Vlad clenched his teeth, his body squirming from the intense burning sensation. He felt as though he were being boiled alive.
Air bubbles escaped his mouth as he screamed. The golden liquid poured into his mouth, immediately searing his vocal cords and the insides of his mouth.
It was becoming increasingly difficult for him to maintain his position. He wanted to get out of the liquid that very instant, but sheer stubbornness kept him in place.

He wondered if it was truly the right decision to bathe in this lava-like liquid. But since he hadn't received any warning from the system, he decided to push through.
After a few minutes of sheer agony, he finally felt something different from the burning sensation.
