The moment [Human Stasis Spell] hit him, Tang Qi felt that his life might be coming to an end.
Dying at the hands of a hag gathering was rather frustrating. He still yearned for a more legendary, more exciting life.
But he could hardly say he regretted it. This was the choice he had made from the very beginning.
He had even thought through how he would end up—
As a soul inside the [Mind Shield Ring], imprisoned forever, with no freedom left to speak of.
Until one day, a new adventurer defeated the hags, claimed their treasure, and discovered the ring and the soul stored within it.
Perhaps that adventurer would ask why he remained inside the ring.
Then perhaps he would explain what being immobilized felt like—
*["Immobilized" isn't "stunned."*
So when a stasis spell holds you, you can actually perceive everything happening around you. Even the wind brushing your ears becomes unusually clear.
That inevitably makes you worry—
You worry whether your teammates will fall apart without your leadership.
You worry whether your adventure is about to end here.
You worry whether someone has designs on your hook, and whether these old, ugly hags will strip off your trousers...
That's a perfectly normal reaction, right?
After all, if I were the one casting a stasis spell, it would be hard not to entertain certain depraved thoughts—
That's a living person who can clearly feel your presence.
I suggest that anyone out there alone who gets hit by a stasis spell from some evil spellcaster with ulterior motives should stop resisting and try to enjoy that minute.
Maybe you'll fall in love with the feeling and enjoy more than just one minute.
Because you really can't do anything. Getting hurt is inevitable—
Unless, like me, you aren't alone.
