The world dissolved into silver.

One second, Ethan was standing in the bunker’s dim light. The next, a blinding flash swallowed everything, and his stomach lurched as if he’d fallen through glass. When his vision cleared, the floor beneath him shimmered—glass. The walls. The ceiling. Everything reflected.

It was like standing inside a diamond.

Naomi, Sky, and Claire appeared around him, disoriented. Hundreds of their reflections stared back from every surface, each one breathing in unison, each

  • Chapter sixty five: The final stage

    The metallic doors of the central hall slid open with a whisper, and a cold, hollow light spilled across the remaining thirteen survivors. The floor shimmered like liquid steel, reflecting their exhausted faces back at them. The air vibrated faintly, as if the chamber itself were alive, waiting for something. The System’s voice cut through the silence like a blade.“Survivors. You have reached the threshold. The Final Stage of the Deadly Game System is now unlocked. Only those who prove mastery will live. Only the strongest, smartest, and most adaptive will advance.”A murmur rippled through the group. Claire’s fingers tightened around the edge of her dagger, Sky’s eyes darted to the corners of the hall, and Bim pressed her hands together in a silent anticipation. Even Marcus, standing off to the side, seemed quiet, his usual arrogance gone by the gravity of the announcement.Ethan’s gaze swept over them all. Thirteen. Just thirteen remained from the original fifty. Every face bore

  • Chapter sixty four: Together we stand

    The system was evil. The players had come to realize that when they were taken from their homes, schools, workplace and brought into a new world where they had to fight to survive every single day. Group one was wiped off because they refused to bow to the system and fight each other. Most of them lost their lives from the trial with the Reptilian monsters, Out of 53 players only 13 were left Ethan, Sky, Claire, Bim, Trace,Pip,Fenn,Ash,Lani, Paz,Rami,Lyra and Professor Lorne Lyra lost her twin, she lay on the battlefield clutching her dead body as she cried.The players all moved to the dining and ate their food solemnly before moving to their bunks “How do you feel sky?“ Claire asked “I'm ok Claire don't worry about me” PLAYERS WELCOME TO THE FINAL STAGE ONLY 13 HAVE MADE IT THIS FAR, YOU HAVE TWO FULL DAYS OF RESTTrave scoffed “Rest?, what fucking rest” she screamed at that system, kicking everything and hitting her hands “Doing all that won't change anythi

  • Chapter Sixty Three: I choose no one

    The field stretched endlessly, a jagged wasteland of blackened rock and blood everywhere, Claire’s hands shook as she knelt beside Sky, whose body was sprawled on the ground, a gash across his side bleeding faster than any healing could stop. Ethan was farther ahead, the faint sparks of his reinforced blades cutting arcs through the air. Monster after reptilian monster dropped before him, each strike sending sprays of ichor and bone fragments across the scorched ground. He fought hard, striking and striking after the monsters to keep them from harming Claire while she tried to heal Sky. “I don't choose anything” Claire screamed at the system “You've taken so much from me and you won't take any more” she yelled YOU REJECT THE OFFER? The system asked YES Claire yelled. Her voice raw from all the screaming and shouting,She pressed a strip of her own shirt over the wound, the fabric already soaked in blood. Her knuckles whitened around the edges as she gritted her teeth, t

  • Chapter Sixty two: Save sky

    The field was still in chaos. Players were screaming and fighting. The monsters hissed in the distance, their reptilian eyes glowing through the haze like embers. The world was falling apart around them—again. But Claire didn’t see any of it. All she saw was Sky—bleeding, shaking, barely breathing. Her hands pressed over his wound, but her healing light refused to ignite properly. It flickered weakly, then sputtered out like a candle fighting wind. “Come on,” she whispered. “Please—please work—” She tried again, pouring everything she had left into the light, but the system’s invisible barrier stopped her cold. A mechanical hum echoed faintly, as if mocking her effort. “Claire!” Ethan’s voice cut through the noise. “Don’t stop! I’ve got you covered!” He turned, slashing at one of the reptilian creatures that lunged for them. His movements were raw, desperate. The sword in his hand cut cleanly through scaled flesh, black blood splattering across his arm. He didn’t ca

  • Chapter Sixty one: Comfort me

    Claire sat with her back against the cold metal wall of an abandoned corridor, her knees pulled to her chest, and her eyes unfocused. She hadn’t meant to run this far. But after everything—after the trial, the choice, the humiliation of realizing she hadn’t been chosen—her body had moved on instinct alone. Away from Sky. Away from the stares. Away from the ache in her chest that refused to settle. Her hands were clenched tightly in the fabric of her sleeves. She had almost convinced herself that she was fine. Almost. Footsteps echoed down the hall. Claire stiffened instantly. “Claire.” Ethan’s voice. She didn’t look up. He stopped a few steps away, giving her space. For a long moment, neither of them spoke. The silence wasn’t awkward—it was heavy, respectful. “You disappeared,” Ethan said quietly. “So?” Her voice was small. Too small. “So I came to find you.” She swallowed. Her throat felt raw. “You shouldn’t have.” “Why?” She hesitated, then finally

  • Chapter Sixty: Choose your squad mate

    Sky closed his ears as heard the gunshot TEST TRIAL COMPLETE The system said, He looked up and Claire was still alive, her face a mask of pain and disappointment. Their ropes were cut and she and Bim fell to the ground. Bim got up looking at him with a strange look, while claire just say frozen.The atmosphere was heavy, the silence almost suffocating.Claire stumbled along the uneven ground, knees trembling, hands shaking from the adrenaline that hadn’t yet left her veins. She had expected the worst, had expected the system to take everything, and yet she was alive. Bim, the girl Sky had chosen, stood a few meters away, unharmed, safe. And that simple fact ignited a firestorm inside Claire that she hadn’t anticipated.Her legs faltered, and she collapsed onto a fallen log, staring at the two of them—Sky, his face taut with guilt, Bim smiling nervously, unaware of the depth of the damage.“How… how could you?” Claire’s voice cracked, high and raw, echoing across the empt
