《Death Game》 Prologue A old man with a lab coat was standing with his arms wide open. He had a hunchback and looked very thin. He had glasses on with a round frame. ¡°Hahahaha ¡ my creations, my babies come out alive and give this old man a show. Hahahaa¡± He was spitting out saliva for every word he said. In front of him were large capsules which had a human like body in each and was filled to the brim with green liquid. There were large injections filling something into the bodies of the humanoids.This book''s true home is on another platform. Check it out there for the real experience. ¡°Hahahah ¡ I will be waiting, so don''t disappoint me.¡± After saying this the old man walked to the door and opened it. Winds came inside and lifted up a piece of paper which looked like a calendar into the air which said- 27 October 2014. After walking out the old man didn''t bother to close the door and kept walking. By this time the injections had finished injecting whatever they had to. SHUU There were sounds of gas coming out. All the large capsules were giving off smoke from below them. All of them slowly rose into the air before shooting off into the sky. All the capsules kept on rising till they reached the clouds. The stopped rising and slowly tilted to vertical position before all of them again shot out in different directions. Everything was quiet at the building where the capsules were before. The old man was nowhere to be seen. There was a creepy silence. BOOOM!! A large mushroom rose into the air. There were flames and debris everywhere. The building had collapsed. Chapter 1 ¡° HAAAAA HWWOOO ¡. HAAAAAA HWOOOO¡± SFX: deep breathing. ''Run¡ I need to run¡ i need to stay alive.¡¯ ¡°AAAAAHHHH¡± I got up with difficulty while catching my abdomen. My sweater was dyed red. I had scars all over my body. My vision is blurring out. Woooooop - wooooooop. SFX: Police car. The walls around me look dark and the road seems narrow. I tried to use my legs but my legs are giving out. I felt tired and didn''t have the energy to run so I just walked. My head hurt. Chhrr plop¡. Chrrr plop¡ SFX: walking in shallow water I lost track of time. These small alleys were like a maze. The police that were following probably lost me. I couldn''t hear the sirens anymore. Maybe it was because they lost me or maybe it was because I couldn''t hear properly. I took a turn again, I don''t know how many times I had done that. I lost power at this moment. My legs gave out. I got to the wall with great difficulty and supported my back on the wall. My abdomen hurt. My vision was blacking out. For some reason I started recalling my childhood. That darkness, the loneliness. I remember getting scouted and being used as a tool in war. Those were painful times¡. I don''t even want to think about it. They say that when one dies, they experience whatever had happened to them in there life like watching movie. All of it happens in just an instant. ''Am I dying?¡¯ My body was giving out and negative thoughts flooded my brain. Ensure your favorite authors get the support they deserve. Read this novel on the original website. ''is it finally time?¡¯ My eyes were dull looking and looked like I wanted to rest. Rest for a long amount of time¡.. But I saw a face in my memories. A beautiful face. Blonde hair and sparkling eyes. ''hahaha¡¯. Her voice was like music to my ears. It made me want to sleep more. ''Don''t you want a farmhouse James? We can have cattle, pets and plant trees. It would be wonderful.¡¯ ''Don''t know¡ maybe?¡¯ ''Hahahaha¡ you''re always like that.¡¯ I opened my my eyes. There was a light sparkle in them. ''I can''t die not yet. Not like this.¡¯ I looked around and found out that this alley was very secluded. The alley was filled with blood and there were scars and deep depressions on the ground and walls. Although I was surprised by the blood, I didn''t have any time to think about it, plus it was not like I had never seen blood before. I looked around a little and found a body on the ground. I had to stop the blood that was coming out from my abdomen or I would die very soon. I tried to stand up but my legs would not budge. ¡°UUUUUGHHH¡± I couldn''t reach that body. I could only crawl to it with difficulty. I searched it''s pockets and found a lighter. There was also a safety pin with him. I took both the items. Again I had to open my sweater which had a zipper and remove my T-shirt. It took some time for