A/N: Hi everyone. This is a new story I'll starting. The plot is based from the movie The Incite Mill- 7 Day Death Game. I'm writing a yugioh version of the movie. The first chapter is a little on the short side but I'm still deciding on a few details and characters. I also wanted to know if anyone is even interested in reading this story. This is my first attempt at a survival horror and I'm going to try and stay close to the movie along with adding a few extra characters. Hope you like it. Tell me what you think of it so that I know whether or not to continue.
It was the beginning of summer. The sun shone brightly in the sky making it very hot out. A light breeze and a few clouds in the sky made the heat bearable, though. The streets and shops were crowded with tons of people. Everyone seemed to be rushing from one place or another. There were so many people excitedly planning trips, going to the beach, or just hanging out with friends.
Yugi would love to be one of them. He often wondered what it was like to have friends. Yugi was somewhat shy. He had trouble finding people that like the same things he did and was quite often picked on for being so short for his age.
He stood in a small store near a magazine rack reading a newspaper. Since Yugi was young he had lived with his grandfather who owned a game shop. Living above the shop was a blast for him. He might not have had any friends but all the games the shop had to offer kept him busy and more importantly keep him from thinking of just how alone he felt.
The shop sold all sorts of games; board games, cards, puzzles, and other such games. The only problem was that not many people played them any more. People these days preferred video games or sports. The shop wasn't making much money.
Yugi sighed as he closed the paper he was reading shut. None of the help wanted ads fit him. He normally just dueled in a couple tournaments to earn some extra money but there hadn't been any lately.
"Is something wrong?" a voice asked nearby as Yugi ignored it. No one ever talked to him. No one besides his grandpa ever acknowledged him. He was sure what he had heard was directed at someone else.
"Hello?" a gently feminine voice called again slightly annoying Yugi making it hard for him to think. He wish whoever this girl was talking to would just answer her already. He quickly put the paper back planning to leave so he didn't have to deal with all the noise.
"Excuse me" the voice came again but this time a hand touched Yugi's shoulder making him jump and quickly turn around. Before him stood a girl who was almost two feet taller them him. She brushed her brown hair back behind her ear before watching him with her blue orbs curiously.
"hmm….Yes?" he was suddenly confused and unsure of what to say.
"You okay? You seem a bit troubled by something?" she questioned slightly rising a brow at Yugi's wide amethyst eyes gawking at her. He quickly snapped out of his surprise that someone was actually talking to him.
"Ye-yeah, I'm fine. Just not having much luck in my job hunt" he replied honestly to the girl who smiled at his response. A sudden gleam flashed in her eyes.
"I can offer you a suggestion if you like" she smiled up at him innocently making him gently smile back and nod. He didn't mind the help and the girl seemed nice enough. Maybe, just maybe, he was finally going to catch a break.
"I'm joining a group for this experiment. A physiological experiment. They're looking for all types of different people for their study. The pay's not bad either" she informed the boy looking through her cell phone.
"Their going to put a group of people together. A group of complete strangers and see how well they get along together" she continued handing him her phone which had the job's ad that she was talking about. His eyes slightly widen.
"112,000 yen($1,236) an hour" The job was to live in some facility with a few strangers for seven days.
"I've already joined and know they're still looking for more people" she added making Yugi look away from the ad and back to the girl in front of him. If this was true he wouldn't have to worry about money for quite some time.
"I have to go. It was nice meeting you and I hope you decide to come. At least than I'll know one decent person will be there. Hope I see you again" she chimed quickly leaving as Yugi stared after her. He blinked a few times unsure if that really just happened before staring down at the paper in his hands.
He probable should have thought about it a bit more. It was a bit odd and something about the whole thing seemed a little off. A smart person would have questioned the whole encounter, this job, and Yugi was usually the kind of person that was curious and always questioning, but for the first time he decided to act before thinking. He wasn't sure why he was doing it but then again he knew the reason. He was tried of being so alone. He wished so deeply for friends. That he wouldn't be timid around others. His reasoning was that girl. She talked to him and seemed really friendly. The thought of making a friend was reason enough for him.
He quickly wrote down the number that he had saw on the ad she showed him before he forgot it before heading home to call. He excitedly walked home with the thought of the seven days he would have with that girl. If only he knew of the mystery that waited in the underground facility that would be his home for those days. The horror that would unfold before him.
