Chapter 50: Murders In the Broken Mists───── ❝ R U B Y F R I D A Y ' S P O V ❞ ────║ Gregorian Calendar ║ 02 - 24 - 2027 ║║ Wednesday║ (D - 2) Before the Commencement of Olympia's Cup║The targets were still shaking as the last arrow hit its mark. I lowered my bow, wiping the sweat from my brow. Practice had been grueling as always, but we needed to be ready for the challenges ahead.My teammates slumped to the ground, their energy spent from the morning's exertions. We dared not slacken our training, for the dangers that lay ahead demanded vigilance and precision.The coming quest was a perilous one, fraught with unknown threats and ancient evils. Everyday, I overhead other student's dread as they spoke in hush tones that many had ventured into those treacherous depths of the game, yet none had returned. I gazed out across the practice field, my eyes landing on the forest's edge. Dark trees loomed, the shadows within seeming to move and shift. Foolish were those who underestimated

Chapter 51: Together ───── ❝ R U B Y F R I D A Y ' S P O V ❞ ──── ║ Gregorian Calendar ║ 02 - 24 - 2027 ║ ║ Wednesday║ (D - 2) Before the Commencement of Olympia's Cup║ I walk out of the archery room in a daze, my mind reeling with the horrific sight I just witnessed — the lifeless body of that student lies sprawled on the floor. My hands tremble uncontrollably as the scene plays over and over in my mind. I imagine the sickening thud of the arrow hitting flesh, the choked gasps he did as he clutched at the protruding shaft in disbelief in that moment of his death. Perhaps, that's how it got hell for him. I tried to tell myself it was just my imagination, that same old paranoia rearing its ugly head again. But, no matter what I do or think, it still leads to the same scenes I had been trying to whisk off my mind. I staggered away from the archery shed, the metallic scent of fresh blood filling my nostrils. I stumble out into the corridor, my footsteps echoing hollowly. I try to s

Chapter 52: Roles ───── ❝ R U B Y F R I D A Y ' S P O V ❞ ──── ║ Gregorian Calendar ║ 02 - 25 - 2027 ║ ║ Wednesday║ (D - 1) Before the Commencement of Olympia's Cup║ The rain pounds against the windows as I sit on the worn leather sofa, waiting for my roommate to finish getting ready. While the air is musty and still, I glance at the clock on the wall for what feels like the hundredth time. It's already 7:50 AM and the assembly starts at 8 — we're going to be late at this rate. "Serene, are you ready? We're going to be late!" I call out, my voice laced with exasperation. I roll my eyes at my obvious query. Of course she will take forever to get ready. The dim lights cast shadows around the room as I sink further into the couch, listening to the rhythmic drumming of the rain and the muffled sounds of Serene rushing around. Mornings like this are commonplace in our small apartment, the silence filled with the noise of daily routines and the occasional argument. Still, it's comfo

The corridor was dimly lit, the torches casting shadows that danced ominously on the stone walls. An eerie silence hung in the air as we made our way down the stairs, our footsteps the only sound, echoing off the cold stone. We descended into the unknown, into what seemed like the bowels of the school's dungeon itself.Within our mysterious endeavor I stayed silent, listening to the hushed chatter of my teammates around me. Rumors from them began to swirl in my mind as I can hear them mention the last wave of the Olympia's Cup years before where they found artifacts hidden around the cup's grounds, weapons that could incapacitate opponents, and of secret passages that could give one team an advanta

Chapter 54: Play the Part───── ❝ R U B Y F R I D A Y ' S P O V ❞ ────║ Gregorian Calendar ║ 02 - 26 - 2027 ║║ Friday║ (D - DAY) The Commencement of Olympia's Cup║The ancient stone walls of the auditorium were illuminated by the flickering flames of makeshift torches, casting ominous shadows and revealing carvings of arcane words and cryptic symbols. The torches, fastened to the walls with rusty iron brackets, crackled softly as they swayed in the warm drafts that crept through the high windows. Their wavering light danced across the rows of stone benches that rise up around a massive arena floor where students sat waiting expectantly. At the front of the hall stood a raised dais, and upon it stood the headmistress, her figure half-concealed in the shadows. As we, the final students filed in, she began to speak, her voice low yet carrying an edge that commanded attention, "Welcome to the opening ceremony of the Olympia's Cup Games, my dear students! I am Miss Rose, the headmistress

Echoing like distant thunder through the corridors of my mind, a call to action for those of us with ambitions beyond what society deems acceptable. And with a determined smile spreading across my face, I stepped forward into the daylight, ready to claim my place among the darkest hearts."This is gonna be hell for me, I am certainly sure," I muttered under my breath as I glide my orbs to the forest arena spread out before me, a vast maze of dense trees and thick undergrowth. The bright sun shone down on the forest, its rows of tall trees stretched as far as the eye could see, their leafy branches casting dappled shadows on the uneven ground.The thought that somewhere within this maze lays dark challenges

You now find yourself at the initial stage of your trial, the Labyrinth of Woe."Clutching tightly the quiver of my bow and arrow in my back, I heard a seemingly automated voice from the dark abyss of the labyrinth announcing my arrival. The disembodied voice echoed against the cold stone walls, sending chills down my spine. I could barely make out the path in front of me, as after an enormous gate, dim torches flickered with an eerie green flame, casting shadows in all directions. "Wow, thanks for the conclusion that I'm an unfortunate soul. Great fucking ironic info we've got here, huh?" Cursing for the hundredth time in my breath, I hesitantly stepped forward to the entrance of the labyrinth before me.Opening the ma

I hesitate, fear and curiosity warring within me. The forest has fallen silent, as if holding its breath, waiting to see what I will do next. I take a step forward, then another, passing under the stone arch and into the Labyrinth itself.When I did reach the space, the last step of my boots resounded before I halted, the Labyrinth stands tall and ominous now on my front, its dark stone walls casting long shadows across the mud forest ground."Well, this is far worse than what I had imagined," With nothing else to do but to utter those words, my hope and soul seemed to take turns and escaped from my body as quick as lightning as I stared at three obstacles laying in my front. What in the, "Triple Deadly Threats,
