The Elite Game Chapter 29. Greed.
I dragged my legs through without any idea of where we were headed. If I dared to even stop moving I would be pushed from behind by one of the guards, all the while only one thought was on my mind. “If only I could discover more.”I hated it, how short I was on time, I had come to the point where I was hopeless, how exactly did he want me to save my classmates when I had little to no time? The scene of piled-up bodies certainly wasn't something I would have liked to see again. “Too bad he was the only one.”Suddenly something inside me clicked. I knew something inside of me perceived things differently but I had only been able to sense it now. “What if someone else was in on the whole thing?” At long last Dale” 's words had begun to make sense, the words he kept saying echoed in my head. “We,” I thought to myself. “Not I.”I knew then and there that there was still hope for this terrible situation, Dale was not working alone, perhaps this game was unavoidable but I was glad I h
The Elite Game Chapter 30. Trust.
Rules, or should I say excuses, excuses for them to kill us. To my greatest disarray, I had to not only figure out a way to not die but also a way to save as many people as possible. Was that possible? Probably, I wasn't sure but I had to try. I stood up, ready to take the first step in action, I made my way to the center of the room and stood. I could feel everyone staring at me, they whispered amongst themselves and probably wondered what I wanted to do, some of them didn't look pretty excited to see me and a few looked hopeful.Their intentions are crystal clear, they wanted to reach the door before anyone else, but how foolish they looked, how nervously they trembled, most of them wouldn't even last three minutes in here and might collapse right during the game. “Hello everyone,” I greeted only to be replied by the dead silence that followed after, soon everyone returned to speaking with their peers and left me like an outcast. Well, what could I say, it was what I did someho
The Elite Game Chapter 31. Let's play Ball.
One by one, they seized us and blind folded us once again. I couldn't tell where we were going but it was obvious it was the arena. I couldn't stop thinking about that girl, what did she have in mind? it bothered me to think I had to put my trust in her, but at this point it was better than nothing at all. At last the guards stopped marching and let go of me. I could hear my classmates around me questioning where they were but there was no reply. "Do you think they've gone?" "Where are we?" "Is the next game about to start?" The whole place buzzed with curious suspicions and yet no one dared to make the next move, that is until he did. "Argh! Dammit, it's either they say something or am doing things my way," Zane yelled. I patiently waited to know what he was up to, but what followed was a grunt, he sounded confused. I itched to know what it was, and I also feared to know the reason behind his sudden quietness. Let's say his curiousity got to me and I ended up taking off my b
The Elite Game Chapter 32. Run Boy Run!
As I stood upon the wall and gazed below I realized just how fucked up we were.This maze was a designed death trap by a bunch of crazy bastards, even from where I stood I could not see afar. Still, I guess I could work with this. “Alright, we’ll stick to the first plan but it'll contain a few changes.” Their brows narrowed, “huh? But don't you see-”“I know, and I get it, I'm scared too, but we can work something out. Everyone, grab a partner, let's split into groups. Each of us will take a route, from what I can see it doesn't matter what route you take you'll end up reaching the exit, but, I think there's a catch, we’d need to keep our eyes open for traps and more, so long as the right person gets to the exit then we’re good. I'd stay behind and guard everyone.”It was a good plan but something troubled me, this feeling of restlessness. Unlike other Mazes all the routes here lead to the same exit so it didn't matter what route we were to take the results would be the same that i
The Elite Game Chapter 33. Bowling Time.
I knew we were fucked. Talk about a ball chasing the others from behind. Things started to get a little trickier. While navigating my classmates to the exit, I noticed a sudden movement, which caused me to lose balance. “What the hell!” I cursed out of great shock. I wasn't sure what was going on at first and decided to halt in my tracks, but it wasn't just me; Zane also desperately tried to balance himself on top of the wall and turned to me, panting heavily as if he just saw his life flashed before his eyes. “Did you see that, Ande?” He yelled. “Yeah, and I don't think we're just seeing things?” I answered. Taking the next step felt like walking on thin threads, and it was more than frightening now that the wall didn't move like a snake patiently waiting to corner us. “Is everything alright there, guys?” Our attention is called back to the competition; I glanced back at the clock, noting that we were short on time; it was now or never. We had no choice. “We're alright, in a
The Elite Game Chapter 34. Twist and Turns.
“Ande, where the hell are you going?” Zane was struck with confusion as I made a turn towards the opposite direction and could not hide his concerns. Believe it or not, this was my only option, and I wouldn't let things end this way.“Time's up!” A voice yelled from somewhere amongst the crowd, and I knew I had to get things scurrying if we wanted to get to that exit on time. Tossing between my thoughts, I quickened my feet and headed straight to my left, where I spotted the other students. As I had predicted, the ball seemed to be tailing me, and it did not look like I could shake it off, no matter how many turns I took. This was the only option I had left. I ran like all hell had just broken loose, “Hey!!!” I yelled out loud to get their attention, but they didn't seem to hear me. One quick look behind me, and immediately, I knew I was in for a hot ride. “Hey!!!! Behind you!!!!” I continued to call out all which went to deaf ears. “Have you gone mad?”Upon hearing Zane's voi
The Elite Game Chapter 35. Blames.
As soon as it disappeared, panicked screams erupted from around. Exchanging worried stares with the others, I wondered what was going on. The only idea I had was that the appearance of the dead student on the screen must have reminded the other students that this was a death trap. “Shit,” I mumbled beneath my breath. It wasn’t the first death and wasn’t going to be the last. However, I thought that if we had a plan, we could lessen the number of deaths. It seemed hopeless now. I turned to the others. “Let’s go.” The screams didn’t still stop, making me wonder if I was just wrong and, perhaps there was an annihilation somewhere, which was impossible. The old geezer would rather we fought amongst ourselves, but it didn’t make sense for the former to happen since we still had time left. I needed to stop overthinking. As we turned a corner, three students stood in the middle of the road, having a discussion. Upon hearing our footsteps, they turned with panic-stricken expressions, which
The Elite Game Chapter 36. Tick Tock
We began running, with Zane and me in the lead while the others were behind. Before us was a right corner, and just as we turned, we saw a horrifying scene. A loud gasp sounded behind me. Perhaps one of the girls. On the ground was a boy whose neck was turned at an abnormal degree as if he had been looking backwards when he fell. Even his legs were broken. It was a sight that almost made me scream, but there was no use to it. “Let’s just go,” Zane called out, and reluctantly, the others began to run. I didn’t turn back; I focused more on the timer on the screen. We had two minutes and thirty seconds remaining. If we got locked in the maze, I wasn’t sure of what could happen next. There’s another fork in front of us, and glancing at Zane, he gestured to the right. Just as we veered in that direction, I heard my name. “Ande!” Turning, I saw Austin running towards us, his face streaked with sweat. Naturally, he didn’t look fit, but I was impressed he already came this far. “Where’s

