Chapter 2 - Life as a prisoner

Hello! Giant snake-demon-human-giant-titan-monster Atlantis reporting to myself!

Today has been really fun. At morning, I saw a rat scurrying by. A couple hours later, the rat passed by me again! It even sniffed me... Although it quickly ran away. Which was kind of a shame as I liked that fellow...

Anyway, a couple hours later, I saw a bug! It was an ant to be precise, and no, it wasn't some giant ant or something, just a very, very small ant.

...

Yeah, I'm fucking bored. This is so unfair, when I read my novels, the protagonists there always fun stuff to do. I can't even move my body! Hell, I can't even stretch!

I sighed. I feel like I've been doing that a lot lately, which is depressing. My existence is depressing. That wall is depressing. These chains are depressing.

However, I did at least sort through all of my(?) memories. Atlas wasn't a million-year-old demigod after all, and his reservoir of knowledge could bring even the most sapient of sages to bow in shame.

I won't go too much into detail, but I can finally consider myself and Atlas as one entity. I didn't learn of why the human and Atlas joined, but out of that came me, so hurray!

From what I learned, the human, which is not me anymore, but still is in a way, somehow ended up coming to this universe and entered into Atlas' body, who did not even notice it because he was far too deep into depression. Depressing, isn't it? (nice pun)

Then, since the human's soul was pitifully weak but had strong consciousness, and Atlas' soul who was very powerful but with no will left, the two somehow merged to create the entity that is me.

Truth be told, even I don't know how to feel about this. It's kind of like those transgender people, but also not. I feel like Atlas on one part, but human on the other. Kind of weird, but woe is me, so fuck it. I don't even care.

If you discover this tale on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the violation.

Be it the human or Atlas, both want to get out of here, and me, the result, naturally also wants to get my giant ass outta here. No matter how much of a shut-in or introvert someone can be, there's no way they'd spend 1000 years locked up like a prisoner with nothing to do but think about sheep jumping over fences... Right?

However, it appears I am not a protagonist, since where the hell is my cheat or lucky event? I've been stuck here, after fusing mind you, for a fucking year. I've done nothing this whole time but go through my memories again and again whilst staring at a wall.

I can describe it really well now at least. It has 53829 bricks building it, 42% of them are black, 8% are grey and 50% are blue. There is a large entrance with a tunnel behind it that goes somewhere. Where? I don't know. The tunnel is around 4 meters in height and 8 meters in width. There are no other entrances to this room, and all the other walls are the same.

The room itself is gigantic. Measuring at least 250 meters in height, even I with my gigantic size could easily jump without hitting anything. The base of the room is circular, with a diameter of 300 meters.

Apart from me, the only other thing in this cursed place was the giant chains coiling tightly around me. No matter what I try, they refuse to budge. There are 100 of them in total, with 4 of them forming a collar around my neck, each of the chains attached to a different corner of the room. Then, each of my two arms had 5 rings on them, each ring with 5 chains. Finally, all the other chains coiled around my abdomen, chest and lower body. I don't know why, despite my lower body being much slimmer than my upper part, I could not slither my way out.

What's even more annoying is that these chains are intelligent. Or they seem to be, at least. If I try to move my belly, the chains will converge there and block me. If I try moving the tip of my tail, the chains will pull it back. In short, they are really fucking annoying.

I gave up hope of escaping right after digesting all my memories. Even the old me could not do it, and he had a thousand years to try. However, there is a glimmer of hope that I could hold on to.

It had never happened before, but there was a chance that a human or something with equivalent intelligent might stumble into the dungeon and reach me. Then, I could possibly beg them to help me, promise them power and other things. Things everybody wants, in short.

That said, hopefully, they won't attack me. Oh, that's not because I am scared. It would just be a shame to throw away my escape opportunity. After all, my body is still that of a serpent, even if only partially.

And what's a snake's best weapon? No, it's not intelligence, it's poison.

Well, there is really nothing I can do. Therefore I am going to wait.

And wait.

And wait.

Wait for it...

I'm bored...
