Beep-Beep.
In a white room with different dical items filling the place and different dical machine placed around.
The sound of the machine beeping in the background felt clear and irritating as I lay on my back, gazing at the ceiling.
Three doctors wearing white coats stood beside , taking turns to examine my body.
After they were done with their work, they stepped back, and an aged lady walked forward, also dressed in white.
"Good morning, Azariah," Dr. Greyson greeted with a warm smile as she approached. "How are you feeling?"
"Tired, fucked up, but mostly tired," I replied, shrugging,my voice weary.
She had been my doctor for a while now, so I could behave however I wanted in front of her, and she wouldn't mind at all.
My head had been pounding for a while now, and the exhaustion I was feeling wasn't helping much, but even then, I tried to sit up.
"Don't move, just lie on your back."
Nodding in understanding, Dr. Greyson gestured for to lie back on the examination table again, and as I did, she began her assessnt.
With practiced hands, she checked my temperature, pulse, and blood pressure, her movents efficient yet gentle.
After a thorough examination, Dr. Greyson stepped back, her expression thoughtful as she looked at .
"Azariah," with a tired expression, she mumbled, "when was the last ti you slept properly?"
".... I don't know," I replied with a long pause, unable to recall when was the last ti I slept properly.
"I will still recomnd you to have so sleeping pills," she said as she gazed at the mark on my neck.
"And I will still refuse the offer. I don't want to die while in my sleep," I replied firmly, refusing her offer.
"What are you afraid of, Azariah? No one can touch you in your mother's presence," she replied with a frustrated look, as I had been refusing to take sleeping pills for a long ti.
"You don't understand," I mumbled, my gaze fixed on her.
You don't understand that my mother is the one that I am afraid of...
That she is the one that I fear will one day kill in my sleep if she is displeased with sothing.
"You don't understand," I mumbled again as I closed my eyes.
"Well....sigh...fine, but it seems that you've been pushing yourself too hard lately. Your body is telling you that it needs rest," she said with a sigh as she looked at again.
"I know, but do you think I can rest properly?" I replied, letting out a sigh as well.
To my frustration, I couldn't rest properly.
After finishing my treatnt, I would be going to the training ground where I would be beaten black and blue by my mother's secretary in the na of training.
She is a living monster that likes to beat up.
I am filled with bruises and fractures every ti my training ends.
And to make it worse, every ti I tried to sleep, I would be haunted by nightmares.
Nightmares of getting tortured in a dark place.
I couldn't even move in my nightmares, making it even more horrifying.
"And eat properly, you look like you only have bones in your body," she said jokingly, but I still glared at her, which made her shut up.
"Sigh..."
I sighed as I closed my eyes.
I couldn't taste anything, whatever I ate, so what was the point of eating anything?
"Prescribe so dication to help with my headaches and fatigue," I said to her as I opened my eyes, the headache was killing now.
"Hmm," she humd in reply as she wrote sothing on a paper, passing it to the doctor standing beside her.
"And now let help you with your injuries," she mumbled, picking up a bag of liquid substance and passing it to , "drink it."
I did as she told , drinking the liquid which would help in the healing process.
Then she carefully touched my neck precisely where it was damaged and transferred a small amount of mana onto it.
The liquid I drank worked as well, providing nutrients as the new cells started to grow at a rapid speed.
"Done." After a full minute, she removed her hand, smiling.
"Here as well," I replied, removing my shirt and showing her my swollen ribs.
Without asking how this happened, she placed her hand on my ribs, doing the sa treatnt as she did before.
"It's done," she mumbled as she removed her hand from my ribs and passed another pack of liquid substance.
I drank it whole, wondering how it even tasted.
"Anyway, get so rest here before you go to training," she said before standing up and walking out of the clinic room.
"Sigh..."
With another sigh, I lay down on the bed, gazing at the ceiling.
"Wait a damn minute," I mumbled as I noticed sothing.
That I have been calling Azariah as myself...
Fuck..."
I quickly thought about the status screen as it materialized in front of .

============================
"....."
I stared blankly at my status screen as the numbers behind my na and Azariah's na started to make sense.
"Hahaha."
A hollow and dry laugh escaped my cracked, dried lips as I looked at the numbers.
"65 and 35." I mumbled those numbers as I let out another tired sigh.
"Looks like I will have to fight for my own existence," I mumbled as I again stared at the ceiling.
For fuck's sake, why is my life so ssed up?
But again, my gaze returned to the screen as I looked at my blessing.
"Amun-Ra's Blessing" I mumbled it's na out loud for no reason.
A blessing so powerful and unique that there is nothing in this world like it.
A blessing that can, in theory, let fight for an infinite amount of ti.
But even after having this much powerful blessing, I can't even use it's [First From] properly...
============================
Passive Status: Mana Exhaustion/Sickly/Weakened.
============================
"Mana exhaustion." I mumbled with a weary smile.
What's the point of having this powerful bloodline when you can't even use mana properly?
"Truly, what a fucked-up body I have possessed," I mumbled with a self-loathing chuckle as I looked at the ceiling.
Hah... I just love to watch the ceiling and not do anything...
Baam!
As I was silently gazing at the ceiling, a maid opened the door with a tense look on her face.
"You better have a good reason for disturbing , otherwise, be prepared to be executed." And before I knew it, I snapped at her and said sothing that I didn't understand why I did.
"I-I am s-sorry, young master, but it's important." She quickly got on her knees as she started begging.
"What happened?" I asked, ignoring her pleas.
"It's an order from my lady," she replied, still bowing down.
"Speak," I spoke harshly, still not accepting her apology.
"An ergency Summit has been called from the church," she replied, her head hung low.
But I felt like my blood froze in my body as I heard her.
"What?"
