Roughly forty minutes ago...
Zaen was going insane with pain and unprocessed anger. It was a never-ending cycle. The more he felt the pain, the angrier he got. He could feel his insides churning as if they wanted to pop out of his skin. It looked like the artifact wasn't lying when it said Zaen was going to feel like a ghoul for the next hour. It had just been 20 minutes and he was already on the verge of losing his crap.
It was getting more and more difficult to keep his mind clear with every passing minute. It hadn't been long since his 'punishment' started, and he already felt like sh*t. His body temperature had shot up to 105℉ and he was itching all over. His back was covered in reddish blisters, similar to those he had seen on the ghouls.
