Chapter 9 No Pain No Gain

Pain.

Mind-boggling pain assaulted me.

It was like every bone of my body was crushed before it grew again.

I screamed in agony.

The few crows scaving around flew away terrified by my inhuman scream.

The pain was driving me insane.

I lost consciousness several times and have already lost count of time.

Only my cries of pain echoed in the cursed temple. It really deserved that name.

I could hear Jarvis speaking but my mind couldn't register his words.

It hurts.

It freaking hurts!

I coughed blood again and again.

I rolled on the mud and my own blood.

Bloody tears fell from my eyes.

Why?

Why?!

WHY?!

I was asking myself, like a broken record, why the hell I came here? Yeah, I wanted to become strong, but what was that?!

If I had known it would hurt like that, I would have managed with my weak body for the entire game.

I saw in the game, Edward suffering during his death pact, but what Edward endured was fluffy compared to me.

Yeah! I'm currently angry at a freaking game character for my suffering!

"ARGHHHHHH!"

N-No-

I can't-

Someone…

Please…

Help me…

….

How many hours had gone?

I don't know, but I stopped asking for help since no one would come anyway.

Maybe Edward's aunt, but she didn't know I was here.

Only Jarvis was there but he could just speak.

My body convulsed again.

With the amount of blood I lost, it was just a matter of time before I died anyway.

A little smile appeared on my pained face.

Am I really going to die pathetically on the first day of my reincarnation?

If I was the protagonist, I'd have the famous plot armor, but now I could really feel that I was dying.

[Edward!]

Ah.

Jarvis.

Still shouting at me to get a grip.

At least I wasn't alone in my death.

…and she flashed in my mind.

Ephera.

Her long black hair was tied in princess style. I was the one who would tie her hair like that every day.

Yeah I was a simp!

But she was really gorgeous like that!

"AAAAAAAAAHHHH!"

Looks like I will join you soon, Ephera.

[Edward! The screen!]

"Sh-Shu-AHHHHHHH!"

[SCREEENNN!]

The screen?

I looked at the screen before with my teary vision.

[Congratulations! New Title obtained!]

[Lucky Fatty!]

The fucker who did that I wil-

"AHHHHHHHHHH!"

-Bam!

I banged my head on the ground as a means to get myself together and looked again at the screen.

[Do you want to get the rewards?]

I opened my eyes wide and raised my weak finger. It took all my remaining energy to click on YES.

Now give me a healing potion.

I beg you.

[You can choose a weapon!]

Go to hell.

[What weapon do you want?]

Go to hell b*tch!

[Since you are not answering, we will choose a random weapon for you!]

As if I'm in condition to speak!

I wanted to kill the bastard behind the messages but I couldn't.

My consciousness started to slip away again, but this time I really felt that I wouldn't open my eyes anymore.

Whatever. Two shitty lives.

…

...

...

"AH!"

I woke up with a jump.

What happened?!

I looked around me. It was dark.

"!"

Water.

WATER!

I was starving and thirsty.

I stood up but I fell on the ground as soon as I tried to walk.

I looked at my legs, they were shivering.

Without choice, I started to crawl my way out of the temple.

There was a small pond near the temple, the water was probably good.

No, I didn't care about that anymore.

I crawled like that for twenty minutes and reached the pond.

The water was blue and seemed proper.

Yes!

I crawled and let myself drown.

I drank, drank and drank.

I was living again.

Amazing.

Never had I felt like that when drinking water.

I also washed my body, which was dirty and bloodied.

It seems that I lost around ten kilograms. I was still really fat but less than before.

After swimming for around an hour in the pond, I sighed.

"Why aren't you speaking?"

I asked my first companion since I landed in this world.

[You needed some time alone]

Jarvis answered.

Well, he was right.

I felt so much pain in my whole body for several hours that my sense of pain numbed.

"How long was I in that state?"

[Two weeks.]

"..."

So, for two weeks, I was crying like that while suffering hell?

As to how I was still alive after two weeks of hell without eating and drinking, I knew the probable answer.

"Why aren't you speaking?"

[I am her-]

"Not you, Jarvis."

I cut off Jarvis and closed my eyes.

Yeah, that new presence in me.

[<Oh, you noticed me?>]

A new voice, a woman's voice rang in my mind.

[<Since when?>]

"Now."

I smiled. It was hard to not feel such an aura, at least for me.

[<You have sharp senses>]

She said in an amused tone.

I smiled confidently at her words but it didn't last long.

[<Why are you fat though?>]

"Got something against me being fat?! If I wasn't fat I'd have died and you wouldn't have found a receptacle!"

I growled angrily.

First Jarvis and now her.

Fuck!

"Oh, my apologies, I didn't know you were so sensitive."

She giggled like those arrogant women laughing behind folding fans.

"..."

Seeing that I wasn't laughing, she coughed.

[<Let me introduce myself, I'm Cleenah.>]

"You are a Goddess?"

[<Indeed.>]

She said in a proud tone.

"But you were stuck in that temple though."

I asked 'innocently'.

[<You are rude to a God, apologize.>]

"Like hell I will apologize to a b*tch, insulting my physics!"

[<B-B*tch?! You misunderstood my words! I just thought you'd athletic->]

"I see, then you are a clumsy b*tch."

[<Enough! I will kill y->]

"Jarvis mute her."

[I can't mute a Goddess.]

"Then what can you mute?"

I asked.

[<H-He-!>]

[Nothing.]

Figures. My Jarvis has nothing to do with the famous Jarvis accompanying my favorite Superhero.

I sighed and cupped water in my hands before splashing my anemic face.

[<Listen m->]

"Cleenah."

[<Yes?! Finally!>]

She said and probably sulked.

A faint smile appeared on my face as I pictured a sulking Goddess.

"You are the one who kept me alive for two weeks, right?"

[<Of course! Ungrateful man! You should th->]

"Thanks."

I thanked her wholeheartedly.

I really thought I was going to die and for the first time, I was scared to die.

I didn't want to die.

[<...>]

Cleenah seemed suprised.

[<Hmpf. I didn't do it for you. I needed a good receptacle to get out of this place.>]

"Even so. Thanks."

There was a moment of silence before she replied.

[<You're welcome Amael.>]
