After the interview, I don’t even bother taking off the dress. I just enter the dressing room and dispel my System Phantom. No doubt leaving the dress to fall to the ground as my mind reerges in my body.
That dress was hell to put on with one arm, even if it was a dress ant for being easy to slip on. One where I pretty much just slip it on over my head and call it a day.
Of course, I understand why they chose it for the job. The dress was a slip-on, so it didn’t irritate any of my injuries. Not the bones sticking out of my stomach or the missing arm.
Doesn’t an it was easy to put on in my state though.
Although it took a little while to realize that I apparently shouldn't even have bones in my stomach. So I'm guessing that's another new change to my body.
I glance at my missing arm to find what’s left having grown a little bit more since I last saw it before going to work. But not enough that it’s obvious to viewers that it’s growing back.
Not unless they look carefully and specifically zoom in on it, comparing it when it first was eaten to right now.
And that interview wasn’t live. It won’t be going on TV until tomorrow.
So I don’t think anyone will be looking or asking about it until then.
Anyway, after returning to my body, I just lie down for a few hours, staring silently up at the ceiling with my broadcast turned off. Because a certain pushy manager told to take the day off.
And I’m doing just that.
Taking half the day off.
Yes.
Half.
My arm will have healed a bit more after around half the day has passed, and I don’t plan on fighting anything during this ti. Just going to check out the cavern the shark ca from to see what happened there.
Although I should be able to fight perfectly fine even with one arm.
I did it before when my arm was infected, so I can do it now when I’m missing an arm.
He’s just not aware of my regeneration. Otherwise he wouldn’t try to make take so much ti off.
With that in mind, I go ahead and lie down staring up at the ceiling while thinking. Which gets boring really quickly. To the point that I end up giving up on that and climbing to my feet to change once more back into the sa attire I slept in.
Then I go back to sleep, planning on waking up halfway through the day.
Only to end up waking up in the evening instead.
Well, damn.
That wasn’t the plan.
After staring at the ceiling for a second again, I let out a sigh and glance down at the bones in my stomach. Finding them now to have almost entirely reentered my body again. Albeit at an angle to the point that they’re still entering. Just that they’re practically parallel with my skin now.
So the bones are still exposed even if they’re pretty much in my body again.
This story is posted elsewhere by the author. Help them out by reading the authentic version.
Guess that sleep did help so at least.
It probably sped up the healing a bit.
Anyway, I go ahead and do what stretches I can before putting on my hoodie and armor again. Then I jump down into the water below and begin slowly swimming in the direction of the massive cavern where the shark had previously called ho before so rudely barging in and making a ss of my cavern.
Ignoring the fact that this cavern used to be its ho.
I glance at the corner of my vision when the icon for the broadcast lights up, indicating the broadcast is turning on. Then I look at the chat as I carefully swim, seeing it instantly begin to fill with people.
[Wait, seriously?]
[She’s broadcasting again after all that?]
[What the hell is this woman made of to livestream the day after losing an arm?!]
[I know I’ve said that so Pioneers not livestreaming after getting so injuries are weak, but livestreaming after losing an arm…? Even I think you should take a break for that…]
Pretty much everyone is fussing at and acting all surprised about my broadcasting again already. But I don’t really care.
And besides.
“Don’t worry, I took a break,” I tell them with a nod and a lazy smile. “I had a nice nap after working this morning.”
That just makes them go off even more for so reason. So I write it off as one of those things I won’t understand no matter how hard I try.
I an, I wanted to take even less ti off. But my body said no when I was asleep.
Maybe I should see if a sponsor would get an alarm clock?
That would be nice.
As I learned early on in life, taking too many breaks can lead to a lackadaisical attitude towards your responsibilities. Regardless of whether those responsibilities are ones you chose, ones life chose for you, or ones you make to improve yourself.
If you’re gonna be lazy about sothing, do it with purpose.
That’s what the private tutor taught in high school after all. And it’s words I live by.
The best way to be lazy is to live life in a way that allows you to be lazy. Do everything you can, push through all the work, and ti will open up for you.
Probably.
Anyway, I eventually reach the massive cavern. And what I find is a rather empty place filled with corpses. Both half eaten and uneaten.
But I don’t see any living monsters.
What I do find though is a new tunnel that wasn’t there before that is now. An obviously artificial one judging by the fact it looks like the wall of the cavern was smashed inwards.
I guess that’s where the shark was hunting.
Whatever ca out of that tunnel.
After looking around for a bit and glancing out of the cavern at the tunnel leading towards the exit of the caves entirely, I move over to the artificial tunnel. But I don’t see any monsters inside of it either.
Just rubble.
Big and small, the tunnel and the surroundings of the tunnel’s opening are covered in rubble from the walls.
Lots of rocks.
I carefully enter the tunnel before moving further in. But what I end up finding is nothing like what I was expecting.
Okaaaaay then…
At the end of the actually relatively short tunnel – albeit with a bend in it – I find another cavern. But it’s not a normal cavern as it’s got a bunch of pillars all around the place with very narrow spaces in between the pillars and a very small amount of space in the cavern.
And most importantly, the place is full of eels and snakes.
I didn’t realize there were snakes down this deep in the water.
What’s worse though is that there is a bunch of rubble around everywhere, with marks on the walls, floors, and ceilings that are all similar to the tunnel. Implying that even this cavern was made by sothing.
Judging by the fact that the shark entered my cavern, it either killed whatever made these tunnels, or it was forced to flee from it.
Either way, I’m not particularly fond of the idea of finding out while down an arm.
So after glancing at the snakes and eels one last ti – finding the creatures to be in the high teens and low twenties in level – I head back to the large cavern. Then I continue all the way to my own little cavern before climbing back into my ho.
That’s all for today.
And with that, the broadcast ends as the chat is still going crazy.
I go ahead and take off my armor and strip down again before lying down on my backpack now that the broadcast is over. Then I glance at my stomach to find the wounds there having finally scabbed over and started healing with the bones inside of my body fully again. Even if they aren’t in the right position yet.
Good.
At this rate I should be able to sleep in my shirt again starting tomorrow without it hurting any stomach wounds.
I’m not particularly a fan of sleeping in my current attire after all. Not when the broadcast could theoretically start at any mont. Despite my knowing that it won’t actually start when I’m in my underwear. Even if it’s just the top with shorts on.
That doesn’t change my minor anxiety though.
Anyway, I let out a yawn before gradually falling asleep again. Feeling a lot sleepier than I usually am.
Maybe it’s because of all the regeneration I’m doing?
That might be it…
My eyes gradually droop closed before I fall asleep again for the night.
