The moment we entered the forest area, and each team split off, my heart started pounding harder. My feet followed my teammates, trying not to make any noise.

My eyes glanced at the baton in my hand, and once again regret crept in… why didn’t I learn how to use another weapon? What could this baton possibly do against prehistoric creatures?

We entered a forest with suffocating air. The deeper we went, the hotter it became. Even though the trees were dense enough to block out most of the sunligh

    One of the prehistoric birds dives sharply toward Ash. Fredrick tries throwing a mass of earth at it, but the creature is too agile. It twists away and slashes Ash’s shoulder with its massive claws.“Ash!!” I scream.I try to move forward, but Kael holds me back.“Don’t panic! Stay beside me!” Kael growls.How can I not panic? My friend is bleeding just a few feet away from us. There’s no way I can stand still and leave Ash in danger!“Ash is hurt! She could die, Kael!” I shout desperately.“I told you not to panic! We can get out of this if we work together and stay calm!”“To hell with staying calm!! My friend needs me!”I yank myself free from Kael and run toward Ash.Dozens of screeches echo from every direction. They’re no longer attacking from one side only. The prehistoric birds begin surrounding us. They fly low through the tall grass, revealing razor-sharp wing edges.We’re trapped in the middle of an open field with nowhere to hide.“Damian! Fly and distract them!” Fredrick

    The moment we entered the forest area, and each team split off, my heart started pounding harder. My feet followed my teammates, trying not to make any noise.My eyes glanced at the baton in my hand, and once again regret crept in… why didn’t I learn how to use another weapon? What could this baton possibly do against prehistoric creatures?We entered a forest with suffocating air. The deeper we went, the hotter it became. Even though the trees were dense enough to block out most of the sunlight.“It feels like we’re going in circles.” Fredrick stopped and looked around. “You guys notice that?”Kael only glanced at him briefly without stopping. “Keep walking.”No one dared argue with Kael.First, he had an incredibly sharp sense of smell. Maybe he could detect tracks if we were walking the same route again. Second, he had instincts.I lost track of how long we’d been walking, but my legs were aching badly. Eventually, the trees began to thin out. Sunlight slipped through the gaps in t

    I walked out of the training room, passing other participants who were rushing toward the dining hall. Curious, I followed them, walking along the pedestrian path without hurrying.The digital announcement board was no longer showing static numbers like it had for the past few days. My heart dropped when I saw the words “Phase Two.”Below it was a list of names, one group consisting of five people. I only focused on finding my name, with whom?Team 5Fredrick Truman – Earth Channeler, Kael Mason – Wolf Shifter, Ash Lehtonen – Aqua Channeler, Damian Bellamy – Avian Shifter, Maddie Lytwin – Unidentified.My eyes widened. Fate was playing with me.At the moment, I was afraid to be near Kael because of our earlier argument. I had to be on the same team with him? Not to mention Damian, who clearly showed his hostility toward me.Great, oh… great!There was a light nudge on my shoulder. When I turned, Fredrick was already beside me.“We’re on the same team,” he said with a smile.“Yeah, I’l

    I flinched and stumbled forward, almost falling. When I turned around, I met a pair of dim golden eyes staring at me sharply.“K-Kael…” My tongue suddenly went numb.I didn’t even know what I wanted to say to him. My own stupid determination had brought me here, yet the moment Kael stood in front of me, everything in my head just vanished. His scent alone made my thoughts go numb.I kept thinking about that erotic dream with Kael—how real it felt. And it shouldn’t even be my concern. The arena and the game should be my priority.“What are you looking for here? Something? Or someone?” Kael asked in a low voice.I should’ve just said I was looking for a new baton. End of conversation. Safe. Simple.But no… I wanted more than that. Because after this, I might not get another chance to talk to Kael in a “calm” situation.“I’m looking for you,” I said, forcing the words out.Kael didn’t move. He just stared at me like a predator watching its prey. Silence stretched between us.This wasn’t

    I pushed the cabin door open immediately and saw Ash lying on the bed. Her pale face wasn’t from any injury, but from exhaustion—and I could tell she was just as shaken as I was.I quickly grabbed a bottle of water and dampened a cloth to wipe her forehead.“Ash, drink this. You need a lot of rest,” I whispered.Ash nodded and looked at me. “I don’t know if I can keep going in this game, Maddie. We almost died. So many people have already died!”“I know. But we can’t stop, Ash.”“Yes, we can,” she said weakly. “I’d rather be shot by soldiers than keep playing and still end up dying anyway.”I held her hand tighter. “No one else is going to die. That’s exactly why we have to work together. Trust me. We can survive.”Even as the words left my mouth, they sounded like something impossible—like a dream spoken in broad daylight. Maybe we could survive the next few phases. But in the end… There would only be one winner. The rest would only become names people remembered.“I’ll always stay w

    Dragging Kael’s body to the infirmary made my bones and muscles scream in pain. Still, I forced myself forward, supporting him every step of the way. Kael grunted, struggling to steady his increasingly unbalanced steps.A sharp acidic smell rose from the deep wound in his abdomen, even though Kael was pressing it tightly with his arm. Greenish fluid mixed with blood seeped through his fingers. My anxiety spiked. This wound might not be easy to heal. There were no giant cedar trees here. No natural antidote for spider venom.The participants still inside the infirmary quickly moved aside when I entered. I half-dropped Kael onto one of the beds and immediately rushed to the medicine cabinet. I grabbed antiseptic and alcohol, then hurried back to him. Without hesitation, I tore his shirt wider at the abdomen.“This is gonna sting,” I said, breathing hard.“Déjà vu,” he growled.“A lot.”Kael hissed as I poured alcohol over the gaping wound in his abdomen. The remaining green fluid began

    Once we all passed through the gates, a ship was waiting ahead of us. One by one, the participants boarded it. Some collapsed onto the floor the moment they stepped inside. I did not count how many from Team Radon survived, but I knew we had lost many. Too many seats were left empty.My gaze drifte

    “And how are we supposed to attack the broodmother?” Damian’s voice sounded behind me.I turned around and saw him utterly exhausted, his breathing ragged, sweat soaking his clothes. Despair was apparent in Damian’s eyes, and not just his, but everyone’s here. He strode toward me and grabbed my col

    Sweat dripped from my forehead onto the floor as I knelt there, completely drained. I’d been training nonstop since yesterday—from the crack of dawn until midnight—until my palms were raw and my whole body felt crushed.Along with that, my spirit and energy started to crumble. No matter how hard I

    “What were you thinking you’re doing?! Move!” one of my attackers barked.Kael’s scoff cut through the air. “Three against one. Doesn’t that sound a little pathetic for Strains?”I felt the heavy intimidation rolling off Kael’s deep voice. Not only was I frozen, but the men in front of me had gone