it. I took the lighter and tried to light it but it wouldn''t work. I tried and tried and tried and after a few more times it finally lit up. I was shot with a bullet so I had to pull it out. I bought the fire close to my abdomen. ¡°AARGH¡±. I was already feeling weak so it stung quite a bit. After some time it lit off on its own. I couldn''t waste the time I had spent on heating my abdomen so I just threw the lighter and took the safety pin. My body was well built and was hard so the bullet hadn''t penetrated too deep inside. I tried to remove it out with the safety pin but it didn''t seem to be working. My hand were shaking and my face was distorted I tried to control the pain. Finally after some time I had some success. I tried a little more and the bullet had finally shown itself a little. I just took the bullet out with my hands after that. It wasn''t very safe to remove a bullet out like this but I had no choice. ¡°HWAAA HOOOO¡.. HWAAA HOOO¡±. My head and back were sweating like crazy. My breathing was erratic and the pain was hellish. I looked at the man next to me and tore his shirt open and used it like a bandage. I searched the man again but I didn''t find anything valuable except his wallet. He had a bloody hole in his chest and I was sure he was dead. I don''t care how It happened but I want to get out of here somehow. I looked at his hands, there was some black material on it. I touched my hand but I took it back hurriedly. ¡°What it is this he has a pulse?! How can it be? His heart isn''t even present!¡± I was shocked and looked at the black material in his hands. I touched it and tried to take it from his hands but it looked like it was attached to him like glue. ¡°Aaaahhhh¡± I applied more force and finally took it out. With the rebound force I fell on my back. I felt pain from my abdomen again and then looked at the black material in my hands. It looked semi solid but it wouldn''t get of my hand. I tried shaking it off but it still stuck like glue to my hand. ¡°What the hell is this? Ughhh!¡± Suddenly it started growing and spread all over my body. ¡°What us going on?! Damn! Get off!!¡± I tried getting it off but it didn''t work. It got to my chest and opened my skin. My chest opened by that strange thing as if a sharp knife had slit it open. ¡°AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!¡± Chapter 2 ''AAAAHHH¡ Damn, I''m blacking out again. And just when I thought I had a chance to survive.¡¯ I went into dreaming state again. It felt miserable, blood and bones and weapons everywhere. Fuck. I really want to get out of here. Everything became black again. The dark atmosphere is suffocating me¡. I know this is a dream but everything feels so real. The bone chilling cold, the wind is cold and every time it blew past me I started shuddering uncontrollably. ''what is this place, what was that black slimy liquid. DAAAAMN!!¡¯ If I was awake right now I would destroy that stupid liquid! What the fuck did it do to me? My nose started to bleed and my chest hurt. I don''t know what was happening to me so suddenly but it definitely didn''t look good. ¡°COUGHH !! COUGGHHH !! COUGH¡.¡± Shit. I brought my hand to my mouth. I touched my mouth and brought it under my vision. My hands had a tint of red and it looked especially dark. Damn I coughed blood out, it didn''t look too bad though. I looked around and found myself in that accursed street again. The street looked as gross as it did before. The dead man, the blood everywhere and the walls and ground which looked like somebody had blasted it with grenades. ''i need to get to the hideout before they find me.¡¯ ''HELLO¡¯ Damn!! The police found me already! I looked around but nobody was there. ¡°Where are you? Come out.¡± I didn''t hear anything back. What was going on? Was it just a hallucination? No! I heard that voice clearly. I became fully alert and observed my surroundings but nothing happened. People need to be patient with this kind of things. Nothing happened after fifteen minutes. ¡°Fuck it I don''t care whether it was a hallucination or not.