You’re Lucky I Love You

Warlock Ch 121. You're Lucky I Love You

Damian stared at the ceiling, his mind churning even as his body begged for rest. Every muscle ached, and his chest burned with phantom pain from where Malthus had tried to rip out his Mana Core. He sighed heavily, wishing he could just close his eyes and slip back into the dream.

"Come on," he muttered to himself. "Let me back in. I've got a bone to pick with that annoying artifact."

But no matter how much he willed it, sleep didn't come. When he did drift close to unconsciousness, the pain in his body yanked him back to reality. He groaned, tilting his head to glance at the darkened room.

He shifted slightly on the bed, only to wince and hiss. "Ow. Ow. Ow…" Every movement sent sharp reminders of his battle, but lying still wasn't much better. His frustration bubbled.
