The man staggered to his feet, one hand gripping on his left side of chest, expression pained while the other gripping a nearby tree for balance.
He gasped in agony and leaned against the tree, looking up with pained eyes as they scanned the forest.
He looked over his shoulder, terrified eyes searching for any figure. When he saw none, he sighed with relief, telling himself he was safe for the time being.
Grasping whatever he could for support, one hand was still on his chest aas he pushed himself off the tree to escape the forest.
Despite his frequent stumbles, he persisted and did not take a break because he knew better than to take a chance.
He continued to walk where his faltering steps led him until, at some point, he became fatigued. His weary eyes failed to recognize the pond in front of him, and as a result, he fell directly into the chilly water.
He had no choice but to attempt to save himself despite how exhausted his body was; however, there was still a problem: he was unable to swim, so he had to attempt to call for assistance.
Somehow, he hauled himself up and cried out, "HELP!"
"is someone here!"
His body was not cooperating, making it harder for him to breathe.
Just as he lost all his hope, he noticed a figure, it was standing on the edge of the pond. The figure watched him struggle to stay upright while staring at him.
"Help me!"
"Why are you standing there doing nothing?"
The man wondered why the person was not helping him as he held his breath and felt like his body was sinking.
Did he not know how to swim, either?
His lungs burned from holding his breath for too long, and he was snapped out of his reverie.
"Help me you-
He immediately pulled his face out of the water
"Help me, you shitbag!"
The figure just stood there still, and the man eventually gave up because his body refused to struggle anymore.
However, he heard a splash before he passed out.

"Oh god, you are heartless!"
"How did you know?"
"What!?"
