Chapter 5:

Live Or Die.

Limitless.


The fire closing in, I was stuck in deep thought. "Think Osore THINK!". the fire getting closer by centimeter. But my mind just wasn't working with me. Its now or never. the temperature in the room rising as the fire was a warning that the fire was gonna burn me into shreds. "maybe it is live?" nodding my head." Maybe its die" a 50:50 chance. it mattered on luck. using basic knowledge i put my eyes on the die door, as in a puzzle they'd never make it the easy, or generic option. resting on the die door i thought maybe it wanted me to do exactly what i did. But going with gut and instinct i opened the door.

"few," i said with a scared grin on my face. there again laid a die door in front of me and a live door to my right. But still, i had no solution. the smell of the fire was already much stronger than the last room, giving me the hint that it's a shorter time. The stress and agony came to my head. "Osore we gotta create a fucking plan, quickly!". As the smell became stronger i became more stressed. the last room was on luck, it won't be like that this time. being closer to the die door i laid on it. Trying to think. But something preoccupied me, It was the fire. Time was moving slow ,as i was seeing the fire leaving the hole, almost looking like a dragon whos been angered. Tears started to fall from my eyes, wanting to choose the live door i couldn't. as my body was too far from it. It all depends on this. The door slaming open i fell straight through. and there laid an identical room.

'huh?' i actually lived. I cant keep putting my faith in luck. i had to come up with a plan fast and quickly. The fire smeel becoming more ashy, i knew i had a shroter time. trying to think of a plan i was distracted by the scorching aroma around me. I sat there thinking and thinking . And thats when my mind chose to assist.

You see, the limitless room is a cube approximately 20 by 20 metres. If the original back room is 60 by 60. then there must be at least 9 rooms within this one room. Ive already passed two rooms both being in a line, so by process of elimination, the two rooms in the middle should be invalid. Each room has a 'live' door to your right or 'die' door to your front .if the entrance is on the far left and the exit is on the far right of the same side, then the correct door should be live.

Out of 'fear and amusement', i rapidly unzipped my bag and opened my planner. Jotted down a diagram of my explanation and made it understandable. showing my pearly whites i noted a 10-second diagram of how this works. "easy, couldn't make it even a data bit harder?"

With my vague thoughts it was up to this one movement. "I know I'm correct. You cant beat logic". The fire trying to engulf me i laid my hand on the live door. With 100% ensurity i said "A puzzle is much like a lock, every lock has a key and by finding that key you solve the puzzle.". Opening the door with full pride. I smiled as I've never felt this relief and joy in a long time, But my heart was pounding never like it did before. As much as i was happy a little bit of me was scared.

The pattern went on. The fourth room being die, as live will lead me to one of the two unused rooms .fifth room being live as the die door will lead to me to leave the room as a hole in the incorrect exit. Room 6 the door was die, as by the process of elimination method erased the two rooms in the middle, meaning the live door just led me to the incorrect rooms. Entering the die door, i thought this was over. A big burden was off my shoulder, but i felt empty. Thinking what will i do after this is done? But just as i thought i was all correct. I glared up and there was 3 doors. All called "Leave". wait this isnt meant to happen? Why isnt there just one door as an exit?". Taking me down from a 50% chance to a 33.3 % chance. Thinking rationally i eliminated the door to my left as that led to one of the incorrect room. There stood two doors. Both called leave, one to my left and one ahead.

"Ok what do i do now?" thinking back. My head started to turn blank. "This contradicts my theory, doesn't it? Just as i thought i was notorious this goes and fucks it up". But thinking back i remember the original lay out of the back room. it was a 60 by 60 metre room with the entrance on the front side on the far let, and exit on the same side on the far right. If i entered through the far left then the exit door must be completely opposite but the same side. so by discarding this leads the only door, The one thats ahead of me.

Opening the door, slowly i took a step. BOOM. The fire was released. "FUCK IT HURTSSS" My whole lower body burned. i screamed "SOMEBODY HELP" knowing i was in a world with no other life form other than me. With death within a mile away the read button. "Leave" crawling with all strength i pushed and slammed my hand on the surface of the button.

'OSORE WAKE-UP!' Slowly opening my eyes the time was 12:21, raising my head with a massive grin. The smile showed my amusement, but the sweat displacing my fear. the classroom in shock stared at me unnaturally. I let out a chuckle, my eyes wide open. "THIS IS WHAT IT FEELS TO DEFEAT A GOD?"
