Aarav aur uski team portal se nikalte huwe seedhe Stage 4 ki lobby mein aa gayi. Stage 4 ke beech mein kisi tarha ke bhi floors nahi the aur stage 3 se lobby per direct portal tha.
*Thud*
Portal se baahir ate he Caroline uske ghutnon per gir gayi. Uske girte he Yoo-Jung uske paas chale gayi aur usko sahara dene lagi. Caroline ek combat type ki player nahi thi. Lekin Aarav ne phir bhi uski body ko khud control karte huwe king ko slay kiya tha to ab uska shareer ab uski limit per tha.
Yoo-Jung: are you okay?
Yoo-Jung ne thodi jhukte huwe Caroline ko daikh ker pucha. Lekin Caroline sar jhukaye uske haatho ko bheench ker baithi huwi thi. Yoo-Jung ne dhayan se daikha to usko Caroline ki aankhon se aansu bahte huwe dikhayi diye.
Uski ye halat daikhte he Yoo-Jung ne aage badh ker usko banhon mein bhar liya. Caroline Yoo-Jung ki bahon mein dubak ker rone lagi. Yoo-Jung uske dard ko samajh sakti thi.
Un sab ke liye to Becky sirf ek teammate he thi per Caroline ki Becky se zyada attachment thi. Becky ke C.O.D mein ane ka kaaran Caroline ko protect karna he tha aur ab Caroline ko lag raha tha ke ye sab uski galti thi.
Aarav aur Kunle unki jagha per khamoshi se khade rahe aur Yoo-Jung ne bhi usko dil khol ker roo lene diya. Unhe bhi ehsaas tha ke unke kisi shabdon se Caroline ka dukh khatam nahi hone wala tha.
Lekin wo sab uske paas khade rahe ke usko akela mehsoos na ho. Unke paas hone se Caroline bhi utna lonely mehsoos nahi ker rahi thi. Lekin uske baad bhi uske dil ke andar ek tees si uth rahi thi.
*Clap ~ Clap ~ Clap*
“So, you’re the first ones out?”
Yoo-Jung baithi Caroline ko comfort ker he rahi thi ke unke paas taliyon ki awaaz ane lagi. Taliyon ki awaaz sun ker sab ne upar ki taraf daikha to unke upar he Merlin(Game Master) baitha huwa tha.
*Thud*
*Shing*
Merlin upar se kudte huwe neeche utar aya. Lekin uske neeche ate he Kunle ne uski shield ko utha liya aur wo ab apna guard down karne ke liye bilkul bhi taiyar nahi tha.
Merlin: Ohh, Lagta hai game zyada pasand nahi ayi tumhe! Itni strong killing instinct? *Grin* Not bad… but it's nowhere near enough to shake me.
Merlin ne udhar uske saamne baithi huwi Caroline ki taraf daikhte huwe kaha aur halka muskurane laga. Aarav ne Caroline ki taraf daikha to Caroline uski iron sword per grip banaye Merlin ko faad ker dene wali nazron se daikhte huwe khadi hone lagi.
Aarav: [Caroline, don't move!]
*Shing*
*Thud*
*Thud*
*Thud*
Caroline (Scream): Hahhhh!
Aarav ne Caroline ko khadi hote huwe daikha to usne usko udhar he shaant ho ker rukne ke liye kaha. Lekin Caroline ne uski baat suni bhi nahi aur sword per strong grip bana ker Merlin ki taraf bhaagne lagi.
Lekin Caroline ko apni taraf bhaagte ati huwi daikh ker bhi Merlin uski jagha per shaanti se khada huwa tha. Caroline abhi Merlin ke paas pohanchne he wali thi ke uske shareer se uska control khatam ho gaya aur wo udhar he freeze ho gayi.
Usko udhar ruke daikh sab ne peeche daikha to Aarav chamakti aankhon ke saath Caroline ko he daikh raha tha.
Aarav (Glare): I said don’t move!
Aarav ne abhi bhi Caroline ki soul ko unbind nahi kiya tha. Ye he kaaran tha ke Aarav ne zyada react nahi kiya tha. Lekin Aarav ki aankhon mein daikhte he Caroline ki bhi halat bigad gayi.
Aarav: He’s just trying to provoke you!
Aarav ko Merlin ka sajish samajh aa rahi thi. Usne shuru se Caroline ko target kiya tha aur usko bhi ab pata tha ke Caroline team ki kazmor kari hai. Becky ko beech mein la ker wo usko provoke ker raha tha aur wo ho bhi rahi thi.
Lekin Aarav sirf Caroline ke emotions ke liye usko puri team ko he khatre mein nahi daalne de sakta tha. Kyu ke Caroline ke attack karte he rule ki violation hone wali thi aur wo sab eliminate hone wale the.
Merlin (Sigh): Huh, Laga he tha ke tum per ek trick 2 baar kaam nahi kare gi! Lekin uske baad bhi tum sab se jaisa entertainment chahiye tha wo to mil he gaya hai.
Aarav uski baat ka matlab samajh raha tha. Ab tak uski team se ek bhi nahi mara tha. Deathwatchers ke liye ye unki haar ke jaisa tha. Lekin ab jab Aarav ek baar haar chuka tha to unhe aisa lag raha tha ke Aarav bhi unke liye dusre kamzor players ki tarha he ek player hai.
“Two teams are still inside”
Aarav ko uske peeche se Yoo-Jung ki awaaz sunayi di. Usne peeche daikha to unke peeche 2 portal aur bane huwe the aur dono glow ker rahe the. Unko daikhte he Aarav bhi samajh gaya ke old man aur Eren ki team abhi bhi andar thi.
Aarav (Exhale): Unka kuch der yanhi per wait karte hai... Vengeance?
Aarav ne Caroline ki taraf daikhte huwe kaha. Jaise wo puch raha ho ke kya wo ab uske upar trust ker sakta hai kya? Aarav ke puchne per Caroline ne bhi daant peesate huwe haath ki mutthi bheenchte huwe haan mein sar hila diya.
Aarav: Good...!
Aarav ne usko dobara chhod diya. Lekin uski soul ko unbind nahi kiya aur khud udhar he baith gaya aur rest karne laga. Uske baad Caroline ne ek baar Merlin ki taraf daikha to haath hilate huwe usko bye bye keh raha tha.
Usko daikh ker Caroline ko gussa to bohat zyada aya. Lekin usne khud ko shaant kiya aur muh pher ker wo bhi udhar he baith gayi aur wo sab dusri teams ka intezar karne lage.

Pavanpur Village
India ~ 7:25 AM
*Yawn*
“Yaar kya subha subha he itni mehnat wale kaam mein laga dete hai Shahab ji?”
Ramesh aur Sukhdev gaon ke paas wale jungle ki taraf badh rahe the. Un dono unke kandhon per kulhadiya uthayi huwi thi saath ek jhola pehna huwa tha aur uske andar katayi ka he kuch saman rakha huwa tha.