¡± I need treatment right now, I can''t waste time here. The wallet was still lying down there. I picked it up and shoved it into my pants. A case of content theft: this narrative is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation. I was topless right now except for the cloth that was being used as a bandage. My jacket had a flower of blood on it but I didn''t really care, I just took it and wore it. Although I was really tired I couldn''t rest right now. I started walking out of the street and I was welcomed by another fork. These alleys were creepy and not even one human could be found around here but I was still thankful to them. If not for this maze like structure I could be potentially dead right now. I kept taking the right turns and after i sometime found three different lanes but I just kept to the right. It was not like I was going around in circles. The structure was a bit complex and I had to do it. I finally heard some honking noises. Guess I found a busy street. This was pretty good for me. I kept taking turns according the noises and finally found alley that had some people in it. All of them were shady looking but Its not like I care. I just went out on the main street. And looked for a taxi. The street was unexpectedly bustling and had many people in it. There were bright neon boards everywhere and it blinded me for a second. It was dark in the alleys so it took some time for my eyes to adjust to the lighting. ¡°I AM NOT YOUR ENEMY¡± ¡°Who?!¡± Damn I heard that dark voice again. The people around me were looking at me with strange gazes and the children seemed to be distancing themselves from me. They were probably shocked by my sudden scream. I quickly stopped a taxi and got into it. ¡°Hey mate, where do you wanna go?¡± A black guy asked me with a smile. He looked friendly. ¡°114 Gr-grove Ave¡± ¡°Ohh, that''s a pretty remote area you''re livin in.¡± ¡°. ¡° ¡°Hahaha not much of a talker eh?¡± ¡°. ¡° ¡°You heard about the recent news man? Apparently a national fugitive got out of prison. It''s supposed to be a rumour or there would pictures of the guy all around the place.¡± ¡°. ¡° ¡°OK.. I''ll just shut up¡± The ride was silent from then on. After about an hour or so we finally reached the place, I told him to stop at a location one kilometer away from my hideout. ¡°How much?¡± ¡°That would be 15 dollars¡± I took out that man''s wallet and handed him a 100 dollar note and took the change from him before walking out of the car. ¡°Have a good day man!¡± I didn''t want to do this but¡.. ¡°Craashh¡± The car¡¯s window broke and I took gripped my fingers around his neck. ¡°Huuuff puuuufff¡± SFX: suffocation sounds He struggled for a bit before passing out. What I like about the corner I told him to stop was a blind spot in the roads. So nothing could be captured on cam. I took out the taxi¡¯s camera before destroying it. I put the man in the back seat before starting the car and driving it away to another blindspot in the area and parking the car there. Then I wore that man''s clothes and walked to hideout. The places near my hideout were all badly managed and didn''t have cameras and many other facilities. I knocked on the door. ¡°What¡¯s the code?¡± A cold and enquiring voice came from the other side. ¡°. ¡° ¡°What''s the code?¡± I really didn''t want to say this but I don''t have a choice. ¡°I am gay and one day gays will rule the world¡± My sound was monotone and I really struggled to say this. ¡°Hahahaha¡± A middle aged man opened the door and laughed out loud. He looked at my face and started laughing even more. ¡°I have to say Carter you always struggle to say it don''t you?¡± ¡°Shut up and let me in, I am not in the mood for jokes.¡± ¡°Really now, hasn''t your temper gotten worse.¡± ¡°. ¡° ¡°Again with your depression¡. It happened long ago Carter just let it go.¡± ¡°Shut up.¡± ¡°Oh well, welcome back.¡± The young man in front of me had glasses and brown hair he was wearing a lab coat which is probably very casual to him. He walked up to me and gave me a hug. ¡°I am not gay.¡± I pushed him away, I was slightly annoyed with this guy. ¡°Ohohoho~ that''s not what you said at the entrance now did you?¡± ¡°. ¡° ¡°Alright enough with this don''t you have anything to say to your best friend after being separated for years?¡± Although I felt annoyed at him he is the only family I have, not that I would ever say it to him. ¡°Its-its good to be back¡± ¡°Well that¡¯s a lot coming from you.¡± ¡°i got poisoned, check it up.¡± ¡°Oh you should have mentioned it earlier you know!¡± This guy is my only friend left and the only person I truly trust. Jason miles, a doctor of high skill but doesn''t like to be in the spotlight. Even after so many years, time hasn''t changed him. Chapter 3 ¡°Hmmmm¡. Your blood doesn''t show any signs of poisoning nor does your body.