Dungeon ~ Stage 1 Floor 1
“Kaisi Game?”
Game Master Aarav ke uske kareeb ane per he ab tak hairan tha. Lekin uske attitude ko daikh ker aur uski baat sun ker ab wo aur bhi hairan tha.
Usko ye samajh nahi aa rahi thi ke stage clear hone ke baad bhi Aarav aage badhne ki jagha situation ko khud ke liye aur difficult kyu bana raha tha.
Aarav (Nod): Yes, Let's play a game...!
Caroline: Corp-
Aarav ko game master ko challenge karte daikh ker Caroline bhi chaunk gayi. Unka aisa kisi bhi tarha ka plan nahi tha. Lekin Caroline ke beech mein ane se pehle he Yoo-Jung ne usko rok diya.
Caroline ne Yoo-Jung ki taraf daikha to usne usko shaant khadi rehne ka ishara ker diya. Yoo-Jung ko bhi kuch idea nahi tha. Lekin wo abhi situation ko observe karna chah rahi thi.
“Kekekeke, Interesting...!”
*Tuck*
Abhi sab Aarav ko ker daikh rahe the ke hava mein he kanhi se Malphas baahir aa gaya. Malphas ko udhar daikh ker ek pal ke liye Game Master bhi chaunk gaya.
Lekin Aarav ke uss arrogant behavior ke baad bhi Malphas ke expressions se lag nahi raha tha ke usko Aarav ki baat ka bura laga hai.
Game Master: Malphas?
Malphas (Grin): Laga he tha ke tum dusron se kuch to alag ho gye! Kekekeke, Lekin kya ye bahaduri hai ya bewakoofi?
Malphas ne game master ko bilkul he ignore ker diya aur Aarav ki taraf muskurate huwe honton per zuban fairate huwe daikhne laga. Uske chehre per ek lalsa dikhayi de rahi thi.
Aarav (Smug): Ab ye to game khelne ke baad he pata lage ga...!
Aarav ki baat sun ker Malphas aur bhi muskurane laga. Ab tak Aarav Malphas ke gaslight karne per kuch nahi keh raha tha. Lekin ab jaise usne unke saath he khelne ka nirnay le liya tha.
Malphas (Laugh): Kekeke...!
****
“Corpse!?”
Dungeon Master uski kursi per baithe huwe Aarav ko he daikh raha tha. Aarav ki harkat ne uska bhi dhayan khud ki taraf ker liya tha. Dungeon Master ke paas baitha vyakti Aarav ki team ki Information daikhne laga.
Vyakti (Reading): Corpse, Ye Kunle ki team mein hai! Kunle ko marked invitation se bulaya gaya hai. Anthony Delacroix paid five billion dollars to ensure he’d join the Carnival.
Dungeon Master: Five billion dollars, just to settle a grudge?
Vyakti (Nod): Yes, Anthony is the CEO of Sentinel Global Security, an international private security firm! Lekin Kunle ke protector guild banane ke baad se sab players ko he personal security ke liye hire ker rahe hai aur uske liye dugani keemat dene ko bhi taiyar hai. Anthony lost lucrative government contracts and corporate deals to Kunle’s guild.
Dungeon Master: Personal Security ke liye players?
Vyakti ki baat sun ker Dungeon Master ab Kunle ki taraf aur dilchaspi lene laga. Players Association aur guilds ki shuruaat huwe abhi 12 saal ke paas he huwe the.
Lekin ab tak sab players sirf gates ko clear karne per he dhayan dete the. Lekin aise mein Kunle ne ek security Guild bana li thi. Ye sun ker Dungeon Master bhi Kunle ki taraf dilchaspi se daikhne laga tha.
Vyakti (Nod): Haan, Kunle khud to sirf ek A rank Player he hai! Lekin uski guild ki ab tak 7 branches ban gayi hai aur uske under abhi 70K+ Players kaam ker rahe hai aur uske paas 1267 B-Rankers 768 A-Rankers 134 early stage S-rankers ke saath 7 Tutorial tower ke S-Rankers hai.
Dungeon Master: Hmm ~ Lekin ye Corpse kon hai?
Vyakti (Reading): Usne khud ki kisi bhi tarha ki personal information nahi di hai! Lekin probably wo Kunle ko marked invitation dene ka badla le raha ho ga.
Dungeon Master (Smug): Interesting, Lekin hamare paas uske challenge ko accept karne ka koi bhi reason nahi hai...!
Dungeon Master ne kursi per he seedhe baith ker muskurate huwe kaha.
Vyakti (Gasped): Huh?
Dungeon Master: What?
Vyakti (Gulp): Deathwatchers ne Corpse ko support karna shuru ker diya hai...!
Dungeon Master: What?

Carnival of Death
Dungeon ~ Spectators' Room
“Let's play a game”
“Woaaahhhh”
Spectators' Room ke andar Aarav ke challenge ko sun ker sabhi excited ho gaye. Unke beech mein se kuch ko Aarav ke arrogant behavior ko daikh ker gussa aa raha tha to kuch uske stage ko aur bhi zyada interesting banane per khush ho rahe the.
Kenneth (Deathwatcher): Ye behanchod, Who does he think he is? challenging the Game Master like that? Lagta hai yanha usko apni aukat ke baare mein ab tak pata nahi laga hai.
Kenneth ne ek he ghont mein drink ko khatam karte huwe kaha. Aarav ki harakat ko daikh ker usko ab aur bhi gussa aa raha tha. Ek Player ko aise aakar dikhate daikh usko jalan ho rahi thi.
Herbert (Deathwatcher): Hmm ~
Kenneth: Ab tumhe kya ho gaya?
