With the battle finished everyone outside the wall headed back inside. Urist smiled and waved at his people before retiring to his room, wishing to rest and not be disturbed. Closing the door behind him, the smile faded from his lips as his body color went pale as he was drenched in sweat.
He bit his lip to hold back his scream as he felt ants claw under his skin as waves of pain ebbed over his body. Falling to his knees he huddled into a ball using his sheer willpower to not scream his lungs out.
I have to be strong, I can’t show weakness. Not now, I just have to tough it out for this ‘advance.’ If my body was strong enough I’d be able to handle the strain of Disable no problem. I wonder how past me could keep this going on for an hour with no problem. Feel like I’m going to rip the skin off my body. Give or take an hour, it'll start to fade and within six it’ll be gone. I just can’t see anyone for at least five hours.
Having made up his mind, Urist began to crawl to his bed when he heard a knock at the door. Freezing mid crawl thoughts began to race through the mind.
What do I do? Who is it? Uria? Adster to check up on my wounds? Someone else?
“Hey, Urist it’s me, Ubel. I wanted to talk to you about the current experiments that Vlad is running on those Rats. Do you have time?”
“I’m… Currently resting right now can you come. B-back later?”
Trying his best to keep a level voice to blow off Ubel seemed to work for a moment before he snorted and pushed the door open. When Ubel saw Urist trembling on the ground he was about to call for a medic.
“Stop! Don’t. It’s not that s-serious.”
Ubel turned back to Urist with scorn, “Bullshit. Just look at yourself, you’re a wreck. No wonder you kept the fight short, using the power of berserk just to free Volt. If you keep using that power it’s going to destroy your body. I’ll be back soon, I bat the medics and have something to help you reduce the pain.”
“I didn’t use the power of b-berserk. I used magic from my past life and know that I’ll be fine in a bit give or take a few hours.”
“Oh, and what magic is this? You didn’t tell me you regained your memories.”
“Help me into b-bed and I’ll t-tell you.”
A sigh escapes Ubel as he helped Urist stand before walking over and putting him into bed.
“Now that you’re in bed tell me everything.”
“O-ok it goes like this…”
…
“So what you’re telling me is that you were a support hero exactly and that you took the support spell to disable meant for easing pain and weaponized it. Being bat shit crazy by changing your mana attunement to that of disable causing all your liquids and body touch to numb the target to the point of them not able to move the affected part.

“How did your past self not explode or be driven insane from attempting such magic? It sounds impossible to change your mana inside your body at will!”
After slowly drinking his cup of water Urist set it down and replied with a shrug that made him wince from the pain.
“As I said I only remember parts of the beginning of my life as the support hero. In fact, I seem to be missing important information about my life in college and to that point. I still wonder how I and Rhea died with how well we planned our forces in the beginning.
“Each night I just remember a little more of my past and I am amazed how much I changed to what little I remembered before. In contrast to my weak and spineless self; I seemed to be confident, in control, and at ease. What had changed in that bridge known as college?”
“Who knows Urist, but who is this Rhea you speak of? The way you word it, it sounds like she lives here. But if memory serves me right no one has that name.”
Hearing the question Urist felt conflicted in whether to answer or not. Afterall it was somewhat personal to him and Uria that didn’t need to be said. Still, not answering him would be rude to do with how he is supporting him.
“I’m not sure I should tell you this Ubel since me and her are still working out our history together. But I’m pretty sure you can guess who she is. I’d just ask you to give me time as we figure out where we stand.”
“Oh. I see... Understood I’ll drop that matter as of now. My curiosity is slated for now, after you are in better condition I’ll come see you and discuss the… Rat plans.”
Exiting the room Uria and her handler entered the room. By now Urist felt good enough not to shake but his skin was still pale, fortunately, Uria’s voice rang out.
“Thank you for your help, I can handle the rest of the way.”
“As you wish, mistress.”
With that Ubel and the other dwarf closed the door and left Uria and Urist alone. Gritting his teeth Urist made an effort to try and get out of his bed.
“Lay down and rest dummy. I can’t believe you used that magic when your body isn’t strong enough to handle it.”
“Did you?”
Uria shook her head, “No, I didn’t hear it from the doorway. I’ve regained my memories from the crystal. Although I remember your last name, my love for your first name escapes me Urist.”
Hearing Uria calling him her lover made the pain for instant shut off and made him blush furiously. “That’s fine, did you recall your name?”
“Yes, I know without a doubt I was called Rhea. But…”
“But?”
“I wonder if I should keep it? It’s just that I don’t know how to feel taking my old name when you can’t remember your own, my love. No. I won’t in fact. Until we can remember your name from henceforth I will be known as Uria. Now keep talking so I may reach the bed.”
Holding back a chuckle at how serious Uria looked he began talking to Uria under the pain and kept going until it faded away. With her by his side, it seemed not that big of a deal.
