《Gods and Worlds》 Chapter 1: Hasegawa Kaoru Tokyo Japan 2015, the train stations were packed with many kinds of people, children, teens, elderly, high-school students, university students salesmen and even some of them were homeless. ¡°Shit! Every morning I have to endure this ¡° The youth who talked just now was wearing a high school uniform, he appeared to be between fifteen and seventeen years old with an average height, his name is Hasegawa Kaoru a third year student at Nishi high, every morning he boards the train to go to his school and every morning he faces a battlefield to simply cross the doors of the train due to the crowds of people, that was what he meant by ¡°endure this¡±. Kaoru like always got to his school early, many students were chatting on the way happily it was a typical scenery in Japan. ¡°Hey Kaoru, good morning! ¡° Suddenly someone greeted Him, Kaoru examined the silhouette of the person who called his name and it was the most popular and attractive girl in his school Mayumi. ¡°Oh look its Mayumi!¡± ¡°Like always she is so beautiful, ahhh! ¡° Some students were already enchanted by her appearance. ¡°Ah good morning ¡°replied Kaoru nonchalantly You might think why he nonchalantly replied to the goddess of his school but you will find out shortly. ¡°Kaoru did your brother come with you today?¡± asked Mayumi Kaoru stared at her for a second then sighted. ¡°No he never comes with me I told you the other time remember ¡°replied Kaoru with a cold tone then continued to walk. Mayumi froze for a second at the sight of the scary look that had Kaoru but immediately regained her radiant smile. ¡°Did you see?¡± ¡°He didn¡¯t have to respond like that totally the opposite of his brother what a shame ¡° Kaoru was once in love with Mayumi but he quickly abandoned the idea to confess due to his popular and perfect brother Kazuki, on top of being handsome he was the student council president and brilliant at that , he didn¡¯t have flaws and when he surprised Mayumi confessing to him his hopes were shattered and from then he was constantly being compared to him and even if people talked to him they always included his brother in their topics so he quickly isolated himself from his classmates and became a loner . After the incident with Mayumi, Kaoru headed to his classroom, his seat was the last beside the window he sat silently and began watching outside, no one bothered with him. ¡°Sight ..., this world is so boring ¡°murmured Kaoru Soon after the teacher came and class began, it was already the end and Kaoru did never pay attention. ¡°Then we finished for today, ah I will give you your tests from last time ¡°the teacher exclaimed In fact that was the test from two weeks ago, soon the students got their tests marks and the turn of Kaoru came. Kaoru slowly walked and took his test sheet, he didn¡¯t bother to look at it, he knew that he had a bad mark, the teacher mister Tanaka looked at him with a slight disdain in his eyes and said. ¡°Kaoru, why are you not like your brother I can¡¯t find similarities between you and him are you really his brother?¡± Kaoru was startled by the words of the teacher, he thought why did he have to say that .Then the students who didn¡¯t bother with him previously began to mock him with loud voices. ¡°Ha ha ha ...your right teach how can a bum like him can be the brother of that genius? ¡° Sound of laughter and mocking gazes where aimed at Kaoru but he regained his usual expression and ignored them slowly regaining his seat and like that it was the end of the day already. What Happened today was not new for Kaoru he was accustomed to it for a long time and he slowly began to ignore people or talk coldly at them his life was hellish but he didn¡¯t chose it so he endured . The narrative has been illicitly obtained; should you discover it on Amazon, report the violation. When coming home Kaoru saw that Kazuki was seated eating with his parents laughing n they didn¡¯t even wait for him to have dinner. In fact even in his house it was hell for Kaoru because even his parents never had interest in him and only doted on his brother. ¡°Always ...¡± said Kaoru with a low voice. The relationship between Kaoru and Kazuki was not good because Kaoru saw his brother talk with his friends one time and was shocked. ¡°Hey Kazuki i heard that you have a brother ¡° ¡°Hmm? When did you hear that, he¡¯s not my brother ¡° ¡°Oh I knew it he doesn¡¯t resemble you ha ha ha!!