Silence Before the Storm

"Man, I look like shit," I chuckled while eyeing myself in the mirror.

After that unexpected mixed up with the Nexus Legion, I decided to head back home first to fix my bearings.

My charisma really took a hit after I almost turned into a human BBQ, but I could feel it making a comeback, slowly but surely. 

Wiping off the burn scars on my face, I noticed this sticky substance. It felt strange, like I could peel off my skin. So, I did, almost like shedding my skin like a snake.

The burnt skin started peeling off and falling to the floor—disgusting, yet oddly satisfying. You know that feeling when a wound heals, and you just can't resist peeling off that dried, dark skin? Well, imagine that sensation covering almost 80% of my body. Had to get creative and use my Telekinesis to help clean up the mess. 

Underneath, a newer and much softer skin emerged. It was so soft that I could even see my veins through it.
