"Ah…" I groaned silently, trying to hold the pain on my left eye, "That bastard, Twenty-Seven…" just as I was about to get teleported away from him, his sword managed to slash my left eye open. I don't know about the wound, but, it's bleeding a lot, and it burns.

I released my hand from my left eye, staring at my blood covered hand, "Tch." I clenched my left eye, trying not to open it. I reached into my bag. Trying to find anything to stop the bleeding, I found a piece of long bandage and wrapped it around the left side of my head, covering my left eye.

"Hm…" I tried looking around with only my right eye, it doesn't feel the same. It limits my vision greatly. I sighed in disappointment. "At least that sword didn't take my life…" I thought as I caress my long brown hair that has blood on it. I sighed some more. I looked back at where I threw the ender pearl from. "Is he going to chase after me, though?" I thought.

I walked away, trying to find a water source to wash the blood on hair and my body. After I walked about 10 minutes or so I finally found a river. It was heading towards somewhere, I saw some blocks and dirt getting carried in its stream. I happily walked towards it and dipped my hand in it. It was cold.

I formed my hand into a cup and scoop out some water from it. I slowly washed the tip of my hair, cleaning off the blood. I kept washing it without paying attention to what's around me. Suddenly when I dipped my hand into the river I noticed something. It was red, blood was mixed in it. I looked to where the blood is coming from and saw a large armored body, floating and following the river's stream. I stood up and reached for my knife. Which then I remembered that I lost them. I stared at my empty hand in disappointment.

I stared at the body as it floated past me, it belongs to a guy, and he looked like he's unconscious. I noticed that his right hand is missing, that's must've where the blood was coming from, at this moment I was thinking about where should I help him or not. I didn't know who's in it because he has armor covering his face and body. But wait, if he was coming from there, that means there were a battle there right? I think I should stay away from there. I thought as I followed the body.

[24]

"WHOA!" I suddenly woke up, I looked around as I was greeted by the others' surprised expressions, "Uh… How long was I out?", I asked them, Four smiled and lend me his hand, offering to help me get up from the floor. I took it kindly as I stood up, I looked around and noticed I was in an attic of a building.
"Nice to see that you're still alive bro." Four pat my shoulder, "Same goes for you.", I saw Penny sitting on a couch hugging her knees. I looked at her torn shirt that she tried to cover with her knees. She smiled at me, I just smiled back. I saw Six sitting on a chair looking for something in his backpack. Ten was standing behind Four, glaring at me.

"Thanks for saving us back there Four… and Ten." I thanked them, Twenty-Two did the same after that. "It's nothing, I mean, we're friends, right? Friends got to help each other!" Four smiled and sat down on the floor. I backed away and sat next to Penny. We talked about what happened on the last day. Where the game begins. Some of us already died. Probably Fourteen have killed someone already, I noticed his gauntlets had bloodstains on them.

Suddenly my stomach growled. I blushed a bit in embarrassment, everyone stared at me, "Actually… you guys are hungry aren't you?" Four looked at our faces, the others just looked down in agreement, Four looked at Six as he shook his head in reply. I looked outside the small window on the wall and saw the sun is starting to set.

"It's not too late to hunt for food now…" Four stood up and stretched his hands, "You guys stay here, your wounds were just healed, right? You must be exhausted. I'll check some of these houses for food, you guys stay." Four walked downstairs, Ten followed him, picking up two iron swords from the table near Six, leaving one more Iron sword that was supposed to be mine. There was an awkward silence between the three of us. Six stared at me and Twenty-Two with a blank expression. Twenty-Two was staring at the wall, trying to ignore Six's stare. Six doesn't really know us from the camp. Right now, he's just a friend of a friend.

"Hey do you guys…" Six suddenly bring up a conversation, Penny and I stared at him, "Do you guys… know each other? I'm pretty sure you were calling her Penny back there. " He asked, raising an eyebrow towards us. Penny and I looked at each others' eyes, asking each other if we should tell him or not, I faced Six and answered, "Yes, Twenty-Two, or… Penny and I were friends before we were brought into the game."

Six tched at me and looked away, "How nice for you people, huh? All friendly and stuff." He said with an annoyed tone, I raised an eyebrow, "It's already enough for me that Four was kind enough to pick me up mid-game. A guy like me, who has no talent or the courage to kill anyone. It hurts me with the fact that I still survive this far…" He stared at the palm of his hand, ",even though it have been only a day." Six muttered and stared at me, "Hey, how did you two meet each other? Didn't the others tried to kill you?"

