Kiera lay flat on her stomach on the night-sky-themed bedsheet, a pair of glasses resting on the bridge of her nose as her eyes focused on the laptop screen before her. A string of strange code filled the screen. She paused and glanced at the old diary beside the laptop. She flipped to a new page and read the first line. ECHO, it won't just show what a person looks like; it reflects it. She paused, staring into nothing. Just then, a knock came at the door, followed by Victoria's gentle voice.

I told myself I trusted her. Kenzie tried to find Finn's location again. There was something showing up, but the IP address would quickly disappear. There’s definitely something going on; who is messing with this? Dealing with the criminals on Finn's side presents a challenge. Many members of the government support them, preventing their permanent imprisonment. It’s no surprise that illegal transactions are rampant; they have no fear. Society really stinks.

Each had a number etched onto a metal tag around their necks. “What is this place?” I whispered. Mr. Everhart smiled faintly. “A demonstration,” he said. “A test of human limits. They play for freedom, or whatever’s left of it.” Before I could speak, lights dimmed and a voice echoed through hidden speakers, announcing the first “round.” On the screens beside us, their profiles flashed, names, debts, crimes, affiliations. Cameras followed their every move. The games they played weren’t childish or theatrical, they were designed to break them, tests of trust, obedience, and pain.

--- The Warning As Evelyn finished her tale, the group sat in silence, the weight of her words sinking in. “So, the game is cursed,” Mia said flatly. “Great.” “It’s more than that,” Evelyn said. “The game is alive. It adapts to those who play it, testing their deepest fears and desires. And it doesn’t let go easily.” Anna shivered. “Do you think it’s done with us?” Evelyn’s expression darkened. “I don’t know. But if it isn’t, you must be prepared. The game has a way of pulling people back in.”

The room was dead silent for a moment. "That is utterly insane," Lucas breathed. "We're standing inside an invisible tower and we pilot walking tanks as a profession," Dan replied.

I am none other than the boss of the hotel you all are staying in and I am also the El Presidente that you all despise, and everyone in the hotel is now stuck and forced to play my little game! "Game...?" The overload of information stuns Yua and Logan. The man with sideburns yawns. [Yep! Game! Let the game begin! Let the crazy people in this hotel run wild! Its a game of survival where all of you are forced to kill each other!]

"It's time for you to kneel in front of me and apologize, right?" But Ian ignored me, still shaking his head and muttering dazedly beneath his breath. His lackeys were panicking as well. They'd all joined him in betting all the money they had on that game. One of them couldn't hold back any longer. He rushed up to Ian and cried out, "Ian! Didn't you say you had insider info that it's a guaranteed win? I bet all the money I was going to use to buy a house! What am I supposed to do now?"

The moment his fingers touched the clasp, Charlotte said, "Keep wearing it." Then she looked at me. "Whoever won it gets to keep it." I let out a soft laugh. The whole room fell silent. Charlotte's eyes turned cold. Lyra frowned. "George, we were just playing a game. Why do you have to make things so awkward?" Then she stepped in front of Connor.

As long as you are "human," as long as you approach him with a goal, you are a dead end. Because in his eyes, "human" is synonymous with betrayal. I want to win. So I can't be human. "System," I gripped the hourglass tightly. "I don't want a physical body." [Player Halen, your request violates the rules.]

Her sisters and the loan sharks can go to hell for all she cared. After her outright disobedience, Thane had thought of a very pleasant way to make Lindy pay, and his plans was for her to have sex with a canine as part of the game. “ What if the players are to have sex with canines as round six game? “ Thane introduced to his brothers, he also wanted to see if his brothers would allow their favorite play the game. Chad initially appeared ecstatic, “ Splendid, that is sure to entertain us! “ Then, he thought about Color Blue and what her reaction would be. “ Two million dollars that color Blue don't play this insane game. “ Chad said almost immediately.