¡± When Kaoru heard that he was shocked because even his perfect brother despised him so he felt like he was alone in this world from that moment he numbed his heart and swore to never care for the strangers that was his family. Kaoru was gazing at the stars from the window of his room silently then he extended his hand toward the sky and mumbled. ¡°Is there truly a God out there? If so I¡¯m tired of this shitty life what did I do wrong to deserve this ?, wherever I go I¡¯m constantly compared to him even my two parents that share my blood doesn¡¯t care what might happen to me !! Why ...why am i like this? i didn¡¯t have the choice to live like this why??!!!!!¡± Kaoru retracted his hand from the sky and returned to his bed with an expressionless face. The day after, Kaoru like always repeated the same thing he did yesterday boarding the crowded train to go to school but with a bad after taste. Sitting in his classroom Kaoru was bored, his classmates were chatting and eating like always but then he heard something strange. ¡°Hey did you hear of the strange phenomenon that is h happening lately? The classmate who said this was a girl named Harumi she was fairly cute with decent features . ¡°Hmm, no I didn¡¯t hear, what happened? ¡° The one who talked just now was Hayama, the ace of the karate club a childhood friend of Harumi. ¡°I heard that people are receiving weird texts from someone all over ¡° ¡°Weird texts? What was written?¡± ¡°Ah it¡¯s like this I happen to have also received one today ¡° ----------------------------- Sender:???????????? ----------------------------- Hello participant 199668( Aizawa Harumi), I congratulate you to have been chosen by the Gods to participate in the survival game please prepare yourself for an intense journey.^_^ Ps: may the Gods bless you (I_I) ¡°It¡¯s really weird even the number is not written ¡°said Hayama puzzled Kaoru hearing the conversation chuckled. ¡°What a bunch of brats it¡¯s obviously some crap and..., sight, i thought that it was something interesting ¡° When Kaoru was going to return gazing from the window of the classroom his phone vibrated. ¡°Hmm? what is this ¡° -------------------- Sender:??????????????? ------------------- Hello participant 199689(Hasegawa Kaoru), I congratulate you to have been chosen by the Gods to participate in the survival game please prepare yourself for an intense journey. ^_^ And mister Kaoru there is not one God but many!! Ps: may the Gods bless you (I_I) ¡°What the fuck... how? ¡° Kaoru looked around him suspiciously, it was obviously what he said yesterday in his room, no one knew of it ,then how come in the message there the mention of what he said and the one who sent the message even knew his name ,he thought it was too strange for a prank . End of Chapter 1. Chapter 2: The white room Kaoru sitting on his desk in the classroom had his face pale, it was obviously the message that bothered him according to him it was too accurate to be a prank made by a classmate, when reading the test another time he became intrigued. ¡°Reading this it does seem surreal, what survival game and according to this the gods have chosen me? It sincerely is difficult to believe ¡° Another day passed by, Kaoru was in his room on his face a puzzled expression. ¡°The hell?¡± exclaimed Kaoru When looking at his phone he noticed that some small numbers appeared on top of the screen and it was like a count down there was exactly nine remaining hours according to them. ¡°What is actually happening, it can¡¯t be real is it?¡± Kaoru became more and more anxious, he began to not reject the possibility of the message not being false, he then thought of closing his phone but he was shocked again, the phone didn¡¯t close no matter how many times he tried, it was 2 pm and he decided to go to sleep seeing that it was not worth it to be panicked. Kaoru woke up early in the morning and prepared like always to go to school when he took a look at his phone three hours remained in the count down. Today Kaoru noticed that the classroom was quite and several classmates had unusual expressions, then Kaoru heard Harumi talking. ¡°Hayama did you see that count down? Yesterday you too received that message ¡° ¡°I also saw it it¡¯s too strange I can¡¯t stop this felling of anxiousness no matter what ¡° Hearing them Kaoru tensed up, Hayama also received the message, Kaoru deduced that all the students who had unusual expressions must had received the message ¡°Everyone I have something to say ¡° Suddenly the silence was broken by someone , Kaoru raised his head to look and saw that the one who spoke was Mayumi the popular girl and girlfriend of his brother , he immediately didn¡¯t bother to listen but the next words of Mayumi picked his interest ¡°Everybody I concur that several of you received that message right?