Ramesh: Ab karna to ho ga he na hamay! Ye jungle wala raasta kitne dino se band ho gaya hai pedon ke beech mein ane se... Ab jungle se sab ke jaane ke liye raasta to banana he ho ga warna shahab ji ka kitna nuksan ho jaye ga andaza bhi hai kya?
Ramesh ne chalte huwe Sukhdev se kaha aur dono unke saamne jungle ko daikhne lage. Unke aage pedon ki tahaniyon ka jaal bana huwa tha aur raasta bhi bohat tang ho gaya huwa tha udhar se khaali haath nikalna bhi mushkil ho raha tha.
Sukhdev: Lekin ye jungle ko ho kya gaya hai? Abhi hafta pehle tak to sab theek tha main khud yanha se ho ker gaya tha. Lekin ab to jaise ped paudhe pagalon ki tarha badhte he ja rahe hai aur to aur kheton mein bhi aisa he ho raha hai.
Ramesh: Haan ye to main ne bhi suna hai! Makkai aur gehu ke kheton mein itni hariyali ho gayi hai ki rasta bhi dikhna band ho gaya hai. Kal Ram Kaka bata rahe the ki aisa pehli baar ho raha hai… bole ke ye koi devi-kripa hai.
Sukhdev (Sigh): Devi-kripa ho ya kuch aur, hume toh bas apna kaam karna hai! Aj ka kaam jaldi se khatam karte hai aur nikalte hai.
Ramesh (Nod): Haan...!
Ramesh aur Sukhdev ne baate band ki aur jungle aur bhi bhitar jaane lage. Unhe daikhna tha ke ye raasta kanha tak aise he band hai aur uske baad kaam shuru karna tha. Lekin jitna wo andar ja rahe the utna he unhe ajeeb lag raha tha.
Unke paas ki havayen unhe aur bhi taza lag rahi thi aur unhen khushbu aa rahi thi jaise baarish ke baad mitti se ati thi. Unke paas ke ped phool paudhe sab bade ho rahe the aur unke patte chamak rahe the.
Ramesh: Huh? Ye kon hai?
Jungle mein thoda aur andar jaane ke baad unhe paas he ek khula maidan dikhayi diya. Uske beech mein ek bada ped tha aur uske neeche koi aadami baitha huwa tha. Lekin uske paas he jungle ke bohat se janvar bhi shaanti se baithe huwe the.
Sukhdev: Ye jungle ke itna andar kon aise janvaron ke beech baitha ho sakta hai?... Y-Ye kanhi kisi tarha ka tapasvi to nahi kya?
Ramesh (Gulp): Ye to mujhe bhi pata nahi ke ye kon hai! Lekin ye koi sadharan manushya to nahi lag raha mujhe... Ye sab badalav bhi shayad iske he kaaran ho rahe hai. Daikh kaise sab janvar uske paas baithe huwe hai aur mujhe to uske andar se mayavi shaktiyan bhi mehsoos ho rahi hai.
Ramesh sk sadharan insaan tha. Lekin uske baad bhi wo strong aura ko feel ker raha tha. Uski aur Sukhdev ki dar se halat kharab hone lagi aur dono ek dusre ki taraf daikhne lage.
Lekin unse dur baithe aadami ko bhi unke udhar hone ka ehsaas ho gaya tha.
“Great, Yanha per bhi uninvited guest aa gye...!”
Ek awaaz sunte he aadami ne bhi uski aankhe khol li aur apne paas ek ped ki taraf daikhne laga. Usko udhar ped ke neeche ek ladki khadi huwi dikhayi di.
Ladki (Sigh): Rahul, Ye already teesra gaon hai! Ab aur kitne gaon badalne ho gye?
Ped ke neeche baitha wo aadami Rahul he tha aur uske paas khadi huwi ladki Sophia thi Nature clan se. Aarav ne Sophia ko Rahul ke paas bheja tha Rahul ke andar nature qi core ko develop karwane ke liye.
Jaise ke Aarav ne usko kaha tha Sophia ko Rahul ke andar bohat potential dikhayi di. Rahul bina core ke he nature energy ko use ker sakta tha. Ye daikh ker Sophia bhi hairaan thi.
Rahul energy ko use to ker sakta tha per uske paas wo nature energy store karne ke liye uska core nahi tha. Uski body he uske liye temporary core ki tarha kaam kar rahi thi. Lekin usko uski nature energy ko immediately release karna padta tha.
Aarav ke kehne per Sophia uske andar core banane mein madad karne lagi thi. Lekin Rahul ki direct aur pure nature energy se uske paas ke area per bhi affect hota tha aur udhar nature bhi pure ho jata tha.
Jaise havaon aur pani ka aur pure ho jana aur ped paudhon ka tezi se aur zyada badhna. Ye he kaaran tha ke unhe Rahul ke nature qi ki cultivation ke liye kisi jungle area mein ana padta tha.
Lekin jungle ki growth se bhi logo ko unka pata lag jata tha aur paas ke log unhen devi devata kehne lag jate the. Uske baad unhe udhar se gayab hona padta tha aur ab wo teesre gaon ke jungle mein aye huwe the.
Rahul (Sigh): Ab main kya ker sakta hu? Sage level ke breakthrough ke liye mujhe bohat zyada energy collect karni per rahi hai.
Sophia: Uske liye ab tum wait bhi to kar he sakte ho na? Already tumhara sirf kuch dinon mein he master level per ana bohat chaunka dene wali baat hai... Lekin again, Tum Aarav ke student ho aur usko bhi journeyman Level per ane mein sirf kuch he din lage the. Ughhhh, Jaisa master hai waisa he usko apprentice bhi mila hai...!
Aarav ko Sophia ko Rahul ke paas bheje kuch din he huwe the. Lekin usne kuch dinon mein he uske core ko journeyman level tak le gaya tha. Rahul ka nature energy ko cultivate karne ka tarika Sophia aur baaki Qi clan se alag tha.
Rahul direct source se uski energy ko kheench raha tha aur usko apna bana raha tha. Journeyman level per uski qi energy Sophia ki nature energy se heavy mehsoos ho rahi thi.
Rahul: Lekin ye kaafi nahi hai!!
Sophia: Huh!?
Rahul: Master bohat aage nikal chuke hai! Aur unke strong hone ke saath ab unke dushman bhi strong players he hai... Agar hamay unke saath ladna hai to hamay strong hona ho ga... Abhi jitne hai usse bohat zyada strong hona ho ga. Uske baad he main Master aur Shadow per ek bojh nahi unka ek sahara ban sakta hu...!
Rahul ko ab tak uski last fight yaad thi. Uske zinda hone ka kaaran uska luck aur Kunal ka sahi samay per ana he tha. Lekin usko bhi pata tha ke uske aage ke opponents ab aur bhi strong hone wale hai aur uske liye usko bhi strong hona ho ga.
Sophia: Lekin tum jaldi level up karne ke chakkar mein basics ko neglect nahi ker sakte ho! Basic he perfect nahi ho gye to tumhari energy ek bomb se zyada aur kuch bhi nahi hai.