Herbert ko soch mein dooba daikh ker Kenneth bhi hairan ho gaya. Kyu ke ab tak usne Herbert ko kisi bhi player ki death per ya stage clear karne mein intrest lete nahi daikha tha.
Herbert: I don't know, Lekin main daikhna chahata hu ke ye kya challenge de raha hai!?
Kenneth (Annoyed): Lekin aisa kyu? Hum kya uske orders ko follow karne ke liye paise de rahe hai aur yanha per aye hai? Ab kya wo games ko control kare ga?
Herbert (Smirk): Isn’t that why we’re here? To watch fools like him flirt with death? Kya farak padta hai ke wo Player ho ya game master khud he kyu na ho. Ab dono ko he tadapte daikhne ka utna he maza aye ga. But.... The audacity... it’s delicious. I’m almost rooting for him.
Kenneth ne uski aankhon mein daikha to Herbert ki aankhon mein khoon he utar aya tha. Uske hont ab excitement se kaanp rahe the. Herbert ek God ki tarha shikari ko shikar bante daikh raha tha.
“True pleasure is found when the predator becomes the prey, and the tables turn on those who once ruled with fear”
[#4 Deathwatcher paid 1 billion dollars to back Corpse’s challenge against the Game Master]
Ek notification badi screen per aya to sab ki nazar ek saath #4 Deathwatcher ki seat per chale gayi. Ek he pal mein kamre ki hava aur bhi bhaadi ho gayi thi aur tanav ka mahaul ban gaya tha.
Kenneth (Staring): Big Billy...!
#4 Deathwatcher Big Billy tha aur uski ungali green button ke upar thi. Big Billy dusron ki tarha wealthy family se nahi tha.
Big Billy ek aisa insaan tha jisne kuch he samay ke andar khud ka empire khada ker diya tha aur bohat se logo ka dhandha band karwa diya tha.
Un sab ke mann mein Billy ke liye bhi kisi player se kam nafrat nahi thi. Big Billy ne halka head tilt karte huwe aankhon ke kone se sab ki taraf daikha aur halki muskurahat ke saath muskurane laga.
Big Billy ki Side Eye sab ko mock ker rahi thi. Uske expressions udhar baithe sab Deathwatchers ko trigger ker rahe the. Big Billy unhe dikha raha tha ke uske liye players ke saath wo sab bhi keede makodon ki tarha he the.
*Click*
[#3 Deathwatcher paid 1.1 billion dollars to back Corpse’s challenge against the Game Master]
Big Billy ke paas baithe huwe ek aur Deathwatcher ne challenge ko support ker diya. Ek Deathwatcher har stage per sirf ek baar he support ker sakta tha to Big Billy stage 1 per aur support nahi ker sakta tha.
Lekin #3 ke Action se udhar aur bhi logon ke andar aag jalne lagi. Unke beech ab ek yuddh shuru ho chuka tha. Ab baat sab ke ego per aa gayi thi aur ab shaant rehna unke liye haar ka sanket ke barabar tha.
[#12 Deathwatcher paid 700 Million dollars to back Corpse’s challenge against the Game Master]
[#6 Deathwatcher paid 1 billion dollars to back Corpse’s challenge against the Game Master]
[#1 Deathwatcher paid 1.2 billion dollars to back Corpse’s challenge against the Game Master]

Aarav ke game master ko diye challenge ko C.O.D ne accept ker liya tha. Lekin unke saath aur bhi bohat conditions thi. Aarav ke liye ye challenge har taraf se disadvantage per tha.
Usko na to kuch bhi challenge se mil raha tha aur usko challenge ke beech game master ko aur bhi advantage dene per rahe the. Ye kisi ke liye bhi ek maut se kam nahi thi.
Game Master (Smug): Kya huwa, Hava nikal gayi kya?
Game Master ne Aarav ki taraf chehre per ek vijayi muskurahat sajaye huwe kaha. Malphas bhi Aarav ki khamoshi ko daikh ker disappoint hone laga.
Aarav (Smug): Let's Play...!
Malphas: Huh...Sachi!? Sab kuch pata hone ke baad bhi?
Aarav (Nod): Haan, Sab kuch pata hone ke baad bhi...! *Smirk*

Takahashi's Residence
Wind Clan ~ 4 Days Ago...!
*Sigh*
Aarav Daisuke ki ghar ki chhat per baitha chand ki taraf daikh raha tha aur socho mein gum tha. Unke C.O.D mein jaane ke liye ab kuch he din baaki the aur Aarav abhi bhi sure nahi tha.
“Aarav”
Aarav ko bulate huwe Aakash aur Yoo-Jung dono upar aa gaye. Aarav ne he unhe udhar bina kisi ko bhi bataye ane ke liye kaha tha. Aarav ne ek baar confirm kiya ke udhar unke sivaye koi aur to nahi hai.
Lekin kisi ki bhi presence ke feel na hone per Aarav ne Tinkerbell ko ek sound barrier banane ke liye keh diya. Sound barrier se unki awaaz baahir kisi ko bhi sunayi nahi deni thi.
Yoo-Jung: Aarav, Yanha hamay akele kyu bulaya hai?
Aarav: Yanha hum C.O.D ke baare mein kuch baate karne wale hai! C.O.D se kisi aur ka connection nahi hai to unhe bulana sahi nahi ho ga. Unke paas unke apne task bhi hai karne ke liye.
Aarav ne unki C.O.D ke related ab tak huwi sabhi meetings se andaza laga liya tha ke har meeting ke saath sab unke liye aur dar he rahe the aur wo kisi bhi tarha se unki help nahi ker sakte the.
Aarav: Tinkerbell...!
Tinkerbell: [Huh, Kya huwa? Aur ye tum sab ke saamne kyu bula rahe ho?]
