All Chapters of The Plus Size Rejected Luna In The Luna Survival Game: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

(Vera POV)When I tested it, Evelis noticed and laughed. “You aren’t trained, right?” She taunted. “Worried?” I asked her instead of answering her. “Relieved.” The bell rang, and she attacked. I dodged her attack, but she quickly turned and threw herself at me with full force. I barely got time to turn, but it was a hair-breadth escape. “I am not gonna let you go today. You are going to taste defeat,” She said, and with a scream attacked me again. Metal crashed with metal, and the force travelled straight through my arm. It seemed like she was attacking to kill, but I didn’t bother to indulge in those thoughts anymore. She attacked again; I blocked. But she wasn’t ready to back out just yet. She attacked again and again until I started feeling drained. “You are really enjoying this, hmm?” I joked, and she gave me an evil smirk. “Scared already, Little Vera?” She taunted, and I shook my head in no. “Never… At least, not in this lifetime, Evelis.” I gritted my teeth in ang

(Vera POV)I quickly slipped the medal inside my shirt and looked around. “Which way?” I asked Xela when I noticed something. The maze’s walls had changed. “F*ck! What did they want me to do at this stage of this game?” I thought before letting out a frustrated breath. “Vera! Many contestants are coming towards us. RUN!!!” I started running to the left because, at this stage, I was running purely on my instincts. I was about to take a turn when someone pushed me hard, and I fell hard on my back. “F*ck it!” I cursed under my breath. Calla was standing in front of me with a dagger tucked into her belt. She looked at the crimson ribbon on my arm, and a cruel smirk appeared on her face. “Sorry, Calla! Not today.” I thought and smiled at her, like her push didn’t affect me at all. She charged towards me with full force, but I ducked and dodged her attack before running towards the other corridor. Just two turns later, I found two contestants waiting for me. They eyed my crimson ribb

(Vera POV)The first contestant stepped forward. His brother volunteered and drew a card. His card required him to surrender his wolf abilities for seven days.He accepted.The chain around her pedestal shattered.Passed.The second contestant's mother drew a financial penalty against her pack. She accepted immediately.Passed.Then the third contestant stepped forward. My heartbeat increased because I was next in line. A few minutes passed, but no one moved in the audience. We all looked towards the audience. Her face paled, and she stepped forward to look for someone familiar in the audience. “F-father!” She called, and her tone was a mix of begging and desperation. But her father turned his face to the other side. “Father, Please!!! I am willing to pay you back with whatever you want, but please don’t abandon me like this.” My heart broke for her, but there wasn’t any emotion on his father’s face, as if he had nothing to do with her. Tears rolled down her cheeks, and then her fa

(Vera POV)Xela stirred.“Excited?”I looked at the map.“Extremely.”For the first time since entering the Luna Survival Games, strength wouldn't be measured by how fast I could run or how hard I could hit.Tomorrow, everyone will receive armies, money, and political power. I had almost none.Which meant I had nothing to lose. And people had been underestimating me for my entire life.Why stop them now?****************I had been given twelve thousand starving wolves, an empty treasury, a weak army, three hostile neighbors, and absolutely no allies.Honestly?Still better than being chased through a maze by Evelis.I sat cross-legged on my bed with the fictional Shadowvale Protectorate file spread around me. Maps, population records, military reports, trade routes, agricultural production, political histories... apparently, the palace had created an entire imaginary kingdom solely for the purpose of ruining our morning.“Food reserves will last twenty-three days,” I murmured, and Xe

(Vera POV)The next crisis was worse.DROUGHT.Then:MINING COLLAPSE.Then:BORDER DISPUTE.By evening, everyone was exhausted. Many deals collapsed, and two territories declared war. One contestant bankrupted herself maintaining an army she didn't need. Another hoarded food until her fictional citizens revolted.And somehow–Shadowvale kept surviving; sometimes it became extremely difficult, but I survived all the tough situations. But it wasn’t the end. One crisis was still left, and my head was already throbbing with pain. I really wanted a cup of coffee at that critical hour. Then the horn blared, and the lights turned red. Then the final crisis appeared. The entire map turned black.A ROYAL DECREE REQUIRES EVERY TERRITORY TO CONTRIBUTE 20% OF ITS FOOD RESERVES TO THE CROWN.I stared at it like I was hallucinating. I calculated and then looked at the bold numbers etched on the screen. Twenty percent? Were they serious? My people had only just stopped starving. Around me, wea