Sophia ki baat bhi uski jagha sahi thi. Strength ek proper technique ke bina andar se khokhali he hoti hai. Ab tak Rahul ne uski zyada techniques ko seekhne ki koshish he nahi ki thi.
*CRACK*
“Dhayan se chal... Usko hamare yanha hone ka pata lag jaye ga...!”
Ramesh aur Sukhdev ab chalte huwe unke kareeb aa chuke the. Lekin unke beech distance abhi bhi thi per Rahul aur Sophia ko unki awaaz dur se bhi saaf sunayi de rahi thi.
Sophia: Ab hamara aur yanha rukna sahi nahi ho ga...! Main ne tumhe wild phantom technique di thi practice karne ke liye. Usko samjhe ya nahi?
Rahul (Nod): Haan...!
Sophia (Smile): Good, Ab test kar le kya?
Rahul: *Nod*
Rahul thoda peeche ho ker seedha khada ho gaya aur Sophia usko daikhne lagi. Rahul uski aankhon ke saamne he tha ke achanak uski presence fade hone lagi aur agle he pal Rahul uske saamne hote huwe bhi uske saamne nahi tha.
Sophia: Master aur Apprentice sach mein monster hai! Ye seekhne mein mujhe 3 saal lage the.
Uske saath he Sophia bhi wild phantom technique use karte huwe udhar se gayab ho gayi. Udhar unko dhundhte huwe Ramesh aur Sukhdev udhar aye to saamne kisi ko na daikh ker dono ki aankhen hairani se khul gayi.
Sukhdev (Stunned): B-Bhai... Main keh raha tha ke ye koi bada khatarnak tapasvi hai! Bhaag le yanha se warna bhasm ho jaye gye hum dono...
Sukhdev kehte huwe udhar se bhaagne laga aur uske peeche he Ramesh bhi bhaagte huwe waapis gaon ki taraf jaane laga.

Carnival of Death
Dungeon ~ Stage 3 Lobby
*Zzzgggg*
*Thud*
*Thud*
*Cough-Cough*
[Current Players in Lobby: 6]
Aarav aur uski team baithi huwi intezar ker he rahi thi ke dono mein se ek portal activate huwa aur uske andar se Mira aur Daryl baahir nikalte huwe gir gye aur dono ne uthne ki koshish bhi nahi ki aur udhar he unka muh chupaye gire rahe aur unke rote ki siskiyan Aarav ko dur se sunayi de rahi thi.
*Zzzgggg*
Unke baahir ate saath he unke peeche ko dono ke dono portals close ho gye. Ye daikhte he Aarav ko andaza ho gaya ke Old man ki team aur Eren mar chuke the.
Yoo-Jung: Mira...!
Ab ki baar bhi Yoo-Jung he uth ker unke paas gayi aur usne Mira ko pakadte huwe utha diya. Lekin usne Mira ki halat daikhi to wo bhi Caroline ki he tarha ki halat mein thi.
Caroline: Eren... Eren... *Sniff* He's gone...!
Yoo-Jung: I know... I know!
Yoo-Jung ne uske kandhon per haath rakhte huwe kaha aur Mira uske saath lag ker phoot phoot ker rone lagi. Yoo-Jung bhi usko comfort karne lagi aur dusri taraf Daryl bhi haare huwe khiladi ki tarha baitha huwa tha.
Daryl (Furious): Lekin kaise? Ye kaise ho sakta hai? Queen D7 se E8 ke baad checkmate hona chahiye tha lekin kaise? Kaise F3 ke knight ne D4 ke bishop ko maar diya?... Y-Ye sab tumhari galti hai...!
Daryl kehte huwe Merlin ki taraf badhne laga to ab ki baar Kunle ne aage badh ker usko rok diya. Lekin Daryl usko udhar he dafan ker dena chahata tha.
Merlin: Well... Well... Well... What do we have here? 2 teams... Lekin next stage per to sirf ek he team ja sakti hai to ab kya karo gye? Ek team ko maar kar aage badhoge ya dusri team ke saath haath mila kar ek team banaoge?
Merlin ne uski ungaliyan hilate huwe mysterious tone mein kaha aur sab ki taraf daikhne laga. Dusri team ke saath teamup karne ka matlab tha ke reward bhi un sab ke saath split hone wala tha. Ek baar dobara Merlin uski cheap games khel raha tha.
Aarav: Hum dono tarha se taiyar hai! Mira aur Daryl hamare saath ana chahe to aa sakte hai aur agar tum dono ladna chahate ho to... Hum tumhe maar kar aage badhne ke liye bhi taiyar hai.
Aarav ne uski sword per haath rakhte huwe kaha to dono ne fauran haan mein sar hila diya aur teamup ke liye taiyar ho gye.
Tinkerbell: [Master... Seriously? Ap Dead weight kyu carry karna chahate ho?]
Aarav (Sigh): [Huh, Main unhe saath zaroor ane de raha hu! But it's not like ke mujhe unhe protect bhi karna ho ga, aur waise bhi hamay next stage mein bhi shayad meat shield ki zaroorat per sakti hai. Mushkil samay mein hamay sacrifice karne ke liye ye dead weights he chahiye hai]
Aarav ki baat sun ker Tinkerbell bhi uski planning ko samajh gayi. Lekin ye bhi galat nahi tha ke Aarav unko bina kisi reason ke yanha chhodna bhi nahi chahata tha to uski intentions puri tarha se galat nahi thi aur puri tarha se sahi bhi nahi thi.
Yoo-Jung: Queen D7 aur Bishop D4... Kya king G2 per tha?
Abhi sab ka dhayan Aarav aur Merlin ki taraf tha aur udhar Yoo-Jung calculations ker rahi thi. Uske saval ker sun ker Mira ne ek baar uski taraf daikha aur phir haan mein sar hila diya.
Yoo-Jung: Aur tum logo ke paas 17 minute aur 23 second ka samay tha?
Mira: *Nod*
[Board Position]
[White Pieces:
King on g2
Queen on e7
Bishop on c4]
[Black Pieces:
King on g8
Rook on f8
Knight on e5
Pawn on h7
Pawn on a3]
Aarav: [Yoo-Jung, Ye sab kya puch rahi ho?]
Aarav ne saval kiya per Yoo-Jung baithi kuch sochti rahi. Aarav ne bhi usko sochane diya aur khada ho ker usko daikhta raha aur kuch der baad Yoo-Jung ne sar uthaya aur Merlin ki taraf daikhne lagi.
Yoo-Jung: Tumhara naam Merlin nahi hai...!
Yoo-Jung ka saval sunte he Merlin bhi usko chaunk ker daikhne laga.
Merlin: Aur tum ye kaise keh sakti ho?
Yoo-Jung: Kyu ke tumhara naam **** hai...!
