When an adventurous and a bit odd university student Marcus Collins was trapped inside a deadly game of life and death, like himself, he followed the flow~ Ordered to keep one's consciousness so the person and him stayed alive, Marcus thinks that every little thing is an adventure for him. Well, at least not for the person he's assigned to. Tyler Brock has everything you wanted; riches and fame, and even things you couldn't even imagine a human would have. But rising along all those advantages, were threats and attempts that can make him lose his life. Only a simple incident happened, yet these two different worlds collide, and the roles are now completely changed...
View MoreMarcus“Before we jump into a more serious topic, my name is Tyler Brock. I am a reagent CEO for RoS Co., this company. Nice to meet you.” He reached out his right hand, probably requesting for a handshake.The moment he introduced himself to me with a friendly and genuine smile, the cold and ruthless image I had of him dispersed in a blink of an eye. He… Is strangely different. And although I was hesitating, I accepted his hand for a shake. “N-Nice to meet you too.” I stammered.After a few seconds of handshake, he then withdrew his hand, while still smiling at me. “Well then, you must have a lot of things to ask me. Ask away.”My eyelids twitched.What? Am I just to ask away like that? Nothing else? I have been waiting for this day to come where I can ask him all the questions lingering inside my head, but now I couldn’t seem to even utter one.Tyler must have realized the frown on my forehe
Marcus“Sir, the proxy has arrived.” An elegant yet masculine voice said to someone. Its tone was relaxed, yet sounded carefully aligned which make the person behind that voice sound easy to talk to.“…Has he now?” Another voice appeared, a deeper tone with clear and prompt pronunciation. Clearly someone who is good at talking. Then silence. “…I’m not sure if I’m ready to meet him or not.”“Even though you are the one who ordered us to bring him here?” The other voice countered with a guessing tone.“I’m not sure. One moment, I really wanted to meet this person you spoke of, but the next moment, my hesitance clouds my confidence. I wasn’t even sure if he knows me.” The other guy’s tone answered reluctantly. Am I meant to know this guy or what? Because I never had a friend who worked in a fancy looking office building in the middle of the city. Heck, I d
Marcus“20…” My hand quaked. I don’t know why, but I seemed to have lost my ability to interact as an intelligent being, being a human as I am. The small joints of my fingers seemed to trembled endlessly, like I obtained Parkinson’s disease right after my eyes laid upon the amount in my bank account. If we were to ignore that six hundred dollars balance in my bank account, how many zeroes am I seeing?“One, two, three…” I began to remunerate the zeroes again. I was pretty sure I’ve counted the zeroes like more than a couple times already, but my common senses seemed to be unable to make sense of the amount I’m seeing.“Oh.” My fingers twitched at the fifth zero when a notification popped out on the screen stating ‘operation timeout’. I’ve been spending too much time counting I didn’t even notice I’ve been opening my bank app for too long while being idle.“20 million dollars…” My lips mumbled softly, slowly letting that fact sink in. How many figurines would I be able to buy with that
MarcusI could have sworn my bed was less soft than this. It feels like I was laying down on a smooth and fluffy cloud. I rolled a bit and stretched my body, with my eyes still closed. Huh, I guess I’ll just continue my sleep then.“You seem pretty complacent, little one.” A voice appeared from my right side.I opened my eyes rather slowly in response to that voice. Not that I was not surprised, it’s just I was rather annoyed when he called me right now. I mean, why must now?“…Rox.” My tone deepened in despise.The vampire quest giver raised one of his eyebrows, as if he was surprised, but smiling at the same time.“What is it?” I decided to sit up from laying down. Seeing his pale face instantly washed away all my fatigue. I didn’t mean it in a good way obviously.“I didn’t know that you could sound like that. Your voice is usually so… cranky, you know?&
Marcus Four from five days on weekdays, I would spend about three hours after classes to hone my martial arts skills. On Monday it’s judo, on Tuesday it’s boxing, on Wednesday it’s street boxing, and on Thursday it will be a lesson on weapon handling. I learned all those skills like I am out for a killing. But it’s true that I AM out to kill the monsters that chase me inside the maze. Rox never said that I should just run away from them, so I decided to fight. Running would be easy until at one point you were pushed onto a corner where your life and death is separated by a hair’s width. That’s why before that moment came, I’ll just prepare for the worst. “But that is too extreme for someone who said that they didn’t want to get bullied.” Alphonso retorted when he heard my idea of learning martial arts. “I mean, taking lesson for 4 self-defence skills all at once is ridiculous. It’s not like we are in an apocalypse.” He got a point. Though I don’t want to risk dying just because I a
