Although Damien Valerius had been in a coma, his will to live had always been strong.
Throughout the coma, he had been fighting a constant battle against the viral cells inside his body.
But the viral cells were too powerful. His body had no way to fight back.
Gradually, he began to lose the fight. One by one, his organs started to fall, conquered by the virus.
He could feel it with stark clarity—he was dying. So this was what it felt like to be on the brink of death.
Just as his will to live began to fade and he started to give up the fight, his body suddenly stirred. Something seemed to have entered him. The old sensation of two forces warring within his body returned, growing stronger and stronger.
Damien could clearly sense a powerful, resistant energy rapidly flooding his entire body, fighting back against the viral cells that had been swelling and rampaging within him.
The sensation was strange yet incredibly real—so real that a surge of vitality coursed through him.
