The room was dark, very dark. Arnold made sure his eyes were open, they were. Yet he couldn't see his only remaining hand, even though it was literally an inch from his face. No, he wasn't locked up in a cell. He sat comfortably on his bedroom floor.
"This is annoying." He mumbled, "So very much annoying."
Blood trickled out of his mouth. His knuckles might've had turned red from all the punches he threw at himself. He couldn't confirm his injuries because he had switched off the lights. But he knew he was hurt.
Yet he couldn't feel a thing. No pain, no wetness from the sweat on his forehead or the blood from his mouth... Nothing. It was as if he was living in an empty world... A world of nothingness.
"I could literally bleed out in battle or get attacked in my sleep and I wouldn't know a thing." He finally got up to switch the lights on, "Oh I'm injured alright. Can't feel shit though."
Arnold thought as being in dark tends to improve a human's other senses, he could just try and see if he really could feel anything. Sadly, he couldn't. No matter what he did to himself, he couldn't feel anything. He broke a finger, ruthlessly punched himself but couldn't feel a thing. And it frustrated him like never before.
What he thought to be a blessing, turned out to be a curse (as usual). And he only realised it after nearly choking Devon to death.
Back when he lifted Devon by his neck, he couldn't get a feeling like he was grabbing something. So he tightened his grip more and more. Almost to the point where Devon's eyeballs were ready to pop out of their sockets. It scared him. He thought he had lost the sense of pain when in reality he had lost the sense of touch. It was troublesome and annoying, to say the least.
"I have to do something about it... Damn it. Can't a single thing go in my favour for once?"
He went ahead to wash his face, the water must have been cold, but he for one, didn't know if it was. That was the final straw. He had made up his mind. The system store must have something to cure him. He quickly opened the shop and went through it all. From potions and accessories to knowledge. But he couldn't find a thing, until, system-sama came to the rescue.
'Yeah. Actually anything!'
'... Okay, I totally deserved that. But don't you have anything to give my sensory abilities back to me?'
'I looked through the shop but couldn't find anything useful.'
'There is a search function!?'
'... Quite a few.'
'...'
'...'
'Okay, drama king, enough chit chat. You gonna tell me where I can find this search feature?'
'Thank you for your help.'
'Just get lost already, you fcking lazy roasting bastardized son-'