[Warning: Revealing the Game Master’s name is strictly prohibited]
[Trying again will result in immediate elimination]
Yoo-Jung ne jaise he naam liya uski awaaz ek pal ke liye mute ho gayi aur kisi ko bhi naam sunayi nahi diya. Lekin udhar Merlin ki aankhe hairat se khul gayi aur idhar Yoo-Jung ki muskurahat aur bhi gehri ho gayi.
Yoo-Jung: Revealing the Game Master’s name is strictly prohibited *Grin* Iska matlab mera liya huwa naam sahi tha?
Merlin (Annoyed): Tch ~
[You have received a sponsorship!]
[▶ Player: Luna
Sponsor: Red Rose
Reason: For displaying exceptional intelligence and figuring out the Game Master’s identity.
Reward: +300 Dungeon Points]
Yoo-Jung ne uska naam sahi guess ker liya tha aur ye pata lagne ke baad Merlin ka shareer pehli baar gusse se kaanpta dikhayi de raha tha. Lekin jaise Yoo-Jung usko kuch nahi kar sakti thi waise he wo bhi Yoo-Jung kuch nahi kar sakta tha.
Caroline: [Kya naam hai iska?]
Yoo-Jung ko uske paas baithi Caroline ki awaaz uske mann mein sunayi di. Usne Caroline ki taraf daikha to wo Merlin ko aise daikh rahi thi jaise wo abhi uska khoon pee jaye gi.
Yoo-Jung: [Mujhe nahi lagta ke game master ka naam kisi ko telepathically bhi bata sakti hu! Aur dobara try karna mere liye maut ka kaaran ban sakti hai]
Caroline uski baat samajh sakti thi aur phir wo bhi khamosh ho gayi.
Kunle: [Lekin tum ne uska naam guess kaise kiya?]
Yoo-Jung (Smile): [Main bada hint to nahi de sakti hu! Lekin ye chess board ki positions random nahi thi. They were the exact unfinished games of a real chess player]
Kunle: [Chess player?]
Yoo-Jung (Nod): [Haan, Lekin ek normal chess player ki games nahi! Ye ek Grand Master ki unfinished games thi aur meri archery classes mein iske baare mein baate hoti thi to ye kuch games mujhe bhi yaad thi]
Kunle (Stunned): [Are you serious? Kitne saal ho gye uss baat ko?]
Yoo-Jung: [13-14 Years]
Kunle: [Aur tumhe ab bhi wo 1-2 baar huwi baaton se puri game yaad hai?]
Yoo-Jung (Nod): [Haan]
Yoo-Jung ke javab per Kunle bhi speechless reh gaya. Lekin un sab ke beech mein Aarav khamoshi se khada sab kuch sun raha tha.
Aarav: Luna... Tumhe game master ku identity puri tarha se pata hai ya sirf naam pata hai?
Aarav ke saval per sab uski taraf daikhne lage. Usne ye saval telepathically nahi merlin ki aankhon mein aankhen daalte huwe pucha tha.
Yoo-Jung (Nod): Haan...!
Aarav (Smirk): Great...!
[Your murderous intent is radiating outward]
*Woooosh*
*Gasping*
Aarav ne uske saamne Merlin ki taraf daikhte huwe uski murderous intent ko release kiya to Merlin fauran he uchalte huwe peeche ho gaya. Usne haath Aarav ko block karne ke liye utha liye aur Aarav ki murderous intent se uske sabhi mental strength ko badhane wale barrier toot gye aur uska shareer dar se kaanpne laga.
Aarav (Grin): Oh? Now that’s a reaction! Guess I’m finally close to making you sweat, huh?
Aarav ne Merlin ki taraf daikhte huwe muskurate huwe kaha to Merlin ke muh se awaaz tak nahi nikli.
Aarav: Ab tumhe janha bhaagna hai bhaag sakte ho! Lekin yaad rakhna... Hum mein se ek bhi baahir aya to tumhari maut pakki hai...!
Aarav seedhe seedhe Game Master ko dhamka raha tha.
[You have received a sponsorship!]
[▶ Player: Corpse
Sponsor: Big Billy
Reason: For his boldness in challenging the Game Master without fear.
Reward: 400 Dungeon Points]
Aarav ne seedhe Merlin ko dhamki de di aur wo sunte he Deathwatchers Aarav ko sponsor karne lage aur udhar Merlin ki gaand phat chuki thi aur wo sirf Aarav ko daikhta he reh gaya.
Aarav: We’re done with this stage! Let’s move on.
Aarav ne uski team se kaha aur unke saath aage badh gaya. Uske peeche se Merlin bhi kab gayab huwa kisi ko pata nahi laga. Aarav uski team ke saath kuch der yun he aage badhta raha aur usko next stage ka portal dikh gaya.
Aarav: [Finally, Fourth aur last stage...!]
Aarav ne uske saamne open portal ki taraf daikhte huwe kaha. Ye unki last stage thi. Carnival se baahir ye 1 week he tha. Lekin unke liye yanha per ye 1 saal ke barabar tha.
Aarav: Let's go...!
Aarav ne kaha aur aage badh ker portal ke andar chala gaya aur baaki sab bhi uske saath he Portal ke andar next stage per chale gye.
[Stage 4: Portal Unlocked]
[Teleporting to the next stage…]

AkaiShiro Corporation
Tokyo ~ 8:29 AM
[The Carnival of Death live stream has ended]
*Stream Ended*
Aakash ke saamne open window per notification aya aur uske saath he window close ho gayi.
Renjiro: Master, Live stream viewers sirf stage 3 tak carnival ko daikh sakte hai! Stage 4 sirf Deathwatchers ke liye hai. Lekin wo carnival ka result hamay bata de gye.
*Sip*
Aakash udhar kursi per baitha uski coffee pee raha tha. Usne kuch dinon se theek se khana bhi nahi khaya tha.
Aakash: Renjiro... Tumhe pata hai wo fourth stage sirf Deathwatchers ko kyu dikhate hai?
Aakash ne coffee cup ki taraf daikhte huwe Renjiro se saval kiya to Renjiro bhi uski taraf daikhne laga.
Renjiro: Kyu master?
Aakash: Kyu ke carnival unki weakness sab ko nahi dikha sakte...!
Renjiro: Carnival ki weakness?
Carnival ki aisi koi khaas weakness bhi hai ye sun ker Renjiro bhi hairaan ho gaya.
Aakash (Nod): Haan, Unki weakness mein se unki ek weakness fourth stage bhi hai! Carnival ke paas fourth stage per puri authority nahi hoti.
Renjiro: What? Lekin carnival ke paas unki he stage mein authority kyu nahi ho gi?
Aakash: I don't know, Lekin fourth stage carnival ke liye bhi surprise hoti hai! Team ke according unke liye world chunna jata hai aur unhe quest di jati hai...!
Ye khabar Renjiro ke liye bhi nayi thi. Fourth stage carnival ki he part to thi. Lekin at the same time he wo carnival se alag bhi thi. Dungeon Master ke paas bhi world aur quest select karne ki authority nahi thi.
