I navigated the labyrinth towards the direction Genesis had displayed, and the weight of Marcus’s betrayal and Olivia’s death were still heavy in my mind.It felt like the stone walls were closing in on me, and it felt like I’d succumbed to my dark side, embracing the shadows.I pressed on. My senses were heightened to the very limit, and I was on high alert for anything that could be lurking in the shadows.I rounded a corner, and came face to face with a group of players. I could see in their eyes that they had malicious intent.When they saw me they snarled and eyed me like a group of lions, stalking their prey.I readied myself, there was no point in trying to negotiate and I took a stance.I scanned the group and my gaze fell on the leader, in his hand, was the final flag.‘He has the flag and chose not to turn it in? Why?,’ I thought to myself.NOTICE[The players appear to be a group of serial killers. A group of players termed as player killers have come to the light recently,
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
He stepped forward and there was a lot of murmuring from the crowd.Everyone pointed fingers at him and seemed to recognize him, and the fear was evident on their faces.‘Genesis, what's going on?’ I thought.[I believe that Marcus wasn't entirely truthful about some of the things he told you. It's evident that you shall soon find out his true identity.]‘I always knew that there was something wrong about him, but I never thought he would be hiding something, what could it be?’ I thought to myself.Finally, the announcer raised his hand high in the air, and the whole arena came to a hush.“Marcus, The Player Killer, what do you wish for?” His voice rang and echoed across the arena.‘So that's his big secret?’ I thought to myself and clicked my tongue in annoyance. ‘He kills other players, either for monetary value or to get what he wants, I figured that part out already, but what else is he hiding?’He stood unfazed by the fearful murmurs of the crowd, and cold smirk played at the cor
“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 opened my eyes and sat up in the chair, and the jet was already landing.As we descended into Miami, I looked out the window, and took in the beautiful landscape below. The sun-soaked beaches and glittering skyscrapers seemed a world away from the deadly games I had just endured.The aircraft landed softly with a gentle thud, and the flight attendant's voice echoed through the cabin, announcing our arrival. Stephanie gathered her belongings, and we made our way off the jet. The warm air from the city of Florida greeted us as we stepped out onto the airfield.Several sleek black cars were parked waiting for us, and we were transported to a luxurious hotel overlooking the ocean. We arrived there not long after, and the drive was mostly uneventful.We approached the reception desk, and the receptionist, a young man, handed us keycards for our respective rooms. "We hope you enjoy your stay," he said with a warm smile, and I appreciated his friendly yet professional tone.Stephanie
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.

“My stats have gone up quite a lot, even after training for over a year, I'm only still at level 115? I'll have to find new places to level up.

I felt a mix of excitement and relief, and I couldn't help but smile as I asked Michael about the next steps. "So, what do we need to do now? Is there any paperwork or negotiations that need to be handled?"His confidence knew no bounds. "Don't worry, Damon. I'll take care of absolutely everything. Just sit back and let me work my magic. Before you know it, we'll have a lucrative partnership with these Saudi Arabian investors, and our oil business will be on the fast track to success."I felt assured when I heard this, and I nodded, even though he knew Michael couldn't see me. "Alright, I trust you. Keep me posted on any updates or if you need anything from me."Before ending the call, I couldn't help but ask about the deal with Pineapple. "By the way, have we received any word from Pineapple? Are they still trying to do business with us?"Michael let out a chuckle. "Not yet, Damon. But you're right, sooner or later they'll come to their senses and realize they can't keep stalling fo