Aarav: Yoo-Jung aur Aakash ke saamne kabhi na kabhi tumhe ana he ho ga! Unse chhupane se kuch bhi nahi ho ga.
Tinkerbell (Annoyed): [Ughhh, Fine...!]
Aarav ke kehne per Tinkerbell bhi unke saamne ane ke liye taiyar ho gayi. Aarav ne bhi usko time dete huwe transform hone diya.
Tinkerbell: Fuuuu ~
Aakash aur Yoo-Jung ke saamne Tinkerbell ab ek human form mein khadi huwi thi. Ek pal ke liye usko daikh ker dono hairan reh gaye. Lekin unki hairani ka kaaran Tinkerbell ki khubsurati thi. Unke saamne jaise ek angel he khadi huwi thi.
Tinkerbell ne ab tak ye form sirf ek baar li thi Aarav ko bachane ke liye. Lekin tab ki situation aur ab ko situation alag thi. Lekin phir bhi Aarav ke kehne per usko calm hona per gaya.
Aakash aur Yoo-Jung bhi dono kuch he palon mein normal ho gaye. Aarav ne un sab ke beech ki uss Nervousness ke khatam hone ka intezar kiya aur uske baad dobara baat karni shuru ker di.
Aarav: Tinkerbell ko lagta hai ke shayad uske paas bhi C.O.D ki kuch Information hai! Abhi tak wo sure nahi hai. Lekin phir bhi ye information worth listening ho sakti hai.
Aarav ki baat sun ker un dono ko bhi pata lag gaya ke Aarav ne unhe kyu bulaya hai. Yoo-Jung Aarav ke saath ja rahi thi usko sab kuch pata hona bohat he zaroori tha.
Aakash ke paas C.O.D ki Association se bhi zyada information thi. Aarav usko sunana chah raha tha ke aise unhe kuch raasta dikh sakta tha. Ab sab he Tinkerbell ki taraf daikh rahe the.
Tinkerbell (Relaxed): Fuuuu ~ Main utni sure to nahi hu! Lekin shayad C.O.D ke baare mein main ne pehle bhi suna hai. Ab tak ki sab information ko sun ker mujhe lagta hai ke aisa kuch dusre worlds mein bhi ho chuka hai.
Yoo-Jung: C.O.D?
Tinkerbell (Nod): Uska naam ye nahi tha! Lekin tab bhi 4 stages ki ek dungeon thi aur uska Dungeon Master tha ek wizard king aur ye games Dungeon ko sacrifice dene ke liye aur wizard king ki power ko badhane ke liye hoti thi.
Yoo-Jung: Lekin ye dono alag bhi to ho sakti hai na?
Tinkerbell (Nod): Haan, Ye he reason hai ke main ab tak sure nahi hu! Lekin mujhe kuch aur khaas information mil sakti to main confirm ker sakti thi.
Aakash:... Deathwatchers?
Aakash ne kuch sochne ke baad kaha to Tinkerbell ka dhayan fauran uski taraf chale gaya. Aakash ne uska reaction daikha to wo muskurane laga.
Tinkerbell: Deathwatchers... *Nod* Haan, Ye wizard king ki dungeon mein bhi the...!
Tinkerbell ne kehte huwe ek book ko inventory se nikal liya aur uska ek page khol ker sab ko dikhane lagi.
[Who are Deathwatchers?]
[Deathwatchers are people who take pleasure in watching death and suffering. To become a Deathwatcher, they must give offerings to the Dungeon Master and try to win his favor. Those who manage to satisfy him earn a Deathwatcher seat, granting them some authority within the Dungeon]
Aakash ki baat aur Tinkerbell ki explanation ko sun ker sab aur bhi sure ho gaye the. Lekin ab sab ka dhayan Tinkerbell se Aakash ki taraf ho gaya tha.
Aakash (Smile): Bingo... Yanha C.O.D ke andar bhi Deathwatchers hai! Unke liye bhi aisi he condition thi. Ek bhaadi keemat dene ke baad unhe bhi dungeon ke andar Deathwatcher ki seath mili hai.
Yoo-Jung: Hmm ~ Agar hum kisi Deathwatcher ko hamari side per ker sake to hum C.O.D ke andar se bhi game ko manipulate ker sakte hai! Lekin hum ye kare gaye kaise? Kyu ke Deathwatcher per unki nazar ho gi he ho gi.
Yoo-Jung ka idea sahi tha. Lekin uska concern bhi sahi tha. Kyu ke Deathwatcher ke liye unhe kisi trusted insaan ki zaroorat thi.
Lekin Aarav abhi bhi shaanti se Aakash ko daikh raha tha. Yoo-Jung aur Tinkerbell bhi unhe daikh ker confuse ho rahi thi.
Aarav (Smile): Huh, Already tum ne Deathwatchers ko andar bheja huwa hai?
Aakash (Nod): Yes...!
Unki baat sun ker Yoo-Jung aur Tinkerbell dono he chauk gayi. Aarav ne ye guess to ker liya tha. Lekin guess karne ke baad bhi ye baat uske liye hairan ker dene wali thi.
Aarav: Lekin kaise?
Aakash kitne samay se bedridden tha ye Aarav ko bhi pata tha. Lekin uske baad bhi Aakash ne uska ek spy Deathwatcher bana diya tha. Ye baat Aarav ko bhi samajh nahi aa rahi thi.
Aakash: Kya tumhe sach mein lagta tha ke Sayani enterprise he mera sab kuch tha? Haan, Sayani ke liye unka business sab kuch tha. Lekin mere liye utna kaafi nahi tha.
Aarav: Aur Vansh ki barbadi?