¡± I saw Jason who looked young but is actually middle aged hold a test tube filled with my blood. ¡°Not only that your cells are showing strange signs of vitality! Its as if they are filled with energy.¡± ¡°. ¡° ¡°Quite contrary to your deadpan face.¡± It seems that these few years he was living in my hideout and had made a few changes. My hideout was supposed to be a run down place where beggars lived. But it looked more like a high-tech place full of chemicals and machines. I seriously don''t understand what he does here all day but it seems like he enjoys it. My rundown hideout looks the same from outside but when you enter you can see a clean and neat room that is well maintained and had a television which was wall mounted. There is a small living room and a very small kitchen. There was a underground room below which is supposed to be Jason''s lab. Supposedly Jason was living off of treating rich people. Some sicknesses could not be treated easily and Jason would treat them. His fees was very high and regular people couldn''t afford it. Of course he would treat me for free. Some people had tried capturing him but he had his ways to deal with them. ¡°I am going to bed.¡± ¡°Okey dokey~ don''t you want dinner?¡± ¡°No¡. Where is the washroom?¡± ¡°I destroyed it.¡± ¡°. ¡° ¡°Haha haha don''t look at me like that, I made a new one it''s there on your right.¡± ¡°. ¡° ''i''ll have to take revenge one of these days.¡¯ I showed him my middle finger before walking to my right. There were two doors. I just opened the one that showed men. ¡°COUGH ! COUGH!!¡±If you discover this tale on Amazon, be aware that it has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road. Please report it. There was deep acidic and rotting smell! The toilet seemed to be yellow and wash basin looked so dirty that you would feel disgusted just looking at it. You were supposed to wash your hand here?! ¡°Bam!¡± I closed the door and looked at him. ¡°. ¡° ¡°Hehehe I forgot to remind you, I use the men¡¯s washroom for my chemicals and experiments.¡± Looking at his face I knew that he hadn''t forgotten about reminding me. I swear I will take revenge one day. I turned my head and walked into the Ladies washroom, I am pretty sure that board was there just for fun. Besides which lady would come to this place. Thankfully the ladies washroom looked pretty normal. I went to the wash basin and washed my face. ¡°I AM NOT YOUR ENEMY. NEED. WORK. TOGETHER. OR . YOU .DIE .IN ONE. MONTH¡± ¡°WHO?!¡± Damn it. What was this. It probably fatigue. ¡°NOT FATIGUE. I . Y..RR.. I..N..D¡± That creepy voice broke down, I don''t know what happened but i felt something ominous. First that poison, I was sure that I had been poisoned for a long time but it somehow vanished and now this?! I must be imagining. ¡°THUD!¡± I punched the wall to release some of my frustration and came out of the washroom. ¡°What did you do in there? It sounded like you had a pretty bad stomach. You should be careful of what you eat.¡± I didn''t want to listen his nonsense so I just went upstairs and laid on the simple sofa and put my hands behind my head before going to sleep. I was very tired so I just went to sleep. Like always I didn''t have a good sleep. Blood was everywhere I had a gun and was killing others like they were insects. It went on and on until I was covered with blood. It wasn''t mine though, not even a drop. Then she came back again like a ghost to haunt me. Her beautiful face that I could never forget, her angelic laugh and the best moments of my life. ''hey~ stop reading those boring books and come with me.¡¯ She stared at me with her angelic eyes and pulled my hand. ''sure¡¯ I would never tell no to her, not even in my dreams. ''hahaha~ come here.¡¯ She dragged me with her while laughing and the layed down on the grass. ''come here James, lie down.¡¯ I lied down on the grass and stared at her face. ''see upwards James.¡¯ I looked at the sky during the night. It was beautiful. Breathtaking. The stars were sparkling everywhere and it was just perfect with her. She kept teaching me about constellations and I kept listening to her. I was looking at the sky. It suddenly became blood red. I was back to killing again. Why? Why me? ¡°HWAAAAAH HUUUU HWWAAAAAH HUUUU!¡± I got up suddenly. ¡°DAMN!¡± My back was filled with sweat. I got up slowly and saw Jason in the kitchen. ¡°Nightmares?