Renjiro: Hmm ~ Lekin mujhe ek baat samajh nahi aa rahi, Master! I'm sure ke ye information bohat he top secret information ho gi aur ye to shayad kisi deathwatcher ko bhi nahi batayi gayi ho gi... Lekin ap ko ye information kaise mil gayi?
*Sip*
Renjiro ne uska saval kiya to Aakash ne coffee ka ek ghoont bhar liya aur wo Renjiro ki taraf muskurate huwe daikhne laga.
Aakash: Kyu ke mera bhai udhar carnival ke andar hai! Aur uska bhai usko bachane ke liye kuch bhi ker sakta hai aur... Kisi bhi tarha ki information pata laga sakta hai...!
Aakash ki baat sun ker Renjiro ne nod karte huwe bow ker diya. Aakash kursi se uth gaya aur baahir ki taraf chal diya. Lekin chalte huwe Aakash ruka aur halka head side ki taraf turn karte huwe side eye se Renjiro ko daikhne laga.
Aakash: Result batane ke liye bulane ki zaroorat nahi hai! Aarav laut kar zaroor aye ga. Kyu ke agar wo na aya to carnival se kabhi koi khabar bhi nahi aye gi...!
Renjiro: Yes master...!
Aakash ki baat sun ker Renjiro ne kaha aur Aakash dobara aage badhate huwe office se baahir nikal gaya. AkaiShiro Corporation kuch dinon se band ker di gayi thi to baahir office abhi khaali tha aur udhar ek bhi insaan nahi tha.

“E7... D7... C7...”
Aarav ek ke baad ek darwaze ko kholte huwe aage badh raha tha. Yoo-Jung ne usko kuch daikhne ke liye bheja tha aur wo khud baaki sab ko le ker kanhi aur chale gayi thi.
Tinkerbell: [Human Chess... Lekin ap ko ye kaise pata nahi laga?]
Aarav: [Because I’ve never played chess in my life...! Not even once]
Tinkerbell: What... Seriously? Lekin ye to ek normal game hai na? Uske baad bhi?]
Aarav (Sigh): [Huh... Lekin mera childhood normal nahi tha! Mere paas chess ya kisi bhi aur game per dhayan dene ka samay nahi tha... I know the pieces and stuff, but I’ve never actually played a full game]
Aarav ki baat sun ker Tinkerbell ko bhi ye zyada surprising nahi laga ke Aarav stage ko pehchan nahi saka kyu ke usne kabhi chess kheli he nahi thi to usko chess ka khayal tak nahi aya tha.
Tinkerbell: [So even geniuses have their limits, huh?]
Aarav (Nod): [Haan, Lekin tum mujhe waise bhi ek genius nahi keh sakti...!]
Tinkerbell: [Ab tumhe genius nahi kahu to aur kisko kahu gi? Ab tak tumhe main ne haarte huwe daikha bhi nahi hai]
Aarav (Sigh): [Main clearly ek fool nahi hu And I’m definitely smarter than most people! Main infinity prison ke andar ek lambe samay tak raha hu... it changed me. My battle instincts got sharper, my survival sense is better than ever. Lekin agar tum meri powers mujhse cheen lo to... I’m just an above-average smart guy]
Aarav ki baat ka matlab Tinkerbell bhi samajh rahi thi. Aarav ke plans bilkul flawless nahi hote the aur unke andar bohat se loopholes bhi hote the. Lekin uski strength loopholes ko cover ker leti thi.
Tinkerbell: [Aur Yoo-Jung?]
Aarav (Nod): [Yoo-Jung ko hum genius keh sakte hai! Uski observation skills shuruaat se he extra ordinary lagi hai mujhe... Lekin Yoo-Jung bhi puri tarha se unbreakable genius nahi hai]
Tinkerbell: [Lekin phir asli genius hum kis ko keh sakte hai?]
Aarav: [Aakash Sayani...!]
Aakash ka naam sunte he Tinkerbell ke mann se bhi sab doubts khatam ho gye. Aakash ke brain ko Tinkerbell ne bhi experience kiya tha. Uske saamne Aarav bhi kabhi calm nahi reh saka aur uski har baat ko Aarav bhi serious leta tha.
Ab tak Tinkerbell ne Aarav ko kisi ke saamne bhi aise nahi daikha tha jaise wo Aakash ke saamne hota tha. Aarav ko bhi pata tha ke Aakash uski taraf hai aur Aarav ko uske upar puri tarha se ab vishwas bhi tha.
Lekin Aarav ke vishwas ka kaaran sirf Aakash aur uska relation nahi tha. Aarav usko kabhi opponent ke roop mein daikhna bhi nahi chahata tha to usne Aakash per puri tarha se vishwas karne ka nirnay le liya huwa tha.
Aarav: [Yoo-Jung... Main B7 ke andar hu]
Aarav ne B7 room ke darwaze ko kholte huwe he telepathically Yoo-Jung ko bata diya. Aarav udhar se he sab rooms ko check karte huwe aa raha tha. Lekin usko raaste mein aur kuch bhi dikhayi nahi diya tha.
Yoo-Jung: [Ab B6 mein daikho ke wanha per piece hai kya?]
Aarav: [Alright...!]
Yoo-Jung ke kehte he Aarav ab neeche ke room ki taraf chal diya. Uske darwaze per B6 likha huwa tha.
*Click*
*Grooowwwrrrr*
Aarav jaise he B6 room ke andar gaya to uske aage ek aur giant castle khada huwa tha. Aarav ke andar ate he usne dobara patthar phainkane shuru ker diye.
[Flash Steps]
*Woooosh*
*Ka-booooom*
Aarav bina samay barbad kiye flash steps se aage badha aur giant castle ko todte huwe uske andar se baahir nikal gaya. Uske peeche giant castle tukaron mein toot ker bikhar gaya tha.
[invalid move!]
[The fallen piece is reforming…]
[The Black Rook has reformed!]
[The Black Rook has returned to play!]
[The board rejects your move… the piece is reset!]
Aarav ne peeche ghoom ker daikha to uske peeche giant castle dobara khada huwa tha.
Aarav (Sigh): Huh... Kitna easy hota agar main sirf isko aise he khatam ker sakta...!
Aarav: [Yoo-Jung, B6 per bhi ek Rook hai! Ab kya karna hai?]
Yoo-Jung: [Bingo... Main ne sab ko unki positions per bhej diya hai! Ab tum udhar se seedhe B1 per chale jao. Raaste mein aur koi piece nahi ho ga to tumhe rukne ki zaroorat nahi hai]
Aarav (Nod): [Good...!]
[Flash Steps]
*Woooosh*
*Click*
*Woooosh*
*Click*
Aarav bhaagte huwe ek room se dusre room mein jata raha. Usne ek baar bhi ruk ker Yoo-Jung ko question ker ke time waste nahi kiya.
[Time Remaining: 04:50]
Caroline: [Lekin Yoo-Jung, tumhe sab ki positions ke baare mein kaise pata hai?]
