There were still 40s remaining time till Purple God Eyes ended.
But he deactivated it since tons of notifications were popping up that his fatigue was increasing.'Purple God Eyes deactivate'

[Ding Ding! Stats returning to normal]
[Ding Ding! Purple God Eyes in cooldown. Estimated Cooldown Time: 2:59:46]
He felt tired. He wanted to see his stats but his mind was bothered by the fact that his mother was said to be gravely injured.
He tiredly walked over to the counter and said, "Reyna Salazar".
The woman's face changed as she got up and directly led Shin to his mother's room. They arrived at her room.
His eyes laid on a woman who looked to be about 45 years old. She had jet black hair, a good body and she was beautiful.
Her face was covered with a mask that gave her oxygen.
"Mama..." Shin anxiously said as he kneeled beside her bed.
He looked at her mother's face and noticed that she looked so old. Only three years have passed. She should be 38 years old but why does she look 7 years older?
"Ma!!" Shin cried as he reached out for her mother's hand.
But his face gradually worsened when he noticed that his mother didn't have a left arm! His mother, the one who raised him and his little brother. The one who loved him so much was now in a critical condition!
"MAA!!!!" Shin cried out loud.
"Why!? What happened!! Tell me! Who did this!?" Shin yelled out to the doctor.
"Calm down sir." The doctor said.
"Calm down!? How the f*ck am I supposed to calm down when my mother is in a f*cking critical condition!?"
The voice of that woman who called him echoed about the room.
"She was on a raid when she was attacked by demon beasts. They were a group of 10. They were clearing a B rank dungeon when they were surrounded by demon beasts. She was fortunate to have survived since only your mother and her party member survived. 2 out of 10 survived."
"Her condition is in a critical state. It is expected that she will fall into a coma and it is unknown when she will wake up."
Shin's anger gradually lessened as he heard the story. It was replaced with sadness. Endless sadness.
He looked at his mother with sorrowful eyes.
The doctor heaved a sigh of relief when he noticed that Shin calmed down. But there was also a hint of pity in his eyes.
"Shin... Right? I am a colleague of your mother. Can I talk to you for a bit?" The woman said. The whole time, Shin was staring at his mother. Shin looked at the lady with his glowing orange eyes.
'Orange eyes!' the woman thought.
"I'll wait for you outside." The woman said as she and the doctor left the room.
"Mother..."
"I'm sorry." Shin started to sob.
"This child is unfilial!"
"I have neglected my duties as a son and slept for almost three years! Now that I'm awake, you're the one who's asleep!" Shin said while crying.
He looked at her mother's left shoulder and his sadness deepened even more.
"I love you ma. Don't worry. I will take care of Shaun very well. I will perform my duty as a brother to him with utmost care." Shin said.
"I swear ma. That you will wake up and I will become strong enough to protect this family. You will never have to step foot into a dungeon in your entire life! I promise this to you ma! So please, keep fighting!" Shin said with conviction and determination.
He was grieving, yes! But no matter what, he realized that he was useless if he cried even more! The shocking news after news woke him up! The time that he left his family was hell for them! He just slept the whole time while his mother fought for their survival! His mother and little brother had to endure the pain that they felt when his father left them. The two of them. Judging from Shaun's actions, he was forced to grow up! He was only 13! But he acted like an adult! But all these time, he, Shin, was sleeping!
Now wasn't the time to grieve! Now was the time to be a filial son and fulfill his role as an older brother.