Penny stared at me, we didn't know how we met each other either. It just happened. When I was running through the trees, I suddenly ran into her. We decided to work together and… well, it turned to this…

That's what's going on in my mind, but my mouth didn't want to tell Six anything, suddenly Six bring up another subject, "Hey, wanna hear a scary story?" He puts on a smile. I immediately looked towards him, eager to hear what he has to say. Seeing our expressions, he smiled and opened his mouth, "Yesterday, when the game first started…" He whispered slowly in a grim tone.

"I ran into guy.", I raised an eyebrow. Ran into a guy? Well, that's common. Everyone must've at least ran into someone here, "But not just any guy…" Of course, it won't, huh? "To my surprise, I've never seen him at the camp." My eyes widened.

"My theory is… that there is a secret, Thirty-Third person…" A chill runs down my spine, "Well, that's what I thought! But then later I noticed that it was just the late Twenty-Five!" He chuckled, our expressions turned immediately.

"But seriously, though, yesterday, I ran into a guy. Well… let's just say that I was lucky that he didn't see me. Because the guy I ran into was…" I waited for he's going to say next. Suddenly, Four ran upstairs carrying a sack. "Guys! I got some food!" He shouted as he put the sack down, inside there were bread, steaks, and some cooked chicken. We smiled and grabbed some.

"You're not going to eat? Four?" I asked him while biting into a piece of steak, "Maybe later, I'll just let you guys fill yourself and I'll eat what's left. Besides, I'm not really hungry. What about you Ten? Aren't you going to eat?" Four asked Ten who is sitting near him, "I shall eat after you've eaten, Master." She said in a humble voice, "You don't need to address me as 'Master', you know?" Four told her.

"Hey, why is she calling you master?" Penny asked, holding a bread, "Four kinda saved Ten's life so Ten owes him her life, basically…" Six answered her question.

"Uh-huh…" Penny nodded in reply, I can see her belly button through the hole on her shirt, her shirt is also soaked in blood, Four noticed this too, "Hey aren't you going to change? I mean, your shirt is soaked in blood you know." Penny diverted her eyes elsewhere. She wants to, but she doesn't know what to do because she doesn't have any more clothes. I sighed and took off my jacket.

"Here." I gave it to her, she blushed and took it from my hand, putting it on. I watched as she pulled up the zipper towards her neck. I noticed Four smirking. "Wha-What is it? You're not going to give her any clothes anyway right?"

"Of course not!" Four threw away a black t-shirt behind him, winking at me. I sighed and took another bite out of my steak. I looked outside the window behind Four and watch the sun slowly sets.

[14]

"Ugh…" I slowly woke up, I'm feeling really weak, and my head hurts like hell. I realized that I was still alive and lying on the ground. I panicked and quickly sit up. I touched my body to make sure I am not dreaming. I remembered what happened and quickly looked at my right hand. The wound was already treated, it has been wrapped in bandages and the bleeding seems to have stopped. I examined my surroundings and noticed that I was under a tent, a large piece of fabric being held up with two sticks beside a river. I heard a silent humming near me and quickly snapped my vision towards it. And there I saw a girl cooking a chicken on a campfire with her back facing me. I slowly stood up and walked towards her.

"This sould be an easy kill," I thought, slowly sneaking towards her. When I was right behind her, I pulled my fist back, preparing to punch her behind her head. Just as I was about to launch my fist. A thunder roared behind me.

BOOM! The sound of the thunder was muffled a bit by my helmet. The girl quickly looked back to see the lightning. Instead, she saw me with my fist up. She was one-eyed, her left eye is covered with bandages. She must've got injured. "Oh, you've finally woke up." She said in a calm tone. I put down my fist and looked down at her. She pulled the chicken out of the fire and handed it to me.

"Here," She said, handing the chicken to me. I hesitated a bit as I took the cooked chicken from her hands. She leaned against the stone wall. Looking towards the river behind me as the rain started to shower down.

I looked at her, raising an eyebrow under the helmet. "You're not going to eat it?" She asked. Does she not know who I am? I could just bash-her-skull-in this instance! I thought. My stomach rumbled, and I decided to shook away my intention of killing her. I slowly loosen the strapping of my helmet and raised it slightly, so it only reveals the lower part of my head, my mouth. I opened my mouth and bite through the hard, well-cooked meat. It was still hot, but I ignore the burn and kept on eating. Suddenly I remembered about the girl, I lower the helmet back and peeked through the helmet's eye holes. And saw her sitting there staring at me. I handed the left piece of chicken and gave it to her. She smiled and rejected my offer politely, she said she already ate. I was glad and finished the rest of the chicken.

