I woke up the next morning and my head my felt great but my chest and stomach felt like someone was poring acid on them. Anna sees me and gives me a glass of water. I drink it and choke.

*cough *cough

“codex what the hell is going on why am i in so much pain?”

“I’m doing some “renovations” to your body. If you eat you will probably feel better.”

“What do you mean “renovations?!?!?”

“i won't tell you till you eat.”

i sit up and my whole upper body feels like its on fire or in a pit of lava. I fall right back down and the pain is a lot less. Anna sees me and asks worriedly

“are you okay?”

“ya I’m okay. Just in a little bit of pain. Hey can you bring some food up to me?”

“yes Charles.”

for some reason she says it with a smile. She comes back with a plate and fork she outs them on my lap. She then sits beside me and when i am about to lean up

“no I’m going to feed you! I'm playing nurse and your my patient!”

resigned to this fate isn't to bad so i rest my head down and wait. She feeds me my breakfast slowly and patiently taking her time and only giving me small bites. When i finish I’m quite thirsty so i ask her

“can i have some more water?”

she runs out of the room quickly. I then ask Codex

“what have you done to me?”

“Nothing in life is promised except death.”

“not in the mood. What am i now?”

“your still human. During the last fight i felt you and your enemies all had a easy weak point. Also i decided to make your body better at using resources. I also repaired all the Damage from your concussion. I wanted you to eat first so that i could continue. You might want to eat again in 5 minutes.”

“okay thanks for patching me up but stop giving the vague answers what have you done to me?”

“I made it so you don't need to go to the bathroom. During that time your to vulnerable you can't properly handle your weapons with your staff flinging about. I made it so your body recycles water. You do however require more food then the average person. Also you know have 2 hearts as i felt that it was to easy a point to easily kill you.”

“so your telling me if i get stabbed in the heart ill live, i can live a longer amount of time without water making dying of thirst less likely and that you just saved me 3 years from being on the toilet?”

“yup”

“you just saved me a sh*t load of time and i approve codex i just have one question.”

“and that is?”

“why the F*CK is it so painful?”

“Life is hard. Then you die. Then they throw dirt in your face. Then the worms eat you. Be grateful it happens in that order.”

“ignoring my question. are you hiding something?”

“nope.”

“don't lie”

“its painful because I’m splitting your heart in half and rerouting your stomach. Also i have decided for you to have to go to the bathroom room one more time. It may be painful.”

“why would it be painful?”

“your going to sh*t out your bladder”

“I’m going to shit out my d*ck?”

“no your bladder is going to be removed out of your body by going to the bathroom and now that you mention it you don't need you appendix either. You can sh*t that out to.”

That’s when Anna walks back into the room she feeds me the water slowly to make sure i don't choke. She then asks

“do you need anything else?”

“yes can i have more food?”

she leaves with a smile and grabs my plate and fork. When she returns the innkeeper comes in and asks

“are you feeding someone else?”

“no I’m hungry because i skipped dinner last night”

“hmm okay if i find out your feeding someone else ill gut you”

“you can't find what doesn't exist”

he then leaves with a grumble and Anna feeds me again. After eating Codex speaks again.

“the time is near”

i ask Anna “can you help me to the bathroom?”

“sure” she replies happily.

I put my gravity rings back on now so that i don't break anything in my painful torture. I don't want to delve into what happened *shivers * when I’m done 3 hours have passed. I get out of the bathroom and everyone is looking at me. For the first 10 minutes i had manged to avoid screaming. After that it was too much. so much pain *shivers * I go back to bed and Anna's face is as white as a ghosts she most likely heard me. I go to bed and she makes her lap my pillow. She plays with my hair, my ears and sings me a lullaby i finally fall asleep peacefully. But before i fall asleep i tell codex

“never modify my body again without my permission i would have rather used 3 years of my life on the toilet instead of that experience.”

I wake up the next day with renewed vigour and a repaired *ssh*le. I walk downstairs and eat three helpings of food. i don't even feel completely stuffed afterwards. I then go back to my room to check out my cash reward and check if i got the right amount of money. I count it all theirs 1320 gold pieces which means i got 1000 extra. I ask Anna

“do you know why their is 1320 gold pieces i here instead of 320 gold pieces?”

“yup”

“why?”

“i bet that you would win”

“with what collateral?”

“myself”

“how?”

“the man at the front asked me if i wanted to bet if you would win he said i was worth around ten old coins to the brothel and that the odds were 1 to 100 against you. I knew you would win so i agreed. He kept me in this dungeon thing for about 3 hours and then let me go.”

i go up and slap her across the face and then hug her.

“never bet yourself ever again even if its on me or if its a guaranteed win i don't care. If you do ill never talk to you and ill leave you to die by yourself”

she is crying in my arms sobbing

“sorry *sob * ill never *sob * do it again”