Yoo-Jung: [Ek baar sab apni apni kalaiyon ki taraf daikho...!]
Yoo-Jung ki baat sun ker sab he unki kalaiyon ko daikhne lage. Un sabhi ki kalaiyon ke upar Letter likhe huwe the. Aarav ne uski kalayi ko daikha to udhar “K” likha huwa tha
Uske saath baakiyo ke bhi aise he Becky ke “R” Aur Caroline ke “B” Aur Kunle ke “P” Aur sab se last mein Yoo-Jung ki kalayi mein “Q” Likha huwa tha.
Yoo-Jung: [Ye letter chess mein notation ke liye hote hai! King ke liye K bishop ke liye B queen ke liye Q rook ke liye R aur pawn ke liye P letter hota hai...!]
Yoo-Jung ki baat sun ker un sab ko pata lag gaya ke unko konsa chess piece banaya gaya tha.
Yoo-Jung: [Lobby ke andar 2nd room ke andar ek unfinished chess game thi! White pieces ke 12 minutes aur 22 seconds remaining the same time jo hamay stage ke liye diya gaya hai. Uske according hum abhi wo he game khel rahe hai]
[Current Board Position Identified]
[White Team:
King (Corpse) → B1
Queen (Luna) → G1
Rook (Iron Wall) → E1
Bishop (Vengeance) → B2
Pawn (Protector) → H6
[Black Team:
King → H8
Knight → F6
Rook → E8
Rook → B5
Pawn → H7]
Tinkerbell: [What the fuck!? Usko sab pieces ki puri position tak yaad thi?]
Aarav: [Jaise ke main ne tum se kaha tha *Grin* Unrealistic observation skill...!]
Ab Tinkerbell ko Aarav ki baat ka matlab samajh aa raha tha. Yoo-Jung har samay shaant rehti thi per wo sab kuch daikh rahi hoti thi.
*Click*
“Huh... Corpse?”
Aarav B2 room mein gaya to udhar usko pehle se he Caroline khadi huwi dikh gayi. Uski ye position thi Aarav se next room ke andar. Lekin Aarav ne uski taraf daikha to usko Caroline ke chehre per dar dikhayi diya.
Aarav usko samajh sakta tha. Caroline ke paas sab attack skills aur abilities ranked thi aur ab usko sab se alag akele act karna tha. Aarav ne Caroline ki taraf daikhte huwe subspace pouch se uske liye ek sword nikal ker usko de di.
Aarav: Main tumhare paas he hu! Yanha nervous hone ka matlab maut ho gi... Kuch bhi ho jaye per hum sab ko apna apna role pura karna ho ga. Okay?
Aarav ne sword Caroline ke haath mein dete huwe uski aankhon mein daikhte huwe kaha. Caroline ne uski taraf daikha aur haan mein sar hila diya. Usko calm karne ke baad Aarav uski position per chala gaya.
[All pieces have taken their positions]
[The board is set]
[The unfinished game resumes]
[White’s turn begins]
[Time Remaining: 02:56]

Mohan Arora's Room
France ~ 3:31 PM
Mohan uske kamre ke andar chair per baitha huwa tha. Uski chair ke saath he rakhi ek aur chair per Ankush bhi baitha huwa tha. Mohan aur Ankush baithe coffee pee rahe the.
Lekin Mohan ki nazre Ankush usko kisi khanjar ki tatha uske upar mehsoos ho rahi thi. Uske bhi pasine chhut rahe the. Lekin wo khud ko calm dikhane ki koshish ker raha tha.
Ankush: D-Dad... Ap ne kuch kehne ke liye bulaya tha?
Ankush ne jhijhakte huwe baat ki shuruaat ki aur khud he khamosh ho ker baith gaya aur coffee cup ki taraf daikhte huwe Mohan ke kuch kehne ka intezar karne laga.
Mohan: Hmm ~ Ek he baat puchni hai, Aur kab tak?
Ankush: Aur kab tak!?
Mohan: Aur kab tak tum mujhe nirash karne wale ho? Kyu ker rahe ho tum mere saath ye sab? Aakhir kya he maanga hai main ne tum se. Ek shaktishali vaaris, Kya wo bhi nahi de sakte tum mujhe?
Ankush (Sigh): Dad... Main ap ke liye kuch bhi ker sakta hu! Lekin ye ek cheez he main nahi ker sakta... Please!
Mohan: Lekin kyu? Aakhiri baar kaaran puch raha hu! Uske baad mera nirnay sunau ga.
Mohan ki awaaz mein aur bhi kathorata aa gayi thi aur uski baat sun ker Ankush ko bhi ab lag nahi raha tha ke Mohan ab uske excuses se aur satisfy hone wala hai.
Ankush (Sigh): Huh... Kyu ke agar ap ko agar sirf ek vaaris chahiye hota to main taiyar tha! Lekin ap ko ek hathiyar chahiye hai aur uske liye ap kya kuch ker sakte ho uska mujhe ache se andaza hai...!
Ankush ne ek gehri saans le ker sab kuch Mohan se keh diya. Uske andar ka pura gubbar Ankush ne Mohan ke saamne nikal diya tha. Uski baat sun ker Mohan usko aankhe khole daikhta he reh gaya.
Usne kabhi Ankush se ye kaha to nahi tha. Lekin ye sach tha ke uske plans aise he the. Mohan sirf ek vaaris nahi ek shaktishali vaaris chahta tha aur phir usko uske liye kuch bhi kyu na pad jata wo karne ko taiyar tha.
Mohan: Lekin usmein galat kya hai? Tumhe bhi to main ne aise he taiyar kiya tha. Duniya ke saath chalne ke liye ye karna zaroori hota hai warna duniya tumh-
*Thud*
Ankush: Galat? Ismein sahi kya? Ap ke liye main har din mehnat karta tha! Lekin main class mein top karta tha to ap mujhe dusri class se ke bacho se compare karte the. School mein top karta tha to ap kisi aur school ke bache se compare karte the aur jab un sab se aage badhta tha to ap mujhe kisi aur bade genius se compare karne lagte the... Sach to ye hai ke ap kabhi satisfy hona he nahi chahate the... Comparing your kid to others, pushing them to fight everyone, and making their life hell for it?
Mohan ke baat karte huwe beech mein he Ankush ne coffee cup ko zor se table per rakhte huwe unchi awaaz mein kehna shuru ker diya. Uske chehre per uski frustration saaf dikhayi de rahi thi.
Ankush (sighs): It took me 22 years to break free from your “Everyone’s out to get you” mindset! Wo mere liye kisi torture se kam nahi tha... I felt like an empty shell…!
Mohan: *Glare*
Ankush (Smile): Lekin phir Varsha ke pyaar ne mujhe badal diya! Usne mujhe bataya ke koi mera dushman nahi hai.... No one is. I don’t have to fight them. I... I can help them instead...! Beatrice ke chehre ke dar ke saye mein doobe chehre per muskurahat la ker mujhe ehsaas huwa ke mujhe dusro se badhiya nahi better hone ki zaroorat hai... Mujhe logo ko kuchalne ki nahi bachane ki zaroorat hai...!