Aakash (Smirk): Sab ko lagta hai ke Vansh ne sab kuch kho diya! Lekin uske peeche hamesha se he main tha. Vansh ko to main ne tumhare liye kuch bhi nahi kiya. Lekin main usko tadpaye bina kaise reh sakta tha?
Aarav: Huh?
Aakash (Smile): I stayed in the shadows, pulling the strings, making my puppets dance! I’m the one who ruined Vansh and took everything from him.
Aarav ne Vansh ki memories mein daikha tha ke usne sab kuch dheeme dheeme loss mein kho diya tha. Lekin ab ye sense bana rahi thi ke un sab ke peeche Aakash he tha.
Aakash khud saamne na ho ker bhi uske puppets se sab kuch control ker raha tha. Uske paas kuch na bhi ho ker sab kuch tha. He was the kind of man who can flip an entire country upside down on his own.
Ye pehli baar he tha ke Aarav khud ko lucky maan raha tha ke Aakash uske saath tha uske khilaf nahi tha. Aakash ke paas aur kya kuch tha uska Aarav ko bhi andaza nahi tha.
Aarav: Lekin kya guarantee hai ke wo trust karne ke layak hai? Ye bhi to ho sakta hai na ke wo dhokha de de?
Aarav kisi per bhi bharosa nahi ker sakta tha. Usne ek baar ker ke daikh liya tha. Lekin trustworthy log bhi majboori mein dhokha de he dete the.
Aakash (Smile): Trust him? You’re looking at this all wrong.
Aarav what?
Aakash: Dhokha dena to bohat dur ki baat hai! Even the thought would send him into a cold sweat.
Tinkerbell (Stunned): Kaise?
Aakash (Sigh): Huh... You see, I’m not the kind of man people cross! When I say I hold someone’s life in my hands, I mean it literally.
Aarav ya Yoo-Jung ye puchna bhi nahi chahte the ke Aakash ye kaise kare ga. Unhe ab tak andaza ho gaya tha ke Aakash ke paas uske khud ke raaste the uski kathputaliyon ko control karne ke.
Aarav: Aur tum Deathwatchers ke baare mein kab batane wale the?
Ye saval udhar sab ke mann mein tha. Aakash ke paas aisa trump card tha to usne ab tak unhe uske baare mein bataya kyu nahi tha?
Aakash (Smile): Main wait ker raha tha ke tum kab yanha tak figure out karte ho! Uske baad he main sab kuch batane wala tha.
Aarav: Aur agar main na ker sakta to?
Aakash: Ek to mujhe tum per poori tarha vishwas tha! Lekin uske baad bhi tum na ker sakte to main tumhe kisi halat mein bhi C.O.D mein participate na karne deta.
Aakash ke chehre ke bhav ek pal ke liye serious ho gaye. Un teeno ko mehsoos ho raha tha ke Aakash kitna serious tha. Unhe ab ye samajh aa rahi thi ke Aakash ka khauf sab ke raungte kyu khade ker deta tha.
Aarav: Lekin Kunle ka kya? Usko tum kaise bachane wale the?
Aarav ne Aakash se pucha bhi nahi ke wo usko kaise rokne wala tha. Usne seedhe aage ke baare mein pucha.
Aakash (Sigh): I only care about my people! The rest of the world can burn for all I care.

Carnival of Death
Dungeon ~ Stage 1 Floor 1
Malphas: Kekeke, Ab Konsi game ke liye challenge ker rahe ho tum?
Malphas ne uske honto per uski rakshasi jeeb ko firate huwe kaha aur hansne laga. Aarav ke diye gaye challenge ko accept ker liya gaya tha. Lekin ab usko batana tha ke wo konsi game ke liye challenge karna chahta tha.
Unke kaaran se baaki sab bhi stage 1 per he ruk gaye the. Unke beech se kuch gusse mein the to kuch thankful the ke Aarav ke kaaran unhen kuch aur samay jeene ke liye mil gaya tha.
Aarav ke saamne ek window khul gayi. Aarav ko ab uske andar game ki details add karni thi.
Aarav: Dare and Truth...!
Game Master (Dazed): Truth or Dare?
Game Master aur udhar sab thode hairan ho gaye ke Aarav ek simple truth or dare ke liye challenge ker raha tha. Lekin Aarav uska naam alag tarha se le raha tha.
Aarav: Nah, Dare and Truth...! Hum Dare and Truth khele gaye.
[ENTER]
Aarav ne game ki sab details ko add ker ke game ka challenge Game Master ko bhej diya. Aarav ke chehre ke confidence ko daikh ker Game Master kuch zyada khush nahi lag raha tha.
[Challenge Game Details: Dare and Truth]
[Round 1: Dares]
[The Game Master will start by giving 2 dares to Corpse]
[If Corpse completes both dares, he will give 1 dare to the Game Master]
[Round 2: Truth]
[The Game Master will then ask 2 questions to Corpse]
[If Corpse answers both truthfully, he will ask 1 question to the Game Master, which must be answered truthfully]
[Rules]
[No deadly dares: Dares must not result in death or bring the player close to death.]
[Within the stage: All dares must be doable within the current stage]
[Identity protection: Questions cannot reveal the other person’s identity]
[No C.O.D. questions: Questions related to the Carnival of Death are strictly forbidden]
[Switching roles: The role of Game Master switches during turns]
[Ability use: The person acting as Game Master during their turn can use their ability, but only once per question]
[No harm or attacks: Harm or any form of attack is prohibited at all times]
[Answer Rules]
[Time limit: 15 seconds will be given to answer each question]
[If the Game Master cannot confirm whether the answer is true within that time, it will be considered true]
[Knowledge of the truth: The person answering must know the truth. If they genuinely don’t know the answer, the question will be invalid]
Aarav khud ko disadvantage de raha tha khud ko 2 dares aur 2 questions de ker ab uske liye ye game master se double difficult tha. Lekin Aarav ne uski taraf daikha to Game Master utne se khush nahi tha.