¡± As expected he knew me well. ¡°You should stop thinking about the past James. Think about what you will do in the future.¡± ¡°. ¡° ¡°Sigh. Me saying it won''t affect you but you at least need to eat. Wanna have breakfast?¡± ¡°Sure. I''ll freshen up and be back.¡± I walked down the staircase and went to washroom and got out after washing my face. While I was walking up the stairs I heard that voice again. ¡°YOU WILL DIE! COOPERATE AND DON''T KEEP DENYING WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO!¡± This time the voice was quiet forceful but I was used to hearing it so I didn''t shout back this time. I got to the kitchen. ¡°What''s breakfast?¡± ¡°Noodles.¡± I heard sounds of frying something in the kitchen and an aroma that could wake up your appetite was oozing out from the kitchen. ¡°Growl¡± My stomach is making noises as a result of not eating anything for two days. ¡°Jason.¡± ¡°Hmm?¡± ¡°I think I keep hearing voices in my head.¡± ¡°What did you say?¡± ¡°It''s nothing.¡± I saw the calendar on the wall it showed 26th September. Jason came out with food and gave me my plate. Since there wasn''t any dinner table we just ate on the sofa. After eating my fill I switched on the T.V. while I was watching Jason went and removed a page off the calendar and it showed 27th September now. Chapter 4 I was lazing all day long while watching Disney movies. It''s kinda childish but I feel good while I am watching it so I did. While I was watching planes, that stupid and dark voice spoke again. ¡°STOP LAZING AROUND OR YOU MIGHT DIE!¡± It was getting irritating. A voice suddenly appears and tells me I will die. Fuck you! I did discover something though. It can only speak one sentence every day, after that even if it struggles it cannot make proper words. I felt that the amount it could say was gradually improving but I can''t do anything about it so I¡¯ll ignore it for now. Jason¡¯s still busy experimenting on my blood so I was all alone. 1 hour later~ ¡°Hey James! I saw something in your blood!¡± ¡°. ¡° ¡°You probably won''t believe it but there are minute black substances that are even smaller than an ion in your blood.¡± ¡°. ¡° ¡°The black thing is what gives you that extra vitality! I want some more blood of yours!¡± I sneer at him. Hehehehe it was finally time for revenge. Jason is a experimenting psychopath so I just won''t give him my blood. Hehehe this feels good. ¡°Hey! I need some blood alright. Just a little, you won''t even feel the pain~¡± I show him my middle finger. ¡°Oy! Oy! You''re not still angry cuz I didn''t tell you about the washrooms right?¡± ¡°. ¡° ¡°Oh come on man! Don''t be so childish!¡± Suffer.. suffer more. To him it''s probably like he is not able to eat his favourite drugs even though it''s right in front of him. After half an hour I finally decide to forgive him since he was begging me so much. Unauthorized duplication: this tale has been taken without consent. Report sightings. ¡°Go and cleanup a taxi driver I left in the parking lot near the blindspot and I''ll give you my blood.¡± ¡°Phew.. at least I finally got it. You still feel uncomfortable while killing?¡± ¡°. ¡° To someone this question might seem dumb or even psychotic but I am a veteran at killing and before I didn''t even blink when I used to kill. But somehow I feel really uncomfortable while killing someone these recent years. It is one of weaknesses. ¡°I''ll just make it like he got amnesia in a driving accident and lost his memory alright. Although it''s a pain in the ass, it''s much better that killing him.¡± ¡°Hn¡± I nod my head with approval. Jason left the house right away after that. I watched Disney movies. 2 hours later~ Jason finally came back home. He cleaned that mess up pretty fast actually. ¡°Oh! You''re blood James!¡± ¡°I left some in a test tube in the lab.¡± Saying that I put on my face mask to change my appearance and walked out. ¡°Be careful James, you know what I am talking about right?¡± ¡°Hn¡± I looked at the bike in our ''open garage¡¯. I took the keys, started the engine and raced off of to a bar. I went to a cyber cafe and played games for a while. I was in a separate room and these rooms were well sound proofed so I let that damn voice talk to me. I chose this location specifically so I don''t get labelled as a mad guy for talking to myself. ¡°Hahaha YOU FINALLY LET ME TALK EH? LISTEN TO ME YOU PUNY HUMAN YOU WILL DIE IN A MONTH IF YOU DON''T COOPERATE WITH ME!¡±
