It was all quiet and even peaceful during these days.
Everyone was soaking up in the reality of what would be their lives. The injured were clumped together, the insidious ones were grouping together, the ones with Points enough to become chiefs were doing just that...
Then finally, five days later.
[HELLO!?
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN... PLAYERS—
First of all, Congratulations. The first and second levels of the game have been completed and YOU are the lucky ones to make it through.
Perfect, Perfect previous level. I hope it stays that way in the next round.
And there you have it. The next level would commence tomorrow. Make sure to be on time, before 8 I mean.
Hero Dorian, Away~! ]
/CRASH/
I think someone in the next room broke the speaker they placed in everyone's room.
Even though the voice had shutters here and there, I'll be a fool not to link it to the very grating sound of Dorian's voice.
“It has started, huh?”
Then I gave a mock Hortal Combat introduction ‘It Has Begun!’
It was about 7:00 pm, so the time to meditate on oneself was negligible. Instead, a good sleep was needed.
I started forming a map of the place we were. Tasting the salt in the air, and the ever-fresh wet air, I concluded we were on some Island far in the middle of nowhere. Maybe in the east pacific.
From the hospital to the dorm, a curved building could be drawn. Well, it to be plainly, it was like a Boarding School.
There was a cafeteria, a ‘clinic’ that was too A.I for modern keep, A dorm for both male and female, the room that looked like classrooms, several halls... And the sanctuary.
I've never been farther than 50m radii from the clinic. Outside is just the lush forest. How far it goes is a mystery to me.
I plan a bit about tomorrow before dozing to sleep.
————————
‘ It's morning, why can is the sunshine so bright...?’
I blink my eyes open and see a strange scene.
“Good Morning!”
Dorian is here! How?
Well, so are the rest of us. I turn 360 degrees and see everybody else who survived the first two levels here looking flabbergasted like me.
“AHH!!”
Several heads whipped to the sound of that cry, and I follow. I see a woman hunched up strangely.
‘What should I have expected’
She was in nothing but her panties and for the last, like 5 seconds, lusty eyes had filled up on her bare breast.
“If I didn't discover you myself, I wouldn't have believed you'll be moved by boobs, Mr. Manipulator. You too! Ciel!”
Yuri would surely use this opportunity to get back at the boys for turning down her offer.
Honestly, I want to know what the boys feel when they gape at bare skin. Didn't psychological facts say that men spend One Year of their lives staring at women... That's 1:80 of their time on earth.
“Hoho! What beauty! I see I see. Ah, what lush forest. Even the cave of obscenity is wet with love. How can I not dive in?” That man, I recall he was with Kiragi when the three stood against Dorian.
He was in camouflage pants before. Now he changed to the clothes we all were given. A set of Tees and Leather pants, with heavy military boots.
He ignored everyone and moved towards the woman. The woman started sobbing all of a sudden. It became clear that we were Teleported here exactly at 8.00 am. Dorian kept toying with us every day, and it continues to get on my nerves every time. Now he was looking at their act like it was some sort of play he would enjoy.
The other males leaned forward like they were waiting for their turn, and then others bit their fingers in regret.
All of them were bastards!
I turn towards Ciel and Kiragi as if on reflex.
I see Ciel trying to push forward to stop such a charade... And Kiragi pushing him down.
‘Why?’ Kiragi's eyes did not gleam with lust nor did his face say the same. Instead, he kept his blank look and watched on as the evil was about to be committed.
I step forward to stop the man,
One step and a remember the way he fought against Dorian...
Second Step and I recall Kiragi telling us that the man, the one with Army camouflage would be a foe greater than Julius Kincaid.
Three steps and I see his vicious but confident look as he pulls the woman's arms from her breast.
Four steps and I see and could only discern a man and a woman. A big muscular soldier, and terribly violent— then me, a helpless defenseless girl. Aren't most girls like this?
I instinctively curl backward. I could not take the second step. The other must feel the fearsome aura the man emitted. He would kill any man or woman that stepped in, we could just feel it.
The man did not wait, he dragged the woman towards another spot. Dorian just looked, The men just looked, with greed for flesh in their eyes, the women looked with pity and scorn for all men.
And looked with fear. No one did anything —
“Oi, baldy. Aren't you too much of a big shot now?”
‘Who?’ I turn at this familiar voice. ‘Ciel!? Thank the gods there's still someone humane in this hell. Then there's Kiragi, why are they walking strangely? Are they scared?’
No, they weren't. Instead, it felt to me as if they were consciously trying to put off airs, to feel pompous and cool. They swaggered!
‘Why the f**k are you swaggering to save a damsel? Are you thinking yourself, heroes?’
Kiragi had pushed his trouser downwards like normally seen on black gangsters. He kept his eyes half-closed then leaned forward with his hands in his pockets. Anyhow you look it, he was trying to look like some street gangster.
But Ciel was worse, ‘Please, Ciel... Stop!’
He was bouncing! Like literally bouncing. When he steps on his left leg, he would add a little extra force to propel him higher than normal. And that's only for one leg. He looked as though he had some sort of accident on that leg.
He would c***k his finger joints, limbs, and beck at every given point.
“Just save her please!”
‘This is embarrassing’
“Huh? Someone with a backbone. Honestly, I was disappointed in you two. I thought you won't step out. That you were scared... Of the monster in me.” The man had no change in deposition or facial features, but somehow, he released a more bloodthirsty aura.
Everyone stepped back unconsciously.
Except for Ciel, Kiragi, and of course, Dorian... All this while, he leaned as if watching a show.
“Hey there, am Kiragi... You are?” Kiragi bent to the woman on the floor. They came just in time to stop the first ‘thrust’ so her legs were still hanging to leave her spot exposed.
She pushed the soldier with everything she had and hurriedly embraced Kiragi.
I had to give it to him, even with firm her boobs pressing on his chest, he had next to no reaction... Coupled with the way he interacted with Ciel... Could it be—
No need to intrude in someone's relationship.
“Thank You, Thank you...” She kept mumbling on his shoulder.
Meanwhile, the soldier did nothing to stop them, he just faced Ciel glare with a snort.
“So your name is Kiragi huh? a pity, like-minded people should really work together.
My name is Kane. Kane Hemsworth.”
“I would have shook hands, but evildoers like you are just scum in my eyes.”
‘Why is behaving like that?’
Although I've known him for four days now, Kiragi is the type with no regard for rules. He would kill without blinking his eyes. Honestly, he was a bad guy too.
So his stance now was a bit comical, especially when he patted the back of the naked woman.
“Ciel, give her your jacket.”
“Are you sure you want to be that team?” The man, Kane's words became incomprehensible. But Kiragi got what he meant.
He just looked at Kane then sighed as if he had lost a bet... “You forced me to be that team.”
“Ha! Then you've already lost. Everyone is a sinner here, everyone loves freedom... I offer all.” The eyes of Kane flicker with a proud light.
“Oi, Kane. There are trees. So many trees. Where would you fall?”
“Heh. Noobie. You mean where would we... right? We just need to create more space. The opportunities would be given.”
“Then it'll be four choices. Whatever, to us...” Kiragi blinked to the skies.
‘f**k! what in the f**k is going on?’ I turn to Dorian, he did nothing to stop them, instead, his hands were on his chin,
“Fumu. I thought O.P characters would top this time... Aish, I just lost a bet to that old man. How should I have known there'll be several dark horses? ”
I turn to Yuri, I see her with her hand on her chin...
“We'll just cut some more tress then. That'll be the perfect solution.”
‘What in the f**k is happening? Why is everyone a scheming bastard!?‘
