“Huff, huff... Huff... ”

I open my eyes to burning thirst.

But he couldn't feel the difference between not opening his eyes.

In such pain that he couldn't even figure out where the pain was, the man opens his eyes desperately and looks around.

But even though he was caring so much, his vision was not even a little brighter.

In such a dark darkness, the man desperately aroused himself, as if there was neither light nor light in the first place.

“Argh!”

However, as soon as the upper body was raised, the man was forced to lie down like a pinch in his head and go back.

“Ugh... Ugh... ”

Dizziness that leads directly to the feeling of leaning behind your ears.

A man can only take a rough breath without taking any action for a while, and no other action is strict.

How long has it been?

After the dizziness that had messed with his head disappeared, the man could barely raise his hand and touch his face.

The hot energy of the forehead and eyes conveyed through the back of the hand.

In contrast, the body temperature of the hands and hands from the eyeballs is only so cold.

The same man was forced to be astonished at the temperature difference so much that he would want to be right, but the cold feeling from the back of his hand fell into that strange delight that cools his forehead and eyes.

“Umm……. ”

For a while, a man who had cooled down a little by bringing boiling heat to his forehead with his hands alternated, only then began to examine his condition.

It was as if I had been strangled, my whole body was aching, but...

It's probably a sequelae of a long, unconscious collapse on the cold ground.

This time, I cautiously raised myself.

First strap one arm to the ground, then slowly raise the upper half.

“Huff……. ”

I felt like my abs were going to tear, but I succeeded in causing a malignant upper limb.

I looked around again.

However, I don't see anything either.

I looked up, but all I could see was the darkness that was hard to discern.

What the hell is this in English?

Obviously……

After a part-time job, I remember going home on an Amerindian bicycle and waiting for a signal in the four streets near my house.

Then, I paused in front of the crosswalk and opened my phone...

The people who were waiting for the signal in front of me suddenly looked at the sky and lifted their heads...

“Ugh..... ”

The man had to moan about the pain he felt at that moment.

Ah... I did.

The sky I looked up at that time...

The darkness was sitting like this.

“Phew... Phew... ”

I think about that for a second. My head gets messed up again.

The man squeezes his lips and looks for a cell phone.

“Ah... there is. ”

I hurriedly took out my phone.

Then, some of the space in which the light itself had not existed until now was revealed by the light flowing from the mobile phone.

The man who looked around with pleasure,

“Ugh!”

At the next moment, he took a deep breath without even knowing himself.

He has something to do with it...

Because where he is now, it was above the ground that he didn't even see.

“Huw… Huff……. ”

I don't even know what the height is...

Endless Abyss.

Despite relying solely on the weak light of his phone, the man had to feel the illusion that the blood that was in it had been pierced somewhere between his hands and feet.

He quickly turned his head, but his sluggish breathing rarely returned to his original state.

The man first double-checks where he is.

“This……. ”

I wonder if there's a single bed for a single person.

That little space that protruded like a lonely island in the middle of a cliff was where the man was now lying.

I checked the propagation.

However, no one is caught if the propagation is due to a cliff.

I tried to open the messenger, just in case.

This is why we cannot send a rescue request.

“Ugh... Ugh... Hey! There's no one there! ”

I gather my breath and scream with all my might.

But what is heard is only his echo that growls and returns.

The man shouts once again.

“There's someone here! Help!”

But no answer comes back this time.

What the hell happened?

This thought began to come to mind as a stallion, but the man shook his head and shuddered.

You can think of something else later.

What matters now is how we survive in this situation.

There is only one thing.

I searched my pockets.

All you have besides your phone is a piece of receipts from last night's dinner, a wallet, and a key ring with keys and clutter.

All you have in your wallet is a little cash, an ID, and a card.

There is only one keyring with a house key and a bicycle key, a locker key here, two fingers of multitool, and a toy axe-shaped ornament with the phrase "I took you."

“After……. ”

A multitool that's too small to call a jackknife, with four or five tools.

That was all he had now.

The man identified each tool in the multi-tool.

The first thing I call a knife is a disgruntled knife and a little scissor that I don't think even jeans can cut, and here's a cork crater and a little saw that shows how you want to cut a tree out of it.

