Tick, tock, tick, tock.
The clock is sounding, the times is passing by, and Yra, is in the floor, shaking.

[POV Yra Draco Vanris]
I have been focusing on getting stronger, especially in magical terms, getting to form my fourth magic circle, but I was a fool, and finally one day, I paid for my stupidity.
After getting back from my morning cultivation, I arrive at an empty apartment, after all, Alyssa was already at her academy.
A strong fever start increasing, my whole body was feeling like burning.
“Fuck!” – I scream, knowing what it was, and how stupid I was for advancing so fast, despite knowing the consequences of that.
[Fool, you are a fucking fool, Mana’s Fever, you have fucking Mana’s Fever!]
[How is this possible?]
“Shut up!”
I scream.
Mana’s Fever, a fever cause when the mana inside the body is close to explode, an overdose of mana that was corroding my body’s mana veins, and burning my magic circles, this happen when the body absorbs an absurd amount of mana that surpass what the body can sustain for the moment.
My heart’s beats faster.

Sweat starts pouring all around my body.
My senses get disoriented.
And the pain increases.
Writhing on the floor in agony, I start screaming, as I also have problems to breathe, my visions become blurry, and I felt like my blood and mana flowing inside my body was burning, hurting me, making me feel more pain.
‘Is this… the end?’
[No, it can’t be!]
[You’re a fucking idiot!]
[We should have advised us about this… we were all fools.]
‘No… I don’t want to die! Not like this!’
An even more absurd death that my first one.
Alone…
With a lot of pain.
And then… I heard screams, women scream, and then… darkness took me.
…
…
…
I open my eyes.
[We are alive.]
[Disgraceful! How low we have come to be!]
[Thanks to our lord, God; let’s pray!]
[Pray? Puah! Disgusting!]
“Shut up.” – I said with a weak voice.
I was thirsty, and hungry, and I felt weak.
‘Still… despite my fool idea of not observing my mana’s reserves and the condition of my body, I did not expect to suffer Mana’s Fever so quickly and not having perceive it at all until my body started to malfunction…’
Looking around, I understood that I was in a hospital.
‘Hell, the hospital bills surely with be a pain in the ass.’ – I thought.
How cliché, darkness took me, and then I awoke in a hospital room, and surely, as I thought, a beautiful nurse came to check on me.
“You’re awake?” – The beautiful nurse said, as she gets closer to me.
“How long?”
“Don’t talk too much, you have been in a coma for a week-long, I will go for the doctor how treat you.” – and she gets out, as my eyes sadly goes to her beautiful long legs.
‘Damn pervert, I am not like this… right?’
[Deep inside, we are perverts!]
[Hell yeah!]
[That’s bad, let’s pray]
[Puah!]
“Shut the fuck up!” – I said, regaining a little bit of strength in my voices, as I start believing that I was getting more and more crazy.
Then, I waited, and soon, a man having a face mask that cover his nose and mouth, enters.
[This feeling?]
Then, something snaps on me.
Is like I am in a trance.
“How are you feeling?” – then, he spoke, his masculine, nice to the ear, voice.
Then, I felt it, this man in front of me was… the strongest I have ever met since a long time ago, since my fourth life.
