Everything he says suggests that I expected Them to do something. Unfortunately, this time I was right. They woke us up in the middle of the night.
~Trial six will begin soon!
Please be prepared!
Facing Fear!~
I can't complain, the name couldn't be better than that. I can say that my biggest fear is losing Selena. She's the only person I can talk to. Although the hatred between us hasn't disappeared, we "slept" together in a former food stall.
At least we were protected from the cold and rain. What I can say is that I still don't know, but I hold her as if my world depends on her. Luckily, this time fortune is on my side.
'Where the fuck am I?
Where is Selena?
Where is everyone?
Why do I only see black?'
~Trial six will begin in 5 minutes.
Please get ready!~
'What the hell is happening to me?
Have I been teleported?
I equipped my knives from the goblin treasure just in case.'
~Trial six: Facing Fear.
Kill your fear.
Conditions: 1 Time 1h.~
"Only one condition?
Well, it's understandable what will happen if I don't win.
Light?
What the hell is THIS?
I can't tell if it's made by Them or if it's really Them...
No, no, no!!! Anything but this...
Mom, Dad? What's happening?"
~Kill Fear!~
"No, no, no, I can't... Are you insane?
Mom, what's happening?
Why do you have a sword?
Dad, what are you doing with an axe?
Aaa?
Aghhh!
Blood?
My abdomen bleeding?
Why?
Who?
You?
Not you too, Alex!
Please stop!!
I don't want to kill you!!!!
Am I stabbed?
Do they want to kill me?
Why?
Mom, put the sword down!
A gunshot?
Who?
Selena?
You?
What are you doing here?
Why?
Are you crazy?
Why? Another gunshot?"
~Kill Fear!
45 minutes remain.~
" I'm an idiot!
Really an idiot... Of course, they'll make me face my biggest fear.
Alright!
But are they just illusions? Or are they real?
If they haven't died yet?
What if I kill them?
Noooo!
Please, put the weapons down!
Not you, David! And you, Ioana? Marco...
Noooo!!!
Please!
I beg you, put the weapons down!"
~Kill Fear!
40 minutes remain.~
" I'm sorry!
Even if you're real, I can't let you kill me.
I'm sorry!
All I can say is that I left behind a massacre. Those images will be imprinted on my eyes forever. I killed my parents, my 8-year-old brother. I killed my friends.
Do these Gods have no limits?
What a question?! If they had a shred of kindness they'd only do this
The good news is that the passive ability of the weapon works... I don't know whether to be glad or not.
Why did I have to find out by slaughtering my dearest ones...?
Why?
I hate you!
I detest you!"
~Trial six completed: 963 winners.
444 players were eliminated.~
"Selena? Are you alive? Are you okay?"Kedra stutters as she rejoices.
"I am! How about you? What did you have to do?"Selena asks, a little scared.
"I don't know what else to say... I'm relieved it wasn't real."he says happily.
"What was your fear?"she asks in wonder.

The store will be unavailable during the trial.~
Well, after what I experienced in this trial.... I still can't get the images of my family and friends' blood and organs out of my mind.

Well, I spent some in the shop. Then I realized that only 5 gods are left to pursue me. I've reached 27th place, which means I've improved, right?
Or did the others die? Anyway, my current biggest problem is... I have no idea what to do with "my question."
Well, I have one more round available.
I spent all the silver I had on potions. Specifically, 2 small health potions and 1 attack boost potion. I hope it's worth it! Of course, I bought some other nonsense... It seems like this "game" rekindled my former smoking addiction.
Oh, I forgot, this notebook is truly worth its money. Who would have thought I'd end up writing to relax? It's quite fun, I must say.
Well, I found out that Selena is also in the top 100, precisely at 67th place, and only 2 gods are following her. So, she can ask a question too.
I learned that she had to face a childhood fear. It seems amusing compared to mine, but I don't think "Fear of Frogs" is that funny. Anyway, I'm glad it was all an illusion... although suicide still remains a good option.
I've eaten quite well. But let's say I wanted to train with the weapon. I'm grateful to my grandfather for teaching me to handle his old spear. That's why I knew how to fight with it quite well.
Despite losing the two daggers, I regret that, I don't know how much a rusty sword and a stone axe will help me. Anyway, in theory, it's an advantage over the others.
~The seventh trial will begin in 28 minutes 44 seconds.
Please check the store and buy whatever you think will help.
Please be prepared! Colosseum!~
Colosseum? I'm already afraid just from the name. Are we going to fight against ourselves or what? What will happen in the arena?
Well, it seems Selena found some friends; I'm glad we could gather. Although it's not the best choice. Max seems to have a massive hammer. Jean has a sword, and Ella has a regular spear. Compared to my spear, they all seem easier to use. Except for Jean, we're all in the top 100, with me being the highest ranked.
~Trial seventh will begin soon!
Please be prepared!
Colosseum!~
Even though they were looking at me and Selena strangely, I still didn't care. We remained in each other's arms...
~Trial seventh: Colosseum!
Win the tournament.
Conditions: 1 Time 5h 30 minutes,
2 Kills, number of enemies chosen by the public,
3 Obtain one emblem.~
5 hours? To obtain one emblem? And especially to kill enemies based on what the public chooses? I assume the public is the Gods... I hope I don't die... there are less than a thousand of us left...
That top 100 looks like only they or less will survive. What the hell? Is this the Colosseum? It looks like the one in Italy. People were not lying about the Gods in the past...
I wonder how many games are? Lost historical periods... could it be... the game! That's why they know how to push people beyond their limits...
DAMN MONSTERS!!!
How many millions have died in their game... No, millions are too few... billions, to be more accurate...
~Welcome to the Colosseum!
Kill 20 goblins in 5 minutes.
Failure to complete the trial will be heavily penalized.
Good Luck!~
