First Round
Players : 9
Countdown [-- :-- :--]
*******
(Five minutes before the start)
The average looking young man took a deep breath , adjusted his glasses and looked at the two or so square meters room he was in .
White , a complete whiteness, the floor , the walls, the door , everything was clean white without even a speck of dust , the only things that stand out in this peculiar room was the black screen hang on the wall across the locked door and the small red box just below it.
« Sigh ....Where the hell I am ? »
Lucas woke up to find himself locked in this unfamiliar environment , from his messy ,but comfortable bedroom to a prison of whiteness .
Surprised , sure he was , but he didn't panic . As a university student , that kind of situation weren't that uncommon . In fact , it was already Lucas'second experience, the first with the fraternity hazing, an unforgettable day, wasn't it ?
He got 'kidnapped' then locked in a room for half a day and as only companion an old bucket, a broom and some empty bottles of cleaning agents .For someone with claustrophobia it may be problematic, but for Lucas it wasn't that bad, that's ,of course ,if we ignored the stench of the stinking mixture inside the bucket that was lovingly prepared for the occasion .
At least this time , the place is clean'
Lucas sat down cross legged on the floor , his back leisurely leaning against the cold wall .
There is no use for him to scream or beg the other to open the locked door, even if they were still outside right now , they won't budge , it will make them even more pleased to maintain the imprisonment instead . Therefore , like the first time , Lucas chose to rest , and wait until those pigs came themselves to release him .
It won't take long then a half a day this time , he has classes , an appointment with the dean and a team work for a project , unless a hypnotiser used his skills to make the dean sign a permission of leave on Lucas' name , someone will surely notice his disappearance.
With a clear mind as ever , Lucas focused his attention on the red box, he casually took it in his hand and unfolded the piece of paper stick on the cover , red printed words came onsight.
[Your greatest secret is inside . If you want to live don't let others discover it]
'If I won't to live...Huh?' Lucas sneered ' Perhaps they finally discovered that they have a brain and decided to use some creativity this time and add a plot to their prank, I'm pretty curious to what those pigs had cooked up ?'
The corner of his lips rose slightly , Lucas opened the box .
Inside a biscuit , just one biscuit neatly wrapped in an enclosed cellophane bag , a biscuit big enough to fit with the word 'sheep' draw on it . And beside it another note.
[The word graved on the biscuit represent your new identity . Better eat it than letting other find out about it . Once it's done , the game will officially start]
At first Lucas was confused , but when he read the small sentence at the bottom of the paper , he felt somehow uncomfortable .
[If you refuse to comply ,YOU DIE !]
'They threaten you into eating a biscuit ' Lucas frowned and looked at the biscuit 'Did they add something weird in it ?'
The biscuit seemed ordinary , and the perfectly enclosed pack show that no one had messed with it , at least that what Lucas forced himself to believe .
He didn't take the threat seriously, but somehow, he couldn't help but feel a slight chill from it , also Lucas was quite curious about that game which will officially start soon , perhaps it may lead him to a way to leave this room earlier than expected. After some hesitation , Lucas unwrapped the biscuit and took the first bite .
Cruch!
A little rough , without much sugar , the taste of butter was fully displayed,...,nothing was out of the place , in fact, it tasted pretty good , with some hot tea , it would be perfect .
Cruch!
Cruch!
Beep!
When Lucas took the last bite , a sudden sound , made him lift his head toward the originally black screen which now showed a blood red background .
Lucas immediately stood up and approached closely the red screen , a logo was stuck in the middle , three claw marks with the gray letter-W- on them .
Beep!
The sound resounded again , the logo quickly disappeared and a window pumped on the screen , A suite of words started to slid on the display .

Beep!
Before Lucas could properly digest the surging informations, the words disappeared from the screen and on the middle of the red background a countdown started.
From three hours it slowly decreased with each passing seconds .
'The game has started'
Tic!
A sudden sound followed from behind , Lucas turned around and to his surprise the previously locked door was now half opened ,letting a bright white light slid from the outside .
'The door was opened automatically?!'
Lucas wore a complicated expression , his situation may not be as what he had imagined .He had clearly heard faint similar "Tics" coming from outside his room . Other doors were opened as well!
Lucas stepped forward, and peeked through the ajar door , he put his hand on the doorknob and opened it completely.
What he saw was another pair of eyes looking back at him , no ,eight other pairs of eyes .
The nine people were now standing at the threshold of their doors, not daring to take another step forward , they looked curiously at one another ,at those unfamiliar faces ,but no one spoke and they just remained like this for some seconds exchanging strange gazes.
" So," the man clapped his hands once , then showed a big smile to the others
"Who is the wolf ?"
