A tall dark figure stands in front of a small little girl who was sitting on a large black wooden chair with her legs hanging down. The little girl was wearing a pretty pink dress with her black hair tied into a twin ponytail on the side of her head.
"You're small, thin, short, weak, fragile, and stupid. And what did you just told me?" The black figure mocked and suddenly burst into laughter.
"You want to help others? Find cures for incurable diseases? Don't make me laugh! You can't even help yourself how can you do those things?!" The black figure added while staring towards the little girl who was sitting still on her chair.
"Why don't you stop with those big impossible dreams and become a comedian instead. I bet you will be a millionaire by doing that." The black figure laughed out loud.
Bunny suddenly woke up with a heavy breath and slowly moved her right hand to her forehead "I will show you that I can do the impossible. Just you wait black."
Bunny slowly lifted her upper body and sits in the middle of her large pink bed which was soaked with her sweat. Bunny turned her head around and looked towards her wet bedsheet "I need to clean that up."
Bunny tied her light pink hair into a ponytail with a small black rubber band which was on her right hand while crawling off her bed. She took off the wet bed cover and walked towards her bathroom which was inside her room.
She walked out of her bathroom fully dressed and puts on her mask while walking out of her room. She grabbed her large pink bag from the couch in her living room and walked towards the entrance door of her apartment that has her bright pink shoes right in front of it. She wore her pink shoes and walked out of her apartment.
"Where is she? Why is she late today?" Bull asked while looking towards his watch with Adam and Alice tight beside him standing right in front of a large black SUV which was parked right in front of Adam's apartment.
Adam looked towards his left side and saw Bunny running as fast as she can towards them. She stopped right beside Bull and looked towards Adam, Bull, and Alice "Sorry I'm late."
"It's okay let's go to the stage now." The four of them entered the car and the car quickly went down the hill. The car stopped right in front of a black garage door that was on the side of a cake shop and entered the garage which opened on its own.
The car went down for a couple of minutes and stopped at level sixty-nine. The car went through a long tunnel for a couple of minutes and stopped right in front of a large metal door that was colored in red and has a large number ten written in the middle of it that was colored in white.
Adam, Bull, Bunny, and Alice walked out of the car and stands right in front of the door while the SUV behind them drove away. Adam took a deep breath and looked towards Bull and Bunny "Do you guys have everything you need?"
Bull and Bunny nodded while looking towards Adam who turned his head towards the door "Okay let's get inside then."
Adam pushed the door and the door quickly swung open wide while the four of them entered the lounge area. The door slowly closed on its own while Adam looked around the lounge area "Let's sit down there."
Adam pointed towards a large empty pink sofa that was a couple of meters away from them while Bull and Bunny stared towards a television that was near to them that have the best kills of the second game displayed on it with casters debating under it.
"What do you think of the performance of the Rat Pack in the last game?" A woman who was wearing a dark purple dress and has long hair which was colored in a gradient of purple from the top of her head to pink to the bottom of her head said, with a bar right in front of her with Luna written on it.
"Ah yes, the Rat Pack. Their performance was amazing their second game is wonderfully executed and the way they kill in such a uniform way's always amused me. I bet you that they have trained together well way before they entered the King's Game." A man who was wearing a bright neon yellow suit and have short and spiky neon-colored hair said with a bar right in front of him with Gerald written on it.
"I agree with Gerald but there's a player that always amazes me, every time I saw him I always want to pour all of my money into him. It's none other than Lion!" A man who was wearing a dark green suit that has short black hair said with a bar right in front of him with Zoxo written on it.
"Lion is the first-ever contestant to solve two secret games in a row which is a very impressive thing to do. So I'm really looking forward to his third game with his team the Beasts." Zoxo added while looking towards the other casters who quickly nodded.
"Is it just me, or everyone is staring at us very intensely, especially Lion," Bunny whispered towards Bull who was right beside her while looking towards Adam who was in front of her.
"Well our faces were on every single television here and the caster was talking about Lion, so we basically have a bright and shining sun right in front of us and no one loves a bright sun right in front of their eyes." Bull explained.
"LION! LION! LION!" Adam stopped and turned his head around looking to where the loud screaming of his name came from which gets louder every second. He quickly saw Roo who was running towards him while holding a large white plate full of colorful food with his mouth full of food.
"Hey there Roo calm down and chew your food, you don't want to choke before the game." Adam looked towards Roo who nodded while screwing his mouth as fast as he can.
Roo swallowed all the food that was in his mouth and looked towards Adam with bright eyes "What a lucky day for me! We're in the same game Lion! So the bet is still on?"
"Yeah but we have to finish the game first meet me at the exit and we can do our bet there," Adam explained while looking towards Roo who quickly nodded.
"Yes don't be late okay? And don't die too, see you there." Roo smiled and turned around, running away from Adam and his teammates while holding his plate full of food with both of his hands.
"What a weird guy." Adam smiled as he shook his head and looked towards an empty orange sofa that was right beside him.
"Let's sit here while we wait for the tube." Adam pointed towards the sofa while looking toward Bull, Bunny, and Alice who nodded.
"We have to find the secret of the third game." Bull said while the four of them sat down on the sofa.
"Yeah, I agree with you. Whatever is it or how hard is it we have to get it for our last member who doesn't have a Micheal upgrade." Adam looked towards Bull who quickly nodded.
"Thank you guys, but if I could do it alone I want to do it alone. I want to earn that with my own hands." Bunny said while looking towards Adam and Bull.
"Okay, but if you need help we will be there for you. I'm going to get some soda now, do any of you want some drink too?" Adam asked while looking towards Bull, Bunny, and Alice who quickly shook their heads
Adam walked inside the food area and stopped right in front of the soda dispenser which was at the end of the room. He grabbed a small cup from the side of the dispenser and pressed on an orange button that was on the top of the dispenser, that has a picture of an orange with Fanfan written on top of it.
He looked around the food area and saw Roo who was stuffing his face with food with Ella right beside him who was holding a plate full of different kinds of sweets, with a couple dozens more contestants who were eating around the food area. Adam took his cup which was filled with soda and walked back towards the sitting area walking past the Rat Pack who was staring towards him menacingly.
"Contestants please get ready for your third game which will begin in fifteen minutes, if you're in a team please gather your teammates and get ready." A man who was wearing a black suit and a blank black wooden mask said while a clear tube opened up right beside him and contestants started to crowded the place.
"Let's go guys lets give it our best," Adam said while looking towards Bull and Bunny who quickly nodded.
