LAST MOVE

THIRD PERSON'S POV Melissa stood in the distance, motionless.The air in the room was warm— hot in fact but she felt like she was about to freeze from the icy chill in her bones.Why was the system threatening her with the Gavin and James life, instead of her own?What was the system hoping to gain by this move?“So what is it going to be Player 75?" the system's mechanical voice beamed in Melissa's mind, consequently drawing her to the present.Melissa's heart skipped— racing like a brakeless tuck down a steep slope.She took a deep breath, and composed herself, before speaking.“It depends."“On what?" the system asked, it's tone laced with a sprinkle of intrigues.“For starters, I need to know why."“Why me?" “Why do I have to be the villain?"“What do you intend to gain from this?" The question kept spurring out of Melissa uncontrollably, like it was second nature.As she spoke via mind link, a dull ache rose in her chest.“All good questions," the system began, it's eeri sweet

MELISSA'S POV The room fell into a chilling deafness.All eyes were immediately fixated on me.Confusion, shock and panic flashing on the faces of everyone watching.Nancy's eyes widened.Her face turning pale instantly.She turned to her supposed lover, and daughter.“What is she talking about?" she asked, pointing her index finger at me, whose head was still lowered.“Mom... I... It's not true. Boris say something..." Barbara stammered on her words.Her voice trembling as she shuffled Boris under the bus.Boris's eyes twitched.His gaze was unstable but still he didn't dare glance at Nancy.His chest kept rising and falling in frantic rhythm.But he didn't flinch, he just let out a deep breathe and said.“Of course she is lying Nancy. Why would you believe a word that comes out of that snake's mouth," his finger trembled as he pointed to my face. “She is obviously in love with me, and is clearly throwing a fit cause she can't have me." The condescension in his voice made my scalp

REVELATION

MELISSA'S POV We lost? The words hadn't fully registered yet when the bridge began shaking violently. Nancy and the rest of the audience froze in panic, their expression sour. “Immediate punishment initiated," the system chimed and next thing I knew— I was floating in midair. The bridge had snapped, and Gavin, and I were currently plunging into darkness. The fall was slow, agonizing. I could see James panicking as he tried to limp off his podium but like an ice sculpture, he froze in mid air. The pit was pitch-black, extending for feets. I was scared. No, terrified. This wasn't how I was supposed to go down. I wasn't supposed to die like this. A sharp pain erupted in my chest. pain gripping the greater part of me. Tears welled up in my eyes, blurring my vision. Just then I felt strong arms around my waist.The arms were warm and muscular— probably belonging to a man.A board chest pressed against my face. The man's woody-minty scent quickly flowed into my nostrils. I

HIDDEN TRUTH

THIRD PERSON'S POV Gavin's palms were sweating. His heart raced like a cattle wheeled into a slaughter house. He was nervous— no, more than nervous, he was scared. He was scared that she might reject him. This was the first time he had approached a woman directly. Normally with his rank, he was the one being chased, not that he ever accepted any of them. He had never been interested in woman, to the point that everyone thought he was gay, until he met Melissa. This beautiful, arrogant, mannerless woman who overthrew his world. She was different, full of herself. She acted tough but had a heart of gold that just drew him in, effortlessly. He had expected his mate to be some high rank beast like himself, and was planning to reject anything less. But fate played a cruel joke on him, not only did he not get a human, but one with a lot of baggage. Her body count was far beyond expectation, and she equally belonged to another man. He should have been irritated, like he always

THE ASSAULT

THIRD PERSON'S POV “Player 1, you're next," the system informed as Melissa's door dissolved into the wall. Gavin stood upright— his face expressionless as he approached the red door. He stepped in, took in a sharp breath and the door swung shut. The room was pitch black with a lingering scent of ash and blood. A loud buzz echoed.“Welcome to the dark fortress," the system announced, it's tone robotic. “Player has to survive this treacherous path within a day. Reward a healing portion, agility 2×, and one emotion numbness portion.”“Got it."Gavin nodded, still unable to pinpoint where exactly the voice was coming from.He knew the road ahead wasn't going to be easy, but more than that he knew the rewards would be fulfilling.It would be better if he forgot how he felt about Melissa completely.Maybe losing his empathy would be beneficial to him in the long run.Who was kidding? Anything would be better than the burning pain There were growling and howling sounds echoing all arou

