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
The players fell silent waiting for Jair's decision. As per the rules, the one who will get 20 dots will gain the access card. Basically, now there are two access cards to collect, one provides them access to food and other commodities needed, while the other one will give them access to celestial powers. And today, it's Jair who wins. If he will share the commodities with his co-players then he will get the access card for celestial powers. That's the rule which Jimmie had set. Besides, the commodity card for this game will provide him long time access to food, water, and other stuff. They will be sufficient for months, and this will be comforting to the players. Jair glanced at his co-players. His eyes paused at Carsen who was waiting for his answer. He felt glad today for he defeated him. He felt like he was above him. "Jair?" The players were waiting for him to respond. Jair's mouth twitched, and he smile at them. " Sure...of course, I'll share my commodity card with you guy
HarpieThe talk with Barry didn't give her clarity. So, now she's here standing again in front of this familiar door. Her last memory of this house was when she was a kid, before the apocalypse war. The house still has the same solitary vibes. Harpie wonders how Dr. Williams has been doing now. She hopes he's fine for he's the only person she sees now who can give her the truth. Dr. William's face was startled when he sees her. Yet, his fatherly gesture and accommodating attitude made her comfortable. Harpie noticed how the house had changed much since she left. She could tell that the atmosphere inside had become vibrant, compared to before. "Do you like something to drink?" Dr. William asked Harpie. He knows that his daughter Janesi had got an apartment for her and Harpie in the city. But even though, he didn't dare contact Harpie. The kid has been like a daughter to him, too. But Harpie's background is a threat to them, so he tried not contacting the girl again. It's enough th
Jimmie rushed to the monitors to check all the footage captured by the cameras surrounding his house. Someone must have spied on my residence! Damn! What day is it? He was in a sort of a hurry, thinking he's been spied on for long, but then he paused as when he scanned, he saw an image of Harpie in the distance, hiding behind the lampost, near the main gate. And the time stamp shows it's just recent footage. So, Harpie Allens was there in her hoodie, he was certain it was her when the girl removed her mask and smirked at the camera, which was located at the main gate. "Sh**!" Jimmie mumbled. He darted a glare at Harpie. At this moment, he only wants to make her pay. And so he rushed outside, with his face enraged. Meanwhile"Yes, confirmed," Harpie told the other person on the phone. Good thing that Janesi was a vlogger and she had shared a home with her recently, it exposed her to people with cameras. And now, they just have called them. Let's see if you won't freak out wh