Game Master ke chehre per ek darindgi se bhari huwi muskurahat aa gayi. Usko daikh ker udhar ke sab players he dar gaye.
Game Master: Ek aur condition ho gi! Mujhe diya gaya Dare bhi tumhe mere saath he karna ho ga.
Kunle (Furious): Ye to unfair hai! Ab ye bhi Corpse kare ga to Game Fair kanha rahe gi?
Game Master (Grin): Grow up, kid! Life was always unfair, get used to it!
Game Master ka javab sun ker Kunle ko ab aur bhi gussa ane laga tha. Lekin usne situation ko ab aur complicated karna sahi nahi samjha.
Kunle: Corpse, Ye game fair nahi hai! Mujhe nahi lagta ke tumhe aage badhna chahiye hai.
Tinkerbell: [Master, Kunle theek keh raha hai! Ye game kanhi se bhi hamare favor mein nahi hai aur na he hum kuch ker sakte hai. Mujhe nahi lagta ke ap ko aage badhna chahiye hai]
Aarav: [Dungeon Master ye he chahata hai! Uski ye he koshish hai ke wo mujhe kisi tarha se challenge waapis lene ke liye force ker de *Grin* Lekin mujhe laga tha ke ye kuch aur hard try kare gaye... Ye sab kuch ab bhi mere plan ke according he chal raha hai.]
Aarav ki baat sun ker Tinkerbell aur ghabrane lag gayi thi. Usko bhi pata tha ke sab unfair conditions ke peeche Dungeon Master tha.
Ye challenge agar Dungeon Master ki side se reject hota to Aarav ke challenge ki support offering bhi saath reject honi thi. Lekin agar Aarav he challenge ko waapis le leta to offering Dungeon Master ko tab bhi recieve honi thi.
Aarav (Smug): Accepted...! Now, Let's start.
[New Condition: Any dare Corpse gives to the Game Master, Corpse must also perform alongside him]
Game Master (Stunned): Huh?
Aarav ne uski add ki gayi condition ko bhi accept ker liya aur stage ke beech mein chala gaya. Lekin ye daikh ker Malphas aur bhi muskurane laga aur Game Master sirf uski audacity per hairan tha.
Malphas: Interesting *Slurp*

[$32,606,988,497]
Vyakti (Smile): Master, Ye challenge to hamari soch se bhi zyada kaam ka tha! Lekin kya Victor ko aise challenge accept karwana zaroori tha?
Vyakti uske saamne badhte numbers ko daikh ker khush ho raha tha. Lekin usko Aarav ka confidence dara bhi raha tha. Disadvantage per hone ke baad bhi Aarav back off nahi ker raha tha.
Dungeon Master: He's brave but not reckless! Lekin ab hum kuch ker bhi nahi sakte. Malphas rules ko kabhi bhi tootne nahi de ga... Ab Victor ke haatho mein he uska bhavishya hai.
Game Master uski kursi per peeche lean karte huwe aaram se baith gaya. Uske liye Game Master khaas tha. Lekin vyakti ke saamne badhte numbers ko daikhte huwe usne Game Master ko bhi ignore ker diya.
Vyakti (Smile): Best of luck, Victor...!

Carnival of Death
Dungeon ~ Stage 1 Floor 1
[Game Begin!]
[Round 1: Dares has started]
[The Game Master will now issue the first dare. Failure to comply with the rules will result in immediate death]
Aarav aur Game Master dono stage ke beech mein khade huwe the aur dono ke beech Malphas khada huwa tha. Lekin unke paas khadi Aarav ki team ab bhi uske liye pareshan thi.
Game Master (Grin): Stab your own eye with a dagger...!
[The Game Master has issued the first dare]
[Complete the dare to proceed to the next one]
*Stab*
*Squish*
Game Master (Stunned): Huh?
Game Master ke Dare dete he Aarav ne ek pal ke liye bhi nahi socha aur dagger se apni aankh ko phor diya. Game Master ke saath uski khud ki team bhi hairani se muh khole usko daikh rahi thi.
Aarav: Is that your best? *Scoff* Pathetic...!
Aarav ki phooti huwi aankh se lagatar khoon beh raha tha. Lekin uske baad bhi Aarav ke chehre per dard ka ehsaas bhi dikhayi nahi de raha tha.
Malphas (Excited): Not a twitch, Not even a flinch!? He's face remains cold and focused... Fascinating...!
Game Master bhi Aarav ki craziness daikh ker ab hairan tha. Lekin Aarav ke taunts per ab usko gussa bhi ane laga tha.
[You've been sponsored by a Deathwatcher!]
[Sponsor: Big Billy]
[Dungeon Points: 120]
[Big Billy has taken a special interest in your bravery]
[A powerful ally has chosen you. Use the points wisely]
Aarav ke saamne Deathwatcher ke sponsor karne ka notification aa gaya. Aakash ne usko sponsor ke baare mein bhi bataya tha.
Sponsor karne se Deathwatcher unke sponsor kiye gaye player ko message ker sakte the aur unko Dungeon points bhi de sakte the. $250K ka sirf ek Dungeon point tha to Big Billy ne Aarav ko $30M se sponsor kiya tha.
[Dare Completed]
[Corpse has successfully completed the first dare!]
[The Game Master will now issue the second dare]
Game Master (Sigh): Huh... Let's see ke tum kitna aage badh sakte ho! My second dare, Sever one of your teammate's hands entirely. No tools or help allowed *Grin* do it with your bare hands...!