¡± Kaoru was shocked ¡®huh? She also received that message?¡¯ how many received it exactly that was what he thought. ¡°i wanted to hear your opinions on this matter ¡° exclaimed Mayumi Mayumi is the vice president of the student council, she had a strong personality that is why everyone listened to her and other reasons of course. ¡°i can¡¯t help to think that it¡¯s not a prank because I can¡¯t close my phone at all its like it is not my phone anymore ¡° One of the students then talked, it was Kurumi the rumoured beauty of the track and field club. ¡°ha ha ha hey what are you saying it¡¯s obviously a prank by a hacker or something ¡° The one who just said this is a member of the programming club Kouji Sakurai . ¡°Yeah it must be true ¡°some students murmured ¡°Everyone we must know how many exactly received the message so the ones who received it please raise your hands ¡°asked the vice president Mayumi politely Kaoru didn¡¯t have the intention of revealing anything so he kept silent. The classroom contained thirty students over half of them received the message, the time left in the countdown was only forty minutes. During those forty minutes the classroom became silent again, then the time quickly went by and the countdown reached 0, but the strange thing is that nothing happened. If you come across this story on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road. Please report it. ¡°You see everyone it¡¯s just a prank ¡°exclaimed Sakurai But suddenly a multitude of sounds began to rang it was the phones of the students including Kaoru, he immediately looked at his phone and he saw a message appearing. ------------------ Oh hello again, did you thoughtfully prepare yourself, the time is up we will shortly begin the game made by the Gods ^_^ Instantly the class was buzzing with a variety of sounds from the students some panicked others chatting suddenly a loud tremor could be felt after that Kaoru began to feel pain inside his head before slowly losing consciousness the same applies for the others . The classroom was filled by nothing except silence, the 21 bodies of the students that received the message and lying on the floor disappeared, and they vanished like smoke. A Long period passed before the remaining students had woken up, and the televisions and radios and also the streets were in an uproar, in fact the world was in an uproar because this event happened all over the world not only in Japan. One year have passed after the event. Kaoru was still lying on the floor, he began to slowly open his eyes, he was still feeling slightly fuzzy but the pain in his head was gone. After clearing his thoughts he became confused because he was not inside a classroom but inside a huge white space , it was the most describing words ¡°huge and white ¡° because it was truly white there was nothing but white . ¡°WH...What is this where am i?¡± Kaoru became more and more confused , looking around him he was surprised because he was not alone in this huge place there was a huge number of people clustered together some still fainted on the floor some sitting in a some talking . ¡°What is actually this place ¡° ¡°We don¡¯t know when we woke up we were already here ¡° Suddenly someone behind him spoke when he turned he saw a middle aged man with glasses and slightly droopy eyes it was the biology teacher Sawada so Kaoru was happy to at least know someone. ¡°Teacher what happened why is we here ¡° ¡°I actually don¡¯t know anything, I don¡¯t remember anything, I was just in the classroom teaching a while ago then ¡° ¡°ahh !!¡± ¡°What is it why are you screaming Kaoru-kun ¡°Sawada was surprised? ¡°Sensei did you receive that message?¡± ¡°Message? ¡° Sawada scratched his head then suddenly remembered ¡°Ahh yeah actually I received a weird message on my phone but i thought it was a spam or something ¡° ¡°That thing was true we truly began that game?