"..."
As the first light of dawn filtered through the remnants of the ship's cabin, I slowly roused from my exhausted slumber.
My body ached with the memory of yesterday's battle, every muscle protesting as I tried to shift my position on the uncomfortable floor.
"I can endure pain, but this is just pure torture."
With a low groan, I muttered to myself.
Whoosh...
Summoning my Mana, I channeled its soothing energy through my tired muscles, attempting to alleviate some of the soreness.
It took a few minutes of concentrated effort, but gradually, the tension eased, and I managed to rise to my feet.
Ruffling dark bangs that fell across my forehead, I pushed open the cabin door and stepped outside, only to be met with an unexpected sensation.
Splash...
The water swarmed around my feet, drenching my shoes and sending a shiver up my spine.
