Chapter 2 - 2. death by firing squad.

Finally came the day of execution. I never thought that the government had the guts to execute me in front of the public even after my desperate plea for my execution to be in private,but nonetheless it had finly came to this.

Even though i was literally being killed in front of the whole city, my heart remain dormant, not pounding like people would assume as I'm being pulled out of the car to see signs being held up high displaying obscenities referring to me.

I never thought that it would end in a whole city watching me being gunned down.

It was kind of surreal, a murderer of many. The killer of men,women even children would now be facing a group of gun specialists who are armed,specifically for his killing.

Before I knew it, I heard the shaking of a bell and the shooters opened fire.

I was bracing for impact when I heard the executioner tell the shooters not to aim for my head, which I believed was a tactic to ensure pain before death as one of the punishments for mass murderers is no sedatives before execution.

Pain was plentiful, but in a short burst as bullets rained upon me, most shots landed on my chest piercing right through my body when the bell ringed one more time signaling for the firing of the bullets to come to a hault.

There i lay lifeless on the floor with the audience having finally gotten what they had wanted most. Steve Willson is no more.

The irony was never lost on me. I died the same way I started my life of crime.

I then woke up flustered and frustrated. I thought it was finally over. That my life as a serial murderer was done,that I would never need to be like that ever again when I realised where I was.

"Ahh shit, what am I doing still alive, I just got shot like 50 times, wait where the hell am I ?"

I looked around when I saw a random group of people clustered up into one big group. They all looked familiar, but I struggled to remember who they were.

This confusion continued until I saw a figure in the shadows walking into the mostly dark room everyone was in.

(Silence everyone!)

We all then fell silent in one full swoop, not taking any chances with whatever, whoever was commanding us.

(I am the judgement goddess, looks like you guys got yourselves into some preety big trouble. All of you do not deserve any mercy. In fact you should all suffer in hell.)

(But luckily for 4 of you there is a chance that you may go back to living as new people. A clean slate.)

(You will all be thrown into an open world game where you all fight for survival. The four that survive will be reintroduced into the earth as teenagers with no memory of their old life.)

( there are 100000 of you serial killers so make it count.)

(Oh and before I send you guys into step two of this process, you will all be given a class with a skill assigned to you based on your characteristics in your old life. So you will be good at what you were good at in your old life.)

(Last thing, a lucky few of you might begin with two skills, good luck and class vote begins now.)

In the class voting area, i chose a class i was good at. The assassin class. Was such a common placed class that almost 50000 of us chose it, but due to regulations only 25000 of us were allowed into the class the others moved to other classes.

The others included brute, swift and crafter class.

The brute class gives a shield that can block and protect the user from attacks from close range attacks of up to 60 metres. The brute user is also immune to mmele attacks

The most notable brute users are Jack Stone who was a child murderer in his past life and Marie Black who was convicted on multiple arson and murder charges.

The swift class gives a pair of shoes that gives a speed boost of up to 56mph which is nearly 2x the speed of the fastest runner ever recorded. The shoes can only be used for 7 minutes before being put in a 6 minute cooldown.

The most notable users include Caroline Charles who killed 150 bounty hunters in a spree of bar fight killings and Mark Mathew's who was a malicious child predator, rapist and killer in his hay day.

The assassin class gave its users a firearms of their choosing with a fast fingers ability that speeds up their reload time by 2 seconds.

It's most notable users include Rita Stacy

Notoriously the Nagisaki genocide that killed 300 and injured 470 and Marcus Brown who assassinated 700men under the Raiders guild.

The crafter class gives its users the ability to design and make their own weapons using materials they find along the way, though these weapons may be hard to craft as material requirements are high. When afforded weapons are easy and are very powerful.

Its most notable users include Kyle Jackson, who killed 600 people in the span of two years with his favourite weapon, the desert eagle and Charity Philips who had been known as the neighbourhood strangler, her total murders still remains unknown till this day as more and more cases unravel by the day.

(The classes have been decided. Tomorrow you will all spawn in the new game, Silent eclipse. Rest up and get ready for tomorrow. There is no guarantee though that you will survive the night but, no fighting or you will be eliminated. Good night.)

The following morning we woke up to the horror of realising that 76 of us had not survived the night meaning that our competition had just been reduced. I say horror because now people will fight harder knowing that even if they survive the night, the system naturally selects us based on strength. Or so we thought...
