CHAPTER 92

Watts exhaled softly. "You know, Nova, I really don't know what I'm doing anymore."

His words were barely above a whisper, yet they carried a weight that even he wasn't sure how to unpack.

"It feels like life is moving too fast, like I can't keep up. One moment, I was just some normal guy, doing normal things with normal people... and now?"

He chuckled dryly. "Now, I'm wanted by gods."

He let the statement hang in the air, shaking his head at the absurdity of it all. He was talking to a bird. Maybe he was losing his mind.

Nova, however, seemed to have other thoughts on the matter.

With a sharp chirp, she suddenly jabbed her small beak downward.

Straight into his crotch.

Watts nearly fell off his chair.

Even though his body was impervious to most physical damage, the sheer surprise of the attack had him doubling over, clutching himself in exaggerated agony.
