The cold tingly sensation still lingered on my tongue from the potion, but a surprising warmth began spreading throughout my body.
At first, it was pleasant, like I was filling up with boundless energy, but the sensation soon turned unpleasant, escalating to an uncontrollable heat that made me want to rip off my own skin.
When I looked down, the blood was rising out of my wound in puffs of steam and I was also trembling uncontrollably, the feeling, utterly excruciating, like the energy amassed from the potion was trying to break its way out by any means.
Just breathing felt like there was fire coursing through my nostrils and when I checked my stats they had increased once again.
