[Ace POV],
I did my best not to scream as I fought my body's instinctive reaction to the pain I was currently experiencing, as a stream of new knowledge related to alchemy kept getting inserted into my head by something I had no idea of but figured it should be related to the primordial chronicle.
This continued for what felt like centuries to me as my body continued to shake violently on the cold floor of the basement as various changes continued to occur in me.
I'm not sure how long it took, but gradually the knowledge that had been flooding into my mind before suddenly stopping as well as the changes I had felt just a few seconds earlier were waning.
I remained on the floor even after everything stopped changing and the pain stopped because I was too exhausted to even lift a finger after what I had just gone through.
