"Without wasting any more time, let's start the GAME!" the wizard said.
They all turned towards Levi.
"Come on, how bad can the game be? Let's play till we figure out how to defeat that old bastard," Levi replied.

A FEW MOMENTS LATER
Mello was running away from the monsters who looked at her while drooling, Daisy being coiled by the giant snakes, Hina fighting for her life and Levi half-swallowed by the man-eating tyrants.
"This is the total opposite of what I thought," Levi shouted.
"Come on, don't stop playing unless you want to die," the wizard laughed maniacally.
He has lost his mind; I have to do something.
Hina rolled the dice and the next moment was being chased by the horde of wild dogs.

ANOTHER FEW HOURS LATER
"Congratulations my friends, you all have successfully finished the game. I'm impressed," the wizard said.
"So, it means we can go now?" Levi asked panting.
"Oh no my friend, the game has only started. We will have a lot of fun time together," the wizard said with an evil laugh.
"I hate you!" Mello yelled.
"This is a game of truth or dare, pretty much everyone knows how to play but we will add something to the game to make it more interesting," the wizard appeared unusually excited.
So, truth or date is famous here too? I remember playing during math class which was a very boring subject.
"Let's begin the show, bastards," the wizard shouted.
The wizard snapped his finger and this time they were inside a small room with a table. The four of them sat surrounding it. The table had a round-shaped device with "Truth and "Dare" written.
"Let's start with the pervert, spin the wheel!" the wizard shouted excitedly.
"I'm not a pervert!" Levi shouted again.
Levi sighed and spun the wheel, it landed on "truth."
"That's good, ask me anything," Levi said.
The wizard placed a box before him.
"Do I have to pick from it?" Levi asked anxiously.
"Go ahead," the wizard said.
"What is the biggest lie you ever told your parents? Augh! That's a very simple question. I once told my parents that I like math. That's a clear lie but I don't understand how they believed me even though I scored almost just pass marks in all my exams," Levi announced.
There was a moment of silence.
"Surprisingly, that's true!" the wizard clapped his hands.
"Ok, I goooo next," Mello said picking a card from the box.
Mello turned her gaze towards Levi.
"What happened?" Levi asked.
"Attempt to impersonate the person sitting on your right," Mello announced.
"It's easy," Hina said.
Mello cleared her throat. "Ahem! I'm Levi, the most handsome guy in the town… that's not true, I'm joking. I treat my teammates like animals, I don't even know what magic is, what a knucklehead I am. And one last thing I'm a pervert," Mello finished her task successfully.
"This game is arranged especially to tease me," Levi shouted.
"That was nice," Daisy cheered.
"What's your biggest regret?" Daisy read her task. "Well, joining this team would be my biggest regret, that guy Levi none of us like him."
"WHY THE HELL DO YOU GUYS HAVE A PROBLEM WITH ME?" Levi shouted. "I want to go home."
"Please stop making fun of him," Hina said.
Levi lifted his head. There's no point in saying that.
"Let someone tickle you and try not to laugh," Hina read.
That's simple.
"Daisy… do it," Hina said in a low voice.
Even though Daisy did her best, Hina didn't laugh.
'OK! This marks the end of the session," the wizard said.
The next moment they were teleported to a big room with four beds.
"What's this now?" Levi groaned in frustration.
"I'm sick of this," Mello said sitting on the bed.
"Oh my dear constants, take some rest, we will start our third soon," the wizard said, who was invisible.
"At last some rest," Daisy said happily.
"Have you guys forgotten our real purpose coming to this mansion?" Hina reminded. "Let's get this over and return home."
"But this place is better than that stable," Levi announced.
"I might have to agree with you but…" Mello replied.

THAT NIGHT
"It's been a while since we heard something from that old bastard," Levi said.
"I'm so bored in this room," Daisy said in frustration.
"Why don't we go outside?" Hina suggested.
Mello slowly opened the door and looked at the passway, it was empty and silent
"It's clear, let's go,' Mello assured.
The four of them came outside and walked downstairs, the wizard was comfortable sitting on the big chair.
"What are you kids doing outside?" he shouted.
"We are not kids," Levi shouted.
"Oh, how can I forget… you are a pervert," the wizard laughed.
It's not funny anymore.
"Your time has come old man," Mello said.
"I'm afraid, what are you little toddlers going to do?"
"Who the hell are you calling toddlers?" Levi said.
"You," the wizard replied and muttered something and to their horror, Levi turned into a small kid
"How does it feel to be a nine-year-old again?" the wizard laughed.
Levi started crying. What the hell happened to me?
"Don't try to oppose me or I will turn every one of you to something you can't even imagine," the wizard warned and disappeared.
The four of them returned back to the bedroom while Hina carried Levi in her arms.
"He looks kind of cute now," Mello said.
"I was always cute," Levi replied.
"That's not how you talk to elders," Daisy laughed at him.
Mello grabbed his leg and turned him topside down.
"Mello, that's dangerous, put him down," Hina warned.
"Once I return to normal, you will pay for this. Ahhhhhhhhhhhh! DAMN IT!"
NARRATOR: Toddler Levi sounds even more painful, but let's see what holds for our heroes in the future.
"TURN ME BACK TO NORMAL!"