Ankush ke chehre per to muskurahat thi. Lekin uski muskurahat ko daikh ker Mohan bilkul bhi khush nahi tha.
Mohan (Frustrated): Ye sab ka sab dhong hai! Usko sirf ek sahare ki zaroorat thi aur usne tumhara Use kiya hai uske liye. Uski research ko fund karne ke liye uske pati ko dhokha dene ke liye uske bacho ko Arora khandan ka hissa banane ke liye... Lekin tum ho ke pagalon ki tarha uske deewane bante ja rahe ho?
Ankush: Varsha swarthi hai to wo mujhe swarthi he sveekar hai! Ap se bhi main ye he chahu ga ke ap bhi Urvi aur Suhani ko he apna parivar maan lo...!
Mohan: Unko tum apna parivar keh sakte ho! Lekin wo kabhi Arora parivar mein shamil nahi ho gye.
Ankush: *Sigh*
Mohan: Abhi tum samajh nahi rahe ho! Ye duniya lagatar badal rahi hai. Player, Monster, Qi clans aur aage kis ko pata ke kya ho ga? Un sab ke beech mein sirf Arora khandan ko ek itihas ban ker nahi rehne de sakta. Hum pehle bhi shaktishali the aur aage bhi rahe gye aur hamara naam sab ko yaad rahe ga uske liye chahe mujhe kuch bhi kyu na karna per jaye....!
Ankush: Dad, Main ap ko ek baar he vishwas karne ke liye kehta hu! Main kabhi Arora family ka naam kisi ko bhoolne nahi dunga. Hum hamare power ke liye nahi... Hamare ache karmon ke liye yaad kiye jaye gye.
Ankush aur Mohan dono he unke nirnay se hat nahi rahe the. Lekin ab Ankush thoda darne laga tha kyu ke Mohan ab khamoshi se usko daikh raha tha.
Mohan (Sigh): Ab main tumhe last chance de raha hu! Tum meri baat maan rahe ho ya nahi?
Ankush: Ap kitna bhi chahe utna intezar ker sakte hai! Lekin maaf karna, Ap ko har baar nirasha he ho gi...!
Ankush kehte huwe khada ho gaya aur jaane ke liye taiyar ho gaya. Usne Mohan ki taraf daikha to jaise usse jaane ki permission maang raha ho. Mohan ne uski taraf daikhte huwe Nod ker ke usko jaane diya.
Mohan ke ishara karte he Ankush udhar se nikal gaya. Uske baahir jaane tak Mohan usko jaate huwe daikhta raha aur Ankush ke baahir jaate he Mohan ki secretary andar aa gayi aur Mohan ke paas aa ker khadi ho gayi.

Carnival of Death
Dungeon ~ Stage 3
[Time Remaining: 02:18]
”We have a winning move here!?”
Caroline ne ek baar ache se board ke setup ko daikha to uske muh se khud he nikal aya. Uski baat sun ker Aarav bhi uske upar dhayan dene laga.
Aarav: [Winning Move?]
Caroline (Nod): [Haan... Becky E1 se black ke E8 per positioned Rook ko capture ker sakti hai...! And that puts their King in checkmate]
Aarav: [How? What’s stopping him from running?]
Caroline: [Black king ke paas kya options hai? H7 ko black ka pawn he block ker raha hai! Uske paas sirf G8 ya G7 ka he option hai. Lekin G8 aur G7 dono ko he Queen(Yoo-Jung) cover ker rahi hai to ye checkmate ho ga...!]
Aarav: [Yoo-Jung, that means the game ends here.... Right?]
Aarav ne ek baar confirm karne ke liye Yoo-Jung se pucha. Lekin Yoo-Jung ab tak bilkul khamosh khadi huwi thi. Aarav ko Caroline ki explanation theek to lag rahi thi. Lekin usko Yoo-Jung ki khamoshi khal bhi rahi thi.
Yoo-Jung: [Yes... It should]
Yoo-Jung ne bhi move ko confirm ker diya. Lekin ab Aarav ko bhi ye theek nahi lag raha tha.
Becky: [Alright, so I just move to E8, take the Black Rook, and that’s checkmate?]
Aarav: [I don't know, Lekin ye bhi carnival ki he ek stage hai...! Lekin ye stage aise ek move se end ho rahi hai? it’s too easy. Almost like it was… set up for us to take...!]
Aarav ki baat sun ker sab soch mein per gye. Unhe bhi Aarav ki baat ab sahi lag rahi thi.
Yoo-Jung: [Exactly, I don’t know.... But something about this feels wrong! Jaise hum kuch bohat he important point miss ker rahe hai]
Aarav (Nod): [Yoo-Jung, do you think we shouldn’t make the move?]
Yoo-Jung: [Lekin hamare paas aur koi safe option hai bhi kanha? If we do anything else, the rook on b6 will take out the bishop(Caroline). If we move the bishop, our king(Aarav) will be exposed]
Yoo-Jung ki baat bhi sahi thi. Unka ek galat move bhi unke teammate ki maut ka kaaran ban sakta tha. Unke paas zyada time bhi nahi bacha tha.
[Time Remaining: 01:22] Becky: [We don’t have a choice... Right? Then I’m doing it. Main Caroline ko khatre mein nahi daal sakti]
Yoo-Jung (Nod): [Alright ~]
Yoo-Jung ke saath he baaki sab ne bhi E1 se E8 ke move ko confirm ker diya.
[Move Confirmed]
[Iron Wall (Rook) → E8]
*Rumble ~*
*Crash*
*BANG*
Becky ke saamne move confirmation notification aa gye aur uske saath uske saamne ke sab room hilne shuru ho gye. Aisa lag raha tha jaise koi uske liye raasta bana raha tha. Uske saamne ki sabhi deeware ek saath toot gayi aur E8 tak uske liye direct raasta ban gaya.
Becky: [Alright ~]
*Tuck ~ Tuck*
*Thud ~ Tuck*
[Ability (Titan's Wrath) Activated]
Becky ne uski shield ko pakda aur tezi se E8 per khade huwe giant castle ki taraf bhaagne lagi aur beech mein usne ability ko active ker liya. Uski shield Mana se enchant ho gayi aur Becky ke aas-paas energy ka aura ban gaya.
“Why does a game end when it’s game over? A game should be played till the very last move…!”
Yoo-Jung ko Game Master ke kahe huwe bol ek dum se yaad aa gye aur yaad ate he uski aankhe khauf aur hairani se khul gayi. Uske haath kaanpne shuru ho gye.
Yoo-Jung: [Becky... Stop ~]
*Woooosh*
*Ka-booooom*
[Black Rook Eliminated]
[Checkmate Declared]
Becky ne giant castle ke paas ate he jump liya aur shield ko uski chhati per maar diya. Giant castle ke beech mein attack se crack ane lage aur agle he pal giant castle udhar he bikhar gaya.
