Atticus's Odyssey: Reincarnated Into A Playground novel Chapter 459

Chapter 459 Steadying

Those were the last things Atticus wanted to happen. In fact, it wasn't even on the list; he didn't want it to ever happen.

'It must be my body's way of warning me about the consequences of overusing my will,' Atticus surmised. He would be a fool not to understand what was happening. And it went without saying that Atticus wanted none of those scenes to happen, not in a million years.

'Message gotten loud and clear.'

Atticus focused on calming his state of mind, repeating those words constantly, and after a few moments that seemed like a decade to him, Atticus's real eyes flickered open, his form stirring slightly.

His gaze was instantly met with a multitude of Stalactites hanging from the ceiling.

'Where am I?'

Atticus's body stirred, using his hand as support to sit up straight.

"Fuck."

Atticus placed his palm on the side of his head, his face wincing in pain. The intensity of the pain that just racked his head had been staggering.

Atticus could feel an intense headache hammering his head. After taking a moment to get used to the pain, Atticus opened his eyes and turned to look at his surroundings.

He could feel that he was currently lying down on something soft; turning, he saw it was a bundle of different clothes.

He turned and saw a pitch-black space behind him and an open space on the other side surrounded by trees.

Atticus was still trying to regain his bearings. The headache racking his head seemed to stop every attempt at formulating a thought.

'A cave?'

It was as though that realization was what he needed as a flood of memories suddenly streamed into his mind.

'I see.'

Atticus raised his palms, seeing as they were already completely healed, leaving no scar. Apart from that, there were no other injuries on him, only the headache racking his head.

Atticus rested his back on the wall of the cave, taking in deep breaths, trying to steady his mind.

"You're awake!"

His gaze snapped open to see Aurora's excited form approaching him quickly. Atticus's eyes instantly landed on her red, puffy eyes as she neared him.

"You're finally awake!"

Just as Aurora was about to rush in and hug Atticus, she abruptly stopped, her cautious and worried gaze scanning Atticus's body.

"How are you feeling?" She asked softly.

Atticus smiled warmly before chuckling slightly, an action that made his head pound hard, making him wince.

"A-are you okay!?" Aurora rushed to his side while gazing at Atticus intently, scrutinizing him and trying to see if there was anything wrong with him.

Atticus couldn't help himself; seeing the hot-blooded Aurora act like this was fun. He chuckled again and suddenly remarked with a smile, "You've always been a crybaby."

Hearing Atticus's remark, Aurora's beating heart seemed to calm down a bit as she stared at Atticus with a serious gaze.

'Hm?' Atticus stared back, a little confused.

Usually, Aurora would have blushed or pretended not to care hearing his remark. He was a little shocked she was looking at him this way.

"What's wrong?" Atticus asked.
