Giant Creature

(Just what kind of fantasy genre am I in right now?)

Turning his back towards the creature Mike finally moves his arms.

(AH! Fuck god damn it!)

As he expected his arms are heavy especially when he didn't move his arms that much in this pressured waters.

It's been days since he let his body move this much and the recoil of the stress that has been accumulated from his body is still there. Of course, this will be a difficult situation for his body to move even if it just his arms.

Not to mention he's in the environment where he's not familiar especially the temperature cause of the volcanoes near him.

But he didn't stop... more like he got no choice.

Extending his hand he tries to swim away.

As he is slowly gotten used to this feeling the weird substance around him lessens for him to move a little.

Even if the chance of getting away from this creature is low he still grasps hope.

He swims with all of his might... as expected from someone who survives underwater his form and posture of swimming are perfect.

As his arms are getting used to the situation he quickly extends his legs.

(Faster!)

There is no time to look back at the giant creature.

Flapping his legs from desperation and fear but still managed to hold a perfect form to swim as he goes deeper and deeper into the ocean.

Sadly, even tho he's desperate the tentacle that's pulling him is not speeding up so Mike didn't rely much on the tentacle. One of the mystery if one could say but there is no time to talk about that.

Beating the speed of the pull of the tentacle Mike leaves a small trace of tentacle from here and there but immediately retracted by the tentacle for an unknown reason.

Mike is fast no doubt but because he's fast the weird substance barrier around him is breaking quickly.

Just a minute had passed since then but the feeling of fear is still there at his back like it's not planning to leave him.

And the pressure around him is getting heavier and heavier as time goes.

But Mike did not stop.

(Faster dammit!)

[Mike!]

Extending his right arm faster than he could... his left arm bend in the opposite direction.

Imuthis's warning is too late.

(GAHH!!)

Mike loses his cool that's why makes the slightest mistake that will cost his life... holding his broken arm he knows that he can't descend further than this. Even tho the tentacle is still pulling him, it's still slow.

[Mike get a hold of yourself!]

Imuthis is helping Mike to cool down but Mike can't hear a single utter of his words.

As Mike is still gathering his thought something big bump his back.

And that thing he immediately realizes... That thing bumps him is the giant creature.

To his surprise, he makes a quick move by jumping away from the creature.

Kicking the creature's face as a foundation he makes a little distance between them.

Not that he kicks the creature away but more like, he pushes himself to get away.

Of course because of the sudden movement from his body his back cracks and twisted a little.

'A little wound will make a big disadvantage to oneself...'

(Ow!)

Sure he makes a little distance but it's still futile at the end.

The heat from volcanoes started to burning his body whole so even if he has gotten away the heat will still kill him.

Turning his body to the creature not because he gives up but he thinks of a plan.

(Base on my kick to its skin I can tell how hard this fellow is. Of course, killing it's is entirely impossible but the question is can I get away from this creature?

No, no, no... Even if I can't, I must get away so think!

Pass at his side? It might be possible if this tentacle isn't here.

Shit! Shit! Shit! This is bad my body is overheating especially my mind!)

His mind is spinning in circles at this point for finding a way to escape.

The creature is coming close as the creature's eye that size big of a billboard is in front of Mike.

Gritting his teeth he curses his luck.

Mike always welcomes death but he isn't letting it get him easily but this time might be his time.

*badump* For the first time in a while he heard his heart beating.

His life flashes back to his eyes like a videotape in a replay.

But because of his stubbornness, he ignores the video replay and just looks at what his real eyes showing.

A giant creature is about to eat him.

(If I'm gonna die I don't want those some kind of a protagonist where they gain power just by remembering the past! My past is shit anyway so what will help me from that!?)

He stirs up his last resolved. If he is gonna die why not look at it with all of his energy into it.

Imuthis is still yelling from afar but he can't properly hear it because it was overwhelming by the sound of his heartbeat.

The creature's mouth slightly opens just the size where he fit in. As he thought of that the creature starts sucking him in.

All of his vision immediately went black as he can't feel his body anymore.

This isn't his first time experiencing this kind of feeling so he has more concentration this time around.

However, he feels sleepy or more like the exhaustion finally kicks in letting him get into a deep slumber.

The feeling of pressured water around his body is still there so there's no doubt that if he loses consciousness now he will surely die.

(Oh well... So be it. I will not die! Remember that whoever eats me I'll live!)

Leaving his final message he finally shut up.
