Novel & Cerita Path Of Pain

A bone-deep pain instantly tore through my body. I let out a muffled gasp and collapsed onto the cold floor. Cold sweat drenched my back in seconds. I felt as though my soul was being torn apart. Yet, compared to the heartbreak from just moments ago, this pain felt much milder. With my gaze locked on the bone ring, I whispered to myself, "Just five more days, Tori Dawson. Five more days, and you'll be free from this ridiculous farce."

Instead, the discomfort spreading through her body intensified, creeping from her chest to every limb. Her hands clutched the pillow tightly as she tried to keep herself from collapsing onto the floor. Moments later, there was a knock on the door, followed by Gian's confused voice. "Kirana!

Selecting one bound target as a substitute.] Screams ripped through the air. A mangled, blood-soaked body slammed into view. Someone shrieked, "Someone's dead!"

4% deficit and Volkov’s feedback loop poured through the key, through my arm, and into my chest. It was a blinding, white-hot agony. But as it passed through me, it was filtered by Human Emotion. It was no longer pure, entropic noise; it was grief, it was fear, it was the memory of my mother's voice and the heat of Caspian's touch. The Grid felt the change.

Kael Pain is the first thing I taste. Metallic, bitter, clinging to the back of my throat like smoke from a dying fire. And gods—there’s so much of it. It coils through me like barbed wire, winding tight around muscle and bone, biting deeper every time I move. Every step forward is agony. Every breath burns. But I don’t stop. The Veil doesn’t want me here. It screams with every fiber of its cursed being, clawing at my skin with invisible talons, trying to tear me apart molecule by molecule.

He gathered the thin thread of heavenly power he had left and wrapped it around his heart and the core of his soul just to keep them from failing. Then, he started walking deeper into the Grayburn Sect on legs that barely held him. The mountain path was rough and uneven, scattered with loose rocks and dead branches. Every step ground against the wounds on the soles of his feet, and his bones protested with each one. Not only did his meridians feel like they were being slowly pulled apart, but his soul also throbbed in sharp, uneven waves.
