possibly brain damage

Either way, I trusted both of my friends to handle themselves, and so focused on my own tasks. My grandmother had called…someone, and arranged a private airship to ferry us around the city come dawn. Evidently, we had several stops to make before it was time to train.

If I’d been in better straights, I’d have probably admired the scenery as we travelled, from the architecture in the city to the grand spires, but the steadily pounding pain in my head was bringing down my mood. The Gamer’s Body caused pain to fade quickly, but the side-effects of my Clairvoyance had become a persistent and constant source of damage, such that one throbbing moment led smoothly into to the next. Nonetheless, I bore it silently, keeping constant watch over our surroundings and everything in them as my perceptions expanded in every direction. However much it hurt, I knew it wasn’t doing any permanent damage, just as I knew that I’d be able to level it up enough to make the pain stop long before my brain gave out, even if it took weeks or months.

For now, I soldiered on and just tried to ignore the occasional disruptive shifts in my vision.
