Darkness slowly faded. Jisoo's fingers twitched first, then her lashes fluttered as she let out a soft, groggy sound. "…mmh…"
Her body felt… strange. Not painful anymore—but heavy. Like she had been sleeping for way too long.
She slowly opened her eyes, blinking at the unfamiliar ceiling above her. The soft fur blanket still covered her, warm and comforting, and the faint scent of herbs lingered in the air.
"…Where… am I again…?" she mumbled, her voice hoarse.
She pushed herself up slightly, wincing—not from pain this time, but from stiffness. "Why does my body feel like I got run over by ten trucks…?"
Her mind tried to piece things together. Forest… pain… system… cursing…
Then"…OH." Her eyes widened. "That stupid system!" she snapped weakly, immediately checking her body. The intense pain from before was gone, replaced by a dull soreness.
"…Wait," she frowned. "Why do I feel like I've been asleep forever…?" Just then, the system pinged.
