Hsiao-Han.
The reason for him disappearing from combat sports years back was because of blackmail. This was also the reason he was here now.
Hsiao-Han is comparable to Andreas's savagery. No, Hsiao-Han was considered a monster in the underground and is not even close to being morally righteous in any manner. If someone were to wrong him or even stare at him wrong when he wasn't in the ring, they would be found close to death, or just outright dead the next day. Hemorrhaging in the brain, broken noses, jaws, contorted faces, indented skulls.
He was a psychopath through and through. He would fight anyone and anything. It was all he lived for after all. One day though, he met a boy.
He was going to kill this boy - Hsiao-Han had told the boy to fight him. The boy didn't know what was going to happen to him but he complied gleefully. A boy with the potential to become an amazing fighter.
The boy's determination threw Hsiao-Han off. He didn't know how to
"Remember when we first met?" Seth started off, sitting in the middle of a ruined street."Yeah, I do." Nixon is laying down right next to Seth, looking up at a smog covered sky."It was in the middle of Washington in winter. I was nineteen then and you were twenty-one. You had Hunter with you, she was really cute then. I... 'accidentally' killed some people who worked under you." Seth pauses, looking over to Nixon. "You know that was self-defense right?"Seth doesn't even let Nixon open his mouth and continues on."Of course you do," Seth pauses again, trying to remember what happened after that. "Then you invited me into your crew... I had the book and I was the only one good enough at navigating to bring us where we wanted. We went across almost all of the midwest. A lot of shit happened then. Everyone wanted this map, all we wanted was some treasure since we didn't really believe that shit was real, and well, we couldn't really give up even if we want
Seth is shaking hands with Andreas while others are sitting on Seth's bed."Nice to meet you Seth, my name is Andreas Valerius Hunt."Seth's eyes widen in surprise and Andreas laughs."I get to finally see your eyes!" Andreas stops, Seth's eyes are the same color as his. "Now that's interesting?""My full name is Seth Alpheus Hunt. I wonder..."Andreas chuckles to himself, letting go of Seth's hand. "It's probably just chance. Lots of people meet across the world and lots of them have similar last names."Andreas tries walking away and Seth stops him with a question. "Where were you born? How old are you?"Andreas turns round to look at Seth. "I'm nineteen years old, born in Italy.""Right... sorry. I almost mistook you for someone else, but it doesn't change the fact that we're related."Logan coughs on his spit and Eremita's eyes widen. Yua is slightly surprised but doesn't care enough about them to really be all that
Crashing can be heard above them. Seth listens carefully as everyone else gets acquainted with one another. By this point, Nixon is already awake, making conversation with Andreas. Seth quickly jumps onto one of the beds to reach the ceiling, grazing his hand across it. Everyone watches Seth in confusion, Nixon only just realizing what's wrong listens in carefully as well."What the hell are you doing?" Yua asks, getting up from the bed, Logan stays on the bed, watching Seth feel the ceiling. Andreas continues to try to have a conversation with Nixon."Why is the ceiling...?" Seth whispers under his breath. Andreas stops talking to Nixon, bringing his attention to the ceiling as well. Andreas backs up from Seth and Nixon and gets closer to the door, leaning on the wall near it.Seth takes out a small pistol in his waistband, firing it into the ceiling above and jumping onto the bed Nixon is on. Yua grabs Logan and runs to the door with him as the ceiling collaps
Engulfed in flames, stomping through the hotel searching for people to indiscriminately kill. He heads to the kitchen and is gunned down by Maid. Lain heads out the back door of the hotel. When outside, she spots gleams of light appearing from far away, stopping her from moving any further. Instead, she heads up the hotel, a rope coming from the roof of the hotel.She climbs up the rope and heads to the third floor, spotting Seth and the group following behind him. Lain sighs, "De alguma forma, eles bateram nela." (Looks like she was defeated somehow.)Lain jumps off of the wall and swings her way into the same floor as them, breaking the window. She lands, taking out two knives, they all notice, spinning around to look at her."Você é um amigo ou você é o inimigo?" (Are you a friend, or are you an enemy?) She pauses, taking a stance. "Porque não importaria de qualquer maneira." (Cause it wouldn't matter either way.)Seth
Seth sprints past the group, heading up a flight of stairs. Seth turns to them with a calm expression. "Run." Seth continues on running to the fourth floor, Nixon following quickly behind him. The rest of them confused look down the staircase, seeing a burning man sprinting towards them. They all start running with Seth and Nixon, heading to the top floor. The only problem is that there are two more floors left until they find their ways to the top.The reason they're heading to the top floor of the hotel is that - that is where the switch box is. They want to completely cut off the power to the entire building. The top floor is also where both Michael and Svilanka are supposed to be because beforehand, Seth had predicted that if things were to go wrong, they'd need a failsafe.Svilanka and Michael were that failsafe. They were told to wait at the top floor for as long as possible until they came up to meet them. Seth gave them an approximate time as well, in quotes, "
The power for the entire hotel was finally turned off. The group sits at the stairs and waits, Eremita looks over to Andreas."Andre," Andreas turns to her, a bored expression on his face."What's up?""I've been wondering for a while but you're doing something that isn't very like you. What are you planning right now?""I'm not really planning much. I just think they know more than me.""More than you? About what?""About what's going on. Frankly, I have no clue what's going on so it's better to go with someone who does.""Aren't you the strongest!? Couldn't you handle this on your own?""Fuck no! I'm still human after all, plus I'm ten years too early to become THE strongest. When I refer to myself as the strongest, I'm only talking about humans. Since I'm still human, I'm still not going to be stronger than a sniper and more. Those two, Seth and Nixon, they're specialized to go against these things. They're the strongest in
[Welcome to the prison/hotel of Tubarão Adormecido. Do not fight, do not escape. You won't be able to even if you tried. You all will face other prisoners of my choosing. They will all try to kill you. Luckily for you, you'll all have a break during curfew against these prisoners and if you are caught wandering around the estate after curfew, you will be killed. I won't tell you how you'll be killed, but you will be killed. If you aren't caught though, you could kill the prisoners that want you dead and take their rooms. You could even be in another prisoner's room and you will still not be violating curfew. Bye!]The doors connected to all of their rooms fly open, slamming onto the wall beside it. Everyone leaves their rooms. Judging by what the man said over the speakers, each side of this prison are opposing sides to each other, so people across the way from these rooms will be the ones who'll have to kill the ones on the opposing side. On this side, it is Seth, Nix
(I should probably put this here from now on but, warning: some of you might not want to read this since this chapter contains some really bad stuff. But I'm guessing you're coming for what you signed up for since I did put this novel in no one 17 or under admitted][The people you can kill are not limited to the people on the other side.]The man behind the speakers frequently gives advice and tips about the prison. The cafeterias are separated as not to create chaos, but the hallway connecting to each of the cafeterias are connected, so most have to find a way inside without getting killed. Luckily none of them encountered anyone as they were entering.There were a lot of people they didn't know, another thing they didn't know was how many rooms there actually were on their side. Beforehand though, Andreas asked Eremita to check all of the rooms to see how many there were and she counted it to be around twenty rooms, which means there are around forty people i
