21 What The Hell Is This?!

Saksham was confused as to what happened after he fell unconscious. He closed his eyes and slowly tried to feel any changes in his body and soul. Surprisingly, he found that there was heaviness on his chest or you can say that there was no strain on his soul after that big of usage of his powers. But for some reason, Saksham felt that his body was hollowed out. His whole body was aching a lot.

As he was not able to figure out that why instead of the soul, his whole body was aching as if it was going to break, Saksham thought of another solution, \"What happened to me? I need a full analysis.\"

As soon as Saksham said this, a virtual screen suddenly popped out-of-nowhere like some scene of science fiction movie.

Name: Saksham Nayak

Sex: Male

Age:18 years

Body conditions: Due to the sudden surge of some kind of mysterious power, the vessel containing it was under great strain. After the use of Exousia, the power disappeared but the impact it had on the body was too big, resulting in serious weakening of the body as well as life-span has been shortened by 5 years.

You might be wondering what this Exousia is. A few days ago, while pondering about his powers, he suddenly thought of the word \"Exousia\". It has many meanings such as [Authority over mankind] or [Power to Choose] and it even means [A ruler]. Considering his powers, Saksham thought this title was perfect for it. So, since then he has kept the name of his powers as [Exousia].

\"Hmmm. So, it is due to the sudden surge of power causing me to be what I am right now and 5 years of my life-span has been reduced? Although I don't really feel much, it really doesn't feel good, knowing I have 5 years less to live. I guess this is the consequence of using something I cannot control. Now, the question remains that where the hell did that power come from? I am 110% sure that I shouldn't have been able to stop that, but I somehow did. Argh! This pain!\"

But at this time, the door of the ward opened and Saksham's mother, Savitri, entered. As soon as she saw Saksham sitting on the bed, she stopped for a moment in shock before she suddenly rushed out and her crazed shouts could be heard everywhere.

\"Doctor!! Nurse Sister!! My son has woken up! My son has woken up!!\"

Not long after, 3 doctors and nurses rushed in the ward to check Saksham. Savitri also rushed in after calling Arjun and telling him that Saksham had woken up.

Just as the doctors went out, a woman ran inside hastily. It was Savitri. She sat beside Saksham and caressed his cheeks. She asked lovingly, \"Son, how are you feeling now? Do u have any discomfort? Tell your mom.\"

Saksham just shook his head slowly. He looked at his mother's tired face. He could see some white hair on her head which didn't exist earlier. There were more wrinkles on her face than he remembered. And her eyes were very red. He didn't know if it was because of tiredness or crying for a long time.

He hoarsely spoke, \"Mom, I am fine. There is no discomfort anywhere. I am feeling tired a little. I will be sleeping now.\"

He said this and slowly laid down on the bed. Savitri heard this and she nodded and went out. She wanted to ask doctors about Saksham's conditions.

As soon as Savitri closed the door, Saksham's eyes opened up suddenly. He blankly looked at the ceiling for a moment. After who knows how long, he spoke again, \"I think I have to stay at this hospital for some time. Although I can use my powers to immediately get my body back to the best condition, I don't want to use my powers for something unnecessary. And if I did use my powers then it is definitely going to raise suspicions. These doctors are not fools. They will definitely know that there is something wrong with me. I don't want to become a lab rat. So, it is better that I just rest here until I get discharged. \"

Looking at the virtual screen that was still open in the corner of his eyes, Saksham felt that this was a pretty convenient thing. Maybe if he asks something else, his powers can answer it too. Saksham thought of trying it once, \"What is the limit of Exousia?\"

Suddenly, the things on the virtual screen changed. When he saw what was written on the screen, Saksham scratched his head in confusion as he said, \"What the hell is this?\"
