Brand New Life Online: Rise Of The Goddess Of Harvest

(E l a y n e ‘s P O V)

When I woke up again, I suddenly felt less constipated, and slightly better. My breathing had calmed down as well, and although the fever was still rather noticeable, my mind was clearer. It was around 8 PM when I woke up, as I quickly went to the bathroom as well. When I walked outside, I heard someone knocking the door, and I opened, finding Mark there.

“Elayne, you’re awake?” He wondered.

“Ah yeah… I feel a bit better now.” I yawned.

“I’m glad. I’m going back home now. There’s still more soup if you want to. I also cooked dinner.” He said.

“Dinner? I thought you weren’t good at cooking…” I said.

“I just copied what you’ve been giving me at work.” He said. “I made some rice and chop suey, but it suffices. Take care now.”

“A-Alright… Thanks for everything Mark. I could had called Rita as well but she got a whole family to take care of…” I sighed, feeling slightly sleepy.

I felt very grateful quite honestly, he did too much for me without me even asking him to do all of that. I was so happy I wanted to hug him, but I stopped myself, thinking that I might end up giving him whatever I caught.

“Don’t worry about it. I’m going back home now, take care.” Mark said.

“Yeah, thanks again! Take care on the way back!” I said, as I saw him walk away.

After eating something, I quickly decided to go back to my room and slept like a baby until the next morning. I don’t remember a day I’ve slept so much before. It was very relaxing… I really needed to take a break.

“You’re seriously a handful…”

.

.

.

“To think your body is so weak that you’ll almost die with the infusion of Mana and Spiritual Essence…”

. .

.

.

“Oh well, that guy over there was nice enough to take care of you.”

.

.

.

“This world has already changed, and will continue doing so… You better prepare.”

.

.

.

“It’s a pain I can’t talk to you directly when you’re awake due to the restrictions made by the Gods governing here, but such restrictions might be lifted soon…”

.

.

.

“…After all, the world will change and they will be forced to change alongside it…”

.

.

.

“It is a risky gamble, yeah… But I know they don’t want to let this world end like my own…”

.

.

.

“Yawn…”

When I woke up, I felt surprisingly well!

I didn’t felt tired at all, and I was… even more energetic? Did Mark’s treatment helped me recover super-fast? Is he a healer or something? I also felt super energetic for some reason, the moment I got out of bed I did it by jumping out of it, something I’ve never done before. I also felt strangely… stronger? Or something like that.

I also… remember more weird voices talking to me back in my dreams. Those must be my own dreams I guess. I am super bad at remembering what I dream about unless it is a nightmare, or some old memory. I seriously can’t remember what I even dreamed about.

“Sigh… Well, whatever.”

I quickly decided to go to the bathroom and then stretch for a bit, doing some exercise. I realized I was just back to 100% without any issues or problems at all. I seem to have completely healed. I didn’t even had indigestion or anything that usually happens as an aftermath of having fever.

In fact, aren’t I a bit stronger than before?

Like… I just feel like it!

“Maybe the Gym’s paying off already? But it hasn’t been that long since I started going there! I’ll surely go today as well.” I said with a nod.

Today was the last day of the week so I didn’t wanted to waste it. I quickly contacted Mark and Rita, telling them I had recovered. I also checked the App for the game and found both of them talking to me.

It seems that we had ended up delaying the quest because I wasn’t present. I gave the excuse that “I was in a family’s reunion” and Titan (Mark) seemed to have believed it. Rita knew I was sick but didn’t said anything about it, I hope she doesn’t begin suspecting anything strange.

After that, I went to take a shower and then decided to make breakfast. I was feeling incredibly hungry for some reason, so I made tons of pancakes, toasts, eggs and bacon, alongside a nice hot coffee for me and tea for Elena, as she liked to drink that in the mornings.

“Elena, dear! Its breakfast!” I said, Elena walked out of her room. Anna had gone back home yesterday after lunch apparently.

“Mom… You’re alright? Didn’t you had a strong fever? I’ve been checking on you all night…” Said my daughter.

“You were? Don’t worry dear, I am alright now!” I said happily. “In fact, mama’s feeling super strong this morning, like super! I guess the gym really paid off! Look what a single day did to me!”

“…Can a gym be so effective?!” My daughter wondered.

“Yeah you should totally come exercise with mama!” I said with a nod, serving her pancakes.

“W-Well, I don’t think I will do that…” She said. “But I was really worried… I’m grateful for Mark too, he helped in the house and all as well without anybody asking him for it… I am happy you’re okay too…”

“Heheh… You’re so cute when you get worried about me…” I said, petting my daughter’s head and giving him several kisses over her face, and then hugging her tightly. “Don’t worry, no fever can beat me!”

“Dummy…”

“Eh?”

“Be more careful about your own health too…”

My daughter quickly looked at me with eyes that were just about to cry tears.

“Awawaahh…! S-Sorry for worrying you! I-It is okay now… I will try to be more careful from now on…” I sighed, hugging her tightly.
