"Aargh!!"
My eyes shot open with a searing pain tearing through my head, like something was trying to split it open. It felt like my head as going to burst, and phantom pain spread through my jaw and ribs.
I trashed against the ground, grabbing my head in both hands while I slowly managed to take note of my surroundings. As expected I was back in the real world— dark moist cave spreading around me and the muffled sound of the river growled from outside..
"Victor! It's okay, take it easy," I heard Arslan say as he held on to me.
I staggered as Arslan helped me up from the rough ground, feeling the pulsing headache in my head disorient my senses for a bit.
It took a few seconds before I managed to gather myself. My thoughts were all over the place that simply trying to make sense of them felt extremely tedious.
Then came the wave of nausea.
