Harpie hugged Dash Collins her assigned lawyer. Today in the court she had been given a light verdict for her case. Due to lack of evidence, she had been granted to just do some community service and be on the registry of lawbreakers. For Harpie, this was fine compared to rotten in prison, so she gladly took what was on the table. Also, she was grateful to Dash, if not for her effort, she wouldn't be granted freedom. She heard that Dash really worked hard for her case and used her connections and did some digging herself so the accusation against her would weaken. " Thanks," Harpie muttered with teary eyes. Dash just patted her shoulders and respond with a smile. She knows the girl very well, even her real identity that she herself was not aware of. She would have told Harpie that it was really her father who framed her up, that she was the daughter of the Chairman of Life, but if she did that, this girl will surely be devastated. She must admit that this girl is a bitch, and yet
This part here of the Cobalt Castle is highly secured and almost impossible to escape, much more the prisoners here are the most notorious, thus life here is pretty hard than what Harpie had tasted before. Clutching the cell in his yellow suit is Barry Hansen. This time he's the exact opposite picture of the mighty man he once has been before. The guard called his name, telling him that he had a visitor. His brows arched. He's not expecting anyone to visit him here. Not even his wife, Harpie. She knows her, she's the kind who wouldn't stay beside a man in his downfall. She only wants his money and his influence. So, who's here to visit him? His face was expressionless when he saw Robin, the RLP ( Righteous League Police) that's what their department is called. But the more he got curious when he saw Dash Collins with him. Sure he knows Dash. She's one of the Castellan Council. Thinking that they were here to add to his torment, he darted a glare at them letting them know that their p
The piercing sound of an emergency alarm brought him back form the dead of sleep. Carsen wiggled his arms, and when his eyes were finally wide open, he noticed the unfamiliar surroundings he was in. He clucthed at his head. It was heavy. He was figuring out where he was when he heard Jiggs' voice from his back. " you were also brought here with face covered?" he asked. Carsen nodded. "I guess we all are," It was Lizie, interrupting. Janesi was on the end row of the bunk bed. She was quiet while wrapping her injured palm. "Hey! Where did you get that?" Jiggs asked her, he was referring to the injury on her hands. " I fought hard when I was being dragged here," Janesi replied without looking, just frowning. Jair was also there like having his own world in the other side of the bunk bed row. Seeing all of them, Carsen realized that he was now back in the game world. After a while, they heard Jimmie's voice reverberating through the air. Now it wasn't just the voice that's ta
What world is this? The players have the same question in mind. They were caught in limbo just when Lizie's fire exploded. And when everything subsided, they find themselves in an unfamiliar world. Everything around them was covered with snow but the odd thing is it isn't cold. There were unusual futuristic architectures and out-of-this-world vehicles. The players noticed that they were standing in a port. They saw the vast water in front of them and a narrow pointed lighthouse in a distance. Minutes after a yacht came to the port and fetch them. Though reluctant and confused the players hop in. Now, what's attending to them are no longer robot machines but as what Carsen sees they were human flesh. Maybe humans trained for this. Carsen thinks. They wore black combat suits, with weapons in their hands. They wore masks that expose only their eyes, and there is also a uniform barcode tattoo on the back of their neck. They all have the same haircut and the same body built. All the whi
Here they are presented with extravagance. Lavish Food. Comfortable shelter. Finest architectures. First of first-class goods to indulge in. But none is free. For all must be earned. All come with a cost not with money, but with blood. The basic rule in the grand banquet is - Comfort is paid with life. If you want nicer food you have to fight to the death for it. If you want a nicer bed, then you have to win the tasks even if it would risk your life. If you want clean water you bleed to death for it. The Grand Banquet is far different yet brutal from planet earth's new world order. For the players, if the earth is tormenting them, then this new game world that they were in - the Grand Banquet is nothing but hell in perfection. Jimmie even taunted them that they should be thanking him, for making their early days here in the Grand Banquet, easy because for now, they will be working as a team. "Sh**! This is insane!" Jiggs whined. The players were staring at the creature in fron
Dash And RobinGood thing that right now, despite that the entire Castellan council was afraid of going against the water, Dash and Robin was lucky enough to at least get favor from the few councils, and now they are supporting them with their plans about Jimmie Vaughn, while Orin and Talyn were busy deciphering the code so they can have to access the Jimmie's Grand Banquet- the new game world. They weren't expecting Jimmie would come up with this. Now they were even more firm to believe that Jimmie and the Vilgroi were working closely on all of this game madness because he could not set up such high tech and the out-of-this-world game environment without the Vilgroi's help. They also hinted that Jimmie's concealing himself from the public is just a drama. It was just a press release wherein in reality he was working, setting up the game world, that's why he said before that he can't just meet anyone without an appointment or his face is forbidden to be seen by anyone he didn't desire
No waterJiggs would want to curse when he opened the faucet but just then when he was to rinse his mouth out from the toothpaste, the water exactly run off. He slammed the sink and yelled, getting Carsen's attention. " Here!" Carsen handed him a bottle of water. "But this is your last drink," Jiggs hesitated. " It's okay...I can go on for days more," After Carsen won the access card from the beast he have slayed, the players enjoyed enough supplies of water and food, but now those little resources are slowly running, and few more days if there wasn't a game still then they would be starving. And that was what exactly happened. The players woke up today where the water in their rooms and in their bathrooms, had completely run out. Also, the supply of drinking water suddenly stop, and so is are the food that had been constantly delivered to their rooms. An hour later, Jimmie's face was seen again on over all the screen monitors, telling the players that it was now time for scarc
"If ever the next game would involve combat I'm sure I can't make it!" Janesi muttered. " Me too," Lizie sighed frowning. " I forced myself to sleep to not feel that I'm starving but I can't!" and she burst into tears. Her eyes were black and her hair was messy. Even Jair was not in his best mood. His body feels heavy, and his head is aching. This must be because I haven't eaten yet. He thinks. Carsen looked at his co-players. If they would need to battle again today to get an access card, then he's certain they can't win. And that would mean longer starvation. Even, he can't guarantee that he's in good shape. His mind is strong, but his body isn't agreeing. The reason why he's still fine than the other players is that he's the Prime Emanator. His ability is helping him through but his human flesh is what sets his limit. No, we can't starve again for long, if this will go on...I might not hold on longer this time. Carsen thinks. But...Jiggs? He still seemed fine for all th
