"Just keep swimming~ just keep swimming~"
Is this what Dori felt in the movie, Finding Nemo? Except, no one is eating her tail?
I looked at my tail who became thinner than before. I felt sad but happy at the same time.
Did I get thin? I mean, if my tail is my real feet, well soul feet, and since I'm fat, well chubby to be exact if my tail became thin, does that mean I also became thin?
I grinned but no one can see that.
However, what if I just lost blood, muscles, and so on?
Wait, I'm a ghost! I don't have that!
Oh, what if I just lost some of my parts in my body as a soul?
Arghh! This is confusing as hell! I better ask this to those voices later!
For now, I have to at least finish the game! This round first!
Ignoring the pain of my whole body, I keep swimming and still seeing no end.
Looking around, I noticed that the crowd seems to be fewer than before. It was like a whole city camping together when the game started but now probably half of them are gone.
I wonder how many players are left. I'm happy the crowd lessens as I don't like crowds but some of them are players too.
How many players are there certainly? And how many sperms left?
I shook my head, it's none of my business. Why do I care? Sigh...
Just as I swim once again after that thought, a light blinded us from above us and new information below the round one was added.
[ROUND ONE: VAGINAL ACIDITY]
[SPERM COUNT: 54M/107M]
[PLAYERS: 45/45]
Oh, now that's informative! Whoever adds that info, good job! Right on time! Well, probably late to be honest but it's better than nothing!
There are still players here and none died. That's good, it's boring to die in the first round without seeing the other side.
I just hope I'm not the first one to die.
And also, the guy who produced 'bullets', well I prefer to call us bullets than sperm, that guy is healthy.
As I recall, a man can produce 90 million to 150 million sperms, if it's below then that man isn't healthy and has low chances to make women pregnant.
In short, infertile.
Welp, that's not my problem.
I continued to swim and ignored everything else.

~Enchantrix Meeting Room~
"Virus! What the heck? Why did you add counts? Giving more information to players might cause chaos. Besides, they wouldn't even care about those counts, why bother?!" A system bursts out her anger when new information was brought to the race.
Virus gave off a mocking face, "Huh! Sucks to be you, Faya, one sperm did care!"
Faya raised her left brow. Confusion as hell, she didn't know how to retort. For all she knows, humans are selfish and greedy. Those counts wouldn't even help them, so why bother thinking those?
Another sperm pats Faya's shoulder, "It's fine, it's just a small piece of information. I know you're worried the same thing might happen again but it won't be."
"Ivy..." Faya bit her lip, she knows she was exaggerating but she was scared that players might learn that this isn't just a race, it's a test.
And what if they learn how to pass it even if they can't finish it? Then, the same thing will happen again.
Ivy reassured with a bitter truth and an eerie smile, "We will eliminate all those who found out the other way to win the game."
"Keke, agreed." Virus let out the same smile.
And here Faya thought Ivy was on her side.
V, beside Virus, facepalm. "Eliminate is a big word for you two, how about learn the word disqualified?"
Virus and Ivy stared at each other then shrugged, "Same thing,"
The other system just chuckled and continues its job.
Then, not a moment later, a request pops up from their screen.
[REQUEST VOTE: 1/11]
PLAYER NAME: Kiera Dion
REASON:
-Interesting lad
JOB CHOICE:
-Uncertain
Everyone shook their head, this is probably the one who asked those counts. And seeing Virus grinning at them confirms it.
On the other hand, V added something. After all, he had seen her thoughts before even now. He may be quiet but he took notes on what she was doing after taking interest in her way of thinking.
And now Virus requested a vote, he didn't see why not add her?
[REQUEST VOTE: 2/11]
PLAYER NAME: Kiera Dion
REASON:
-Interesting lad
-Logical somewhat
JOB CHOICES:
-Hidden Boss
-Protectors
From what V understands about her from earlier till now, Kiera is kind and caring, good for Protectors. However, it seems due to her experience about her life, and seeing how calm and curious she is, she could be a Hidden Boss.
Well, those are the choices, the decision of her will matter IF she got requested on or even win.
