Chapter 5

I wipe the sweat away from my forehead and release a tired breath.

"Good job! You have grown in the past three days."

"Thank you for teaching me how to wield my weapon."

In these past three days, I healed the injured people from the plague, trained my body, and learned how to wield my war ax from the village chief.

I'm fortunate that the people in this village are willing to teach me the basics. How to hold your weapon the correct way. What is the positive and negative thing about a War Axe? Those are the things I learned these past days.

It is fundamental, but I'm satisfied with my training.

As for physical training, it was a slightly upgraded version of your usual exercise. Running around the training ground, push up, sit and pull up. What makes it different is that the village chief, my training teacher, decided to tie a weight around my arms and legs.

"It was not a problem, my lord. It is my pleasure to teach you something. This is the least thing I can do for what you have done for us."

"Think nothing of it. It is my pleasure to help you guys."

"You are so kind and selfless, my lord. Not only healing, but you also give us a recipe to make a medicine that we can use. If there is something I can do, please tell me."

Yeah. Besides giving them a recipe to create painkillers, I also provide them with some medicine that they can use to cure other diseases. I am blessed to have chosen Faerie Feast. I can use that perk to make potions and medicine as well because it dwells in chemistry as well.

Other than the food, it can also make an alternate medicine that is surprisingly very effective. Not only that, but this perk also gives me a picture of all the ingredients I need to make that medicine from the local plants and animal parts.

"Please, it was my pleasure."

I give the village chief a small smile. It was really my pleasure. I became a doctor in my previous life to help others. I did not become a doctor because I want money. The pay for a doctor is excellent, but my main reason for becoming a doctor did not change.

"Anyway, I think I should take a bath because the sun is already setting."

"Of course, my lord. The servant will be taking care of your need."

That is a tradition I did not understand. A servant will be the one cleaning me. The servant did not do any sexual thing, but it was still uncomfortable being washed by a beautiful woman from your head to your toe. Luckily, she wears this world version of a swimsuit.

Yes, she also washed my dick as well.

After she finished washing my body, she would wait for me to finish soaking my body inside the bathtub. When I finished soaking my body, she would then dry my body with a towel. Lucky for me, she did not help me put on my clothes.

I'm a man, and I already experience sex and all that but seeing a woman helping you clean and dry your body is a little bit too much.

"Haaaaa"

|Saurial Va-Taruk POV|

It hurts. It hurts. Help me… anyone… help me…

I do not know how long I need to endure this kind of pain, but I want to feel anything besides pain…. Please…

That so-called hero has doomed the world. He killed the Black Dragon, but he did it by releasing a massive curse upon the world. The curse consumes many souls, from the beastman to the mighty elves. All of them are helpless against this curse.

Even me. I don't know if others can hear this, but… help me. Please get me out of this hell.

~The Next Day~

"Let me heal you up."

Who?!? Where?!? I cannot see, but somehow I hear someone talking to me.

"Let me ease up your pain. First thing first, your heart."

I can hear a shooting voice of a man next to me, and I can feel something other than pain for the first time. It was a warm feeling. The soothing feeling that only a mother would give when she has her children. That is the feeling I get right now.

The feeling lasts for a few minutes before suddenly it disappears. Where? Where is the warmth? Where is my warmth?

"I'm sorry to cut it short, but the others also need my help. Don't worry. The pain should be rather easy to bear now."

I can feel the warmth coming back, but it disappears once again.

"Please hold in there. Never give up."

No… Don't go… My warmth… No… Please...

~The Next Day~

"We meet again. Let me heal you up."

Ah… He is back… My warmth… He is back…

"Now, let us heal your kidney and lungs."

Ahhh~ My warmth is back… I can feel my pain begin to lessen up, and I can feel I can open up my eyes for a little bit. After a long time, the first thing I can see is a silhouette of a man surrounded by a bright light.

Ahh… What a beautiful sight. A golden light that pierces through the darkness that surrounds me. What a beautiful sight. I want to touch him. I want to see him. I want to see the man behind the shadow.

I can see his hand touch my body, and I can see it was him, the source of my warmth. Ahhh… I want to meet him.

~The next day~

Just like the previous day, I can feel the warm hand of my savior, and I cannot be happier than feeling the touch of my savior.

"Now, we shall fix your eyes and throat."

I can feel the warm feeling around my throat, and my eyes can see a golden light cover up my eyes. It lasts for a few minutes before suddenly the light is gone. I try to open up my eyes, and to my surprise, I successfully open them.

"Good morning, sleeping beauty."

I couldn't help but blush when I heard what my savior was saying. Combined with his face and kind expression, it was a dangerous combination.

My savior has brown hair and green eyes. He looked at me right in the eyes with a kind expression. Ahhh… What a beautiful sight.

"G-Good…. M-Morning…."

"Don't force yourself, dear. You are not fully healed. Let me call your father."

I want to tell him to stay, but my mouth cannot say it. I am lying on the ground looking at the ceiling of my family's house. I never thought that I would be able to see the ceiling of my house once again. I never thought that I could be saved. I thought that I would be in that purgatory and get tortured by darkness and pain.

A trail of tears came out of my eyes as I looked at the ceiling without me knowing.

"Saurial!"

I slowly look to the left and see my father looking at me with a hopeful expression.

"F-Father…"

"You… wake up… My daughter…"

On the other side of the room is Chris looking at the reunion between daughter and father before walking away from the room. To see that smile and tear of happiness. This is the reason why he became a doctor.
