We stared at them for a while before sighing. " And that's how you deal with bitches...." Ariana muttered victoriously. " By giving them a taste of their own medicine." I glanced at her and smiled. She did too. " Pound it." We said together as we made a fist bump. Game over.

And Enzo immediately shut up, wondering what in the world was going in his head that he agreed to play with Don and his strict little girl. Tara saw Sia in the corner holding a hand over her mouth, pressing a wide giggle inside. Tara walked inside, finding herself standing next to Sia just to watch this game a little longer. Enzo threw a hesitant tight smile at Tara, feeling immensely awkward at the circumstance while Donavan didn't mind wrinkling his suite on the floor. "Here" Ina handed two plates that easily fit into their palms, one to Enzo and other to Papa. Both of them took a bite of their imaginary food, making pleased expressions,

There's a game called Sticks? "Of course, ya doy. Do ya know how to play?" "Does it sound like I know how to play?" I asked rhetorically, causing Poppy to sigh. "Alright alright alright. We both start with two fingies out, like this. An' we take turns tappin' each other's fingies, and whatever hand you tag, you have to add the amount of fingers that touched you to that hand." She tried to explain. "I… I don't follow."

In the photo, Claire smiled serenely, her eyes filled with starlight. Sam took out the ring he always wore. He laid it carefully atop the mound. "I will find you," he whispered. "Dead or alive." … The skies above the war zone were always gray, like a bleak canvas soaked in smoke and ash. Clad in heavy protective gear, face hidden behind a surgical mask and goggles, I knelt in the rubble, gently retrieving body after body. Here, no one had names—only numbers. "CE-17, male, approximately twenty-five. Shrapnel wound. Confirmed deceased."

Not long after Kirou led the girls away, the stalker from before tried to follow them, only to be blocked by two players(?) in similar apparel. He tried to go around them but the two players kept blocking his path. The stalker wanted to stab both players and kill them instantly so that he could continue to follow his targets, but alas, villages, towns, and cities are safe zones in Immortal Era and the system restricts the use of all weapons and combat-related skills.

I whispered, feeling the weight of the years and the struggles we’d faced lift ever so slightly. “Okay, let’s do this,” Nathan said, gripping a stick in his hand like it was some sort of ancient weapon. “You remember the rules?” “Do I remember the rules? Nathan, that game was like an Olympic sport of nonsense. It had more rules than Monopoly!” He laughed. “That’s the spirit. Alright, let’s get our game faces on.” I grabbed my own stick from the ground, feeling its rough bark under my fingers. For a moment, the absurdity of two grown adults playing a childhood game hit me, but then I looked at Nathan.

Elara whispered loudly behind him, “This is going to be amazing.” Lucian muttered, “This is going to be catastrophic.” The three warriors stepped into the ring. I stepped lightly to the other side, wooden stick balanced in my hand like an extension of my arm. “One minute,” the warrior repeated. “Try not to fall too hard.” “Try not to regret this,” I answered sweetly. “Begin.” The first warrior lunged. I sidestepped easily, cracked the wooden stick against his wrist, spun behind him, and tapped the back of his knee.

The place was quiet and it looked like it was abandoned by the owner. “Let’s take it back to our youth days, Lerumo, forward me this honor of having this last stick fight with you, don’t worry I brought you your own stick.” He smiled as he showed Lerumo the stick. “See how generous I am? We could have been good friends but you didn’t see the bigger picture.” Lerumo just shook his head helplessly. “Don’t waste time talking and just give me the stick” he was not getting out of this, either way, so he might as well fight.

He stood up, twirling the stick in his hand with a practiced ease that spoke of years of experience. He approached me, his eyes assessing my stance. “First things first,” he began, “you need to understand that a stick can be more than just a piece of wood. It’s an extension of your body. Hold it like this.” He adjusted my grip, ensuring my hands were placed firmly yet flexibly on the stick. “The key to any fight is balance and control,” he continued, positioning my feet shoulder-width apart. “Your stance should be stable, ready to absorb and deliver force.”

The air smelled of roasted meat and earth, and underneath it all was the sound of life: pups chasing one another, mothers gossiping, warriors arguing over strategy while pretending they weren’t off-duty. Joey clapped her hands once, loudly enough to draw everyone’s attention. “Alright, listen up! Today we’re breaking the monotony. We’ve fought, we’ve bled, we’ve sulked in our rooms” her eyes flicked dramatically to Devon, who only blinked at her “but today, we play.” The warriors groaned. Someone shouted, “Play what?” Joey grinned wickedly. “Everything.” The first game was tug-of-war.