Malphas (Chuckle): Kekekeke, Interesting...!
Game Master ko bhi ab ye samajh aa gayi thi ke Aarav ko target karne se kuch nahi ho ga. Ab uske paas ek he chance tha Dare dene ke liye aur usne ab ki baar Aarav ko nahi uski team ko target kiya tha.
Ek haath ko khona stage 1 per bohat he badi baat thi. Unhe abhi bhi aage 3 stages ko clear karna tha aur abhi haath khone ka matlab khud ko aur bhi risk mein daalne ke barabar tha ya seedhe maut he thi.
Aise mein koi bhi kisi aur ke liye to uske haath ko sacrifice karne ko taiyar nahi hona tha. Uske liye to ye har taraf se he ek win win situation thi. Aarav ko Game Master ke chehre per ayi Smug look saaf dikhayi de rahi thi.
Aarav (Grin): Sure...!
Game Master: Huh?
Aarav ko khud ke saamne dobara muskurate daikh Game Master aur bhi confuse ho gaya. Usko lag raha tha ke usne finally Aarav ko difficult spot per khada ker diya tha. Lekin uske baad bhi Aarav ke chehre per usko bebasi dikhayi nahi de rahi thi.
“Corpse”
Game Master (Frowns): Huh??
Game Master ne Aarav ke side mein daikha to uske paas usko Yoo-Jung khadi dikhayi di. Yoo-Jung ne uska haath khud he aage kiya huwa tha. Yoo-Jung ko udhar aise khadi daikh Malphas aur bhi hansne laga.
Game Master (Smile): Really? Kya tum samajh bhi rahi ho ke yanha haath khone ka kya matlab hai?
Yoo-Jung (Stared): Aur tumhe ye samajh aa rahi hai ke yanha haath na khone se kya ho ga, Dumbass?
Game Master: *Silence*
Yoo-Jung ke saval per Game Master bhi bilkul chup ho gaya. Yoo-Jung usko simple baat bata rahi thi ke yanha agar haath sacrifice nahi kiya to unke paas aage badhne ka mauka he nahi ho ga.
Aise mein haath bacha ker bhi kya he faiyda hona tha? Ye ek basic knowledge thi. Lekin bohat se log waisi situation mein selfish ho ker ye soch he nahi pate the.
Lekin Game Master ko bhi ye ehsaas nahi tha ke uske saamne khade huwe dono he log sadharan insaan nahi the. Unke khud ke teammate bhi unko daikh ker hairan the. Lekin wo bhi ab unko rok nahi sakte the.
Yoo-Jung ne ek baar dobara Aarav ke aage haath ker diya. Aarav ne bhi uske haath ko pakad liya aur usko khinchne laga.
*Rrrrriip!*
*Crack*
Aarav ne Yoo-Jung ke ek haath ko khinchate huwe ukhadna shuru ker diya. Yoo-Jung ki skin khinchati daikh aur uski haddiyo ke crack hone ki awaazon ko sun ker udhar sab ke raungte khade hone lage.
*Splash*
Aarav ne uske haath ko beech se ukhad ker alag ker diya aur uske alag hote he Yoo-Jung ke haath se khoon ka favara chhalak pada aur neeche girne laga.
Caroline (Shivering): Luna, Ye healing potion le lo...!
Caroline ne Yoo-Jung ko ek healing potion de ker heal karna chaha to Yoo-Jung ne usko beech mein he rok diya aur apne bacche huwe haath ko baandh ker khoon ko behne se rok diya.
Game Master (Stunned): Fucking Monsters...!
Game Master ko bhi ab samajh nahi aa rahi thi ke ye bahaduri thi ya bewakoofi thi. Lekin usko bhi ye samajh aa gayi thi ke dono he crazy the.
[Dare Completed]
[Corpse has completed both dares successfully!]
[It is now Corpse’s turn to give a dare to the Game Master]
[Reminder: The dare must also be completed by Corpse]
[Position Switching]
[The Game Master position has switched]
[Corpse is now the Game Master for this turn]
Ab Aarav ki turn thi Game Master ko Dare dene ki aur uske paas Game Master ki authority bhi aa gayi thi sirf uss round ke liye. Lekin ab usko bhi Dare ko saath he complete karna tha.
Ek saath sab log Aarav ke Dare ko sunane ko taiyar ho gaye. Yanha tak ke Game Master khud bhi ab thoda dar raha tha. Aarav ne ab tak usko bohat si unexpected cheeze dikha di thi.
Aarav (Grin): My dare is simple...! You have to do 200 pushups, 1,000 jumping jacks, a 10-kilometer run around the stage, 200 up-downs, and 100 burpees.
Game Master: What?
Game Master ke saath udhar baaki sab bhi Aarav ke dare ko sun ker hairan ho gaye. Aarav ab tak Game Master ke dares ko bachkane keh raha tha aur khud usko excercise ka dare de raha tha.
Aarav (Nod): Yes, But here’s the twist...! you’ll do it all under 10 times Earth’s gravity.
Game Master: Aur?
Aarav: Aur kuch bhi nahi...!
10 times gravity mushkil thi. Lekin dono he players the unke liye ye karna possible tha. Lekin ye dara uske baad bhi unke liye bohat easy tha. Ab Game master ko lag raha tha ke Aarav uske saath khel he raha tha.
Game Master: Ye kya chaal chal rahe ho? Konsi khurafat chal rahi hai tumhe dimag ke andar?
Aarav (Smile): Kaisi khurafat? Ek dare diya hai ab usko complete bhi to karo na...!
Malphas: Huh?
[The Game Master has been issued a dare by Corpse!]
