If death had a liquid state, it would be cola.
Drowning in water, at least you can see your surroundings, helping you know where is up or down. If it's at night, maybe that is close to the experience he is having right now. Close.
Quass gave up on swimming, as funny as it's for a Poseidon city man; he doesn't know how to swim. While sinking, his panicked hands tried to remove and throw away the tiny persistent fishes attacking him. But they didn't leave him alone.
Yes, that's how death would like to drown someone. First you thrown then on a cola ocean, lake or whatever this black water is. Then you augment the lungs capacity of your victim. With this they would have time to be sorry for all they did wrong and pray for all gods existent. Sending a big shark would be too fast, so why not send little loud fishes to slowly eat―
Quass feet stopped. Delayed by the weird water, the rest of his body followed a second later.
It seems that after long minutes of going down, he finally found the ground. Quass almost breathed out, but he was still under cola.
In complete darkness, it's nearly impossible to find the portal back to his home.

His oxygen seems to be enduring way more than normal, probably thanks to the Cola Trial, but it isn't infinite.
The tiny fishes actually aren't a problem for now, Quass suddenly realized as he almost forgot they where there. Honestly, because of the darkness, he doesn't even know if they were really fishes. He could only feel this... bothering vibration in tiny spots of his skin, and as if it were alive, they came back a little bit after he ran his hand over it. Thankfully they don't are on his eyes, and if they where on his clothes he couldn't feel it.
The only way he's managing to walk is with little jumps or slowly dragging himself on the ground, which seems to be more soft than he imagined.
Without knowing where to go or what to do, he summoned the Profile again. A floating screen appeared in the darkness
After reading, pure cold invaded Quass body.
Name: Quass
Ancestral: The Ocean Pharaoh
God: Cola [Trial]
Rank: No one
Fame: 1
His fame increased from 0 to 1.
The rank "No one" fits him well. Back in Bludos City, no fisherman or pyramid worker knew about his existence. Even his neighbors didn't know that a lone 24 years old young man lived beside their houses. He wasn't timid or even extremely introverted, he's just... cursed. Quass painfully get used with the zero on his Profile.
His fame changing to 1 has a terrifying meaning. In this dark black cola, someone is looking at him.
