Quinn ran out of steam. He couldn't tunnel anymore with the energy he's got.

'This system BS is about to be over, this turd about to die finally... wait how am I gonna get out of here. 

Quinn inwardly facepalmed. Surely there was a way out without this oversized turd. But no matter what way he looked at it. Quinn needed this beast. The beast he just infected with a makeshift wannabe tape worm virus.

'aww shit. I need to stop this'

Quinn was royally F-ked. Now trapped in a massive corpse(still living) full of man eating parasites he himself created.

In fear of getting eaten himself Quinn frantically made a dash toward the outside of the body. When he hit the skin. He was even more trapped then he thought

[106,456 Entities to go ~ 5 secs ]

He only has one Fang. His other fangs were still growing back from donating material between the parasites and recovering from the way down here. 

[3 secs]

'I can't stop, I need to get out of this stupid place'

Quinn sunk his one fang into the skin using [Dig] as the force behind his strike

[2 secs]

He flailed about widening the hole he made with his initial strike

[1 secs]

'I'm not gonna make it I'm seriously not gonna make it.' 

He wiggled and giggled but atlas to no avail. the hole wasn't big enough

[0 secs]

Quinn froze. He didn't have time to run from immediate danger. He started sensing the tremors of parasites sensing some struggling prey.

[Update initialising...]

'Wait I can still move' Quinn ignited his second wind. Energy he never knew he had riggling and wiggling through the barely big enough hole. But he was too late. A parasite was too close and bared his fangs at Quinn's tail.

Just as the copper fangs were about to strike Quinn's blood burst out of his tail. Quinn split in half and barely managed to escape the fangs of the next parasite as he left the Giant to it's own destruction. Like on queue his consciousness started to fade as he dug further and further away from the giant worm.

Finn was paralyzed with fatigue. He wanted to continue but the constant stimuli started to overwhelm Finn. Not only did his body give out, his mind did as well. Despite being surrounded by pleasure and energy, Finn lost all motivation. What's the point of eating it now when it'll forever be here.

Finn was now numb to the pleasure of the leaf. Now numb to the pleasures of life. And in his numbness, he found pain. Not from any source, just from his very being.

He knew that he'd probably rot away in this place for the rest of his life.

'Where am I? What happened? Parasites!! ... I got out. I'm alive yes I'm f-king alive'

Quinn awoke in joy despite being in the cold wet underground where it was slightly hard to breathe. He was grateful to being alive. So grateful he didn't even notice the system windows pop up in his mind.

'I almost died... I... F-k you death. Death you're my bitch'- Quinn wriggled in excitement.

'Wow, I don't even know how to take it all in... Inadequate?!?? Like hell I attainted [???] on my own merit... BS, it's all BS. What are chronicles anyway?'

Knowing Quinn wouldn't get any answers he decided to become aware of his situation. He was underground on the water table with no way out.

He was trapped.

And the Giant worm was still alive.