¡± Kaoru continued chatting with Sawada and learned that all his classmates were also here, after a while some loud noise was heard, Kaoru took a look and saw people talking with a loud voice but the strange thing is that not too far a colossal door of twenty or so meters appeared out of nowhere on the doors some big words were written ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Welcome participants to the Survival Game End of Chapter 2. Chapter 3: Strange environment Complete silence enveloped the white space, the gigantic door appeared out of nowhere all the people were stunned they have never seen a door appear like this, for Kaoru he was deeply shocked but he murmured the word interesting without realizing. ¡°Too weird! This place is too weird! I want to go home, I must go home ¡° ¡°Yes me too!! I¡¯m scared ¡° Some people began to panic and wanted to flee in every direction but in vain after going right and when the person shadow vanishes due to the distance he reappears from the left side, same from all directions, this caused despair and fright. The huge door was gold coloured and some weird inscriptions that appeared like a language were embedded on the two sides of the door. ¡°Mm? I have never seen this language before, could it be a lost Language ¡° Kaoru heard someone uttering those words calmly, he then looked on his left and saw a tall man with long hair and refined features he was maybe in his twenties , he was wearing a white shirt, jeans and a blue jacket but he appeared dignified. ¡°Excuse me mister but what do you mean?¡± Kaoru hearing his words couldn¡¯t help but ask ¡°Oh you heard me? ¡°Said the tall young man ¡°Yes I heard you saying something like lost language could it be about those scribbling on that door?¡± ¡°Well yes, do you know what a lost language is?¡± Kaoru never heard of lost languages so he made a sign that he didn¡¯t know about it. ¡°Lost languages are languages that died in ancient times and that couldn¡¯t be decrypted even nowadays we know too little about them, I¡¯m a student in archaeology and a researcher but I only know about six lost languages but I must say that those inscriptions definitely do not belong to one of those six languages, ah my researcher instinct began to tickle ha ha ha ¡° ¡°Oh i understand know ¡° Kaoru know heard of what lost languages are but he thought that this young tall man was weird he noticed that he was not in the least panicked and in the contrary rather exited, after speaking to him for a while he learned his name ¡® Kato Araki ¡° . The door didn¡¯t open in the four later hours suddenly a loud noise rang , it was like the contact of two large rocks , Kaoru instantly turned to look at the huge Golden door and found that it was opening bit by bit . ¡°Oh look that door is opening, I wonder what is inside ¡° ¡°I only pray that nothing happens ¡° (HELLO PARTICIPANTS, DID ENJOY Your STAY?) After the door completely opened, two things further shocked the people, the first was that the space behind the door was completely pitch black, absolutely nothing can be seen inside, the second was that a voice was heard but there was no source, there was no person was seen, the strange thing was that the sound of the voice was ringing all around the white space from every direction. ¡°You bastard is it you who kidnapped us!!!¡± people began to scream in every direction. ¡°Yes release us we want to go home!!¡± (HMM? HAHAHA PRTICIPANTS I MOST LIKELY KIDNAPPED YOU, YOU ARE RIGHT ON THIS BUT YOU WERE CHOSEN I HAVE NO POWER ON THIS DECISION FOR THAT WAS THE WILL OF THE GODS) The voice kept resonating in every inch of the white space. ¡°So it really was because of that message huh ¡°said Kaoru ¡°Most likely ¡°replied Araki ¡°What Gods snif ...snif I want to go home ahhhhh ¡° Many people began to cry from fear and shock but there was few who kept their calm including Kaoru, and he later will discover that his brother Kazuki was also sent to this white space Support the creativity of authors by visiting Royal Road for this novel and more. ---------------------------------- ¡°Kazuki what do we do know?¡± Mayumi was beside Kazuki clutching his arm ¡°I don¡¯t know i guess we can wait and see ¡° ¡°How can you be so calm? Are you not scared? ¡° ¡°Scared? I guess ¡° ¡°But you being with me reassure me, hey I only thought of this but there is a possibility that your younger brother to be here are you not worrying?