Udhar sab he Aarav ke dare se hairan the. Lekin ye Game Master ke liye possible tha to usne ye karne ka soch liya kyu ke Aarav ne uske Dare ko Use ker liya tha.
Malphas: Adjusting Gravity...!
Malphas ne sirf unke upar Gravity ko 10 times aur badha diya. Game Master fauran he Pushups ke liye position mein aa gaya.
Aarav ne uski taraf ek baar muskurate huwe daikha aur usne apni shirt ko utaar diya. Uske baad wo bhi pushups ke liye neeche position per aa gaya. Unke upar gravity zyada thi ye position normal se hard thi unke liye.
*Thump*
Aarav: Let's start....1...2...3...4...!

Dungeon ~ Spectators' Room
“What the fuck? Ye konsa Dare diya hai? Hum kya yanha per logo ko excercise karte daikhne ke liye aye hai? Paisa barbad behanchod...!”
Ek Deathwatcher uski jagha se gusse mein uthate huwe bola. Uske saath aur bhi Deathwatchers khush nahi the. Lekin kuch abhi bhi daikhna chah rahe the ke ye game aage kya rukh leti hai.
Joe (Deathwatcher): Calm down...! Yanha per abhi kehne se kya ho ga? Ladka mujhe acha he lag raha hai. Aage kuch bhi ho sakta hai.
Bryan (Deathwatcher) (Furious): Usko karne he ho ga! Ye agar kuch nahi kiya to aage saale ki gaand maar ker rakh dunga.
Joe (Smile): Ye tumhara to pata nahi! Lekin shayad aur uski already taiyari ker rahi hai.
Joe ne unke paas mein he baithi ek Deathwatcher ki taraf ishara karte huwe kaha to Bryan bhi uski taraf daikhne laga. Unke saamne ek bohat he khusburat middle age woman baithi huwi thi.
Lekin uski nazar screen per shirtless Pushups laga rahe Aarav per thi. Aurat aise he Eye candy ladko ko pasand karne ke liye famous thi. Aarav ki body ko daikh ker uske bhi arman jaag rahe the.
*Press*

Carnival of Death
Dungeon ~ Stage 1 Floor 1
*Panting*
[Dare Completed!]
[The Game Master has successfully completed the dare issued by Corpse]
Aarav aur Game Master dono ne he Dare complete ker liya tha aur Game Master ka sharir pasine se bheeg gaya tha. Lekin Game Master hairan tha ke Dare mein aur kuch bhi nahi huwa tha.
[You've been sponsored by a Deathwatcher!]
[Sponsor: Red Rose]
[Dungeon Points: 130]
[Red Rose has taken a special interest in your body]
Aarav: *Smile*
Game Master (Laugh): Hahahaha, Ye he Dara tha kya? Lagta hai main ne tumhe kuch zyada he overestimate ker liya tha... Pathetic...!
Aarav: *Smile*
Game Master Aarav ko taunt karne ki koshish ker raha tha. Lekin uske taunt per Aarav ne sirf uski taraf muskurate huwe daikh liya. Ye ab Game Master ko aur bhi satane laga tha.
[The Game Master position has switched back]
[The original Game Master has regained his position]
[We will now proceed to the next stage of the game]
[Round 2 Begins]
[Round 2: Truth]
[The Game Master will now ask the first question]
[Answer truthfully to move forward]
Ab unhone Dare round ko complete ker liya tha aur wo next stage per aa gaye the. Game Master ko uski authority bhi dobara mil gayi thi. Aarav aur wo dono dobara ek dusre ke saamne khade ho gaye.
[Ability (Mind Whisper) Activated]
“Fuck You...!”
Game Master (Stunned): What!?
Game Master Aarav ke thoughts ko read karne ki koshish ker raha tha. Lekin Aarav ke thoughts mein usko seedhe 2 unexpected words sunayi diye.
Game Master (Relaxed): Let's try again...!
[Ability (Mind Whisper) Activated]
“Kya daikhna chah raha hai dumbass?”
Game Master: Huh?
Game Master ko vishwas nahi ho raha tha. Lekin ye pehli baar tha ke koi uske saamne yun khud ke thoughts ko control ker raha tha. Lekin wo Aarav ke real thoughts ko read ker nahi pa raha tha.
Kisi bhi insaan ke liye uske thoughts ko shift karna easy nahi tha. Uske liye ek strong mentality chahiye hoti thi. Lekin uske baad bhi Game Master ke liye uske andar gade huwe thoughts ko padhan mushkil nahi tha.
Lekin Aarav sab se alag tha. Aarav ek bohat lambe samay ke liye insanon se dur monsters ke beech reh ker aya tha. Ek lambe samay tak ap ke paas baat karne ko koi na ho to insaan ke thoughts negative turn le lete the.
Aarav ne prison ke andar kayi jagha per uske mind ko shift kiya tha. Ye he kaaran tha ke Aarav ka mind dusron se aur bhi strong tha aur uske intelligence stats bhi 500+ the.
Uske liye ye child's play tha. Lekin ab uske saamne Game Master ko kuch bhi samajh nahi aa rahi thi ke ye kya ho raha hai. Lekin usko samay rehte he saval karna tha.
Game Master (Smile): What’s your biggest regret? The one that keeps you awake at night, clawing at your sanity. Say it. Out loud. Relive it.
Aarav (Thinking): Regret...? Yeah, i have one... My regret is challenging an idiot like you and thinking it’d actually be entertaining.
Malphas (Laugh): Kekekeke... Fascinating....!
Aarav ka javab sun ker Game Master uska chehra he daikhta reh gaya. Uske saath he udhar baaki sab ki bhi hansi nikal ayi. Ye daikh Game master ko bhi gussa ane laga.
