Ch 70

Back to me falling 

I was falling—plunging through an endless sea of swirling colors and fractured space. Time lost all meaning. Seconds? Minutes? Hours? I had no idea. I couldn't feel even the faintest shred of time flowing in this place.

 There was no up or down, only the unrelenting sensation of descent, my body weightless yet trapped in a never-ending spiral.

Then, without warning—

Thud.

I hit the ground. Hard.

"Ugh… damn, that hurts," I groaned, my voice hoarse as I pushed myself up. A sharp ache spread through my lower back, and I winced, rubbing the sore spot. My thoughts immediately turned to cursing that supreme being—

But I froze.

Yeah, no. Not worth another round of divine flicks. Or worse—the beating I had just endured. There was no way I would go through that again.
