Trapped In Erevos; A Game Of No Return のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 1 - チャプター 7

Kieran’s POV“Fuck… today’s been a damn mess,” I groaned, tossing my apron on the counter. My back ached, my feet were killing me, and I just wanted to disappear into my bed forever.“Yeah me too,” my female colleague Lucia muttered, tying up her hair with a tired sigh. “Feels like the universe woke up and chose violence today.”I snorted, even though nothing about today was funny. From that creep on the bus who wouldn’t stop brushing his hands against me this morning, to spilling food on two customers, to the manager docking my pay yeah, perfect fucking day.“Hey, Eran, what the hell you zoning out for?” Lucia said, snapping me out of it. “Come on, let’s pack up before we miss the last damn bus.”“Yeah, yeah,” I muttered, helping her clean up the counter. My body was running on fumes.Once we finished, we locked up and stepped out into the cold night. The street was quiet, just few people could be seen. My phone screen lit up as I checked it for the hundredth time still no message.T

Kieran povI turned behind.“Damn, thank goodness those bastards are gone.”I turned back to face the road, exhaling hard, but then I froze.A huge red sign blinked in front of me: DEAD END.“The fuck?” I muttered, my hand tightening on the steering wheel. My gut twisted. Something was wrong like the air itself changed. “Why do i go from one problem to another just why.“ i retorted weakly.I slammed the brakes and the truck screeched to a halt. My heart thudded so loud I could hear it echo in my ears.I puHed the door open and stepped out, my footstep echoed as i walked. The air was so cold. I took a few steps forward, squinting through the faint mist, and then.“Holy shit…” I whispered.The road literally ended at a goddamn cliff. I walked closer until the tips of my sneakers kissed the edge. When I looked down, I couldn’t even see the bottom. It was just darkness, stretching forever. My stomach flipped.“What the hell is this?” I muttered. “Wait… isn’t the end of the road supposed t

Kieran's povMy finger was literally a hair away from tapping the message when Nova suddenly hissed,“Drop it.”I blinked up at him. “What?”He sat up on his bunk fast, eyes widening. “Kieran, I’m dead serious drop the damn phone.”“But it’s a message from the Overseer. What if it’s important?”He pointed behind me. “Look at the time.”I glanced at the hologram clock glowing blue above the door.7:59:50 PM.7:59: 51.7:59:52.Nova’s voice went sharp. “Rule of Zones EVERYBODY must be in bed at exactly 8:00 PM. No standing. No walking. No talking. No screens. Nothing.”“What kind of weird cult shit ”“KIERAN.”His tone snapped like a whip. “If you’re not lying down when it hits eight, the motion sensors flag you as ‘Non-Compliant.’ And trust me, you do NOT want to know what happens to non-compliant players.”My stomach dropped.7:59:58.“Shit ”I tossed the phone onto my bed and dove under the sheets.7:59:59.Suddenly the light went out.Everything snapped black. Not even a moonlight.

A memory hit me.Hard.Like someone slapped it into my skull.Flash back to last night.After kieran left, slamming the door so hard the walls rattled.Silence followed.Then Darius burst out laughing again. “Did you see his face?”I laughed too. so hard and too loud. Fueled by alcohol and ego and the stupid confidence that comes from thinking you’ve won something.“Loser,” I said.We locked the door. Drew the curtains. Shut the world out.And then we kept drinking since we lost the mood to continue from where we stopped.Vodka burned. Music blasted. Bottles piled up on the table. The room spun slowly, pleasantly, like I was floating just above my body.Darius pulled out the weed not long after. Rolled fast, sloppy, hands not steady anymore.“We deserve this,” he said, lighting up. “After dealing with that clown.”I took a hit. Coughed. Laughed. Took another drink.The room blurred. The edges softened.At some point, I knocked the bottle over.Vodka splashed across the floor, clear an
