I woke up from a roar of thunder.I look around me only to see Micah sleeping while leaning on the wall near the bonfire.I can't help but to sigh, this girl.I reach my shirt near the bonfire.We are issued two pairs of shirt and pants with numbers but all of our two pairs were wet. That's why we are forced to cover ourselves with malongs, while waiting for our shirts to dry.they aren't that heartless, they still gave us something we can cover ourselves with.It's a good thing it's already dry, I wore my shirt and used my malong to cover myself.The sun hasn't risen yet but it'll be better to start moving while it's still dark."Micah, wake up already, we need to get moving""Hmmm"She humm but just shrugged and continued to sleep."Tsk, wake-up or I will leave you"In just an instant she opened her eyes."Oh, Vannilope, you're already awake? Have you had a good sleep? I made sure to guard our surroundings"I stared at her."Yeah? Tsk, dress up, it's still raining needles but we alre
I look around and look for any weird marks that might be Micah's signs.I look at each tree, stone and even soil but I can't see anything.I look up, the sun already rose and the rain has already stopped falling but it's still cold and slippery.I saw some weird marks on a huge tree nearby.I look at it closely and find out that it's a carved arrow pointing north, there's a carved letter 'M' on the top of it.Seems like this is already the sign I'm looking for.I wasted no time and followed the trail to the north where I find more carved arrows until I reached a little stream, on the other side, there's a big nara tree and there's a carved arrow on it, I guess she draw it bigger on purpose so I can notice it.I jump thru each rock and managed to reach the other side withoug getting wet though my shirt is already wet with the rain earlier.I'm about to celebrate because I managed not to get wet and then I take glimpse on my muddy feet, guess washing it won't hurt.After washing my face
"Woah, as expected from you, even with just a knife you still managed to win"Micah said while packing the resources we found, there are nine can goods, three bottle of water, pack of sweets and biscuits then four Tupperware full of foods.Good thing they packed delicious foods, hopefully it doesn't contain any poison."By the way, thank you so much earlier! Without you I'm sure I'm already dead!""You already thanked me five times so stop it, let's go, we only have two days left and we haven't found our target or the door yet""You're right, we should get going"She wore her pack bag and slowly stood up, it's so obvious that she's having a hard time walking because of her leg injury.~"Finally, we're already out of that dark forest, let's rest a little please, my injury hurts a lot"Micah said before sitting directly on the road.I look around me but there are nothing but huge walls dividing the whole area so it'll look like a maze but there's still a building on each block."Wait"
I woke up when I heard Micah's scream."Finally you already gained consciousness"I said while rubbing my eyes, the surrounding is still dark, it's still probably two or three in the morning, we're still in a dum, Micah lost her consciousness and just woke up, she's probably so tired, after all those injuries it'll be no wonder.I hand her a bottle of water, she's panting and sweats were all over her faces."Are you okay?"She wiped her mouth after drinking the bottled water."Yeah, I just had a nightmare where I killed that fat lady we encounter last time, weird, it's such a vivid dream as if it really happened, by the way what happened? Did I passed out?"I just stare at her as if giving her a hint."Huh? What's with that stare? Come on, tell me what happened? I can't remember it clearly""You really didn't recall what happened?"She paused as if she's trying hard to remember it."Hmm I remembered we found the exit…I took a stone….then I saw the fat…fat lady?! W-wait—" she looked at
~"Hey wake up already "I nodge Micah's shoulder trying to wake her up.After we let our shirts dry Micah fall asleep, I didn't noticed that I already fallen asleep, probably because of tiredness, when I woke up the sun were already striking, good thing that chainsaw freak didn't found us or we're dead."Hmm? Five minutes more""Wake up already or I will leave you here"I said trying to threaten her but she didn't respond and just hug herself instead, she's probably so tired.I sigh and lit up the fire instead of trying to wake her.I sharpened the tip of the twig I picked earlier before I put the fish on it, we're near the river so why not take advantage on it? Thanks to my knife, I managed to get some fishes earlierWe didn't get any supplies today so we'll have to find something edible so we won't starve.I roast the fish until it's finally cooked."Hmmm…that smell good""You're finally awake"I put the fish on the leaves I prepared."Get up already, we should already start moving
We run back to where we are earlier."Tsk, that chainsaw freak!"Both me and Micah look back when we heard a male voice cursed, it's my target, oh, he's still here? Hmm this'll probably be the perfect time to kill him."You're probably thinking of killing him but not now, let's find somewhere far away"Micah said and grab my hand.We passed thru the gate, the gate that chainsaw freak destroyed.We look around to find another way that won't let us back to where we are earlier but to our shock we heard the chainsaw sound again.When we look back we saw that old man together with his bloody chainsaw, dang! all the ways here are connected.He laugh when he saw us."That man is boring! I don't like the color of his blood, now then, come and let me see yours!"The three of us run as fast as we could, I can fight with him but nah, I'm also We run back to where we are earlier."Tsk, that chainsaw freak!"Both me and Micah look back when we heard a male voice cursed, it's my target, oh, he's
"Are you done? The ceremony will start soon, they say those who're late will face punishment ""Yeah, coming "We gathered the outside hall and line up, the fourth day pass and now it's the fifth day, it's like a judgement day, they already closed all the exit and those who didn't managed to get out will be punished, I heard that there's still a lot of trapped players inside the maze but the numbers of the people who managed to get out were plenty too."Now then everyone, I hereby congratulate y'all for managing to exit the maze successfully! You all truly is amazing! Our guest enjoyed watching you all from the maze! Why don't you clap for your hand, hmm?"Someone from the screen showed up, it's not a man or woman but just an icon, the voice also sound robotic, she told us to clap out hands but no one did, non of us were happy that while we're risking our life inside the maze, they were just enjoying their selves watching us go insane and kill each other."Oh come on, y'all, don't be
"There's a lot of them, tss, this game won't end if they'll keep on adding and adding players"Micah complain which I completely agree.''Let's just hope that they are Tru to their words when they said this will be the last additional players.""Another 200 players are added! Now the total players were already 276, the more the merrier, isn't it? Now you can kill as many as you want!, Besides there are still a lot of levels and events we prepared for you all, it'll be boring if there are no much players left"The whole crowd is in chaos, it's so noisy too until the speaker speak again."Now, let's go to the last part, 'The punishment'! *Drum roll* I'm sorry, I just really love that drum roll, anyways back to the topic, remember that we told you you're not allowed to kill randomly anymore except for your target as soon as the event starts? Well, there are still those stubborn players who didn't obeyed and still listen to their bloodlust, and we know who they are"The screen changed aga
