Prodigy

Gasp…

I awoke in the middle of the night.

My bed was completely soaked in sweat and my breathing was erratic as if I've seen a ghost.

'What the hell…'

Rubbing my face, I slowly turned my trembling eyes towards the clock.

[ 01:34 AM ]

It was already well past midnight.

What annoyed me the most was that I didn't even know why I woke up in such a panicked state. I usually sleep as sound as a rock.

I don't even remember having a nightmare…

No, that'd be a lie. I did dream about something.

However, I couldn't recall what it was.

It felt like 'something' was blocking even the slightest glimpse of that dream from my memory.

"That's weird…"

I quickly accessed my status screen to check if I had been afflicted with some kind of a curse, but everything seemed to be in order.

It was highly suspicious.

Unfortunately, I could do nothing about it. There were simply no clues to go on.
