"We will see who wins first, Brother," He stood up and smirked at me, sparking a challenge I won’t back away from. "Either your revenge... or my extortion?" My smirk also grew wider as I replied strongly, having no intentions of failing. "We will see," He let out a quiet jeering laugh and left me all alone in my undesirable thoughts after starting a lethal game. I stared at the crack in the glass with a blaze igniting in my eyes as I threw the glass away, shattering it to pieces.

But not without side whispers, curious about the woman that came with the devil tycoon. The suffocating feeling in my chest had not fully settled. My gown tangled up with my heels and I stumbled forward. “Slow”. His grip on me tightened instantly, pulling me back to my side before I fell. As we got to the empty space, I felt someone coming behind us. Clap! clap! clap. “ I must say Congratulations to you”. I turned to the sickly disgusting voice and saw Vincenzo staring at me wide eyed, smiling, as he continued. “The game was such a good one. It's been a while since I've had so much fun. Or what do you think, Miss Grey?”.

What if the air here was taxed? We’d been invited by Campt Games, one of the biggest game companies in the country. They had invited Silvio Alvarez, the famous producer from our company, Crystcorp Gaming. As Silvio took a seat, I quickly sat next to him, holding a tablet, and pretending I was important. The host of the meeting, a cheerful man with a mustache named Mr. Grant, stood up. "Thank you for coming, Mr. Alvarez," he said. "We want to introduce you to our newest game: ECHO LEGENDS"

“Do you remember when I said it felt like you were playing a game with me?” “Yeah. Do you still?” I shake my head. “No, but I still feel like you don’t really let me in. I don’t know what you’re thinking, and it makes me feel like I’m on the outside. Maybe I’m being dramatic and hormonal or whatever, but I want to feel like you let me in.” Brow furrowed, Archer runs his hand through my hair.

Ashely looked around, taking his time, before he stopped and pointed at a stall, catching the attention of the man he was with. “You…want to try this one?” Gabriel asked, pointing towards the stall Ashely was pointing. The boy nodded. “Alright,” he shrugged. “I guess we’ll be trying this one first.” Stepping into the stall, both Ashely and Gabriel were welcomed by the bright lights, colorful props and a cheery man, who was running the game. “Welcome! Welcome!” He exclaimed. “Please pick your weapons and let’s get the fun started.” “Oh, I wanna chose this one!” Ashely excitedly pointed at a random gun.

As Legacies, we have a lot of traditions. And of our many traditions, the most important one is selecting “The Game.” The story goes that The Game first started as a way to enhance cooperation and competition among the Legacies. After leaving the school, many cohorts continue the game into the real world. What happens here at school is just practice. When we graduate from the Academy, each of us is ready to take a spot in the leadership of our family and the True Game that follows. “Shall we begin?” I look around to see that everyone has settled. “Any proposals or addendums since our last meeting?

She frowned slightly and wondered if she should keep more of a distance from Aiden after they returned. While she was considering this, she saw Night approaching Aiden. “Mr. Lewis, I have something to tell you.” “What is it?” Aiden looked at him curiously. Even Amy turned her attention to them. Unexpectedly, Night handed his phone to Aiden. “Your company developed this game, right? I noticed that it lags slightly at a certain part, which affects the gaming experience. When the skills aren’t released on time, the monsters are able to kill the character.”

Let the game begin. --
