I froze. My body stiffened for a moment, my eyes staring blankly at my chest right where the card had suddenly vanished into my body without any warning. It didn't hurt just a brief warmth, and then it was gone. But the strange sensation lingered, as if something foreign had attached itself to me from within.
I immediately used internal detection magic to examine any possible changes. No injuries, No mana displacement, No foreign energy detected. As if the card had... simply disappeared.
"Did you see that?" I asked quickly, turning to the lich who was still calmly seated, writing something in an old journal. "A card just came out of the book and went into my body."
The lich raised an eyebrow. "Card? No, I didn't see anything. You just suddenly stopped talking and stared down at yourself, then started scanning your own body. What exactly happened?"
I was about to explain when a voice I hadn't heard in a long time echoed in my mind.