I'll let her stay alive for now because I'm pretty sure she's saved my life. She must have been the one who pulled me out of the river, and treated my wounds, and she also fed me. So killing her now would make me feel bad. Which I usually don't feel at all. I noticed a red potion sitting on the ground near her. I quickly crawled towards it. She noticed me and took the bottle.

"No." She said, "You can't use it." I stared at her through the helmet. "Why can't I?" I asked, "Healing potions heal wounds, but does not grow limbs back. Same with my eye…" She looked down, she's right, healing potion does not heal that good, I need a regeneration potion instead. I looked at her left eye. Blood is soaking the bandage a bit. She must've lost her eye to someone.

The rain started to get heavier and I crawled closer to the stone wall to avoid water splattering on me.

[7]

"I wonder if this is the right thing to help him…" I thought. Fourteen is really strong, but he often ignores other people. No matter how hard I try I can't seem to pierce his armor. And I can't kill him with my bare hands obviously. So maybe, for now, It would be a good idea to befriend him.

The moon started to rise and the sky went dark.

[8]

"Hm… Where did he go?" I whispered silently, looking around the dark forest trying to find where Fourteen has gone. And I thought I could loot his corpse if he bled out. But I guess that's not the case since I haven't heard any announcement yet…

The cold drops of water rain down on me, as it slowly drenches my clothes. I sighed and tried to protect my head from the rain, hiding under the tree leaves. I shivered a bit as my body started to get cold from the rain.

I tried to calm myself down, trying to ignore the coldness wrapping around me. Suddenly, something caught my attention. Above all sounds, over the sounds of water drops and the sounds of moving leaves. I heard a sound of steel hitting each other, a sound of clanking. It might just be falling object, but I decided to investigate what it was. I followed to where I heard the sound from. I walked through the rain and trees, and there I saw somebody. A guy, carrying a considerable amount of weapons. I gazed at him with amazement in my eyes.

He is carrying a spear on his back. And he also has 3 short weapons. One of them is a small sickle, tied onto his belt. The other is a sword, sheathed on the other side of his belt. And the last one is an axe. Which he carries in his hand.

He has a hoodie which he pulled up to cover his head. He's walking somewhere, I decided to follow him since his supplies would greatly help me.

I kept following him for quite a while until suddenly, he stopped. Of course, I stopped as well, thinking that he might've noticed me. I tried to hide behind a tree and peeked towards him. He was staring upright towards something. I looked to what he is staring at and saw a dim light coming from the second floor of a building. We've arrived in some kind of a village.

I looked at him, waiting for what he's going to do next. He looked down as and put his axe down. He climbed one of the trees and peeked through the window from a distance. I can't see what he's looking at, but I bet he must've seen somebody in there.

A lightning strikes behind me and made a shadow of me flashed on the wall of the house. Realizing this, I quickly hide behind the trees again. Did he saw me? I peeked once more and saw him still staring at the house.

[30]

I opened my eyes, waking up from my sleep. I looked around and was surprised since it was already dark, a lightning struck and kinda surprised me a bit, which made me flinched. I noticed a small torch attached to a wall across the room. Lighting the room a bit.

I was resting against a wall, I tried to stand up and examined my surroundings. I was in a small bedroom with wooden walls and floors. It was raining heavily outside and the roof is leaking a bit, making a water dropping noise once every now and then. I looked towards the bed and saw Nine sleeping with the blanket covering her neck down. Her lower face was covered a bit and her hoodie was covering her forehead.

"Wait, wasn't I'm the one who were sleeping there?" I thought. Then I saw Thirteen, sleeping in a position similar to what I was in. Leaning against a wall near Nine. His sword was dug into the wooden floor and his shield was on the floor not far from it. The torch flickered and made me looked at it.

Suddenly I saw something that almost made me shit my pants. There was another guy, he's sitting on a chair with his arms crossed, he's staring at me with his black eyes. I screamed, the guy immediately shushed at me. "Why is Eleven here?" I thought, staring at him as he looked away from me and gaze through the glass window.

I was dazed and started thinking about how he got here. Was he trying to rob us? Is he a stalker? Is he a ghost? I kept asking myself questions until a lightning struck again and snapped me back to reality.