¡± For a second indifference could be seen in the eyes of Kazuki but it almost instantly disappeared ¡°My brother? Of course if I can I will search for him ¡°a contemptuous smile appeared on the face of Kazuki --------------------------------- Kaoru and Araki were focused on the large door and the voice, suddenly a thin shadow appeared from the pitch black inside of the door, bit by bit it was clearer. The thing that appeared had the form of a human but it was not exactly human, it skin was red like blood, wearing a white mask on it was a smiling expression it also wore a long black robe , it slowly walked and stopped in front of the huge number of people present . (I WILL INTRODUCE MYSELF PATICIPANTS I¡¯M ELIAS HUMBLE SUBBORDINATE OF THE GODS AND GATEKEEPER OF THE DOOR OF WORLDS ,I SHALL EXPLAIN WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO YOU NOW) ¡°You fucking shit did do you thing it¡¯s funny to do this to us ¡° A young man wearing a school uniform and having a dyed blond hair ran toward the blood skinned masked person and attempted to hit him , but the masked man only titled his head toward the blond haired delinquent and made a gesture with his hand , the moment after the young student body disintegrated into a rain of blood that tainted the white floor , the young student died instantly like it was nothing from a gesture of the masked man , the horrible scene frightened the people to the extreme , some of them didn¡¯t have the power to stand anymore , some were so terrified that they peed in their pants . ¡°That man he killed him like that, what did he do, a simple gesture and his life ended? ¡° Kaoru was scared but regained his calm, his hellish life actually gifted him the ability to never show his emotions and keep a calm attitude. (PARTICIPANTS I MAY BE A SUBBORDINATE BUT I HAVE CERTAIN LIBERTIES SUCH AS PUNISHING RUDE ONES LIKE THIS ONE SO PLEASE DO NOT FORCE MY HAND, ALL RIGHT NOW I WILL EXPLAIN, ALL OF YOU WILL BE SENT ACROSS THIS DOOR BUT YOU WILL BE DIVIDE ACCORDING TO YOUR NUMBERS AND SENT TO DIFFERNET WORLDS, ITS THEN THAT YOU WILL BEGIN THE SURVIVAL GAME, OKAY I FINISHED) ¡°What finished¡± What¡¯s this shit ¡° ¡°No let me go home please!!¡± Araki turned to look at Kaoru and said ¡°It seems like we are in some deep shit huh ¡° ¡°So it seems ¡°replied Kaoru The blood skinned man Elias then snapped his fingers and then all the people disappeared, in the white room only remained the masked man, he looked toward the door for some time then entered inside , the door then closed slowly , anyone looking at him can sense that behind that mask is a distorted expression . The next minute Kaoru was feeling confused just now he was in the white room but actually he was not there anymore but inside a jungle at least what resembled a jungle because all around him was trees with purple leafs and the sky was not blue but light green . ¡°What a strange environment! ¡°Exclaimed Kaoru. End of Chapter 3. Chapter 4: Rules Looking in front of him Kaoru saw nothing but a dense jungle filled with purple trees and weird vegetation, the sky was light green and only the sun was normal, he was stupefied, the scenery was out of ordinary like in a fairy tale or some fantasy movie he had never seen this sort of place he was also confused but he tried to sort his thoughts to keep calm and rational he also verified that it¡¯s not a dream but reality because he actually felt some pain when hitting a tree. Suddenly some noise came from behind him , turning around he saw five people , two of them laying on the floor and the other three were standing and looking around but Kaoru recognized two of them , they were Sawada and Araki the biology teacher and the university student he talked to in the white room. ¡°Hey you are also here ¡°said Kaoru to Araki ¡°Hm? Ah! You also have been sent here it¡¯s good to see you fine Kaoru ¡°said Araki when noticing the presence of Kaoru. ¡°you too Araki ¡° Kaoru and Araki already introduced themselves to each other and also talked for a while in the white room so some sort of friendship sprouted . ¡°Kaoru you are also fine, its good ¡°said the teacher Sawada while being slightly anxious. ¡°Thanks teach ¡°Kaoru didn¡¯t have a bad relationship with Sawada Beside the two of them the third person standing was a woman in her twenties, fairly beautiful with short hair she had a frightened expression, and it was understandable being thrown in this situation was prone to give shock and fear it was just that Araki was abnormal and Kaoru was used to keep his feelings in check. When her gaze met Kaoru she tried to introduce herself but she was stuttering . ¡°H...hello my name is ...is Natsuki I¡¯m just a ...a normal company worker ¡° Kaoru just nodded and then glanced at the two fainted remaining people, then switched to look at Araki. ¡°They didn¡¯t wake up yet, it will just be a question of time before they will open their eyes ¡°Araki instantly knew what Kaoru would ask. The 2 of them were one middle aged man and a girl she was wearing the same school uniform as Kaoru , the middle aged