HTSAAL-TI [Season 1-3] [Mini novel]

Chapter 91

The unpleasant feeling of being sucked endlessly into a deep hole continued.

Soon, the darkness before my eyes was filled with a variety of colors.

I tried to cover my eyes from the bright light that hurt my eyes, but no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't move.

Beep- Beep- Beep-

A machine sound was faintly heard somewhere.

And as the sound began to become clearer, my vision gradually returned.

I blinked my heavy eyes several times, and my blurry vision gradually came into focus.

As I stared blankly at the IV bottles hanging on the pole, my senses gradually began to come back to me.

A noisy noise, and the hospital’s characteristic medicine smell.

The area around the bed was tightly covered with curtains, but it felt familiar.

‘Emergency room?’

I had clearly lost consciousness on the stage.

So how long had I been sleeping……………….

".......!"

Only then did I come to my senses.

I quickly got up.

"Ugh."

My upper body swayed in an instant.

My physical condition was no different from before I passed out.

My breath was hot, and even when I was still, my whole body felt hot and stiff.

In addition, my limbs were shaking slightly, perhaps due to the aftereffects of the intense performance.

I quickly checked my lifespan.

[Life remaining 00:31:14]

'I'm crazy.'

If I had woken up a little later, I would have died like this. I laughed at myself and opened the system window to receive the daily quest reward.

[Reward lifespan 24:00:00 acquired!]

[Lifespan remaining 24:31:07]

[Lifespan penalty has been lifted!]

A tingling sensation enveloped my entire body. Soon, my rapid breathing became easier.

"Haaah......"

The penalty was all recovered, but I was mentally exhausted from being harassed by the system all day.

I just laid back down on the bed.

'Today was really fcking hard.'

The tension eased and my body became tired.

Just knowing that the penalty was gone made my body feel completely fine.

However, the calmness was broken by a sudden opening of the bed curtains with a sound.

"!! Yoo Hyun-ah……………!"

The manager on the phone opened his eyes and mouth wide as soon as our eyes met.

"Wait a minute, Team Leader! I'll call you back later!"

The manager hung up the phone in a hurry and pushed his face in close while making a loud noise.

"Why on earth did you not say anything until the child became like this?!"

The manager grabbed my cheeks with both hands and turned his head around frantically to check my condition.