[Ability (Mind Whisper) Activated]
“Stop Trying... Idiot...!”
Game Master ne ek baar dobara Aarav ke thoughts ko padhne ki koshish ki. Lekin ab ki baar bhi usko kuch bhi pata nahi laga aur ye baat usko aur bhi annoy karne lagi.
[The Game Master was unable to verify the truth of the answer within 15 seconds]
[The answer is automatically considered true]
[Proceed to the next question]
Game Master (Furious): Kaise ker rahe ho ye tum?
Game Master ne aakhir uske act ko chhod he diya aur seedhe seedhe puch liya. Lekin uske saval per Aarav ne javab nahi diya aur uske saamne apni middle finger ker di.
Aarav: Fuck You...!
Game Master (Furious): Yo-
Malphas (Interfering): Next Question...!
Malphas ke interfere karne per Game Master bhi shaant ho gaya aur agla saval sochne laga. Usne ab tak sirf dusron ki weakness per saval banaye the. Lekin uske paas Aarav ki ek bhi weakness nahi thi.
Game Master: Who begged you to stay, and you walked away? Did you even look back?
[Ability (Mind Whisper) Activated]
Game Master ne kehte saath he ability ko active ker liya aur Aarav ke first thought ko read karne ki koshish karne laga. Lekin uski harkat daikh Aarav ne apne head ko halka tilt ker liya aur muskurane laga.
“Your Mom”
*Thump*
Aarav ke thought ko read karte he Game Master ki aankhe ek pal mein laal ho gayi. Uske reaction ko daikh ker Aarav bhi chaunk gaya. Usne itna bhi strong reaction expect nahi kiya tha.
Aarav: Your Mom...!
Aarav ne ek baar dobara uske javab ko muh se bhi keh diya. Ye sun ker Game Master aage badhne laga to Malphas ne usko beech mein he rok diya.
Malphas: Next Question...!
[The answer has been verified as true!]
[Corpse has answered both questions truthfully!]
[Corpse may now ask one question to the Game Master, which must be answered truthfully]
[The Game Master position has switched]
[Corpse is now the Game Master for the final question]
[As per the rules, Corpse is allowed to use the ability he selected before the game started]
Game Master (Breath): Fuuuu ~ Huh...!
Game Master Aarav ke last question ke liye ready ho gaya. Usko ab sirf ek javab dena tha aur wo uske baad Game khatam ker sakta tha.
Usko regret tha ke wo Aarav ko hara nahi saka tha. Lekin uske baad bhi usne kuch bhi ab tak khoya nahi tha. Lekin usne Aarav ki taraf daikha to uske andar dobara khauf janam lene laga.
Aarav ke chehre per ek katilana muskurahat saji huwi thi aur wo Game Master ko aise daikh raha tha jaise ek bhediya uske shikar ko daikhta tha.
[Analyzing target's mental state...]
[Analysis Complete]
[Target Status: Exhausted]
[Target’s mental defenses: Weak]
[Guard Status: Lowered]
[All conditions for ability (Mnemosyne's Gaze) have been met]
[Ability (Mnemosyne's Gaze) Activated]
Aarav ne uski aankhen band ker li aur usne apni ability Mnemosyne's Gaze ko active ker liya. Aarav ke Game Master ko diye Dare se wo abhi bhi bohat exhaust tha aur ab tak Aarav ke usko mock karne se uski mental strength bhi kam ho gayi thi.
Ye he mauka tha Aarav ke paas uske mind mein ghusne ke liye. Aarav ko aankhen band kiye daikh ker Game Master thoda hairan huwa. Lekin uske kuch samajh ata usse pehle he Aarav ne uski aankhon ko khol liya.
Lekin ab Aarav ke chehre per kuch alag he tarha ke expressions the. Disgusted, Shocked aur happy ek saath Aarav ke chehre per bohat se expressions the. Lekin sab ke baad Aarav ke chehre per dobara ek muskurahat thi.
Aarav (Grin): You filthy little creep! Did you really enjoyed fucking your own mother?
[Corpse has asked his question to the Game Master]
*Ba-dump-Ba-dump*
Ek pal mein Game Master ke dil dhadkane badhne lagi aur uske chehre ki rang udne lage. Usse uske khud ke kaano per vishwas nahi ho raha tha. Lekin Aarav ke chehre ki muskurahat se uske sharir aur bhi kaanp raha tha.
Game Master (Trembling): Y-Ye kya keh rahe ho? Y-Ye kab huwa?
Aarav: Come on, Stop pretending and tell me! How did it feel? Did she scream? Did she beg you to stop?
Game Master (shaking, breaking down)! Please...! stop...!
Game Master khud ko mushkil se control ker raha tha. Uski nazre uske aas-paas khade huwe sab logo ki taraf daikh rahi thi. Sab log usko ab ghin ki nazron se daikh rahe the.
Aarav (mockingly): Stop? But I’m just getting started! (leans in closer) Tell me, how did it feel to screw the very hole you came from?
Game Master (Scream): I said, Stoopppp!
*Bang*
*Bang*
*Bang*
*Clank*
Game Master ne kehte huwe gun ko uthaya aur Aarav ko shoot ker diya. Lekin Aarav ne ek dagger nikal ker uski Bullet ko beech se kaat diya.
Game Master ek baar dobara shoot karne laga to unke beech Malphas aa gaya.
Malphas: Game Master? *Scoff* Disappointed...!
[The Game Master has failed to provide a truthful answer]
[The Game Master attempted to harm Corpse during the challenge]
[Violation Detected: The Game Master has lost]
[Penalty: The Game Master will now Die.]
[The Carnival shows no mercy to those who break its rules]
Game Master (Stunned): Huh?
