Chapter 60: Revealed 2

60- Revealed 2

What are you dazing off for? Quickly use the Purple dome Mushroom.

Armelias shout woke me from my thinking. I took out the Purple dome Mushroom from the inventory and asked Armelia

Why are you giving me the Purple dome Mushroom? You have helped in taking away half of the snakes and without your help it would have impossible for me to get the Purple dome Mushroom, so half it should belong to you.

To this Armelia simply replied with a flat tone

I dont need the Purple dome Mushroom, I decided to steal it as I felt that it might be useful in suppressing the poison in your body. Plus, I...I wanted to thank you for saving me yesterday and as a token of apology for hurting you yesterday, so I felt that taking little risk and helping you get this Purple dome Mushroom was the correct thing.

When I heard this, a trace of warmth filled my heart.

.

A 15-16 year old boy who has hardly seen any cruelty of the world in his life and, was living a happy and content life. But suddenly he realized that all of this was nothing but a false dream and this dream was shattered when he got ill treatment from his family members whom he loved and got betrayed by his fiance & best friends. He was poisoned, crippled and left in some dangerous forest for slow death or to let him become a meal course for some monster.

With all this experience, that boys heart gradually became cold and hard, so when he killed a human for the first time, he did not feel much remorse and as he killed more humans, he still did not feel anything wrong with that. Because for him the so-called being kind and good hearted has become thing of the past and he decided to become cold and ruthless.

But now this girls action touched his heart and his cold heart had received some warmth.

.

I was momentarily lost in thoughts due to Armelias words but woke up from it, as I remembered all the things done by my bastard friends, fiance and family. Then my heart calmed down and once again it reverted back to the stone cold state. But I felt that my heart was still not strong.

looks like some measures have to be taken.

I thought inwardly.

After calming down my emotions, I said to Armelia

Then I will not be polite and accept this Purple Dome mushroom. And thank you for this gift.

After that I decided to consume the Purple Dome mushroom, but suddenly I remembered that Armelia was wet and she might get cold, so I took out one of the pair of clothes that I bought on shop and threw them towards Armelia and said,

Wear these clothes or else you might get cold.

And immediately I started cutting the Purple Dome mushroom into smaller pieces with the knife. The Purple Dome mushroom was as big as my palm, hence I cut them into pieces.

After cutting them into 3-4 pieces, I swallowed them and drank some water, so that those pieces of mushroom could travel smoothly and do not get stuck in my wind/food pipe.

But as soon as I felt that the mushroom pieces had reached my stomach, I felt burning sensation in my mouth and then the burning sensation started spreading towards my throat, then chest and finally my stomach.

Gradually the burning sensation started increasing and after few seconds I felt like my internal organs are on fire. Gritting my teeth, I tried enduring the pain and asked the system what is happening.

ding

Although the (Purple Dome mushroom) will help in suppressing the poison in the hosts body to a certain extent, but it will take time for the poison to take effect. System can only advise the host to bear with the pain.

Damn!!! Gritting my teeth, I endured this burning sensation, gradually the burning sensation was still increasing and it felt like that my organs will soon melt. As the pain was increasing, I could not bear it anymore and I started screaming.

AHHHHHHHH......

Hearing my screams, Armelia who was changing her clothes behind the rock was startled, came running towards me in half naked state but I was in no position to look at her body and have some sneak peeks.

Hey are you alright?

Armelia asked with concerned voice but I was in no situation to answer her.

Please bear with this pain, I know you can do it.

The burning sensation was still increasing and I continued screaming,

AHHH......

Then the system notification rang

ding

-30 HP

-1 Resistance

-33 HP

-2 Resistance

-41 HP

-2 Resistance

.

.

.

With some remaining consciousness, I saw that the system notifications were continuously ringing, and when I read the notifications, I seriously wanted to curse the system and asked it what was going on?

ding

As poison of the Purple dome mushroom is spreading throughout the hosts body, it is damaging the host internally. Hence, host is losing HP and (Resistance) stat, but dont worry. Gradually the poison of the Purple dome mushroom and the previous poison present within hosts body will start suppressing each other and host can recover his HP and the (Resistance) stats limit might also increase.

When I read this, I understood all this but the burning sensation was increasing and the I felt so much pain that for a moment I was having suicidal thoughts. And the thoughts like...

Death is better than constant torment or pain.

Death is the best medicine, as it can cure us of our problems and sufferings.

.

...were flashing within my mind.

Shaking my head, I removed these thoughts because I have lot of things that needs to be done and achieved. There is no reason for me to commit suicide and I am not a weakling who will quit just because of few hardships.

But as the pain was still increasing and, my HP and Resistance were still decreasing, I took out a HP potion and drank it.

But suddenly, I could no longer hold it and my consciousness was becoming blurry and everything went blank.
