"You do know this is madness," Roman said wryly, watching as Asher drew a small amount of his venom into a syringe.
"It's called mithridatism," Asher answered with sass. "A very solid backup plan." Without hesitation, he jabbed the needle into his arm and pushed the plunger.
Roman flinched as if he too felt the sting. "I might not know all your science crap, but I do know how my venom works, mister. And all I can tell you is that you're taking a huge risk here."
He watched with mounting anxiety as Asher leaned back on the bed with a groan, his breath hitching as his heartbeat began to race.
Roman's venom paralyzes upon contact, but when ingested into the body, it followed a predictable timeline:
For the first five minutes, one would experience a burning sensation, rapid heartbeat, and intense dizziness.
Then the Five to fifteen minutes, there would be violent muscle spasms, temporary blindness, and total loss of limb control.
