"Ladies and gentlemen! Good evening!"
I stared blankly ahead at the guy on the screen. The people surrounding me were all asking themselves who this guy was, what they were doing here. Questions that didn't matter to me, questions that I already knew the answer from.
"I'm the sponsor for this event, Takanohashi! Nice to meet you all!"
I knew everything about this guy and his game. I knew how he kept on testing new things for this game. I knew that he was the one who had sent those people that letter, the letter saying if they wanted somebody gone.
"We are honored to invite you all here in order to participate in this exciting game!"
Yeah, it sure was an exciting game. The game that I'd been playing since launch, desperately to get to the top 10 of the world, but I always failed. I failed because this stupid guy Ryouta had surpassed me. I was happy that I could participate in this before him.
"This plane is now on route to an island somewhere in the pacific. It's an uninhabited island if a certain country to the south. But there's no water or food around, so it's far from being a paradise."
He told everyone that this wasn't a paradise, but the chance to play a game in real life made it a paradise for me. Being in a game yourself, was every gamers dream, even mine and now I got the chance to actually be in one. It didn't matter to me that it was a game of murder.
"If you want to return home, you must finish the game. Do your best!", Takanohashi said.
"Oh believe me, I will do my best..", I muttered.
"We will not accept any complaints or requests, so don't bother with any futile resistance."
"No resistance at all here", I started responding to everything he said.
"If you do anything reckless… There will be consequences."
"I wonder what those consequences are.."
"Now I shall begin explaining the rules to everyone. I'll only do this once, so pay attention!"
I looked around the room where I saw everything trying to calm themselves. They all obviously wanted to know how to play this reckless, murder game. And I couldn't wait to see their reactions to this news.
"The rules are very simple. Just use these explosives that we call "BIM" in battle. Battle against whom…? With everyone standing around you, of course."
As soons as Takanohashi said those last words, the airplane exploded with people calling out what they thought. It was kinda silly to see how everyone desperately looked around looking for the right, weak person to kill. I touched the eyes of a little girl with blue shining eyes, who seemed to be somewhere around twelve years old. I found it sad they she would probably be the first person to die, because she looked so weak. And I saw that more people looked at her, feeling bad or feeling the urge to kill coming up in them.
"Be quiet! How can I explain this clearly…?"
The whole room became in a split second as silent as the wind on a summer day. Everyone looked straight at the guy on the screen. Some frightened, some full hate.
"There are many types of BIM, but to start off, there will only be one type. Can you feel the excitement!? You will also receive only eight BIMs, and there is no manual, so remember to use your creativity and imagination. Lastly… The most important condition for your mission. Please look at your left hand."
The whole cabin did what was asked of them and looked at their left hand. I did so too and found a green coloured chip in it. I recognised it from the game.
"I believe some people may have already noticed, but your left hands have chips implanted in them. They are microchips what allow you all to detect one another's presence. If you're thinking of removing the device, it can only be done surgically. Should your heart or lungs stop functioning, however, you will be able to remove it easily. Everyone, please collect eight of them. This is the only condition you must satisfy in order to leave the island. In other words, including your own, you must collect seven more chips."
The whole cabin was still silent, the only sounds that we could hear where the sound of us breading and the sound of something slowly opening.
"Everyone have their parachutes? Don't worry if this is your first time. The parachutes will open automatically."
The last thing I could remember was that there was a lot of pushing and screaming. The sound of guards yelling at some people and the sound of the electricity of their stun guns. I had looked into one of the guard's eyes and had smiled at him, but I didn't get a smile a back. No, the pain of an electricity shock through my body, was how he answered me. I was falling.
