Just stay where you are. Never go to the other part of the mountain. Jimmie's order to Harpie echoed in her thoughts. Now, Talyn was more curious about what was on another side, what was outside the house whom Harpie was set to wait for her doctor. Good thing, Harpie was on sedation so she fallen deep asleep. Talyn did the same method of sneaking in, in case there were cameras monitoring her, she went out of the portal first, and came back again using her original watcher's face. So if ever Jimmie would check the monitor he would just think that she had tailed on Usiu. She can't put Usiu in danger. Clothe in a watcher's combat outfit, goes to the forbidden part of Mount Infernal. All were just dim deserted places at the entrance. Nothing explosives. Nothing threatening. This part here was more like an abandoned area. She thinks. And then an underground architecture captured her sight. There's a hidden stair going down to it. She looks first if there were anyone around like guards

Casino game is actually just an easy pie for Carsen. He used to play that when he was doing undercover. Now, that he won this round he was thinking if Jimmie would grant him an access card to celestial powers, but that is the game rule, he can't bend it. Carsen...Master...It was Orin. Carsen rose from his bed sensing that Orin was trying to connect to him through telepathy. " I won in the last round!" Carsen gladly announced. " I'm thinking if Jimmie would abide in his rule and if ever what is the best celestial ability I could have?" " Do you get to choose?" Orin ask. " That's the problem I think not..." Carsen heard Orin sigh on the other side. " I'll see if Talyn can do a thing," " How is she by the way?" " She's still resting from the bruises she got from Mount Infernal," " Mount Infernal?" " Apparently... it's the Vilgroi's secret place," Carsen withdraws his connection with Orin when he noticed the game armies entering their quarters. The game armies reach t

"Haissht! The new rule seems pretty but it sucks how they can just change quickly!" The players were whining when they get to their quarters. Carsen was just silent. He is thinking. Good thing he already had got a new ability before the change happened. Anyway, he isn't surprised at all. He is expecting this game world to get even crueler. But Harpie...how come she change a lot? Carsen asked in his thoughts. Days in the Grand Banquet go as usual as before. They were thankful that they could still have a decent meal. The game armies were still surrounding them, watching, guarding in a distance in whatever they are doing. It was as if they could get killed anytime here. The players were doing fine. They were surviving based on their personalities. Here in this game world, it was like they were animals who would do the best out of their instinct to survive, ready to drop their hearts and morals. As for Jair, he's still a loner, aloof to everyone except Lizie. Janesi had been dis

Flashback - Harpie" What did you dig out?" Jimmie's face seemed serious. The man whom he task to investigate his daughter was trembling when he handed him the pictures he had secretly taken. Recently, he has heard Harpie being assaulted by Barry in the bar. Such news about her daughter being dragged out of the luxury bar half-naked was humiliating to him. He wouldn't allow anyone to trample her daughter just like that. So, he hired the best investigator in the city to dig things out. What he aimed at first was finding something he could blackmail Barry but now he was shocked to see he found otherwise. "Chairman...It seems Harpie Allens isn't normal," the investigator said. He's supposed to have without emotion but seeing his daughter being different evoked many bad memories in him. He identified his condition to her. How could she also be wired badly? Jimmie thinks. All his life he atones on being the evil child. He was secretly despised by his father because of that. He was l

"Whoah! Can we still call this place a Grand Banquet? Is this still part of the game world?" Lizie asked her co-players. Now it was nighttime. The sea was dreamy. It seemed to have its own rhythmic pulse like it's sounding its own symphony. If some of the players find the night sea beautiful but for Lizie, the vast black water is terrifying. Aside from that their yacht looks like a small glittery thing sailing in the vast blackness, for her, there are actually lots of reasons to be scared on a cruise like this. First, of course, she knows they will be wrestling for their lives here while they are all amidst these unfamiliar waters. My ability is fire...and we are here in these vast waters. Among us, I am in the worst position here. Lizie thinks. She took a deep breath and massage her neck. There's actually one thing she wanted now. She wants this water journey and these long game nights to be over. "Aren't we dropping our anchor in lands nearby?" Lizie asked. "Huh? as if..."
