The door closes behind me and the darkness creeps in. Kingston had told me that there was a pole in the middle of the room, so I wait patiently for my eyes to focus. I move towards the pole once I could make out its silhouette, pressing the red button.
[ Welcome to the Ikanda. As this is your first time here, would you like to read the rules? ]
"No." - Ian
[ Are you ready? If you are, press the red button again. ]
The moment I press the button the wooden pole descends to the ground just like Kingston had told me, however, the moment it disappeared I feel a searing pain on the side of my neck. I collapse to my knees and scream in agony, my eyes half-closed due to the pain. It was the cursed mark from Selino, the Queen of Spiders.
