You may not be aware of this yet, but as long as players choose to stay, this game can continue indefinitely. He has already won at least four rounds here, piling up unimaginable wealth and experience in killing." The massive flood of information hit me like a tidal wave.

She walked to the door and cleared her throat to get the couple's attention" Chris..how are you?" fortune greeted with a bright smile. "well, ma'am fortune, I am better than you think and you?".

You see, chess is a boring old board game but it is the key plan to my fortune. I am the Black Falcon, this is my life on the board and against the law...

The thing they had just stolen was nothing but a useless piece of plastic. Before walking out of the ward, I glanced back one last time. Jeremy was tenderly comforting Lilian. The text floating above his head had shifted. "Fortune score: 1%. Countdown to financial ruin: Three hours."

“Great, you will be playing about five different games on different occasions and be rest assured that once you’ve agreed to this game, you aren’t allowed to stop playing. You must complete all five aspects of the game and if you are able to win at the end of it, a huge sum of reward awaits you.” I Scoffed swinging my legs in the air as I kept staring at my screen waiting for him to finish typing... ‘And here are the rules of the game which must be observed and followed.
