The bunnies continued to grow until they reached the size of a fully grown human. Still, the sky continues to darken. Later on, silhouettes of big flying creatures swirled in the sky. Their wings are large enough to cast big shadows on the ground. “Aren’t those nighthawks?” one spectator asked. “Yes, but they are abnormally ginormous,” another commented. One of the giant nighthawks swooped from the air to capture a rabbit. Some of the players are fascinated to see the action. Everything was fine until the other nighthawks also swooped from the sky one by one and started to attack randomly. They also started preying on the humans. “Hey. Is this still normal?” Frenz worried. Suddenly, “Help me!” a man shouted as he struggles to escape the claws of a nighthawk that was pinning him on the ground. The giant hawk, then, pecked the man’s head and ripped it off from its body. Everybody was shocked to see the horrifying scene. “Hey, what’s going on?” a player whispered with a frighte
Marco is disappointed to hear what Jonas said. “Chill Bro! Let them be!” he said to Jonas.“What the hell is wrong with you!?” Frenz shouted to Jonas while crying.“Tch!”The aftermath of the Game Event is very depressing. Lifeless and mutilated bodies of players are scattered in the area. The surviving players are crying after the loss of their friends and loved ones. Some are still traumatized and are just gazing blankly. Some can’t comprehend the agonizing event they experienced.Marco opened his UI and opened his Friend List Panel. He checked the User Information of both Sheena and Lahra. He saw that it was already grayed out and the word ‘DECEASED’ already replaced their names at the top of the Information window. Marco curled his fist out of anger and disbelief.Moments later, turmoil started between the players and the Starting Point Guide. Marco walked towards the commotion; the rest followed.“Why did you do this to us?” a player cried.“What did we do to deserve this?”“Don’t
After hours of walking, the group found a pond in a distant area. “Uggghhh, my feet are getting hurt,” Frenz moaned. “It’s already getting dark. I think we should get some rest here,” Marco said. “Is it safe here? I don’t know... I mean, after all that happened a while ago… It’s so hard not to be uneasy,” Arianne’s concern. “True!” Frenz affirmed. “Well, we have no choice but to settle first,” Marco said. “Are you okay Ma’am Arianne? If you need something, just tell us,” the wounded bodyguard said to Arianne. “I’m okay! I’m more concerned about you. Are you alright?” “Don’t worry about me, Ma’am! It’s just small scratches and few wounds.” “I just want to thank you for trying to save me a while ago. But… if something happens to me next time, please don’t risk your lives for me.” Arianne politely requested. “But Ma’am, your safety is our top priority. That’s the order given to us by your family,” the other guard insisted. “No! You also need to be safe! And you should look afte
An Event has been triggered!” Marco exclaimed. “Quick! Check the details!” Virgo instructed. “Freeeeenz!!” Arii wailed out of worry. Seconds later, “Bwaaaaappp!”. Frenz emerged from the water! “I’m.. okay! It… only…. got my shoe!” Frenz exclaimed as he try to spit water from his mouth and catch his breath. They quickly helped Frenz crawl out from the shore. “What is it? What happened to you?” Arii asked. “I didn’t see!... We must ... get out of here!” Frenz said while still panicking. “AAAAAAAyyyy!” Arii and Frenz screamed as a bizarre creature suddenly emerged from the water. They quickly scattered and fled in terror. “AAAahhhh! Get away from me!” Frenz screamed as the creature keeps on chasing him on the land. “It’s only going after Frenz!” Virgo noticed. “What is that thing? It’s like a crocodile with a shell of a tortoise.” Samson commented. Marco quickly opened his UI to check the Trigger Event Details, “‘Buhagong’s Hunger’ …. It says we should kill that thing before
“Wait, you’re……” Mikaila asked. “There’s no time! Quick! Follow me!” Nikko invited. Mikaila took a glimpse at the two fighting animals. She saw that they were distracted. “Wait!” Mikaila said to Nikko. “What are you planning to do?” Mikaila sprinted towards Celly’s incapacitated body. “What are you doing? Leave her! She’s already dead!” Nikko pointed out. Moments after, Mikaila ran towards Nikko. “What’s going on?” Mikaila asked. Nikko didn’t answer. He just ran off and asked Mikaila to follow him. “Here, let’s go!” Nikko said as he climbed up a tree. A loud roar coming from the ape was heard. “Hurry up!” “Okay!” Mikaila began climbing. While climbing, they saw the ape approaching them. The two climbed faster. When the ape came, Mikaila was already high up for the ape to reach while standing. Mikaila felt relieved. But unexpectedly, The ape jumped and reached Mikaila’s foot. The ape pulled down Mikaila and ferociously beat her to a pulp. Nikko saw how Mikaila was bea
“….It’s… it’s the Guide!” Mikaila exclaimed as they discover that their guide is one of the dead people. “But... but why!? I don’t understand.” The lady becomes more terrified. Mikaila continued, “What exactly happened here? We left and headed to the forest before the Event started. I wasn’t able to witness everything.” “Same with me. My group went to the forest as soon as we crossed the Portal.” Nikko responded, “The big animals killed these people.” “Can you elaborate, please?” the lady requested. “When the Game Event started, the sky suddenly became dark. The birds grew and started attacking people. Big wolves came out from the forest and ravaged. People started to panic. After that, I set off to look for…” Nikko paused. “....for Mikaila. That’s it.” “I still don’t understand,” the lady said. “We don’t know the exact details. But one thing is for sure, the Game Event had something to do with this.” Nikko nodded. “I think we should find the way out now,” the lady suggested.
“It’s closing!” Mika said. The Portal continued shrinking and completely closed. The three were surprised and dumbfounded. “So… what now?” Lumine asked. “We really need to find another way out,” Mika answered. “We’ll do that tomorrow,” Nikko butted in. Mika agreed, “I agree. It’s too dangerous to travel at the night.” Lumine sighed, “Well, we have no choice.” They all accepted to spend the night at the top of the trees. Later on, Lumine noticed something about Mika. “By the way, Mika, why are your clothes like that?” she asked. “What do you mean?” “They’re all torn and ragged. What happened to you earlier?” Nikko butted in, “An ape killed her. But she rose from the dead.” “A what now?” Lumine’s confused expression. “Uh - eh,” Mika tried to explain what happened without mentioning the secret of why she survived the attack. Lumine is still confused, “I don’t understand Nikko. Is he joking or something?” “No. It’s true,” Mika mumbled. “What!? That’s crazy! How’d that happe
Mika moved closer to Nikko and Lumine’s spot to confirm. “You… you’re right! The bodies are gone!” Mika exclaimed. The three climbed down the tree and walked towards the Starting Point which was full of dead bodies earlier. When they arrived at the area and looked closer, they confirmed that all bodies were gone. All that was left are the players’ wristbands. “Have you witnessed what happened here?” Mika asked Lumine. “No,” Lumine answered. “I just woke up and noticed that Nikko is not around. I walked around the bridging branches to search for him. I found him staring at this field with a shocked face. I asked him what was wrong but he didn’t answer, so I walked closer to find it out myself. And then that’s it! The dead bodies are miraculously gone!” she narrated. Mika is confused and shocked at the same time. She stooped down to grab one of the wristbands lying on the ground. She found out that the wristband is not functioning anymore and it is also not glowing. While staring a