I walked up to him, wanting to ask a question. Just as I was about 10 feets away from him, he pointed at a table. I looked towards the table and saw a piece of bread and bowl of mushroom stew. I licked my lips and ran towards it. Since I just realized that I was starving. Eleven stared at me as I devour the food.

"You've been out for 7 hours…" He whispered loudly. I looked at him over my shoulder, surprised that I was unconscious for such a long time. But remembering back, it was noon right? But now it's already dark, looks like midnight.

"Between that time, Thirteen accepted me into the group. Now I'm staying up on guard." He told me, ignoring the fact that I'm not responding. I finished eating my food and gulped down the rest of the mushroom stew. I exhaled, feeling satisfied after my supper.

It was just an awkward silence for the next 30 minutes or so. Nobody talked, I just stared out the window the whole time, the rain kept getting heavier and heavier.

Suddenly, a quiet creaking sound came from downstairs. It caught Eleven's and my attention. I looked at Eleven wondering what we should do. Eleven put his index finger in front of him and shushed silently at me. He stood up, grabbed his shovel, and slowly walked towards the stairs. I looked around trying to find something as a weapon. I can't find my stone sword so I decided to borrow Thirteen's Iron shortsword instead.

Eleven looked down the dark stairway as I walked behind him. He nodded at me, signaling something. Then he walked downstairs with his shovel in hand. "Why won't he use something else?" I thought, but I'm not going to ask him that.

I followed him downstairs and he led me towards a living room, and there Isaw the door opened wide, the cold wind from outside is entering the room. Eleven looked around to make sure it's safe. I started to breathe faster. I was feeling scared.

"Go warn the others" He whispered. I stopped for a moment and nodded, then I walked upstairs to wake up the others.

[11]

"Go warn the others," I told Thirty. He walked upstairs in my command. I suspected that somebody opened that door. Judging from the creaking sound it made. It must've been opened slowly. I walked slowly towards the door while looking around at the same time. Being cautious if somebody is in the room. The wooden floor I stepped on is making a squeaking voice. And a thought came to my mind. If somebody walked in the room. I could've heard his footsteps at least. So from the time it took for me to walked downstairs. It almost impossible for me not to hear him. That made me relieved a bit. I walked a little bit faster towards the door and closed it.

At times like this. What you need to do is stay calm, you're not going to be able to perform your best if you're panicking. You always need to be prepared to defend yourself from danger. I turned around the door and looked around the dark living room. Nothing suspicious there. All I can hear is the sound of waving trees and the sound of rain hitting the glass window.

I decided to walk back upstairs and suddenly, I heard a sound of clanking steel. That made me froze for a bit, it's coming from the back of the house, from a room across the corridor. My heart beat faster, I noticed that I was getting afraid and tried to calm myself down. I took a deep breath and walked towards where the sound was from. I made a noise every time I took a step.

When I was right in front of the doorway, I thought for a while. What if there's really somebody in there? What am I going to do? What if I die? That thought keeps appearing in my mind as I slowly walked through the doorway. My body kept screaming for me not to do it. I slowly looked right and left. And there was nobody in there. My body is shaking. I was relieved that it was just my imagination, I sighed and turned around.

Shunk! I got pushed back, suddenly a spear dug itself into my chest. What the fuck just happened.
I quickly grabbed the spear by instinct and pushed it out of my chest, blood spurted out of the wound. I quickly jumped back and breath heavier as I tried to cover the wound with my hand. I take a look at the attacker and saw a guy, he's wearing a hoodie that he pulled up onto his head, his face was covered with shadows, I can't recognize him since it was dark. He dropped the spear onto the floor and pulled out two weapons. A sickle and a sword.

I should scream for help. Just as I inhaled and tried to shout, I coughed out blood. Shit… I thought. I gripped my shovel tighter and decided to attack him. Even if I'm going to die, I need to try to at least land a hit on him. I ran towards him and raised my shovel over my head, swinging it downwards. He raised the sword on his left hand and cut the head of my shovel, the handle was made out of wood so it immediately breaks. Then he reversed-gripped the sickle and stabbed it into my lower abdomen. He pulled it straight up and it ripped my stomach open. He then pushed me away and the sickle got pulled out of my stomach. I fell and hit a wall, leaning against it.

Shit. Shit. Shit. I thought as I stared at my opened stomach. Ironically, I can't feel a thing. But my head keeps telling me that it hurts like hell. It's kinda embarrassing with the fact that I'm not able to land a single attack on him. Impossible… to survive. I thought.

