She froze, her hand was still gripping the flag's handle as she looked at me with a mixture of confusion and concern. "What's wrong?" she asked, and I could hear the uncertainty in her voice."I'm not sure," I admitted, my gaze still scanning the chamber. "Something doesn't feel right. I feel like it was too easy, that this is a trap."Marcus furrowed his brows, "What are we missing?" he murmured, more to himself than to either of us.Just as Olivia began to loosen her grip on the flag, a faint click echoed through the chamber. We all tensed up as our eyes darted across the room, trying to identify the source of the sound.Before we could react, the floor beneath us began to shift. The stone tiles slid away, revealing a gaping chasm below. Olivia stumbled and lost her balance as the ground beneath her feet disappeared.In a burst of adrenaline, Marcus and I lunged forward, each of us grabbing one of Olivia's arms just before she plummeted into the abyss. She dangled precariously

I wasn't surprised when he said this, it actually made sense to me.‘How else would haccese to so much information,’ I thought to myself.“So how do I come into play in all this?” I asked him.“I know the hatred you must feel, like the whole world is against you. Your family, who were responsible for your murder in your first life, the adversity you currently face in the player games, I am aware of all of it. I, too, am no stranger to adversity. When I suggested that the player games be abolished, the other keepers banished me, and left me to roam the cosmos. I would have been murdered, but one keeper cannot murder another,” he said and paused.I suddenly felt the realization and saw the point he was driving at the entire time.He wanted to use me as a weapon, to fight against the other keepers.“You're absolutely correct, while it is true that the keepers are cosmic beings and the creators of the universe, players may attain equal or even greater power than the keepers, making them t

I avoided the pack of ravenous wolves without much difficulty, the trail of the assassin was enough to throw them off my scent.“Genesis, show me the way out,” I said.[Understood]My eyes lightened up with a blue color, and the path on the floor illuminated, revealing the road I needed to take.‘Genesis is honestly a broken asset, I wonder what its limits are,’ I thought to myself.I followed the path and not before long I found the same entrance with which we entered from.The sight of the dead bodies of my dead comrades didn't affect me anymore, as I made my way through the pile of bodies.Reaching the entrance, I pushed the stone wall open and walked out into the arena once again.There was a loud roar from the crowd when I entered, as the announcer blew his horn again.“And finally, the final flag has been retrieved, signaling the end of the player games!” He screamed and there were loud screams of approval from the crowd.I looked forward and saw four other players, flags in han

“Lord Voltaris, permit a humble creation like me to speak in your presence,” Marcus said and smiled, as he remained on his knees.“Champion, rise to your feet, you may speak your desire,” he responded in a commanding voice.Marcus slowly rode to his feet, and raised his shoulders in confidence.“Lord Voltaris, I was informed by Herald that my wish could not be granted, I certainly believe that beings as powerful as you should be able to grant such a humble request from one of your servants,” he responded, his tone was very respectful, so as not to arouse the anger of a god.“Your wish shall be granted champion,” he simply responded and Marcus nodded his head, a callous look written on his face."Champion, your wish shall be granted," Lord Voltaris declared, his voice carrying a note of finality. Before departing, he addressed the crowd once more. "My time in this realm is at an end," he stated, and his words echoed through the arena."I must return now to the Celestial Nexus, where

I woke up the next morning feeling rejuvenated and relaxed.My experience with Noelle was just what I needed to get back on my feet, and I had only one thing on my mind at that point: Getting stronger.‘Genesis, display my status window,’ I thought.[Understood.