Marcus I can remember vividly those jagged rows of yellowish, red teeth flashing at me. If not for the moves I remembered in one of those fighting games, and my will to live, I might have not survived if I were to be bitten by that. Though, I might have pushed myself too much during the previous level. Fighting while climbing up flight if stairs was a tough thing to do, especially when the monster that chased me is a spider type. Those spindly legs made of shiny metals could kill me in one fell swoop, but it's less terrifying compared to its face. About the description... I believe I have explained it above. After fighting for my dear life, my body aches all over when I wake up from my lucid dream. I never knew that physical capabilities are related between reality and dream. Though I heard somewhere that if you die in your lucid dream, you'll die in real life. I'll need to improve my stamina somehow. Which was why... I started personal stamina training on my own, while getting mys
MarcusIt’s been three weeks since that news, yet I still couldn’t get it out of my mind. I mean, the face of the CEO looks similar to the King inside the lucid dream the more I think about it. I tried to dispose it off as a mere coincidence, maybe the warehouse is coincidentally created similar to in real life, as dreams are a reflection of real life event and situations after all.But wait, by real event does that mean…“Aw heck!” I ruffled my bushy hair. This confusion makes me feel like running in circles, my mind is in a complete mess. I can’t even ask Rox for explanation as there were no more lucid dreams since the last time about three weeks ago.I then heaved a sigh and stood up from my bed. This is the weekend, and I just spend the first quarter of it overthinking things.Great.Deciding to finally ignore it, I sauntered to the kitchen and opened the fridge. I’ll make some pudding for mysel
Marcus“Acknowledge, huh…?” Was the first thing I croaked after waking up from my lucid dream. I was in pieces assuming that it’s all a dream—because my body feel okay despite being poisoned by a lethal poison—and a reality—because the King’s bite really did hurt like hell.I rubbed my neck after sitting up from the bed, glancing around the room randomly while looking at the objects including the VR headset that is charging on top of it’s charging spot. My eyes wandered off to the area near me, looking for the existance of an object that I aam pretty sure I received.“Ah, there it is.” I twisted my waist a bit to reach a new puzzle piece placed beside the bed. I don’t remember Rox giving me the piece, but I guess it’s like a game mechanism where you automatically get the item upon the completion of a mission.Sounds fun but last night was not fun at all.I glanced at the
Marcus’s POV“Ugh…” I moaned loudly, trying to fight the urge to throw up. The burning pain that spreads through my whole body now corroded my throat, urging me to let out all the things I have eaten. Given that I ate three portions of an unhealthy food, my barf won’t look beautiful.Or in summary, any barf won’t look beautiful.I guess the pain from the poisin do be taking effect on my brain. I can’t help cursing that vampire bastard for his rude behavior. I mean, he entered my lucid dream only to slowly kill me? What is he, a sadist? Moreover, he gave me a vague lead on everything that happens around me.What does he meant by monsters anyway? Was there really a monster in here?“Now that I think about it…” My voice croaked from the pain. The maximum amount of poison in my body—indicated by the unfaltering purple gauge that is still full—caused my health bar to deplete quite
(Marcus’s POV)So uh… Apparently I learnt something new today. That is, to not eat three cups of instant noodle and passed out to bed. The reason I said this to, well, myself of course, was because of the fact, an odd fact, of me waking up in a forest in the middle of the night.Even a mentally unstable person know this isn’t the reality, but I was caught astounded. I am probably among those people who wished to have a lucid dream; experiencing the joy of gaining control inside your dream and do whatever you wanted for a short amount of time, everyone just needs that.Thought it’s not my wish to wake up inside a dark, gloomy, terrorizing and inaudibly suffocating forest with dead and living trees mixed together, disturbing my view. If I knew I were to get thrown inside a lucid dream this realistic and, well, filled nature, I would have opted to wear a more pleasantly suitable outfit rather than these white tank top and stripy shorts of m...