More than half of the vote is needed to pass.

~KIERA, at nine years old when she was still alive~
'I'm bored...'
I've played with myself, I created paper dolls and just news on the television. There's nothing to do!
As always, I am alone at home but that's better, I feel so comfortable but bored to death.
I puffed my cheeks and went to mom's room. I opened the terrace and stayed there for freshly polluted air.
'Ahh, I can smell the vehicle's smoke, neighbor's lunch, and... Kids' sweat in the air? Eww!'
Then, I heard children's laughter below where our terrace is. Those boys are certainly the neighbor's kids.
Staring at them I felt jealous. I want to play with them but I'm not friends with them, they don't even know me.
Should I introduce myself? Hmm, that's embarrassing.
I've never introduced myself first. Yes, I'm a shy type and prefer to be alone. But I'm bored right now.
How about skip the introduction and go straight to playing?
Yes! Let's play!
I searched around and found a small rock. So I went inside then came back with a paper that has the word 'friend?' written on it and cover the rock with the paper.
I threw it down but I regret it fast!
"Aww!"
They looked up and I hid fast.
I didn't mean to hit one of them! I'm sorry!
But I'm scared and embarrassed! What should I do?
I feel so guilty!
Then a thought came to my mind...
"Woooh, I'm a ghost~~" Then I crawled my way inside mom's room. Then straight to my room and played with my paper dolls.
Let's pretend I didn't go there at all. Yep, I've been in my room since earlier... A few seconds ago? It can still be said 'earlier'.
The next day, I went out of the house. Unfortunately, I saw those kids yesterday and now with their parents!
I walked straight as nothing happened but I'm shivering. Did they notice that? I hope not!
But ever since they saw me, they were whispering while looking at me. Ahh, annoying. They were gossiping about me, and I hate gossips.
And the stares of those moms of theirs, huh! Rude! I have a mom too!
But I can't tell my mom about this, she already has a lot of problems.
I'll eat this shame myself.
Then I walked to school.
I learned we are schoolmates too... And the same grade...
Fascinating freaky...
The good news is, the public school is wide for us not to see each other if I avoid them and we have different sections far from each other!
May our path not collide, kid. I don't want to be your playmate anymore.
Well, I've never been your playmate at all.
A few days later, as I ignored them, and avoided them, my peaceful mind came back.
Until now...
Mom brought a woman with a kid at home.
She's mom's friend who escaped from the kid's father from their province.
The kid's father is the leader of that place and powerful with lots of scary connection. It's not a gang type scenario.
They are Muslim, and she was somewhat princess in her province. She was raped by the kid's father and couldn't escape from his grasp until now.
They changed the name and so on and mom let them sleep here for a couple of months until they get out of the country. They needed passports and so on with that and mom has connections that could help but it will take a while.
I may be a kid, but I have a keen hearing so even if they didn't tell me, I know by accidentally eavesdropping.
They let their guard down as I'm a kid after all.
And I know the word 'rape' as I've seen live p*rn in the province and mom was raped by papa.
But I also know that is bad, of course.
I shrugged. Welp, at least now I have a new playmate!
I was so excited and happy!
But reality sucks... At that age, that time, that day... I finally learned what the harsh word in this world...
Responsibility.
This is why I better be alone.

END of CHAPTER FOUR
"Merry Christmas" Hohoho~"Sperm... No!" Kiera's eyes opened as wide as it gets as she was shocked by the dream she had. She clutched her chest and sit up straight, "Ha, ha," she breathes fast and was still looking for more air.Inhale... Exhale...After she calms down, she looked around."This..." She was stunned to see the place she's at. She's in a big red bed in a big room full of red walls. "Am I in a horror house? Well, being a sperm is much scarier than staying in this place... Where am I?""No! You are not in a horror house! That's a wrong theme!" Suddenly, there was a voice that she couldn't find.
