SURVIVING THE DEMON GAMES WITH THE LYCAN KING のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 31 - チャプター 40

THIRD PERSON POVNancy woke to a piercing scream, one she knew only too well.It was a theatrical cry Barbara used when she was in deep trouble.Except— this one was far from a simple scream.This one was raw, painful, and panicked.Nancy bolted upright from the cold floor, her heart slamming against her ribs.“Barbara?!” she gasped, scrambling to her feet.She rushed out of the bedroom, nearly tripping over the room's rug.By the time she got to the living room, she was hit by a barrage of voices.The living room was already bright with emergency lighting.Nancy glanced every inch of the sitting room in search of her daughter but found nothing.Nancy turned around, her patience running thin.She was just about to walk out of the mansion, when she spotted a familiar silhouette Barbara stood near the kitchenette, her hand wrapped tightly in a kitchen towel. Blood seeped through the fabric.Nancy’s vision went red.Her mind quickly plunged into a panic.“What happened?!” she cried, gr

MELISSA'S POV A few minutes later— Barbara was on her knees.Her hands trembling, as she gently massaging my feet.A smile creeped to my face as she applied gentle pressure.The comments were feral.“I feel sick to my stomach. Why is Melissa so evil?”“I know Barbara deserves it but this is intense.”“Tell me about it. I think she might have beaten more than she can chew."I rolled my eyes, bored by their constant bickering.Just then a barrage of footsteps echoed towards us.I looked up, and there she was— Nancy.She stopped dead in her tracks.Her eyes widened in shock.Her eyes twitched as she glanced between the two of us.“Barbara…?” she yelled, her tone laced with uncertainty. Barbara froze.I didn’t move, probably paralyzed by my own fear.“What is going on here?"Barbara immediately threw my leg away.She rose to her feet, her voice shaking from fear.“Mo... mom it's not what it looks like... I was just..." before Barbara could finish, Nancy pulled Barbara behind her.Her e

MELISSA’S POVThe partner of the diseased victim, fell to the floor, passing out instantly.I froze.Goosebumps forming a path on my fair skin.My stomach turned as I looked away, unwilling to take in more than I already have.The comments went feral.“Guys I think I am going to puck. What the hell did we just witness? "“What a messy scene." “I thought this was supposed to be a lover's game, why all the violence."“50 points deducted. Group 37 is officially disqualified. Perfect way to start the competition." the doll chirped, excitement in its voice. “Now, can the next couple kindly come on stage?”Everyone stepped back instinctively, not willing to take part in that blood bath.Gavin didn’t move, he just crossed his hands and observed the ugly doll.Typical of a show off like himself.I so badly wanted to roll my eyes, but was stopped by the fear of being electrocuted. “So, who is going next?" it asked scanning the arena in all directions but no one had the courage to step forwar

MELISSA'S POV“Ridiculous," the system snarled. “What is ridiculous is the fact that you cursed out your partner three times, call him unprintable names multiple times, smile while he took on your punishment, and still expect a high score."I froze.Ooh! I totally didn't realize I was smiling all this while.I stared at Gavin and he had this disapproving glint in his eyes.Shame enveloped me like blanket.I lowered my head and shameful muttered the word, “Sorry."Gavin didn't respond.I didn't bother to push forward.I looked up desperately.“System can you please heal this,” I requested in a pleading tone.I wasn't really pleading, I was commanding— I knew the system wouldn't dare to watch any of us die.“Request denied,” the system declined.“What? Why?" I mumbled uncontrollably.My mind racing with perplexing questions.Why was the system suddenly so nonchalant?Did it no longer have any use for me?“Couples Event Rule: All tasks must be performed together. Injuries must be treated

MELISSA’S POVA cold sweat broke on my forehead.Was I hearing things?Gavin’s lips curved faintly.“Smart girl.”A shiver ran down my spine.“Are you some kind of a serial killer?" the words escaped my mouth before I could think.His expression turned cold as he leaned back in his chair.“That's besides the point," he casually dismissed.I looked into Gavin's eyes and there was no emotions in them.He was a monster— a cold blooded murderer.The doll clapped.“Melissa's turn!”Oh God.Now, what's the hurry?My brain began banging.Think Melissa, think of something safe.Not too revealing, but not too shallow.I inhaled slowly.“My secret…” I began.Gavin’s eyes narrowed slightly.“…is that I once wrote a character inspired by someone I loved so much… I dreamt about being intimate with him for a complete month.”Immediately I said those words, I covered my mouth.Gosh! of all the embarrassing things I could say, why that one?The orb pulsed.Gavin stared at me.His eyes shot at me like
