After the battle

Shiva slowly opened his eyes. His vision was still hazy, and his mind was in disarray.

The plain white ceiling was visible for him to see. He looked around, his mind completely blank, just like the plain ceiling.

He dumbly stared at the white ceiling for a minute before grasping the situation.

"Ah...!" The memories of the fight slowly came back, along with the pain all over his body.

It felt as if countless ants were stinging him simultaneously. He didn't feel it when he was fighting due to the excitement, but now that he was lying on the bed, every part of his body was aching like hell.

'I still couldn't beat him..'

Shiva thought but it didn't seem like he was disappointed, rather he was now burning with determination.

'As expected of my rival.'

William was no weakling, even when he became the strongest in his past life, William was just as powerful too.
