Alpha of the Deadly Arena 38
We walked along the deserted street. I clutched my baton tightly, my grip so tense that I could hear my own heartbeat.Fighting a Psyon was a nightmare. They were more terrifying than any other Strain.From what Ash had told me, they could attack from multiple directions. One possible way to take them down was to surround them, although Ash said that was nearly impossible.Even if we managed to do it, someone in the group would likely end up dead.It was terrifying.“Can you sense it?” Kael asked as he walked beside me.I turned toward him. “That Psyon?”“Yeah. I can barely catch his scent.” He drew in a breath. “He's following us.”“Are we going to end up dead?”“He's alone. We'll surround him.”And risk one of us getting killed? That was exactly what I was afraid of.Still, I nodded at Kael's suggestion, even though I had no idea whether it would work.I didn't want to become a burden to the others. We had to protect one another, especially since Loki was still injured. Someone woul

So we were just going to stand there and let Loki get slowly beaten to death?I understood the need to be rational. I understood strategy, and I knew that if we acted recklessly, we could all end up dead.But this wasn't about that! Letting someone die when we could help was a crime!I shifted forward, ready to move, but this time Kael caught my arm. He shook his head, fixing me with a sharp stare.“No, Maddie,” he hissed.I stared at him in disbelief. “Are you kidding me? You're just going to let him die?”“We'd better keep moving. Don't stop for anyone. Any Radon survivors who are still alive can make their own way to Liberty,” Damian remarked quietly.I shook off Kael's grip and turned to Damian.“What if there aren't any others? What if we're the only ones left when we need ten people?” I argued. “I swore an oath to help the injured, whether they're good or bad. I can't just leave Loki.”“We're in Legendary Trinity, not your district.”“Whatever. You can all leave if you want. I'm

I walked beside Kael, remaining quiet.We followed the dried-up drainage tunnel. Despite the lack of water, the damp smell and moss-covered walls made the air around us feel bone-chillingly cold.Now and then, I glanced over my shoulder to make sure no one was following us. We'd already covered quite a distance, and I had no idea what was happening outside.Was dawn approaching? Or was it still dark?“What's wrong?” Kael asked in a whisper, making me turn toward him.He held my gaze, and I could smell his scent growing stronger. It was strangely soothing.“Nothing,” I replied before turning my attention back to my companions walking ahead.“Don't worry. We'll make it through this game.”I didn't answer right away. There were too many thoughts racing through my head.“How long will this game keep going? Until all the Strains go extinct, like the Dragon Shifters?” I asked.Kael drew in a breath and let it out slowly. “Probably.”“We're human too, Kael. What makes us different from Natur

In one swift movement, barely taking a breath, the Shifters surrounding me were already sprawled across the ground. I caught the scent of fresh blood and heard a deep growl.“Kael?” My voice came out hoarse.I heard Kael breathing heavily as he approached me. Even in the pitch-black darkness, I could see his cold expression clearly.He didn't look tense or frightened. Not a single emotion flickered across his face. It was as if the battle raging around us was nothing more than a passing breeze.One of the Shifters crawled backward, his voice trembling with fear. Kael stared at him for a moment.“Just go. If I ever see you again, I'll kill you,” Kael hissed.One of them managed to survive, while the other two… had lost their lives.Kael turned to us. “Hurry. They'll come after us. Follow me. Now.”Ash and Fredrick got to their feet with quiet groans, then switched on their flashlights. We ran after Kael, making our way out of the subway tunnel, which had turned out to be just as danger

No, not just one… There were several of them, and they were getting closer.“Several people are approaching.”“Are you sure?” Ash asked warily, already preparing to use his water-channeling ability.I nodded slowly. “I'm positive.”“How many?” Ash asked again, his expression serious. “I can't see anything up ahead, Maddie.”“I'm not sure. They all have different scents.”Fredrick looked at me. “Scents? What are you talking about?”“Just turn off the flashlights for now!” I ordered.Fredrick furrowed his brow, giving me a questioning look as if he suspected something.Ash and Fredrick exchanged glances, but I said nothing. Instead, I closed my eyes again and focused on separating the scents flooding my nostrils.“They're… their scents are coming from behind us,” I whispered, tension rising in my voice.I didn't know how I could tell, either. But ever since the change, my body had felt different. All my senses had become incredibly sharp, growing even more sensitive whenever I focused o

We continued down the damp, chilly corridor, where a faint breeze brushed against our skin. My instincts told me there was nothing down here, just darkness.At least, our escape had taken us far enough away from the other players.I stopped at the end of the corridor and crouched down. Ash and Fredrick did the same. Whatever movement I made, they followed suit.“We’re going down here. Be careful,” I said. “We’ll keep following this path.”“Oh, my God. Are you sure about this, Maddie? I can’t see a thing.”I ignored Ash’s protests and descended the steps. The soles of my shoes scraped against the cold concrete and long metal plates beneath my feet. I could smell the rust.The two of them climbed down carefully and caught up with me. Fredrick sniffed the air, then bent down and touched the ground beneath us.“Rails,” he said without hesitation. “Are we in a subway tunnel?”I shrugged. “Yeah, looks like it. I’ve never seen a subway before.”“We have them where I’m from.”“Me too,” Ash ch

Too much information was making my head dizzy. Turns out these Strains weren’t as simple as I thought. To put it bluntly, they were anomalies among humans. And their numbers kept decreasing, because ever since the Legendary Trinity was held, almost 80 percent of the participants were Strains.Even

I followed the others through the gate and felt the air shift into something… different. Above us was a glass dome acting as the sky. Surrounding me were trees I'd only ever heard about in storybooks. A narrow path of damp soil stretched ahead, carrying a scent so distinct—one I had never smelled b

I stepped into the booth after the first post and was ordered to sit down. Of course, I didn’t resist—there were soldiers with rifles standing at every booth, watching closely.“Hands,” a staff member said, grabbing my wrists and pulling them onto the chair’s armrests.In one swift, rough motion, h

From afar, I saw tiny black dots in the sky—growing larger as they came closer. Their arrival brought a constant roar, the sound of the rotors making my heartbeat pound even harder. Our district was rarely visited by the government—once every three years, to be exact. And when those helicopters cam
