...Hisssssss...

...Hisssssss...

...Hisss-Thud!...

Ahhhhhhhh!

F*ck!

Awakening to an intense agony, Osas had his senses assaulted by a searing pain that left him gasping for breath. He reached out into the darkness that shrouded his vision. Which lead his hands to encounter something long, slithery, and scaly, sending a jolt of fear to his heart. With a surge of instinctual panic, he seized hold of the creature, his fingers closing around its writhing form in a desperate bid to alleviate the searing pain that came from his legs.

As the creature sank its fangs into his flesh with a strong grip, Osas gritted his teeth, his mind racing with fear and uncertainty. Summoning every ounce of strength he possessed, he yanked the creature free.

With a sense of grim determination, Osas swung the limp creature like a pendulum in the darkness. Each swing echoed with a thud sound, and as the creature fell motionless at his feet.

...Huff!...Huff!...Huff!...

...Judging by the shape and texture of the creature, it felt like a snake...

...I don't know if it is venoumous or not but It's better to be safe than sorry...

With that thought, he turned his attention back to his leg that felt like it would fall off soon and quickly pressed his hands right above the place where the pain is most concentrated with the maximum force he could muster in hopes of slowing down the transportation of the venom.

A sharp pain assualted his senses causing him to let out a small,muffled groan. After quiet some time has passes unbeknownst to Osas, he tore the gray cloth and wrapped it around his wound as tight as possible whiel enduring the pain. With the pain subsiding a few seconds later, he got up to look around but much to his expectations he could not see anything. It was complete darkness due to the absence of a light source. He had no other choice but to explore his surroundings vvia his sense of touch to get an idea of his situation.

With the reminder that there was something else in the vicinity with him, he prepared himself to attack it with everything he's got the moment he discovers it as he moved around cautiously. About five to six steps later, Osas felt something touching his foot as he tried to take his seventh step. he immediately stepped on it as hard as he could and locked his foot in that position as he kneeled and started punching it with the maximum amount of strength he could muster.

...Huff!...Huff!...Huff!...

...Is it dead?

As Osas catched his breath with his foot still firmly pressed down in that position, he reached his hands out and touched something long, slithery, and scaly. The same thing he felt before and concluded that it was the sanke form before, he touched around and figured out where his head was-facing east of him.

I should check if it is actually dead

I once saw in a documentary that a snake's heart is located near its head...

Letting out a sigh of relief after confirming that the snake is indeed dead, he began questioning something.

How did it actually die though? There is no way my punches killed it...

...Maybe it died from the impact when I yanked it out of my leg?

As soon as he finished that thought, Osas heard a loud creaking sound behind him as he turned his head,only for light to enter his eyes leaving him dazzled for a second. As he came back to his senses, he sprinted towwards the direction of the light source with the snake still in his right hand.

Before he could reach the light, he heard a thud sound like metal falling on the ground and the light vanished right before his eyes leaving him with the silhouette of a hand he saw for a brief moment.

Damn it!

What was that!?

I think I saw the silhouette of a hand? before the light vanished. It should be around here somewhere...

As he started searching with his sense of touch in the dark frantically with his hands, the back of his hand brushed against the metal object and began to make out the shape of it.

It's a plate! and judging by the texture,shape and size of the thing inside it, it should be rice!

I'm being fed? By who? why? Should I eat it? It might be poisoned...

As such questions took over his mind, Osas was filled with curiosity and fear, but his hunger overpowered his other emotions prompting him to eat the rice as fast as possible. So he did, after placing the dead snake next to him within arm's reach.

The rice is not enough...

...Well there isn't much I can do right now. Although I am completely clueless, I should focus on what to do instead of being scared. I should first get a sense of my surroundings.

with that thought, Osas stood up after retrieving the dead snake and started walking close to the wall, feeling its texture and height as he made one full round using the metal plate as his reference point.

The walls have a rocky texture and the ceiling is high, as even after jumping I couldn't reach the top or maybe I am just short. There seems to be no cracks where air or wind is coming through other than the place where the light came from. Which is probably a door. I tried touching the door to see if anything happens, but there is nothing attached to it whatsoever. there isn't even a handle and the door is made of metal. It seems there is no way out. Is this gonna be life now? Is this how it ends? rotting beind a metal door in an unknown place!? I haven't even touched a girl yet! Let alone losing my virginity!

As Osas was despairing over his situation, he suddenly felt sleepy and blacked out unable to resist the urge with the metal plate on his right hand while the dead snake was on his left.