man was wearing a suit and had a big build , the girl was not pretty but she was slightly above average and had good body features . Araki made a posture that meant that he was thinking of something then looked at Kaoru and The others. ¡°Okay we are experiencing something that is not normal and I think that the situation is not favourable due to the lack of clues at hand so we must talk seriously on how to behave from now on ¡° he said it with a solemn expression Kaoru listening to him thought that it was a logic train of thought so he nodded instantly followed by Sawada and Netsuki. The group of six people including Kaoru decided to not leave the place they appeared at for the time being because they have no information whatsoever on this foreign place . The two persons still not awake the other four sat on the floor exhausted mentally and physically, Natsuki succeeded in calming herself bit by bit but the fear still lingered in her heart. The surroundings were abnormally quite then Natsuki broke the silence. ¡°Hey mm i have something to ask ¡°said Natsuki timidly ¡°Hm? What is it? ¡°Said Araki ¡°Mm I don¡¯t know if you noticed but we ...we spent almost a day in that white room but we were not hungry I find it quite strange ¡° Almost instantly Kaoru and the others had a surprised look. ¡°You are right it¡¯s weird, normally even after three or four hours we must¡¯ve already felt hungry but I feel completely fine ¡°Araki was bewildered ¡°All of this is so bizarre that I don¡¯t know if I should be surprised anymore than this ¡°said the teacher Sawada ironically to appease the ambience. Actually if they heard that one year already passed they would be stunned for a long time, silence regained the place. Sfx: kehen ...kehen! In the midst of the silence some cough sounds were heard, Kaoru and the others looked at the source and saw the two people that were fainted regain consciousness bit by bit. ¡°Where am I? ¡° The tale has been illicitly lifted; should you spot it on Amazon, report the violation.That was the first question that uttered the middle aged man when waking up followed by the school girl, but when they noticed the strange place that they were at and Kaoru group they were confused. ¡°Who are you? Do you know where we are? ¡°Said the well built middle aged man. ¡°Yeah what is this shitty place? Fuck why I¡¯m here ¡°In the contrary the girl was quite rude. Araki overlooked the rudeness of the girl and replied. ¡°We are in the same situation, we woke up here, and there is only the six of us here so don¡¯t panic, we are at least safe here ¡°he tried to not worsen the situation for them and explain calmly. he was the one who always explained thought Kaoru and was relieved that it was not in his place, from the beginning he was taciturn and talked few he was not used to talking with a lot of people . ¡°Hey you I know you, you are the brother of that council president, that perfect guy ¡°said the rude girl pointing at Kaoru. Kaoru hearing her words had his expression turn slightly ugly for a second but he ignored her the next moment. ¡°Are you ignoring me you shithead!!! ¡° Sfx: Guaaaa!!! Guaa!! Suddenly all the six people present froze and tightly grabbed their heads with their two hands like something was causing an intense pain. Kaoru never experience this sort of pain it was almost unbearable but it subsided quickly reliving them. (A! PARTICIPANTS I¡¯M PLEASED TO FINALLY MEET YOU ! THE TWO PARTICIPANTS HAVE FINALLY WOKEN UP SO I MADE MY APPEARENCE, I WILL INTRODUCE MYSELF, MY NAME IS ELIOS LIKE ELIAS I''M ALSO A HUMBLE SERVANT OF THE GODS AND BY THE WAY ALSO HIS BROTHER, THIS TIME I WILL EXPLAIN THE RULES OF THE SURVIVAL GAME FIRST YOU ARE CURRENTLY IN A PRIMITIVE PLANET NAMED (ATTIS) ITS A PLANET THAT IS IN THE TWNETIETH SOLAR SYSTEM OF THE ATLAS GALAXY, IN YOUR BRAIN IS A SMALL MICRO SHIP THAT WILL GREATLY HELP YOU ,ALL MESSAGES OR INFORMATIONS WILL BE SENT VIA THAT SHIP , TO SEE THE RULES YOU ONLY HAVE TO IMAGINE THE WORD RULES , OKAY MY WORK IS DONE HERE MAY LUCK BE WITH YOU ) Suddenly a semi transparent cube the size of a small room enveloped the six people abruptly. The voice appeared out of nowhere in the heads of Kaoru group and disappeared, still surprised by the sound of the voice the six of them were absentminded but Kaoru followed the directives of the voice and imagined immediately the word rules, right away popped in front of him a hologram like window that contained that weird language like on the huge door of the white room but the words were instantly translated in Japanese to suit Kaoru inside the window was the following words: --------------------------------------------------- Rules of the survival game made by the gods: 1) The planet is inhabited by other creatures respective of this primitive environment. 