GOLDILOCK : What do you say, Arizona? You feel the squeeze? Imagine what you could have if you go in with me and help me!
(Goldilock still had Arizona's hand placed on her bosom. Arizona slowly withdrew his hand. Goldilock let go with a little smirk.)
ARIZONA : That's.....
GOLDILOCK : (Eagerly) .... Yes?
ARIZONA : That isn't a thing a lady shouldn't do you know. It's indecent.
GOLDILOCK : Wait, what do you mean?
ARIZONA : I mean no, I can't help you. I am going in for my own purpose. By the way thank you for letting me touch. It was a good sensation, you know.
(Arizona walks away from her to stand somewhere else. Goldilock was standing still.)
GOLDILOCK : (to herself) What kind of man was that. He did not gave in to his temptation. He doesn't even care if I reveal his secret to the people around here. I thought it would be easy for me to manipulate him to follow me. But it was not....
Looking at his power back in the locker room, I am sure that guy is already stronger than more than 70% of the participants. He does not use a gun or a sword, or even his physical body. His power was out of my comprehension.
No... If I want to find that item, I have to go with him. I can fight enemies myself too, but the more people with me, the quicker I will find that item...
(Goldilock started searching in the crowd for Arizona. She passed Eight Lie and Close Eyes while searching. Finally, she found him. But before she was about to talk to him again, the commentator started an announcement.)
ROLLER : Hello and good evening to all our participants as well as the audience listening to us! The time is 5.45 PM, and the race will be starting in the next three minutes! So before the race begins, we shall provide the new people listening to this with some information and rules about the game!
The basic rules are as follows -
1. Participants are required to enter with a fake in-game name. The real name shall not be revealed.
1. They are allowed to bring weapons to fight the creatures inside the Void.
2. The loss of the participant's lives are not the Industry's responsibility. So, they have to be careful! That includes any form of suicide and murder too!
3. After September 6, the participants that are still inside the Void will be automatically teleported outside.
4. Only the first eleven people who escape the Void will be considered as winners. The total winning amount is 300 Million Mackenzie!
5. There are various loots and items inside the Void. The participant who collected the item is handed the responsibility of keeping it safe from others.
6. The contestant's location will be constantly checked with the help of the tracking band on his or her right wrist.
And finally -
7. Not all the locations and places inside the Void is known. Matter of fact, more than 60% of the Void is still a mystery. For the known 40%, contestants are given a map with the names of the places marked on it.
That's it! Only one more minute left. The gates of the Void are opening!
(Everyone looked at the gate that was present in the room. The gate slowly started opening. A lot of fog and smoke came out of the door. Inside the door was a room with another circular door. The participants grabbed their weapons. Eight Eye and Close Eyes cracked their knuckles. Arizona touched the Cube. Goldilock was to call out for Arizona, but she decided to get ready first. From behind her back, she pulled out a sword. It was shining, and ready to slash anyone.)
(The circular gate opened. Roars of winds were heard, followed by a chilled and terrifying breeze. The gate to the unknown world was opened.)
(The participants started walking towards the gate. One by one, they stepped inside the pitch darkness. Arizona started walking inside too.)
ROLLER : And here, ladies and gentlemen! The historical game of survival has begun! The Void Game.... Has begun!
