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 drifted to Kael, sitting alone in a corner. No one dared to sit near him. I stayed beside Ash. The stench of rot, blood, and sweat filled the ship. This was not the smell of victory. It was the smell of delayed death.We returned to Radon territory and were shoved off the ship like livestock being herded back into their pens. Even those who were injured received no concern from the guards.When I glanced at Kael again, his usually firm stride looked unsteady. He forced himself upright, as if pretending he was fine.I supported Ash as we headed toward our cabin, overhearing hushed conversations among the others. After Phase One, every face was marked by trauma. Even speaking felt dangerous. Days of

“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 collar impatiently.“Your brain better be useful. Think of something!”His grip loosened when a spider lunged at us. Ash countered it with her power, but it wasn’t fatal. She only sent the spider flying backward. Even Ash’s strength had its limits.I had to do something. Yes, I knew that. But that was all I could think about while cheating death in a place where it lurked everywhere. I ran toward a more sheltered spot, not to escape, but to observe. I had to know the broodmother’s weakness. She had to have one.As participants were slaughtered one by one, everyone scattered. Staying together would only make us easy prey for the broodmother. I stayed where I was, hidden, carefully watching her m

Part of my idea was accepted by the team leader. We used cedar leaves to mask our scent, while making spears was deemed a waste of time. And yes, they were all Strains with advantages, unique powers of their own. So we moved quickly, pressing cedar leaves over our bodies and securing them with sap from the trees.The sharp resin smell rising from everyone made my head spin.We continued the journey despite the night and the increasingly suffocating air. The oxygen we breathed felt limited, as if it had to be shared with the dense forest around us. I started to feel drained from the lack of air, but I forced myself into a light run, keeping up with the others.The deeper we went, the more pungent the spiders’ nauseating stench became. Even the tree trunks were wrapped in thick webs. When touched, they were sticky and left behind a disgust I knew I would never forget.The team leader, whom I now knew as Fredrick, warned us not to touch the spider silk. The tension in those strands was e

As we walked, I listened to the avian shifter chatter on, explaining the situation.“There are no signs of spiders ahead. We’re on the right track,” he said with a hint of arrogance.“How far to the third outpost?” asked one of the participants who seemed to be leading the group.“I don’t know. But about three miles from here, near the forest’s peak, the trees are almost completely covered in spider webs.”“Can’t you see more clearly from above? Your vision is better than ours.”“Excuse me?” The avian shifter sounded annoyed. “Are you ordering me around? I need to conserve my energy, too. We haven’t had any food since yesterday morning.”The leader didn’t reply, only snorted in irritation. With a hand signal, he ordered everyone to stop and rest for a while. I sat beside Ash, blending in among the other participants.My gaze kept drifting toward him. He still seemed to have far more energy than the rest. Suddenly, he looked straight at me. At first, I thought he was staring at someone

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

“Spiders,” Kael hissed.I should have known better. There were no other animals here besides the spiders. They sat at the very top of the food chain. Nothing survived against a pack of giant, venomous, eight-legged monsters.One of them lunged, its mandibles clicking impatiently. In a flash, Kael de

Kael brushed his lips against mine—just for a second—and it made me blink in surprise. Then he kissed me again, deeper this time, consuming me until my thoughts began to blur.I should have fought him. Or pushed him away. But I didn’t want to.Kael’s hands slid from my waist to my shoulders, then do

My hands started to tingle. My thighs ached and felt numb. Clinging to the tree trunk like this was far from comfortable. The only good thing was the view from up here. From the tropical forest below, I saw tall bushes rustling. Something was moving toward me, fast and agile. I blinked. Was
