Chapter 57

Valen got on the bed and pulled a blanket to cover himself, ready for the agonizing pain that follows after he takes the pill. (

In a short while, the child started to stretch as beads of sweat slowly gathered on his forehead. The pain he was expecting finally hit him in full force. It was so unbearable that he let out an ear-piercing
