"Hah…I…can't take any more." Eva pleaded in a ragged voice, sweat dripping from her body to the ground, her limbs visibly trembling under Grace's calm gaze.
"Dear, I'm doing this for your own good. The suits will soon be ready, and you'll be going to the surface in a month," Grace muttered softly as she channelled energy into Eva's exhausted body.
"Alright. Now sit. It's time for you to absorb the monster core," Grace said firmly, refusing to take no for an answer.
Eva sighed, wondering when the pampered daughter script had changed to a getting-stronger script.
She wasn't cut out for this; she wanted her easy life of eating and sleeping back.
Although she complained, she sat up straight and picked up a pearl-sized monster core, slipping it into her mouth.
As soon as it touched her saliva, it melted and flowed smoothly down her throat.
A few minutes went by, and her body started to burn up.
