883 Waking up

The next time Lex woke up, he was feeling much better, and much worse at the same time. The entire time he was in the Void, he was more or less unconscious, so he did not know what state his body had reached in its final moments.

When he first gained consciousness, Lex actually felt nothing. He felt no pain, but he also could not sense his body. He could not open his eyes, breathe, or do anything else. He would have panicked if his mind hadn't been incredibly groggy.L1tLagoon witnessed the first publication of this chapter on Ñøv€l--B1n.

He vaguely recalled Mary's voice, but he could not recall what she said. His consciousness faded soon. The next time he woke up, although the situation was not much better, he was lucid at least.

He could not feel any spirit energy in his body, or any of his other senses, so he used his spirit sense to explore the situation. That's when he discovered that he... had turned into a pile of goop!

He had turned into a vaguely spherical mush of shredded muscle, skin, fat, crushed bones and everything else that constituted his body! There was nothing about him that resembled a human!

The most alarming thing for him was when he used his spirit sense to investigate his 'body' he found that he did not even have a brain! For a moment, Lex thought he was dead, and had come back as a ghost!

But eventually he realized that his consciousness was still linked to the deformed meat ball he had turned into, and investigated further. While the rest of his body had been thoroughly pulverized, he discovered that at the very center of his being, his Golden core remained intact!

It looked dull, and as if it had suffered some wear, but otherwise was fine! There wasn't even a crack on it! But, beside his core, there were also a few items, and they had not survived unharmed the way his core had.

Pelvailins ring was covered in cracks, and seemed on the verge of breaking. So too was the case with his spatial bangle, though his necklace which carried the Silent Wanderer had fared better.

His body once again looked somewhat human, and he had reformed much of his muscles and inner organs. His bones were also reforming once again. His meridian network was by far the most recovered, and it even contained slight traces of spirit energy within!

If there was one thing that left Lex feeling a little remorseful... it was that his new body had a total height of 1 foot (30 cm)!

"Mary, how long has it been?" Lex asked, feeling tired even though he had just woken up.

"It's been an entire month since we last talked," said Mary, a hesitation in her voice.

"Lex, before you fall asleep again, there's something really important we need to discuss. It's about Velma and some devils..."

"What is it?" Lex asked, suddenly feeling alarmed. The Midnight Inn and the battalion had been targeted by devils, so he was especially sensitive to matters relating to them at the moment.

"Well... there's a group of devils who... who follow a comic series she writes, apparently. Even though she uses a pseudonym, they discovered her identity. Now, all of them, a total of 33, have come to the Inn and are constantly proposing to her!

"What's worse, she apparently had many hidden admirers. Once they discovered that the devils were trying to marry her, they all began proposing as well. Now, there's about a thousand guests following her around wherever she goes and proposing to marry her! It's.. causing certain problems.

"Velma was considering starting a harem, but fortunately Gerard returned and talked some sense into her, so she is holding off. But her suitors want to start a tournament, and claim that only the winner has the right to court her. But since you have been asleep, they can't officially start an event..."

Lex lost consciousness again.
