Chapter 192 - 191 – Sleeping For Years?
"Where am I?" I saw myself in a completely black space. It was different from when I talked to the goddess, it was the complete opposite.
I got up and looked around for some way out, but I seemed to be locked in a black cube.
\'What did you do? You decided to arrest me now?\' I complained in my mind as I punched the black wall in front of me. I wondered if the goddess had done this to me.
As I recall, I died and meet her.
After that, I was in the forest and tried to go back home, but unfortunately, I was hurt and I ended up passing out.
\'Hm, didn\'t something happen before I passed out? I feel like I\'m forgetting something.\' I felt like I had forgotten something very important that had happened before I passed out.
I saw someone.
\'Have I seen someone?\' Hmm, I can\'t remember.
\'But now how do I get back? I\'m still passed out and that\'s why I\'m in this place? I just woke up here, but maybe... I\'ve been here for days?\' It scares me, how long have I been passed out?
Or maybe I died?
\'That thought is giving me the creeps. What if I\'ve been in a coma for years? What do I do?\'
With that in mind, I started punching the wall even harder, then I started screaming the goddess\'s name to see if she would appear in front of me, but to no avail, I was completely ignored.
\'And I can\'t even see my Status. What do I do?\' Not having much choice, I sat down on the floor and leaned my back against the wall, waiting for something to happen.
Maybe I stayed here for hours, but finally, something appeared in front of me.
It was something like a door. In contrast to the completely black room, it was a bright, completely white door that drew a lot of attention.
\'So you decided to talk to me?\' I thought as I approached the door. And so, I opened the door and expected to find the goddess in front of me. But contrary to my expectations, I passed out again.

Lisandra, Lari, and Ciaphia were still in the bedroom next to Noah. Emma a little farther away was sitting in a chair while she was fighting not to sleep. As it was already night, she was feeling tired.
She\'s been here for hours waiting for Noah to wake up, but unfortunately, he hasn\'t woken up yet.
And as she didn\'t have much to talk about with the three girls, she felt very bored, and that make her sleepy.
"hm" Emma, who almost fell out of her chair while sleeping, was startled and woke up suddenly. When she opened her eyes and looked straight ahead to where the bed was, she noticed that Noah had been moving.
"HE MOVED HIS HAND!" She yelled as she got up from her chair.
The three girls who weren\'t looking at Noah at the time were startled.
"What\'s it? WHAT?!" Lisandra screamed as she tried to find out exactly what had happened.
"?!" Ciaphia seemed to understand and looked at Noah apprehensively. Lari was acting the same way.
"I saw Noah moving, his hand moved!" Emma said as she approached the bed and also moved closer to Noah. Hearing this, Lisandra looked very surprised.
Lisandra looked at Noah for a while but couldn\'t see the boy move. Because of that, she looked at her mother confused.
"Are you sure he moved his hand? Isn\'t it because you\'re sleepy?"
"No, I\'m sure I saw his hand move." Emma took Noah\'s right hand that was out of the blanket and held it. Then she felt her hand being squeezed.
"Here, he\'s shaking my hand." Emma raised her hand and showed Lisandra and Ciaphia that were close to her. Noah\'s small hand was clenched around Emma\'s.
Emma was smiling as tears streamed down her face. She felt her heart happier than ever, she couldn\'t hold back her tears of joy when she felt her son squeeze her hand.
Lari on the other side of the bed had Noah\'s hand in her hand. She too had started to cry silently as she looked expectantly at Noah\'s face.
"It\'s true, it\'s true." Lisandra who received this information put a smile on her face and before she knew it her body was no longer responding on its own and she got up and started jumping.
She jumped out of bed and started jumping on the floor.
"It\'s true, he\'s waking up." She smiled and started to cry. She also held Ciaphia\'s hands, who still didn\'t know how to react, seeming not to believe what was happening.
Even though they had already received the information that Noah could wake up in the next few days, it was a shock to her.
But the shock only lasted a few seconds, as soon after she also started jumping along with Lisandra while shedding tears of happiness.
"Yeey, yeey." The two girls screamed and jumped while acting childishly.
Emma who watched them smiled at the girls as her happy tears began to flow again. Until suddenly she felt her hand tighten even more, then she looked into Noah\'s face once more.
"He... He\'s waking up." Emma could see Noah\'s mouth moving as his eyes slowly opened.
"I WILL CALL MY FATHER!" Lisandra screamed as she let go of Ciaphia\'s hands, but the noise and screams of Lisandra and Ciaphia were loud so there was no need for Lisandra to leave.
As soon as she prepared to leave the room, Lucio suddenly opened the door, revealing a happy and tired face.

As I struggled to open my eyes, I felt two warm hands touching both of my hands. I was feeling like I was flying in the sky, but with my eyes closed.
But even though I was feeling like I was in heaven and not hearing anything around me, I could feel two people touching my hands. When I tried to somehow move my body, the only things I moved were my hands.
So I pressed hands with whoever was holding my hands.
When I did that, I felt the grip on my hand tighten, even more, making me even feel a little pain.
I started to feel my body getting heavier, and at the same time, I felt like I was slowly falling towards a \'\'ground\'\' that didn\'t exist.
I kept falling until a light like the one before appeared. Even though I felt my eyes were closed, I could see that light coming towards me.
No, I was falling towards the light.
And after just a few seconds, I was engulfed by the light. The moment that happened, I started to feel tremendous heat and I felt the grip on my hands more clearly.
"Ah…a…wak…" And at the same time, I started to hear some voices, but the voices were being cut off and I couldn\'t understand very well.
And right then, trying to open my eyes, I felt my lids heavy, but even so, I struggled to open my eyes slowly. When I did this, an enormous amount of light hit my eyes, forcing me to close them.
I tried to open my eyes slowly as I tried to understand what the people around me were saying.
"Urg…" I moaned as I forced my eyes to stay open. But the light was too much, my eyes hurt. I don\'t know if it was because I had been sleeping for a long time or something like that, but it was painful.
"A…." As my eyes got used to staying open, I tried to say something, but it didn\'t come out. My throat and mouth were dry, and when I tried to speak my throat hurt.
I kept my eyes open for a while longer until finally my eyes had got used to staying open. The light was no longer hurting me and I could see relatively well.
The first thing I noticed was a wooden ceiling, it was the ceiling in my house, but it wasn\'t the ceiling in my bedroom.
\'And it seems to be raining.\' And even though I couldn\'t hear or understand the people around me very well, I could hear the sound of rain falling on the roof.
\'I stayed my sleeping for years? I\'m feeling so awful.." My throat feels dry like I haven\'t talked for years or not drunk water. I felt my body heavy as if it were stunted.
In addition to my hand and hearing being quite impaired for some reason.
\'And I feel so weak.\' I was feeling like I hadn\'t eaten anything in years.
"Noa.."
"Noah, are you okay?"
"Huh?"
As I continued to stare at the ceiling while not speaking, I suddenly could hear someone\'s voice calling me. It was the voice of my mother, I would never mistake her voice.
I made a weird sound but I can\'t speak now, so I just looked at her.
When I saw my mother in front of me, the first thing I started to do was feel an overwhelming need to apologize.
But my voice didn\'t come out, I gave up on the idea.
And the other thing that caught my attention was that she was as before, that is...
\'I\'m not in a coma for months or years... Phew....\'