2)The transparent membrane is a safe zone, as long as you are inside nothing will happen to you, there is a number of safe zones scattered all around the planet, a map will be sent to your micro ship. 3) There is weapons scattered all over the planet, it depends on the participants to find them, the weapons are rated from the weakest F to the strongest S. 4) There is also other micro ships that will bestow a participant a special ability, you will recognize them by finding cases with the letters??(S.A), the special abilities are rated from the weakest F to strongest S+. 5) The hunger controller is now disabled, to survive you will need to find food, anything edible will not cause problems to the participants due to the immunity system in the micro ship . 6) To clear the game a participant need to attain the dwelling of the God who reigns on Attis. 7) Lastly the participant will have two choices when attaining the God, first participate in the next survival game and receive a wining prize, second challenge the God to return to your home. -------------------------------------------------------- End of Chapter 4. Chapter 5: Heading out After contemplating the rules on the hologram window Kaoru was stupefied and also some uneasiness was seen on his face , this was an absurd and terrifying situation , not only from now on they needed to survive in this foreign environment but also the risk of dying was fairly high . ¡°Kaoru from now on I think we are seriously in a really dangerous situation ¡°said Araki with a serious look ¡°It seems we have to leave this safe zone or we will starve to death ¡°replied Kaoru The two of them looked around and noticed the transparent membrane enveloping them, they tried to touch but they easily passed through, the safe zone was large enough to accommodate six people. ¡°No I don¡¯t want to die!!! Why did this happen to me I was only working not long ago ¡°Natsuki succumbed to her fears and panicked wildly ¡°Hey please calm yourself, there is no use in crying or lamenting the only thing we can do is try to escape this predicament ¡° ¡°ahaha!! Escape?!! And how do we do that mister know it all ¡°the rude girl was apparently named Satsuki and she was still rude as ever. ¡°Hey he is right it¡¯s no use to be confused at this time ¡°said the middle aged man he also was named Satobe and he was an owner of a small company he was in a reunion when he was sent in the white room, so far he never lost his self in fear so it was good to at least talk calmly. ¡°You fucking old man!! don¡¯t fuck with me ¡°retorted the rude girl Satsuki Kaoru glanced at her and grinned. ¡°You!!! Why are you smiling ¡°seeing Kaoru grinning and looking at her, Satsuki was furious. ¡°Nothing it¡¯s only because usually the first ones to die are the type of people that are similar to you ¡°Kaoru calmly replied with an expressionless face. ¡°What, you fuck ...¡± Satsuki didn¡¯t find words because she was so pissed. Kaoru then moved his look to Araki. ¡°Araki what do we do now we can¡¯t lose our time on this, we need to find food, the sooner the better ¡°said Kaoru coolly. ¡°Your right, we have no time to argue, let¡¯s decide on what we will do immediately ¡° The group of six then sated in circle to decide what they will do from now on, Satsuki reluctantly agreed but if a simple stare can kill a person then Kaoru would have died long ago. For some time they discussed about the rules of this survival game and how to use the micro ship because that was the only advantage they had. ¡°Okay if you listened to that Elios or something I recon that he said a map will be sent to our micro ships but we don¡¯t know how to take a look at it so the first thing we need to do is know how to use the ship ¡°explained Araki then he looked at Kaoru ¡°Kaoru what do you think? ¡° ¡°Hm? Ah I agree with you remember he also said to imagine the word ¡®rules¡¯ and they appeared, maybe imagining the word ¡®map¡¯ will work?