Chapter 120

[Ding]
[Notice: You have been idle for 2 hours and 32 minutes]
A faint ding entered my ears while a screen appeared before my eyes.
I immediately close my eyes, yet even after doing so it seemed like the screen would not go away.
I had been sitting in the same spot for several hours now, and it had gotten to a point where my rocking had seemed to immaculately blend in with the rest of nature as if it was just something meant to be.
Not for a single second did I forget the pain of death, the cold sensation that slowly seeps into your mind as you lie there defenseless.
I could vividly remember every moment of that nightmare and could identify it like the back of my hand.
My entire body had not stopped shaking ever since I had been given this new body to inhabit...
The worst thing about it was that the body didn't even feel like it was mine.
Every physical movement and sensation felt oddly alien to me, as if I was a newborn trying to learn how to move for the first time, yet at the same time vividly remembering how to do so without the need for any help.
I could move fine, yet my movements were almost... rusty?
The moment I heard the sound of the system notification, I felt a strange jolt travel through my very bones.
I had once again remembered the moments before my death, the scenes playing out in my mind at a pace slower than the original.
It was as if my mind was trying to constantly sabotage me, making me suffer more and more every single time I watched it by slowing it down. maybe it was a way for my mind to force me into getting used to the scene, but even then it would not have been the best way to go about things.
The tears had not halted and instead, he only increased in volume in the last few hours.
*Rustle* *Rustle*
Yet, with a single sound, the tears that had been flooding out of my eyes stopped in their tracks. My high heart rate which had become erratic in the previous minutes had slowed down to about 40 beats per minute.