~KIERA at present~"Argh!" As I swim to nowhere, I groaned. I didn't look back anymore, I don't wanna see my tail no more. If I still have it.How long have I been swimming? That, I don't know. But this hella place is so annoying! Why is it vast?! Why is it extended?!Maybe it isn't large nor long, have I been swimming around?Nope! That can't be, I can't be lost here.My instincts told me the way is just ahead. It's probably long. I must swim fast, I don't know how long I can handle the acidity in here.And I don't know how thin did I become. Will I even make it?
~KIERA, at present~"Almost there!" I can see the door to the next stage just a few feet from me! I can do it!However, I'm not the only sperm who's going in that direction. Some sperms swim fast as they entered that door.I stumbled as I couldn't take this current wave of sperms. I stayed in one place while getting bounced off everywhere.'Ahh, will I make as the last one again? Or couldn't anymore?'While rolling and bouncing around, I got a good look at my body that I tried to ignore.This is bad, now that I see it, I could feel the horrid pain. Visuals are everything when it comes to pain no matter what your mind says. That's me.
~KIERA, at present~[ROUND TWO: CERVIX! MUCUS TRAP!][SPERM COUNT: 10M/107M][PLAYERS: 45/45]I don't know why but there is a sperm who just helped me up to get to this round. And that sperm is just beside me, swimming together.I felt like I had a bodyguard. I'm sure this is a player too but why would he or she help me? I could be the first one to die in this race.However, with this shiny sperm's help, I survived back there.When we reached the 2nd round, something weird is going on.The sperm count abruptly dropped...[ROUND TWO: CERVIX! M
~KIERA, at present~It stopped... That mucus that almost attacked me, stopped!And it stopped just a half-inch away from my poor beautiful face!Argh! I could see how gooey and big it is! It's almost the same size as me! Is this what it feels like when you get to see your close up booger mucus?Though cervical mucus is much clearer than the booger, the thought of it being a mucus still bother me!Fortunately, it stopped and didn't attack me. How disgusting it would be?The sperm behind me who was the reason for this event was also stunned to see what's happening. That sperm slowly come out from behind me however, the mucus wiggles once more in front of us and it scares that sperm which hid in my back once again.That sperm is like a leech, sticking to me, and rather than zapping my blood, this sperm made me a shield!&n
(A/N: Before we start this chapter, just a little heads up in case my sweet Trix readers would get confused. This arc is like a knowing-each-other arc. Here, you'll likely understand Kiera and the other players. Hence, it is more about their pasts and how the system chooses them. The race was more likely the bonus hehe~ Have fun!).......~ARLO~My life was a perfect one, well even the end of it was perfect. I got a perfect family, a perfect school, perfect friends, and... perfect me.Well, that's what I think. Jealous people would be... jealous. Hence, they always had that frown on their faces every time they saw my family, especially me.When I just got born, my parents locked me up in my tower, my room for how many years. They said, 'I wasn't ready for the world to
~ARLO~SwwhhhhPsshhh"Puwah! Please stop- I-" A man begged in front of us however he couldn't speak properly as Lyka is holding his face and kept drowning him.Lyka is my sister, we were only months apart. And we have an older brother, Ratty, who's two years older than us.We are the only children that survived, as of now, of Farjo Family, the great family of Fhirklin country.To receive the surname Farjo, it's not that easy and we must earn it by ourselves and not casually given.We, children, must pass the test which when we were younger, was given to us. The Test of Obedience. Where we were thrown out to the forest and only do what our parents say or else we'll die.For those kids who die, it was their fault for not being obedient. The maids and the people who took care of those children will also perish as
~ARLO~'Argh, I can't believe I died just like that.'I won the duel even though I don't like it and think it was unnecessary, I still won one versus two and became the Head of the Farjo Family.That title is a burden, I killed my siblings, which is the twins to get that. I didn't mean it to be honest but somehow, my survival instincts kicked in.My parents were proud of me, even Ratty and Lyka. I forgive them for pointing a sword at me, I understand where they stand.I don't know why but somehow having parents like that, made me sad. Having a family is great but I got scared when I have to kill some of the members of my family to survive.Seriously, I can give the damn title!I sighed.I also can't believe I died like that.The first year of being the head of my fami
