There's Something Strange About My Water Magic ~ Before I Knew It, I Was a Slum Orphan Thrown Into the Trash Bin ~ - Episode 1: Painful Awakening

Episode 1: Painful Awakening

Ughhh… gughguhhh… my head hurts like it’s going to split open.

Even when I hold it with both hands, the pain doesn’t go away.

I have to grit my teeth and endure it.

Hn? Why do I have to endure it?

I suddenly realized.

It stinks! What is this place!!

Something slimy and rotten is clinging to my body. It was sticky and gooey.

Where is this place…?

Who am I…?

When I held my aching head with both hands and looked up, I could see the dark sky through the gaps of rotten wooden planks.

I tried to slowly stand up. But I crouched back down from the pain in my legs and waist.

I tried to endure the rotten smell that made me want to vomit. But it was impossible.

What came out of my mouth was sour liquid.

Now that I think about it, I seem to be hungry too.

Anyway, I want to get out of this place!

Clenching my molars tightly, I endured the pain in my legs, waist, and head as I stood up and tried to lift the wooden planks. But both my arms and hands were full of wounds and hurt too much to put in any strength.

Unable to bear the pain, I crouched down again. But since I forced myself to stand earlier, now my waist and knees hurt unbearably.

It feels like I was beaten senseless with something hard like a stick.

Some of my bones might even be broken.

Holding my aching head, I muttered without thinking:

“Why am I in a place like this? Who in the world am I?”

Without knowing anything, I sat down on the spot, holding my throbbing head.
