up a glass from nearby. After filling it with magical water, he instantly exited the inventory.

Time didn't have much effect in the inventory. When Myne emerged after spending nearly 10 hours inside, only one second had passed outside.

Myne didn't waste any more time. He quickly sat beside Velvet, forcefully opened her bloody mouth, and began pouring magic water inside like an idiot. Soon, he realized that the hume body is not an empty pot where water can directly enter the stomach.

"Why isn't the water going into her stomach? Instead, it's overflowing and coming out. If this doesn't work, how am I going to save her?" Myne muttered anxiously. Suddenly remembering something, he poured a mouthful of magic water into his own mouth and sealed his lips with Velvet's.

After kissing Velvet, Myne moved his tongue inside her, hoping the water could travel to her stomach and gently massaged her neck as well, which seemed to have some effect, although the progress was painfully slow.

"Now I regret more not bringing a magic energy potion with me. At least Velvet is my own woman, and kissing her doesn't burden me psychologically. If it were Grandpa Kane or Tailar in her place, I could only find a good burial place for them. Just thinking about kissing an old man sends chills down my entire body," Myne mutters, trembling.

He quickly shook his head to rid himself of such dangerous thoughts and continued supplying magical energy to Velvet through his mouth.

...

Two days later.

"Ahmmm? Where am I? Ahhh, my lips—why are they so swollen? And there are so many cuts on them?"

Velvet slowly opened her eyes. The first thing she did after waking up was to observe her surroundings, which was interrupted by the pain emanating from her lips, which, unbeknownst to her, had endured a lot of hardship in the past two days.

"Huh? Whose house is this? I remember I barged into the mayor's house to look for Myne, whom I found with a b*tch having fun, and then... F*ck, that bastard fired a fireball at me!"

As memories before her passing out resurfaced in her confused brain, Velvet became more and more angry. She recalled how, after so much struggle and pain, she reached Myne. When she attempted to move him away from that damn b*tch, that bastard shot at her injured stomach without any hesitation.

"If he didn't give me a proper explanation, then I will eat him alive. But first, where the hell am I? Have I been caught by those weird soldiers? But this room doesn't seem like a prison cell, and my injuries are also completely recovered? F*ck, why the hell am I naked? Don't tell me while I was unconscious, someone took advantage of the opportunity and..."

*Crack~*

"Hello, beautiful. So, you finally wake up, huh? I thought it would take some time for you to wake up, but alas, it is better that you wake up. Now I can finally rest assured."

While Velvet contemplated various negative possibilities of what had happened to her while she was unconscious, suddenly the bedroom door opened, and Myne, wearing a white bathroom robe, entered the bedroom with a bowl of hot soup in his hand. He greeted Velvet with a smile.