Then I pushed my head up with my fingernails, and I found another toothpick and a tweezer.

“Phew……. ”

The man sighs lightly and folds the tools back into his pocket.

Still complicated in my head.

However, here I decided to take a break first.

In such a dark situation, if you move the wrong foot in the wrong direction, it is impossible to even think of the notion in this way.

If this were an accident, the rescue would surely begin, so it would be wiser to stay calm and wait for rescue than to move quickly.

“Phew... Phew... Phew... ”

I breathe deeply and try to calm my heart.

I closed my eyes.

And I asked him to sleep.

But in this situation, will the sleepers come easily?

Somewhere the cold wind blows through his body.

The man curled up.

I held my hands facing each other and opened my lips and waited for this nightmare to pass.

The man, who was not completely asleep, but who was not awake for sure, and who was curled up like a shrimp on a narrow rocky jaw in a condition that might be called a non-nightmare, suddenly blinked at the sound of an alarm.

Let's get the phone open and check it out. It was pointing to six o'clock in the morning.

However, the surroundings are still in the dark, hard to recognize.

I looked up at the sky.

However, nowhere could the foundation of the existence of light be found.

What happened?

The man became anxious, but decided to wait a little longer.

But so did I.

After an hour and two more, there was no change in the darkness that surrounded him.

Men became anxious.

Like this, we don't know this Englishman, so we die in the middle of the rocks without anyone knowing.

I'm not even aware that I'm alive here, but I'm going to die and be forgotten.

As those thoughts began to come to mind, the man began to be impatient.

And a lot of things that I've never done, that I've wanted to do, have come to mind, and things that I've done so far are starting to come to mind.

“Damn it……. ”

What to do.

But the man did not make the decision easily, and the time continued to pass.

The man tried to make a periodic noise and tell me that he was here.

No answer came back.

“At twelve o'clock ……. ”

At noon, at least a little light started to come in.

However, when a little light could identify the object, the man was once again greatly surprised by the appearance of an invisible wasteland unfolding beneath his feet.

Thankfully, it's not much further up than I thought.

The man quietly measured the distance to the top.

I don't know, but it looks like the distance is roughly the same as the height of three or four adult men.

“Can I...? ”

It's a situation where your legs are rattling because you haven't recovered your health yet, but I'm glad you haven't been torn or broken.

The man pondered.

Maybe we should wait another day like this.

Or maybe you should go up there at your own risk.

It's been more than twelve hours since last evening.

Nevertheless, the rescue team is not even very popular, which means that the situation is much worse than I thought.

The man who was pondering for a while finally hardened each other.

The more time you spend here, the darker your surroundings will be, and you will have to be tied to this rock jaw for one more day until noon when it will be a little brighter.

The man once again hesitated as he stood up with a whispering leg.

It was because I thought it might be too hasty.

However, the man shook his head within.

and stretched out his hand, looking at the cliff's edges, which were faintly identifiable.

Fortunately, the man had previously done a little bare climbing called sport climbing.

I would not have tried to climb barefoot in this way, no matter how bad the situation was.

“Phew... Phew... Phew... Phew... ”

However, the man regretted his choice before climbing a few meters.

From the bottom, it looked like an ordinary cliff, but as I climbed up and saw it, the rocky wall was close to a soft clay wall.

This makes it difficult to find a foothold to support your weight.

Because of this, the man had to dig through the walls like a mole and build his own footstool.

This was several times harder than a normal barefoot climb, and it was doubtful whether the footstool so made would be able to fully withstand his weight.

A man crawls desperately up the wall, enduring the pain pushed from his fingertips digging through the wall.

How much did he climb like that?

Suddenly, the footstool that was stepping up collapsed.

“Argh!”

A man could not help but stretch out his arms and barely fall to hang on the wall, but could not stop the pain that seemed to break from his shoulders.

The man bites his lips.

The smell of bitter blood has been transmitted from the clenched lips.

However, it was not enough to suppress the pain of the whole body, which was compounded by pain.

“Phew... Phew... Phew... Phew... ”

The man takes a few deep breaths and reaches up slowly again.

And at the end of the climb, the man was finally able to climb the cliff.

The man brushes on the floor without even having a chance to look around.

“Huff... Huff... ”
