Despite killing the 'flag' in my team, nobody came up saying that the other team had won…
What's happening ?
How could I ever be so foolish ?
Saving people… what am I, a freaking superhero ?
I should have just walked away.
Damn it.
But the fact that the game isn't over yet gave me a glimmer of hope…
"What did you do ?", Anya asks looking at Kevin's lifeless body.
I remain silent and raise my spear against Anya.
Since, I'm fucked either way… I should do hell a favor and send this bitch back,
It's kind of poetic isn't it ?
The first person I met here was Anya…. so, this felt like a full circle moment.
Anya reloaded her crossbow and aimed them at me.
She didn't seem surprised at the fact that I was still alive or about the fact that master was standing next to me.
A playful smile spreads over her face as she says,
"I thought you were dead, Mr. Jacob."
" We are in hell, so technically we're all dead.", I answer back.
A frown replaces her smile as she hears me,
"You th-", Anya starts to speak but stops as she hears a noise coming from our opposite direction.
I listen closely… It sounded like footsteps.
Isn't that the direction Elsa ran away to ?
Soon a man appears, his hair had completely grayed and his eyes were a stormy grey.
I gulp as I see Elsa's freaking head in his hand !
This was probably the third and final monster.
A screen appears as our eyes fall on him,

Name: Reginald Edward Harry Dyer
Information: Colonel Reginald Edward Harry Dyer was responsible for the Jallianwala Bagh massacre that took place on 13 April 1919 in Amritsar. He has been called "the Butcher of Amritsar", because of his order to fire on a peaceful crowd. The official report stated that this resulted in the killing of at least 379 people and the injuring of over a thousand more. Some submissions to the official inquiry suggested a higher number of deaths. Subsequently Dyer was removed from duty and widely condemned both in Britain and India, but he became a celebrated hero among some with connections to the British Raj.

Devil's Advice: A coward that can't handle the consequences of his actions. So, try your luck!
______________________
After reading his profile, he doesn't seem that hard to face.
Even the devil encouraged me to fight him… but the problem is Anya.
I stare at her an-
She's running away. Of course, what did I even expect ?
"Go after her.", master says.
"Are you sure, master ?", I ask him.
After seeing him nod his head, I run off in the direction Anya ran off to.

Genghis Khan and Reginald stare at each other silently.
"Why are you helping them ?", Dyer asks with an expressionless face.
Genghis Khan remains silent and continues to watch Dyer.
"Move out of my way or die.", Dyer's voice was as cold as ice.
"I shall choose death then.", Genghis answers back.
Hearing his answer, Dyer lets out a sigh and said with a slight smirk on his face,
"You leave me no choice then…"
Dyer raises both of his hands into the air and closes his eyes.
For a minute, nothing happens…. but suddenly out of nowhere a person… no it was more appropriate to call it the corpse of a person, climbs out of the ground and stands near Dyer as if it was waiting for some kind of command.
Soon, others also join him and after a considerable amount of time the whole 10-meter radius was covered by reanimated corpses. They just stood there. Most of the corpses had bullet wounds on their bodies. Women, children and the elderly were also present in the widespread group of undead. Some animals were also visible.
The wounds on their body looked fresh and painful.
Genghis Khan observed the sight before him silently, showing no visible reaction.
"HAHHAHA… are you afraid now?, Bear witness to the might of my class, 'Necromancer'. I haven't used it to this extent ever before and I have to say…. all this power feels good."
After saying this, he continues his laugh like a true maniac, but stops once he notices that Genghis Khan didn't seem that shocked.
" Why.... aren't you afraid ?", Dyer asks feeling that he was missing something.
Hearing his question, Genghis Khan lets out a little sigh and said,
" It seems that you have forgotten, young one."
" What ?...", Dyer asks puzzled.
" We are damned souls that belong in hell... we'll always be under punishment of some form.", Genghis Khan drops the bow in his hands to the ground revealing the fresh burn mark on his palm.
He lets out a little chuckle and continues on,
" Adept at using all the weapons in the world... yet unable to use them for very long at the same time.... I didn't get the chance to tell this to that brat but... it's what I deserve and whatever punishment befalls you.... I'm pretty sure that you deserve it too."
Dyer's smug grin crumbles down as if it had never even existed in the first place.
" Impossible.", Dyer said .
" Oh...but it's very possible and I'm pretty sure that deep down... you know that it's the truth.", Genghis Khan retorts back.
Instead of calming down, Dyer gets more agitated as he hears Genghis Khan's words, he raises his hands high in the air with a panicked expression on his face and shouted, "KILL HIM !"
But none of reanimated corpses moved an inch. Their eyes were glued on Dyer who had started to sweat profusely.
" LISTEN TO ME, DAMN IT !", Dyer shouts once again.
This time the corpses do move... but not towards Genghis Khan.
Seeing the corpses edge closer and closer, Dyer starts to back away in fright.
" No, stop..... it's not my fault.... it was all yours.... I didn't do anything wrong, I'm superi-" Dyer turns around to run but stops once he sees that he was completely surrounded.
An undead women bites his leg causing him to scream.
Genghis Khan watches silently as the corpses drag Dyer's body into the unseen depths of the forest.
He falls down to the ground and stares at the brilliant night sky filled with a million stars. He knew that the scenery before him was most probably fake....but to him it was the most beautiful sight in the world.
Genghis Khan feels a burning sensation at his fingertips and looks down to find that he was disintegrating slowly. It felt painful, but he was used to it by now.
" So, it's over huh ?"
A small smile blooms on his face,
" Good Luck, Kid,"
With those words, his whole body changes to ash and gets carried away by a gentle breeze.

I looked down at Anya's lifeless body with empty eyes.
It turns out that after running out of arrows, a crossbow is pretty much useless against a spear. Killing her didn't take that much effort.
She did try to plead for her life, but I ignored her pleas and killed her anyway.
I should be disgusted with myself but I was strangely fine, it might have something to do with the fact that she was a crazy bitch.
I wonder if master's alright ?
Just as I was about to head back to find master, the entire forest starts shaking.
An Earthquake ?
No... it's too sudden for it to be an earthquake.
Apart from that, there is only one conclusion to be made.
The Devil's here.
But it doesn't matter either way since I lost the game...
Is this how it feels tp make a self- goal and give a point to the other team ?
It wasn't a good feeling.
But what can I even do ?
Fight against the Devil or escape from hell ?
Neither of those options are possible for me in my current state.
The shaking stops and the view around me changes.
I'm back in the white room, but now I was all alone except for one old man who I was quite familiar with.
The Devil.
He was casually sitting on a seat, sipping some tea from a teacup. He beckons me towards him and I comply. I take the seat opposite to him and nervously wait for him to tell me why I was here.
He smiles at me and asks,
" So... how does it feel to be the winner ?"
'' Huh ?'', I ask back in a daze.
