Chapter 1 - New Faces

I wake up from what I thought was a nightmare.

There were humans thats what I think they were exept they lack traits of what a human should have like clothes and faces and even hair I was scared and afraid until one of them notices me and its movements was inhuman and animalistic and my vision went blank my memory fuzzy and now I am in this what it seem is somewhat an apartment.

There a kind looking female noticed me on the floor my eyes spaced out in confusion and in thought I saw her hand reached out to get me up on my feet, I said thanks and she said no worries and that her name was 'Kiara' and she added that I was the last person needed.. I asked why and get no respomse only a unknowingly shrug on her shoulders, I asked where getting the same answer as to why.

From what I saw that we were the only ones in here so I thinked about her last words about me being the last one and she lead me out of the empty room to a room filled with people, some knew and some are just ghost to society. And thats where I met her my old friend whom I would played with for hours on end since we were kids, I was about to walk to them to hopefully reunite again after all those years until I was interrupted but not only me but all of the people who were chatting and having conversations.

From the middle of the room a huge panel slowly descends from it shows that there are 207 people in the room currently, the panel had all the people's portraits in a diamond layout before we even say a word to the sudden occurance the screen changes to an not known man wearing pyjamas and a foolish grin on his face as he begins to introduce himself "Yaho my test subjects! I am your host beutiful and most handsome host Xan. Before you think you may asked your self 'Why am I here? Where is this place?' welp I can only answer one of them which is why and the reason and the fact you are here is that our world currently is plagued with aliens. YES ALIENS! And that you all are in a game I created for my entertainment and educational purpose. The game is simple really every day I open the apartment door and no that doesn't mean freedom since outside the corridor is full of perfection hungry creatures ready to consume you and your specified trait to counter act these I made all you hamsters weapons that my company scientist created to END these pitiful creatures lives and get points! I call them missions and after the mission the screen that I am live on will change to the earlier screen you all probably saw IN WHICH all of you will vote a player who lacks of points or is unresponsive AND THEN the door again will open and that person may leave USING this mask that represents those vial gremlins. GET SOME REST NO ASKING QUESTIONS BYE BYE!" as Xan ended his live changing back to the panel of our profiles in diamond layouts and in grids.

The room went blank silent people are thinking and confused then all of a sudden one vulnerable looking person sreamed a wail piercing through our ears as he rushed towards the door trying to break out with no avail. It seemed like others were persuaded by the mans actions and also try every opening in the small space in where they might escape, despite fatal attempts none suceed until the host Xan appeared again live on the screen he says "I kinda advice to not ruin the place everyone... First its the place that you all will have to stay and live in and second I kinda spent hard work on the interior so please stop wrecking mischief" and as quick as he spoke the panel screen changed once more turning back to its former self.

The chaotic crowd all took breathers to calm themselves but it was for nothing since the panel switched to a timer for 30 minutes and there below it ascended a weapon shelf they seemed like regular guns not like what the host described about them being special. They seem anxious to even get close to the weaponry until a sadistic looking man heads up and grabs one only to point it at someone else, the room went into panic while some martyrs attempt to persuade the man into disarment... The man's finger pulled the trigger the room went silent and... The gun didn't work before they knew it the timer sets off the doors open they scramed to get the weapons and get out to the corridors the people froze in place in fear those who loom before them was humanoid creatures with proper clothing with no face only a mask that they use to hide in.

The creatures seem to have noticed their presence as they slowly turn their heads abnormally towards the party...
