"Haah... haah... haah..."
Ash, whose physical body had recovered but was mentally and spiritually extremely broken, panted heavily like a crazed beast. He bit down hard on the gag ball in his mouth, so hard that it started making creaking sounds. He then struggled fiercely, trying to break free from the chains. Sadly, he wasn't strong enough yet, and because they were glued to his arms and legs, he couldn't even try to pull them free with great force without caring about injuring himself.
After a few minutes of his relentless but futile struggle, he finally calmed down. Hunger and thirst took over again, and he fell silent. After all, although the System had restored his body to peak condition, it couldn't fill his stomach, right?
