Novel & Cerita Sacred Games

Was this some sort of stupid game the Gods had in store for me? Not bothering to knock, I unlock the door and head straight in, finding Arsenio and Atlas in a rather unhealthy state.

Right across the street, a massive digital billboard was broadcasting a live feed of Tom’s birthday. He stood there like a prince surrounded by stars, accepting luxurious gifts from everyone.

My lips twitched into a final, hollow smile, and I slowly closed my eyes. Suddenly, a gunshot shattered the air.

The disclaimer hit like a splash of cold water. “Because you like being mysterious?” I snapped. “Or because the system zaps you if you info‑dump?” “The Game doesn’t like its code discussed explicitly,” he said. “It reacts.

Those whose names are written upon the Statue of Avarra shall be pulled into the Trials. You cannot summon yourself, nor refuse the call once chosen. ]

Carson rebuke angrily. Did Call know what he said would easily start a war between the sacred lands? Carson was not about to let an outsider ruin Severin's celebration. Yet, Callan continued to mock, "Why should I watch what I said? I'm very strong. Do you want to try to see how strong I am?" At that very instant, the hall turned dead silent and everyone was shocked to hear that. After the crisis, the Grandiuno Sacred Land and the Great Thunderbeat Temple were the only sacred lands left. Everyone knew that sooner or later the two sacred lands would fight to be the number one sacred land in the realm.

Tears brim in my eyes, threatening to spill over as I turn away from Santiago, unable to bear the weight of his silent acknowledgment. My gaze drifts involuntarily to the scar on my wrist, a stark reminder of past trauma that I desperately try to push from my mind.
