(LVII) Breakthrough

Jackson screamed in agony as his body was continuously broken down and rebuilt by the process of the Growth Fruit and Ho'Kikomo Fruit working together.

He was no longer aware of his surroundings, his consciousness fading in and out as the world became a blur around him.

He was trapped in a dreamlike state where the only thing that existed in his reality was pain and suffering.

He didn't know how long it lasted. It seemed to go on forever until he eventually fell unconscious for some unknown time.

When he woke up, he realized he'd been lying in the lake in the same position for hours, his entire body soaking wet.

He sat up, the water dripping from his face, and he coughed as he tried to stand up.

He couldn't feel anything, and he could barely move, but he forced himself to get to his feet.

He stumbled out of the shallow end of the lake, falling to the muddy shore, coughing and choking as he vomited up the contents of his stomach.
