Serious Problem Before the Challenge 

As he opened his eyes, Liam felt his eyes sting and suddenly thought of putting a hand to his face and shielding his eyes from the brightness that was attacking him.

But strangely, he couldn't move his arm, instead feeling a wave of pain that made him forget the pain in his eyes as he cracked his mouth to let out a soft, muffled scream.

"Aaagh!"

He closed his mouth after that as he tried to look down at his body, ignoring the surroundings of the hospital bed he was in.

As he struggled to move his neck, Liam saw his bandaged and immobilized body, his arms and legs in casts, his bandaged abdomen bloodied here and there.

He couldn't see his back now, but he was pretty sure he was bleeding at his right lung height.

For a minute, he was racked with pain, noticing every part of his body while ignoring his surroundings and what had happened earlier.