CONTRACT

THIRD PERSON'S POV A loud scream echoed through the abandoned mansion, a haunting reminder of her torment.The atmosphere was bone freezingly cold, yet Melissa was sweating profusely. Her throat felt dry— starved of the taste of water.She lay on the cold, hard floor, her body broken and battered.She looked pale, broken.Her face drained of all color. The once-white nightgown was now a deep crimson, soaked with her own blood.Her hair was charred and burnt, the scent of roasted flesh clinging to her like a shroud.A trail of bloody finger nails, chunks of flesh surrounded her.Dracula stood over her, his black robe stained with the remnants of her torture. His eyes gleamed with a sinister delight, his fangs bared in a cruel smile. He reached down, his long fingers grasping Melissa's chin, forcing her to look up at him.Melissa's face was red, her eyes gleaming with unshed tears.She bit onto her lower lip, in a bit to stop herself from screaming."You see, my dear," he whispered,

BOYFRIEND

THIRD PERSON'S POV Melissa crawled out of the pit, her body a mangled mess of scars and bruises.Her hair matted to her face— slick with sweat and blood. The sunlight was a blinding curse, piercing her eyes like a hot needle. She squinted, her lungs burning with every ragged breath.Ever breathe felt like taking a sip of concentrated sulphuric acid.The air was thick with the scent of damp earth and decay, a morbid perfume that clocked her senses.Her body— battered, characterised by jaget scars.Her appearance was a grotesque view of wound, blood, and sweat.Every inch of her screamed in agony, urging her to rest, but she wouldn't— she had to see Gavin to explain things to him.As she struggled to her feet, the weight of her own mortality hit her like a sledgehammer.She lost her footing— falling face first in the dirt.Her legs felt like lead, the exhaustion from her crawling getting the better part of her.Yes, she was alive, but for how long? The contract lingered in her mind, a

OUT OF THE ABONDANCE OF HIS HEART

MELISSA'S POV I sat rooted on the hard ground. My eyes peeled on Gavin and Zoe's faces. I blinked twice unsure of what I had just heard. Did Zoe just call Gavin her boyfriend? My head was a mess— thoughts flooded my mind. “Oh my gosh! Melissa?" Zoe's voice cut through the daze like a fiddle.She leaned forward , stretching her hand to help me. I hesitated for a bit, before reluctantly taking her hand, after all we didn't have any problem before now.I glanced between Gavin and her, utterly nonplussed. Gavin stood to the side, his arms crossed over his chest.A chow on his charming yet scared face.His eyes were fixed intensely on me. “What's going on..." I was just about to ask the question that plagued my mind when Zoe's tender voice came through. “I am ecstatic to see you," she said with a smile, her face a mask of excitement as she took my hands in hers. “You look amazing, and your skin is popping."I glanced down at my limbs and indeed I had gotten smoother, my skin glow

THE TRAP

MELISSA'S POV I lay there on the cold ground, my body wracked with sobs as I cried out all the pain and heartache. The tears streamed down my face, soaking the earth beneath me. How could Gavin say that to me? Fine, maybe he was a little right, maybe my sister is just better but still... Do I deserve to be cheated on and left for death?Absolutely not?How could he even say that to me?Was he because he was mad, or had it been what has been in his mind for the longest.A light bulb switched on in my mind.That had to be it. He was only using me— playing my heart like a fiddle for his own personal games.A sharp pain reaped through my chest.I wist, instinctively grabbing onto my throbbing chest.Tears literally pouring out of me, without end.It felt like I'd never stop crying, like I wasn't going to make it, like my heart would never heal.But eventually, the tears began to dry, and I slowly sat up, wiping my face with the back of my hand. There was no more tears left, not after

TRAPPED

THIRD PERSON'S POV As the rest of the group crept towards the enemy's flag, the air was thick with tension. Gavin, Barbara, and Zoe were positioned strategically, their eyes scanning the surroundings for any sign of danger. Nancy and Boris stood guard, their weapons at the ready.But something was seriously wrong, the forest had gone quiet, a little too quiet for comfort.Gavin was the first to notice.One moment, there had been the distant rustle of movement, the occasional groan of wandering animals—but now… nothing. Not even the wind dared to breathe.“Something’s off,” he muttered, tightening his grip on the blood-slick blade in his hand.Zoe didn’t slow down. “We’re close. Let's just keep moving.”Ahead of them, partially hidden between twisted tree roots and a collapsed stone structure, the enemy flag flickered faintly. “I found it," Barbara announced excitedly, pointing at the flag in the distance. Her lips curled up into a smile.Nancy scanned the ground, her sharp eyes dart
