Chapter 230 A bad dream?

The figure in the glass window did nothing but give him pitiful gazes for some moment. Neither did it speak nor did it change it's facial expression.

The already silent room started getting even more silent. As if he was losing his sense of hearing, he couldn't even hear his own voice at this moment.

An eerie silence engulfed the entire room as his eyes became glued at the reflection on the glass window. And the more he stared at the reflection, the more he felt like he was getting sucked inside the brown pupils of the figure in the window.

It wasn't because he wanted to stare at the reflection. Infact he desperately wanted to look elsewhere, however as if he was hypnotised, he couldn't take his eyes off the reflection in the glass window. n0velb1n

His heart started pounding faster and faster, to the point it felt like it could jump out of his throat at any moment.

He was on the verge of collapsing.

But just as he was about to lose his consciousness, he noticed some changes in the reflection; the reflection in the glass window started moving it's lips.

As if the figure was trying to speak something, it moved it's lips. However he couldn't hear anything.

Setting aside his fear, he tried his best to concentrate on the lips of the figure to hear what the figure was speaking.

Instinctively he felt like it was his only chance to get out of this predicament. If only he could decipher what that figure was speaking.

Thus, since he couldn't hear anything, he tried lip-reading.

'You.... Have.... Failed.... The.... Quest!'

Although slow but just as he comprehended the words which the figure in the glass window was trying to speak, his sense of hearing returned.

But at this moment, cacophony of noises which repeated the same thing at the same time in a robotic manner filled his ears.

"You have failed the quest"

"You jave failed the quest"

Hiro then let out a deep sigh as he tried recalling the moment when he lost his consciousness.

Although somewhat hazy, he still remembered fragments of the memories right before he lost his consciousness.

'I never imagined that the consequences of exploiting the system would be this severe.' thinking about the consequences, he abruptly lifted his blankets as he turned his attention towards his legs.

His heart started to race as he started to panic all of a sudden. Fear was evident on his face, right now.

He was extremely worried about his legs.

Fortunately his legs looked fine, since he didn't have any cast. However his legs were still covered in bandages.

Although he was relieved to some extent after seeing his legs not covered in casts, he was still worried.

Thus, out of worry, he tried to wiggle his toes. It wiggled as per his wishes. Although a little hard, he felt a little more assured after seeing his toes wiggling completely fine.

Hiro then tried to lift his legs.

And as he willed to raise his legs, he felt a stinging sensation of pain in his legs.

However he could still lift his legs, which calmed his heart completely.

Right at this moment, his mother woke up only to find her son acting weird, once again.

However since Hiro was so engrossed in testing his legs, he didn't notice his mother's awakening. He kept on trying different things like rotating his ankles, wiggling his toes, bending his legs and many more leg movements.

And the more he tested, the more his smile widened and the more his face brightened. His heart was already calm, right now. Infact he was even feeling quite ecstatic at the moment.

Only when he dropped his blankets did he notice his mother's gazes.

She was staring at him with eyes full of worry. Her brows tightly knitted and her eyes moist, she was concernedly looking at him right now.

Seeing her face filled with worries, his mouth turned dry as he spoke, "You're awake mom?"
