'Mmm....' (Gallant)
Whoosh...whoosh...!*
..

Clank!*
'Ugh damn...!!!' (Gallant)
I opened my eyes at the sudden pain I had just experienced in full alert and semi-subconsciously focused my senses into my surroundings....
Well...I tried to anyways
'!!!!!!??' (Gallant)
I panicked in an instant....why...?
Well for one my current state isn't really all that good, with the exhaustion I had gotten from all my running and battling the goblin really took a lot out of me, my injuries and hunger aren't really giving a positive impact on my mind at all which negatively hampered my ability to clearly 'see' my surroundings
Whoosh...whoosh....!*
However that isn't the main reason for my panic unfortunately, the real reason gir that is b-because...I.I'm....
'FALLING!...!' (Gallant)
My panic got worse as I suddenly started randomly flinging my still injured body around as I sceamed like I have never done before since my reincarnation

Whoosh..!*
Whoosh...whoosh...!*
Cough*
After calming down and getting a better grasp of my nerves I stopped randomly flinging my body around and began to reorient myself as best as I can
'Ugh!..damn this fu*king hurts!...' (Gallant)
And now that I'm sober enough, I noticed that I had gained a few new light bruises different from the ones I got from the goblin or the burns from the sun that had still remained, but I ignored those as I sensed that a couple of my old wounds that had somewhat closed up had been reopened for some reason, as blood slowly started seeping out of said wounds, and that is especially so for my left arm
'Damn when I sensed that unstable clearing, falling into an endless abyss in even more injuries than before I fell in wasn't really my part of my plan.' (Gallant)
I thought, but at that moment I really felt like I was going to die and turn into ash so I really had no choice but to do what I did
And if you are wondering how I found the clearing to be unstable...well it's because of my {Enhanced Senses} skill which allows me to sense specific things if focus on them which only reaches 5 metres into my surroundings in a spherical shape...including underground
I haven't really been focusing on the ground all that much to be honest, with all the inscribed metal in the dungeon and wagon, packed soil and stone in the forest I've had the pleasure of standing on I haven't really had a reason to do so admittedly, but at the last moment when I bowed my senses in resignation I felt that the ground I had fallen in was just a bit hollow and unstable which I took advantage of by banging it and prompting it to fall
Which now that I thick about it was a pretty reckless but needed move if I had to be honest...
Whoosh...whoosh...!*
Whew*
'I can think about that later...as of right now I have deal with me falling but....how do I do that?' (Gallant)
Whoosh....!*
The first thing I should do is try and get a read on my surroundings, even though it's hard to do so with my senses struggling to even process anything with me falling who knows how fast...
Fush*
I tried to concentrate on my senses on a much deeper level than I usually do, which was difficult as my body was constantly falling which was pretty distracting but I tried again and again
'Come..on...focus...' (Gallant)
After who knows how long I was able to slightly sense my surroundings if only just barely but it was enough
What was around me were dozens of....chains of all in oddly different sizes were all randomly spread everywhere connected to walls that were too far for me to sense like a spiders web
'What...are those...?' (Gallant)
I thought in puzzlement as I noticed something weird were tangled into some of the chains
As I focused more extensively at the fast passing things on the chains, I noticed to my horror that all those things had something in common, they...were....
'Skeltons..!!' (Gallant)
Yes, all the chains I passed skeletons of both monsters and humanoids alike were either held up by a single chain or were tangled by multiple chains and from the state the skeletons appeared to be in, their landing on said chains wasn't good as from what I can sense the chains pierced through the hanging skeletons as if the chains tried to cut through their very bones
Whoosh.. whoosh....!!*
Clank!*
My right shoulder slightly banged against one of the chains causing my body to suddenly disoriente in an uncontrollable spin
Clank!*
Ding!
{HP : 12 / 5} > {HP : 12 / 4}
My body slightly slammed into another chain again which shaved of a bit of my somewhat healed up HP, which was kind of weird that I even gain any at all, prompting me to assume that the chains had only began to appear now
'Ugh!...that explains the 'small' pain I received a moment ago. If I don't find a way to stop falling I could end up like those skeletons.' (Gallant)
Easier said than done, and worse though hard to be sure, it seemed as if more chains began to appear the further I fall
Clank!*
'Ugh!...what can I do, what can I do, what can I do....' (Gallant)
In a few moments I thought about an obviously risky but very likely plan that could help me out right now
'Should I do it...?' (Gallant)
I thought as I quickly focused my senses on trying to find a way out of here
.....
....
..
.
But....
Clank!*
Clank!*
It was getting harder to sense anything with my body getting flung around with evey slight hit against the chains which would soon have the 'slight' taken of every slam causing actual damage instead of mere bruises
And there wasn't any of the supposed walls as they seemed to be way to far for my senses to pick out
"Dam-" (Gallant)
Clank!*
'!!!' (Gallant)
My left arm got hit pretty badly by one of the chains causing unimaginable pain to rush into my brain with more blood leaking out of my arm
Ding!
{HP : 12 / 4} > {HP : 12 / 3}
Whoosh!*
'Ahh!...ugh...damn it...should I really do it?!' (Gallant)
I thought panicking a bit, as I hesitated a bit at deciding to go through with the plan which was kind of weird considering that I willingly let my left arm get bitten by a goblin just to win that battle, but at that time I wasn't really in my right mind...
'Ugh...damn...I shouldn't second guess this and just go through with it.' (Gallant)
I thought, in determination and forcefully tried to somewhat reoriented my body
Fush*
I focused my senses on one of the lower chains that I was falling towards and crossed my arms with my left arm about to take the brunt of the damage
Clank! Crack!*
Ding!
{HP : 12 / 3} > {HP : 12 / 2}
My HP dropped as I felt pain run through my chewed, burned and battered left arm but I forcefully pushed threw the pain as my goal had been achieved
'I...s-slowed down.' (Gallant)
Well not for long, but it was long enough for me to grab onto that very same chain with my not so battered right hand
Grab*
Cling...cling!*
'Ugh...hold on...' (Gallant)
I thought as I tighted my grip as my body started dangling on the chain I had just grabbed
Cling..Cling!*
Cling.
....
...
..
.
Whew!*
I sighed in relief as I stopped falling
'Huff...ha...Huff...damn I...d-did it.' (Gallant)
..
.
After a few seconds I then tried to find a way out with my senses finally not struggling as they did before and the first thing I noticed was a corpse of a tiger looking monster hanging by its fangs as its jaws was brutally dislocated on the same chain I grabbed
'Huh...must have fallen in here pretty recently like I did.' (Gallant)
I ignored the corpse and began sensing my surroundings but still there was nothing there except for the chains and corpses
'Is there really nothing.' (Gallant)
I thought in panic as I can't really hold on forever and with my busted left arm I can't really move around on the chain
Shing!*
'Huh?' (Gallant)
I thought in confusion as I felt a bit dizzy all of a sudden
'Wha-' (Gallant)
Clang!*
Before I could even process the reason for this, my body was lowered a bit for reasons I don't know
'What?' (Gallant)
I panicked as I focused my senses on trying to find the reason
'!!!' (Gallant)
And I found it instantly, with my sense of touch actually...the reason was that the chain I was holding onto was...w-was...
'Shrinking!!' (Gallant)
Yes it was shrinking in size every second that passed
Clang!*
The chain got lower again...
'Damn it...why?' (Gallant)
I thought as I focused on the chain I was currently holding trying to get Its description as a shrinking chain isn't really normal, a few seconds later...
