'This is worse than I thought.' Alex thought, feeling nothing but pain.
Alex had been in pain for the last eight hours, and he only knew that because of the system voice that kept ringing in his head after every minute, which he had started after he was four hours into the cleansing process.
The first two hours were bearable as Alex felt pain, but his mind was still conscious of what was happening to his body.
After the third hour, the pain had reached such a level that Alex was losing grip on his senses, but knowing he needed to stay conscious, he didn't give in to the feeling of slumber.
After the sixth hour, Alex's eyesight was gone sending him into a world of pitch darkness and overwhelming pain, which genuinely gave him the feeling of despair.
Alex had lost control over his body and could not move, and only his mind was conscious, while the only thing he could feel was pain, but after eight hours, he had no idea which part of his body was in pain.