Chapter 138. Escaped Helpers.
"We're not your enemies. We're students, too. We escaped the school just like you." I hesitated, my grip loosening. "Prove it," I demanded. "How do we know you're telling the truth?" At last they took off the mask from their faces, they looked nothing older than eighteen at most, but I wasn't going to be fooled, definitely not by their appearance especially. We pointed the guns at them, cold sweat dripped all over my face but that wasn't enough to make me tremble, at least I wouldn't allow myself to fall victim to such trickery. “No problem, no problem, I'll prove it, I'll show you that we mean no harm I swear,” the female of the group yelled. “Please, just back off with the gun a bit, that thing's dangerous and I doubt you even know how to hold them properly which makes it more dangerous.” Was she mocking us or what? I couldn't make due with it. I took a quick look at her and her colleagues behind us. They didn't seem to have any sort of weapon on them and they didn't retali

Chapter 139. Defiance.
I could hardly believe my eyes at first, but that was the honest truth apparently, and just like that, we had finally escaped the school, but freedom felt like a distant memory as we trudged through the arid landscape. Where we would go from here, that was the next question. Amid the celebration and excitement from my classmates I looked around, something didn't feel right, not in the slightest, but what was it? Suddenly, it occurred to me to look ahead as if I surveyed the land. "Does anyone have a binocular?" I asked. "A binoculars? I think I got one while we were escaping, it was amongst the staff gadgets," someone said. At once it struck me. Why exactly would they need such in the first place? The more I puzzled about this uneasy feeling the more restless I felt. The girl handed over the device with a bothered look on her face. I grabbed hold of the device and peered through. Scanning- Scanning- The coast looked clear, crystal clear however, what was this cloud of dus

Chapter 138. Break The Illusion.
(Diego's POV)I dart through the shifting corridors of the maze, my heart pounding in my chest as I try not to lose sight of the others. The disorienting twists and turns of this twisted landscape make it difficult to keep my bearings.And I'm finding it harder and harder to keep on going.As I watch my classmates struggle to cross the swaying platforms, a seed of doubt begins to take root in my mind. Something about this whole scenario doesn't feel right. The way the walls shift and the floors move - it's almost as if it's an illusion, a trick of the mind.I take a step back, studying the maze around us more closely. The patterns on the walls seem to shimmer and distort, and the very air feels charged with an unnatural energy. Narrowing my eyes, I focus my senses, trying to pierce through the deception.Suddenly, a flicker of movement catches my eye, and I whirl around to see a shimmering figure in the distance. It's the teacher, I'm sure of it. A wild surge of anger rises within me

Chapter 137. Space Manipulation.
(Ande's POV)We wait patiently for Ethan in the game room, the few of us that are still free, trying to cross check if we have everything. It was almost….. peaceful.Alas, things were not meant to be, as the world around us suddenly shifts and distorts.I grip the railing as the building contorts before my eyes, the once familiar corridors and classrooms twisting and distorting like a kaleidoscope. The floors seem to shift beneath my feet, and I struggle to maintain my balance as the world around me turns upside down. "What's happening?" I shout, my voice laced with panic as I glance at my teammates. Ava clings to the wall, her eyes wide with terror, while Chris braces himself against a doorframe, his knuckles turning white.A sinister chuckle echoes through the disorienting space, and I feel a chill run down my spine. "Did you really think you could escape me so easily?" The teacher's voice, dripping with malice, surrounds us.I whirl around, searching for the source of the sound.

