All Chapters of Rewrite Me : Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

[...8, 9, 10.]Elara gulped and she could feel her heart beating loudly in her chest. No one has said a word since the system started counting. Now that the seconds were up, everyone just looked at the other person. [Attention players!] The voice spoke again, jolting everyone. [As from this moment, you will only be given limited time to decide. Now, place your hands in the box to receive a key. The third round is starting now.]The girl looked at Cipher one last time before moving to the front to receive a key."Why did you do that?" Elara could hear Leo asking Cipher."Because I want the game to start getting interesting," he simply said and smiled.Elara wondered if that meant a good thing or a bad thing, but if there was something she really wanted, it was to get a secret key. But if she gets a sin key three times in a row, then the others can go and die for all she cares.Being good got her nowhere anyway. Maybe if she starts caring more about herself than others, she can actuall

Elara could see the anticipation in everyone's eyes; eyes waiting for someone to just drop dead. Why is the game so twisted? How did they end up in this world? Is there really any hope in getting back to their world? Is there even any bit of humanity here?Those are questions she kept asking herself... questions she probably won't get answers to. For all she knows, it could all end in a split second. [The player to be eliminated is...zero.]Gasps erupted from the crowd. They couldn't believe what they just heard. Even Cipher had a brief look of doubt which was quick to disappear when his eyes lowered."What? This doesn't make sense," a player said."But we all voted. How is someone not eliminated? It's not even a tie."The blue-haired girl gritted her teeth and clenched her hands so tight they could burst. "Is there something the game isn't telling us still?" She asked and screamed with rage. "This isn't making any sense."The system voice spoke again. [This was how the vote was dec

[Players, you may now proceed to a door.]Cipher walked to a door and unlocked it with his key. Before stepping inside, he turned his head to look at the room Elara was entering and past her, he saw the blue-haired girl glaring at him. He gave a smirk and entered the room which closed back. He stopped and stared around the bright room with his hands in his pockets.The system voice came on. [Welcome player. You have received a pass in this game.]He scoffed and turned around. “That’s right,” he said. “I’m curious though,” he pulled his brows and looked up. “Is there any way I can see what the other players are up to?”[No. That is against the rule of the game, but if you keep insisting—]“No,” he laughed and shook his head. “Never mind.” He released a sigh and thought back on the elimination round where Elara had saved him. He hated how she made him feel confused about his feelings. He didn’t know either to hate her or just pretend to be angry.“She has no right. Why would she do that

Elara was lost of words. She couldn’t believe what she was seeing, but after now, things would start to take another shape. This is exactly what the game wants: to provide premium entertainment and fancy deaths. It means, to survive, one would have to be brutal, one would have to sacrifice so many things. In here, there are no rules for living, only rules for the game.Her stomach turned at the sight of blood and flesh sliced and it made her feel sick. No one should have to go through a thing like this. Mira didn’t deserve this, she thought as she watched her crouch next to Sam’s body, cradling him like a baby and sending him off. It was after he went still in her arms that she broke. She cried and hugged him tightly, like she had just lost someone precious to her.She moved her eyes and saw the guilty look on the other players faces. Without exempting herself, she knew they were all responsible. The adults are responsible for what had just happened. And despite herself, she couldn’t

The machine rotated to the direction of the third group and several spikes of crystal glass shot out. Elara could see from where she sat, flesh tearing apart and bodies being dismembered. It took all the will in her to look away and focus on the character she was playing.Soon, everything became quiet again and Mira spoke;“Sam is…was…he was my safe space. When I wanted to die, he taught me how to live and to make a worth for it. That was how I gathered the others and reassured them time and time again that today, it is us, but tomorrow, it could be someone we want to protect. But look what happened.” She raised her eyes to look at her. “There is no saving grace here. In the end, everyone is still selfish.”Elara knew this was the moment and she said to her, “Look at me. What would matter if I die? Is it knowing that there is one person who I consider the least to save me, or would I die knowing no one tried extending a helping hand?”“Nothing really matters, you know,” Mira said.“Is