¡± suggested Kaoru The other four didn¡¯t refute the reasoning of Kaoru so they nodded except Satsuki of course. ¡°The lets imagine the word ¡®map¡¯ and see if it works ¡°said Araki The six of them then tried immediately, Kaoru shut his eyes and imagined the word map clearly in his mind, the same phenomenon happened and a hologram appeared it was of course a map, he succeeded, and it actually worked, what appeared was a detailed map with information and a list containing what kind of regions existed but what astonished Kaoru was that it was big, too big, according to this its truly is a planet. In fact it was big but not as big as earth, it can be said that this planet was as large as 1/3 of the earth. There was information about the location of safe zones, about the type of environment like deserts forests seas, also about places with food, but most and foremost about the abode of the God Attis, the final destination to clear this Game. After thoughtfully inspecting the map the group of Kaoru decided to look for the nearest food zone to replenish themselves. ¡°According to the map the nearest food zone is outside this purple forest in the north, there is also a small river that penetrates the forest from the east so we can secure water ¡°Araki completely immersed himself in his leader role. Stolen content warning: this content belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences. Kaoru began to understand the characters of his teammates , Araki was weird but he is not a bad person , Natsuki cries a Lot but she seems to easily frightened , the middle aged man Satobe appear to be calm but Kaoru didn¡¯t talk much to him to understand his personality , but he disliked Satsuki , she is rude and immature . ¡°The nearest safe zone is too far from here so we can¡¯t take the risk to go with the totality of the group¡± Araki considered this after a long time, the first rule stated that creatures lurk around so it was too dangerous to adventure blindly. ¡°I suggest choosing some of us to at least take a look deeper in the forest to inspect the surroundings ¡°Kaoru didn¡¯t realize that he was smiling. Kaoru didn¡¯t also realize that Araki also thought of him as strange normally being thrown in this situation isn¡¯t something to smile at or grin but Kaoru appeared in the contrary exited. (I don¡¯t know if this is reality or not but at last something interesting happened, I may have awaited this day to come) Kaoru was thinking deep inside his heart. Araki was gazing at Kaoru strangely for a second but shifted his look at everyone. ¡°Like Kaoru said we will choose who will volunteer?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t want to go you can kill yourselves but not I ¡°said the rude girl ¡°Humph! Its better like this ¡°said Kaoru disdainfully ¡°You ¡°!!! Shouted Satsuki. ¡°I¡¯m willing to go ¡°the middle age man Satobe moved forward and said with a serious look. ¡°Then Satobe ¨Csan, and you Natsuki -san? ¡°Asked Araki. Natsuki was startled then with a frightened look shacked her head making the sign no. ¡°Okay that leaves me and you Kaoru ¡° ¡°It¡¯s a given that I will go ¡°said Kaoru instantly. ¡°Then we three will go and you two will wait here if after one hour we didn¡¯t come then ...¡± The three males in the group then prepared to leave the transparent membrane and headed inside the purple forest , the sky was still light green its seems that the notion of time here is not the same as earth because this planet turning speed is slower . The Inside of the forest was not too dark some rays of the sun illuminated the paths for a better vision , the scenery was still shocking , purple trees and weird vegetations , there was too many colours and too many distinct vegetation , hopefully it was not too difficult to move . The three of them advanced slowly and carefully , Araki was from time to time glancing at the map to see what direction is right after a while they reached the small river . ¡°We finally reached here, we can drink at last ¡°said Satobe ¡°Yeah I¡¯m thirsty ¡°said Araki Looking at them Kaoru spoke. ¡°I feel uneasy, this forest is too quite, its absolute silence, I think it¡¯s a bad omen ¡° ¡°We are not too far if something happens we can return quickly its only 2 or three kilometres far ¡°tried to reassure Araki Kaoru decided to ignore his uneasiness and began to drink some water but when looking at the water in front of Satobe he noticed that a dark shadow was moving. ¡°Quick!!! Satobe ¨Csan move from there!!!!! ¡°Kaoru shouted loudly. ---------------------------------------- On the other hand in the safe zone Natsuki and Satsuki were sitting far apart and kept quite. Sfx : guaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!! ¡°Huh? Wwww...What was that cry? ¡°NAtsuki was startled. Satsuki body was trembling and her face was pale from fear. End of Chapter 5.
