Poisoned

A week quickly passed by and William was able to train the metal body refining technique again. He still chose iron, he wanted to have an extremely strong defense. Strength was one thing, but having the ability to survive was most important and nothing was better then having a strong defense. If he could gain more speed now then he would have the perfect survival chances.

But he had currently no means to gain more speed, so he just concentrated on his defense and absorbed the metal ores, but he suddenly started feeling pain. It got worse and worse. It was an extreme pain that went from his skin till to his inner organs. Every single living cell in his body was hurting he had never felt so much pain before.

He quickly checked the metal ores and noticed that they had been poisoned! He had been careless, he completely forgot about that assassin girl that was after him. She had poisoned all of his metal ores, this was the most evilish trap he had ever seen. The poison was now fused to his entire body he had no way of getting rid of it, but luckily it was a slowly working poison or he would've been dead long ago.

He immediately started running towards the nearest doctor, there was a huge crowd in front of the doctors office. Many people wanted to get treatment for their sicknesses. Doctors were always sought after, but William had no time to wait, so he pulled of the most famous trick off on how to cut in line in a doctor's office. He faked collapsing, he could still walk but he faked collapsing to get the attention of the crowd and the doctor.

The crowd immediately started to talk about him, it wasn't everyday that someone just collapsed out of nowhere. Some asked him if he needed help, but he just said „please call the doctor, I'm poisoned!" The people were shocked when they heard that, but most just assumed that he was careless and bitten by a deadly snake. After all William didn't really dress pretty when he ran outside, rather he looked like a beggar and who would poison a beggar?

The doctor soon came out of his room, he frowned when he saw Williams clothes but he started checking his condition anyway, but he was schocked when he noticed Williams condition, he never saw such a bad case of someone being poisoned.

„the poison has fused with your entire body, there is nothing that I can do for you. I hope you don't take it personally, but even if I were to give you an antidote it wouldn't do anything. The poison has spread everywhere even your brain is full of poison, there is nothing that I can do" said the doctor.