Chapter 136. Divide Map.
(Ande's POV)After washing out the blood from my clothes, I looked down with a heavy sigh of disbelief, I could not believe that this was what I had been reduced to. A monster, perhaps. "We have to go," Chris said to me, his hand upon my shoulder. Yes, there was somewhere we had to be and I refused to let anything come in the way of my freedom, not even myself. Chris and I rejoin the others. The students from the lab are gathered, their faces etched with a mixture of fear and anticipation. They couldn't possibly reject me and I knew that, I was one of them and they were just like me, we had the same substance or whatever it was that was put in me running through their veins, they couldn't possibly bail on me. "Ande," one of them says, her voice tinged with relief. "We've been trying to make sense of what happened back there."As I explain what I found in the lab and the chip I retrieved, their expressions shift from confusion to horror."So they were trying to turn us into desti

Chapter 136. Hybrid Solutions..
(Ande's POV)I shake my head, refusing to believe what they're telling me. "No, I can't have done this. There must be some mistake." I couldn't accept that in the slightest bit, how could everything turn out this way, we had come so far and yet this was supposed to be the result?No, it couldn't possibly be this way. "Ande, listen to us," Ethan says, his tone urgent however I looked away from him, the last thing I wanted on my plate was someone to interfere with how I felt but he was persistent an attribute that I had hated for quite a while now. "We all felt... different, after what happened in the lab. And now, with what's happened here... we can't risk staying any longer. For our own safety, and for yours."I want to protest, to demand answers, but the fear in their eyes gives me pause. I took a deep sigh, surely this wasn't the end of everything, I knew there had to be some sort of way but the opportunity seemed difficult to come by. "I understand but I'm sure there's a cure

Chapter 134. Project H.
(Ande's POV)Ethan's head snaps up, his eyes wide with fear. "No, please, Ande! I swear, I won't do anything like that again. I'm with you, all the way. You can trust me, I promise.," he said, while desperately leaning to us for trust. I hold his gaze, searching for any hint of doubt or deception. After a long moment, I nod slowly. "Alright, Ethan. I'm going to hold you to that promise. We can't afford any more risks, not when we're so close to freedom."Ethan nods, his shoulders slumping with relief. "I understand, Ande. I won't let you down, I swear it."Before I can say more, Jay suddenly interrupts us, his gaze strangely vacant as he clutches the sleeve of my shirt. "Ande," he says, "Ande…""Jay, what's wrong?" I ask, placing a hand on his shoulder. "You seem... different."Jay turns to me, his eyes clouded with an almost otherworldly intensity. "We need to go back to the school," he says, his voice barely above a whisper. "It's important, Ande. We have to leave go back now."I'

Chapter 133. A New Plan..
I'm in my office when a guard bursts into my office, breathless and wide-eyed. "Sir, there's an urgent joint summit being called. You're expected to attend immediately."I let out a frustrated sigh. These summits always mean more demands and red tape to deal with. "Can't they handle this without me for once?" I grumble.The guard shakes his head. "I'm afraid not, sir. They've specifically requested your presence."I groan in frustration, slamming the files shut. The benefactors - those stupidity wealthy elites who oversee the Games - are the bane of my existence. "Unbelievable. Can't they see I'm up to my neck in work here? We're still recovering from the disastrous events of the last Games."The guard shifts nervously. "I'm afraid they won't take no for an answer, sir. They said it's non-negotiable."I pinch the bridge of my nose, feeling a migraine coming on. "Fine, fine. Tell them I'll be there momentarily." As the guard scurries off, I mutter a string of curses under my breath.

Chapter 132. Cracker the Code.
There is a dismembered hand lying on the floor, partially obscured by the doorway. My stomach lurches at the gruesome sight, bile rising in my throat.The skin is pale, the fingers contorted, and there's still fresh blood pooling around it. I freeze, my eyes fixed on the grisly scene.Ethan and the others hadn't noticed it by the looks of things, their focus probably only on getting into the school undetected. But I can't tear my gaze away. Something about the hand catches my eye - it appears to be clutching a small electronic device, a tablet of some kind. Swallowing hard, I slowly approach the severed limb. I need to get a closer look. Crouching down, I carefully pry the fingers open and retrieve the tablet, wincing at the sticky, warm sensation of the blood on my skin. My heart is pounding as I examine the device, realizing it's emitting some kind of frequency. An idea struck. Quickly, I pull out my jammer and connect it to the tablet, grinning as I gain access to the video.
