The lake water was shimmery and cool to touch. And when I tasted it, there was a tingly sensation like ice on my tongue. Drinking it also seemed to refill the HP I lost in the battle and my scales that had been torched, also stopped throbbing.
It took me a moment to process - what mysterious water.
Normally, my regeneration was slow, but it seemed whenever I level up, my status got reset, more so if I was severely injured. And the water only seemed to expedite this process.
I wriggled around more in the shallow end, a tingle spread across my body. My burnt scales began to loosen and soon a large sheet came off in the water to form an exact replica of myself.
It seemed, I had shed again.
The last time it happened was also when I levelled up after taking a lot of damage - perhaps that was the key to resetting physical damage.
I looked at my shiny, new scales and how they glistened prettily over the water and stopped.
Wasn't this bad?