[13]

I suddenly woke up from the sound of the cannon.

"Number Eleven has been slain." I looked up and saw Thirty with a pale expression, he's shaking my body.

"THIRTEEN! WHY DID YOU JUST WOKE UP NOW!?" He said with tears in his eyes. I was still confused since I just heard Eleven got killed. I was dazed for a second but I immediately stood up and ran towards my shield. Thirty handed me my sword and rushed to wake up Nine.

I ran towards the stairway and looked down from upstairs. It was dark downstairs. I looked at the dark corridor below and wondered what I should do. Suddenly a hooded guy just walked across the corridor. My heart stopped as if I just saw a ghost. He left a blood trail behind him. And he was carrying weapons. I just stared at him while he walks across from right to left towards the living room. I was confused about what to do. Was he the one who killed Eleven?

I rushed down the stairs, making a lot of noise in the process. Just as I reached to bottom floor. A spear hit me from the left. Piercing my shield and pushed me backward. I struggled as I was trying to hold my shield. I peeked over my shield and saw a guy wielding a spear with two of his hands. Pushing the spear towards me. I shouted as I fend the spear away with my shield and ran towards him. I swung my sword from my back towards his neck. He blocked it with his spear. Fending it off and managed to land a counter attack with his spear and cut my cheek a bit.

I dashed towards him and pushed him back with my shield. He staggered back and stopped for a while. He looked at me, even though I can't see his face. Thirty walked downstairs and stood behind me. The guy noticed this and threw his spear towards me, I dodged it to the right and the spear flew past me.

"AGH!" I heard Thirty screamed. I looked behind me and saw the spear was stuck on his shoulder. "OH CMON! I've just arrived!" He screamed as he put his hand over the wound. The guy rushed towards the door and kicked it open. He ran through the rain towards the woods. I stared at him as he disappeared into the forest.

"Thirty!" I ran towards him and wanted to pull the spear out. "Nonono!" He resisted. "Shit! It hurts so much!" He cried. I looked to my right and saw Nine with her hands over her mouth. She stared at us from upstairs.

"Nine! Help me with him!" I yelled. She rushed downstairs and kneeled down next to Thirty. "Um, uh, w-what should I do? I'm not a d-doctor!" She was shaking, a lot of blood came out. "You're bleeding so much! Ah… f-first, we need to-" Nine kept muttering words as I noticed something across the corridor, in a room, the body of the dead Eleven was there facing me. Horrible chills ran down my spine as I stared into his blank dead eyes.

"Eleven…" I whispered. Nine noticed me and looked towards where I'm staring at, only to gasp afterward. It was just like some kind of a horror movie. His stomach was open wide and blood was all over the floor. His intestines were spilling out.

I tried my best not to throw up.

"T-there's something there, huh? S-should I look at it?" Thirty asked with his back facing the body. I looked at him and shook my head. I slowly walked towards the room, planning to see his wounds, every time I got closer to his body my chills keep getting worse. When I was right in front of the doorway. I hesitated a bit, I looked at him once more, his eyes seems like they were staring at me. I gulped down and took another step. Suddenly his head tilted to the side, I quickly reached for the door knob and closed the door.

Nine stared at me. I looked at them and put on a smile. "Let's just, focus on helping Thirty for now…" Nine eyes widened. "How could you say that? Does Eleven's death mean nothing to you?" She said, looking angry.

"Well, what can we do!? Many people have died for the past two days! Eleven is just one more of them!" I shouted and immediately regretted it. Thirty pulled out the spear and whimpered a bit, then he turned around and stared at me. "Dude… what is wrong with you?" I stared back at him, "You were the one who've been saying that you don't want to kill anyone, but after one of our friends has died, you want to just forget about it?" Nine shouted. I shouted with anger: "Friends? We just met him today and you're calling him a friend? There's nobody here you can call friends. We all have to kill each other, remember? Don't act so wise if you haven't done anything to protect anyone!" I shouted. She looked down, clenching her fists. Then she ran outside towards the rain like the attacker did.

"H-hey! Nine!" Thirty stood up and wanted to chase after Nine. But he stopped and looked back at me for a second. He stared at me with a disappointed look on his face. Then he ran outside and chase after Nine. "Nine! Wait!" He shouted as his voice moves farther from me.

I stood there motionless as I rue my words. "Bad move, Thirteen." A male voice came from the living room, I looked and a guy walked in front of me. He was soaking wet, he crossed his arms and stared at me.
