‘Won’t it be better to just die than be in this much pain?’ Eugene seriously wondered as he lay in bed.

Every time he so much as lifted a finger, his entire body was in such pain that Eugene had to grit his teeth to not scream. His body was so tightly wrapped with bandages that he felt stuffy. He was on so many medicines that smelled so disgusting they hurt his nostrils.

“MerMerMerdein, I’m really gonna kill you.”

“My name isn’t MerMerMerdein.”

“Ah fuck. Ignition...
