CHAPTER 40: God, I Was Such An Idiot

They marched us into another hall that was bigger than the last, echoing with that hollow emptiness that made me feel like my bones were hollow too. The floor was smooth stone and polished, almost reflective. In the very center of the hall was a huge white circle, drawn thick like the kind of chalk line cops draw around bodies at crime scenes.Olympic death games, perhaps.The Game Master walked ahead, tapping the cane he carried against the ground, almost bouncing with excitement.Some people were already whispering, trying to guess the challenge.He turned toward us, eyes shining with playfulness.“Welcome!” he announced. “To the next round. The rules are simple.”He tapped his cane once in the middle of the circle.“One on one. Each team enter… only one stays in the ring. Push your opponent out, and you win. If you leave the circle, you lose.”He spun, clapping his hands together once.“Last teammate standing survives. The losing member…”He let the sentence trail into silence, li

CHAPTER 41: Shit

When the screen finally flashed my number, I thought I would panic. I thought my stomach would drop, or my legs would freeze, or that I would choke on my own breath the way I did every time a teacher called my name in school. Or when I was called to HR back when I was still alive.But none of that happened.Instead… I felt nothing.Like someone had reached inside my chest and pulled the cord connecting me to reality. Every emotion—fear, dread, disgust, the instinct to run—just fell quiet inside me.I was hollow.Maybe that was acceptance. Maybe I had already died before stepping into the circle.Numbers echoed across the room in the Game Master’s booming voice, and the spotlight rotated until it landed on me and the person and 0269. Fate really had a sick sense of humor.Someone nudged me gently from behind and only then did I realize I hadn’t moved. My feet were glued to the floor. I forced one step forward, then another. I wasn’t walking into a circle—I was walking into my own fune

CHAPTER 42: Me?

She suddenly twisted and grabbed my wrist. “Shit,” I cursed under my breath. Not giving me a moment to think, she yanked me and I flew forward, slamming onto my knees, the stone floor tearing my skin open. I gasped. She held my wrist like a vice. If she dragged me one more inch— No. No. NO. I dug my nails into her hand, kicked backward, anything, everything. She didn’t even flinch. “I’m ending this,” she snarled and hauled me up. I saw the chalk line right there next to my foot. One shove. One breath. One heartbeat. I curled my knee, pulled my leg back, and kicked—hard—into the side of her knee. Something popped and she shouted, her grip loosening as pain shot up her leg. I used the opportunity to wrenched free, stumbled upright, and shoved her back with both hands. She stumbled and slid… One foot landing outside the circle. The alarms screamed. It was… over. I just stood there staring, chest rising and falling so fast I thought I’d pass out on the s

CHAPTER 43: More Like A Curse

SILAS °❀⋆.ೃ࿔*:･ There are a lot of things I expected to run into in the afterlife. Floating grandpas. Judgmental angels. Maybe even that dog I kicked when I was ten. But what I didn’t expect? A former subordinate. It was right after being separated from Leah by the game master, because the game was supposed to be fair. I hated being separated from her. But what’s new? I’ve been hating a lot of things lately. The others shuffled around me after the push Off the line game, limping, panting, crying, bleeding… you know, the usual afterparty. Then a guard approached from the edge with his black uniform, heavy boots, and mask covering half his face. Standard issue game-lackey. But the way he walked… it was like someone who knew me. He stopped right beside me, and before I could ask who the hell he thought he was, he spoke quietly, his voice low and familiar in the way a stranger shouldn’t be. “Silas.” My brows shot up. “That’s bold of you,” I said. “Using my name like we’re
