Beep... Beep... Beep....

'My head... Oh god it hurts...' I thought while trying to move my hand up to it

After a couple of seconds of trying I stop trying because I couldn't move my arms and hands. Instead I started focusing on opening my eyes instead. I was able to get one open but the other just stayed close.

Looking around I saw that I was in a blank white room with what appeared to be a lot of modern medical equipment from earth. I was in a hospital bed with lots of my body wrapped up and covered in stuff. In a corner was Chris sitting down in a chair looking at some paperwork that he appeared to be working on. He noticed me staring at him after a minute or so.

”Eric, you're awake!” He said putting his work on the floor and dragging his chair over to my bed, ”So first of all, congratulations. You beat that weird demonic elf thing. Second of all, What you did was so idiotic. Merging and overpowering a demon who literally uses soul magic is one of the most idiotic things possible!”

Attempting to speak all I was able to do was create some noise with no coherent meaning.

Well what is happening is that your soul was so heavily damaged and ruined that even though it's immortal, it will require a lot of time to fix. So I removed your soul from the Black Clover world and brought it to the Hub while leaving your body back there. This means that right now, you're just a soul.”

”Mmmhhm mhmhm hmmhmhm.” I said causing me a great amount of pain

”Still confused? Well since you attempted to merge with a devil elf it means that a part of your soul became mortal and could be affected by injuries and stuff like that. I removed that part of her that you merged with but your soul has to heal slowly with no magic helping it as if it heals using magic, then it won't heal properly and affect you in the future.”

”Mmmm Hmmm. Mmmhmhm.”

What I attempted to say was, ”Well shit. Sorry.”

”At least you won though. I used my powers to intervene as much as possible but couldn't do much. If your plan worked she would've taken over your immortal soul and you would no long exist as it would then be her.”
