[ William's POV ]
{ A Few Hours Later }
Inside the expansive and luxurious villa nestled within the Golden Arey Society, I was sleeping quite peacefully on the floor of the room where I had leveled up and went unconscious. At that moment, I was enjoying a particularly pleasant and vivid dream where the contents of it remained for r18+ readers to read.
However, something was irritating me. A sticky and gooey substance seemed to be adhering to my face, and I tried to brush it away and angrily said to it.
"Go away, don't annoy me... I just want to sleep for a few more minutes." I said and pushed it away again.
But that didn't work. The thing persisted in using its sticky appendage on me until I became frustrated and sat up to yell at whatever it was.
"Come on, let me sleep a little longer. I was just getting to the good part with the voluptuous lady." After I finished shouting, I rubbed my eyes to clear them of the sand and see who was disturbing me.
Opening my eyes, I saw Clawdia looking at me with a worried expression. When she saw my eyes open, she became overjoyed, thinking her method had worked. She joyfully licked me again, this time even more fervently.
"Al-Alright, stop-Stop it, Clawdia. I'm awake now. You don't need to do this anymore. P-Please stop it." After countless pleas, the beast finally ceased her actions. She looked at me happily and said,
'Finally, Master, you're awake. I thought you would never wake up.'
"Was something wrong while I was sleeping?" I asked, unaware if there were any side effects left from the advancement.
'You were sleeping deeply, Master, very deeply. Like those beasts back where I lived who slept for months and months.'
I understood what she was implying. It seemed I was sleeping so deeply that it might have appeared I was in a hibernation state. I surmised that the reason for my deep slumber might be my complete exhaustion after the harrowing experience I had endured.
But I was puzzled as to why it seemed that way and how long I had been out, which had worried Clawdia so much. So I asked her,
"Clawdia, first of all, thank you for waking me up. It was just that your master was exhausted from all the training I went through."
'It's alright, Master. It's my duty as your sole guardian to protect you by any means necessary.' Clawdia replied with a radiant smile on her face.
I smiled at her and nodded.
"Yes, you're right about that. But how did you know I was like this? Didn't I tell you not to come into this room no matter what happens?"
'I know you did, Master. But it was getting late, and you were not responding to any of my calls.' Clawdia said in a concerned tone.
I was nodding at her words until I heard her next sentence.
'So when the ghost told me to 'go and see you,' I went towards you as immediately as possible.'
I was bewildered about who this "ghost" was.
"Clawdia... Who's the 'ghost' you're talking about?"
Clawdia pointed upwards towards the ceiling and told me, 'Master, it's that thing. That ghost who suddenly started talking to me out of nowhere.'
'It seems to not be dangerous, so I didn't do anything about it.'
I looked up to where she pointed but didn't see anything. After pondering for a while, I understood what she meant then I said loudly,
"Arthur, is she talking about you?"
[ Yes, Sir. It was I who notified your beast soul about your predicament. ]
"Hmm... How long have I been asleep?"
[ For approximately six hours and thirty-nine minutes, sir. ]