Becky (Panting): [Haah... Haah... Yoo-Jung, Kuch huwa hai kya?]
Yoo-Jung: [Becky, Tumhe abhi udhar se waapis ana ho ga...!]
Caroline: [Lekin ye checkmate ho gaya na? Ab darne ki kya baa-]
[Warning! The game is not over]
[Turn Switching…]
[Black’s Turn Begins]
Becky: Huh?
Ek saath sab ke chehre ka rang udd gaya aur sab unke saamne aye notification ko hairani se daikh rahe the. Checkmate ke baad bhi game khatam nahi ho rahi thi.
[Your objective: Kill the Black Team’s King within the given time]
Unhe black ke king ko checkmate nahi karna tha usko maarna tha. Lekin unki turn ke baad ab black side ki turn aa gayi thi.
[Black Knight → E8]
[Pieces will be immobilized during the opposing team’s turn]
*Rumble ~*
*Crash*
*BANG*
Becky ki aankhon mein khauf aur badh gaya jab usne uski body ko immobilized mehsoos kiya. Wo ek jagha per freeze ho gayi thi aur ab uske saamne ek baar dobara deeware toot rahi thi aur raasta ban raha tha. Lekin ab ki baar ye uske liye nahi uski taraf ban raha tha.
*Tuck*
*Tuck*
*Tuck*
Becky ne uske saamne daikha to uske saamne se black ka knight chalte huwe aa raha tha. Becky ka pura shareer kaanpne laga uski aankhon ke saamne uski maut thi.
Caroline (Shout): Beckyyyy.... Run...!
Caroline chillane lagi. Lekin Becky ke saath abhi wo sab bhi immobilized ho gye the. Unse bhi hila nahi ja raha tha. Aarav bhi koshish ker raha tha per wo game ke andar uski strength se bhi kuch bhi nahi ker sakta tha.
Black knight becky ke bilkul saamne aa ker khada ho gaya. Usko daikh ker Becky ki dar se halat to kharab ho rahi thi. Lekin agle he pal kuch soch ker wo shaant hone lagi.
Becky: [Yoo-Jung, Ab black king ke liye hamara raasta khul gaya hai na?]
Becky ne Yoo-Jung se saval kiya to sab ruk gye aur hairani se uski baat ko sun'nne lage.
Yoo-Jung (Nod): [Haan... Ab next move mein black ke king ko maar sakte hai...!]
Becky (Smile): [I see... Ms. Caroline... Ap ek bohat achi boss thi... Mujhe maaf karna... Main ab ap ko aur Protect nahi ker saku gi...!]
Becky muskurate huwe Knight ko uski sword uthate huwe daikhne lagi.
Michael ne desk ke peeche baithe huwe uske haath ki mutthi bheench li aur desk per maar di. Michael ke chehre per gussa aur gilani dono bhav dikhayi de rahe the.
*Crack*
Michael ka desk ek high ranked wood se bana tha per usmein bhi ek crack aa gaya. Uske saamne he system window open thi aur uske andar carnival ki stream chal rahi thi.
Lekin stream ke andar ka drishya Michael se bhi daikha nahi ja raha tha. Uske saamne Becky ki sar kati laash E8 ke floor per giri huwi thi aur uske paas he black knight khada huwa tha.
Michael kuch der ke liye udhar he shaanti se baitha raha aur lambi lambi saanse lene laga. Uske baad Michael ne uske kaanpte haatho se holographic window ko haath se band ker diya.
*Beep*
Michael: Gerald. In my office... Now!!
Michael ne desk ke side per he bane ek button ko press karte huwe keh diya. Uske kuch seconds ke baad he Gerald bhaagte huwe Michael ke office ke andar aa gaya.
Gerald: You called, sir?
Gerald ne andar ate he kaha. Lekin uske andar ane per bhi Michael ne uska sar nahi uthaya aur udhar waise he baitha raha.
Michael: Contact Captain Becky’s parents! Inform them… *Hesitate* Tell them she died while performing her duty.
Michael ki request sun ker Gerald ki bhi aankhen khul gayi. Usse Michael ki baat per vishwas nahi ho raha tha. Lekin usne Michael aur desk ki halat ko daikha to uska shak khud he dur ho gaya.
Gerald (Nod): I-I’ll arrange a call...!
Gerald ne jhijhakte huwe Nod kar ke keh diya.
Michael: No... Cancel the call! I’ll tell them myself.
Gerald: Sir, is that necessary? Abhi Ms. Caroline ki absence mein association ko ap ki zyada zaroorat hai... I can deliver the message on your behalf.
Michael: Nahi, Becky ke parents ek phone call se zyada deserve karte hai! She deserved better. Make the arrangements... I want to meet them ASAP. Personally...!
Gerald: Understood. I’ll set the schedule!
Gerald kehte huwe udhar se chala gaya. Uske jaane ke baad Michael kuch der udhar he shaanti se baitha raha. Usne khud ko calm kiya aur dobara se stream ko start ker diya aur aage daikhne laga.
Michael (Stunned): Caroline? Come on… not another one! Please.... Please... Ab main kisi aur ko marte nahi daikhna chahata.

Carnival of Death
Dungeon ~ Stage 3
[Time Remaining: 57 Seconds]
*Gasping*
“Caroline... Caroline... Move... Caroline...”
*Gasping*
“Haah... Haah... Beck.... Haah... Y.... Haah”
Ab white team ki turn thi to ab sab players dobara move ker sakte the. Lekin uske baad Caroline ab tak Becky ki maut ke shock se ubhar nahi saki thi aur uski jagha per freeze ho gayi thi.
Uske peeche usko sab bula rahe the. Lekin wo kisi ki bhi awaaz per react ya reply nahi ker rahi thi aur lambi lambi saanse bharte huwe udhar he khadi rahi.
Tinkerbell: [Ab hum kya kare? Jeetne ke liye isko aage badhna ho ga...!]
Ab kyu ke Black knight F6 se hat gaya tha to white bishop (Caroline) B2 ke liye Black king H8 tak ka raasta ban gaya tha. Lekin uske baad ab Caroline bilkul shocked ho ker sochne samajhne ki bhi kshamta kuch pal ke liye kho chuki thi.
Aarav (Sigh): [Huh, Merlin... Mujhe shuruaat se he usse achhi feeling nahi aa rahi thi...! Usne hamare saamne sab hints rakh diye the. Kyu ke yanha hamare paas aur koi raasta nahi tha...!]
Aarav ki team ko jeetne ke liye kam se kam unka ek teammate sacrifice karna he tha. Ye agar ek simple chess hoti to wo sab survive ker sakte the. Lekin abhi unka objective king ko maarna tha usko sirf checkmate karna nahi tha.
So, Becky had to die for the win. There was no other way.
Aarav: [Merlin last dono game masters se zyada dangerous hai! Lekin uski shaktiyon ke kaaran nahi uske calm aur sly nature ke kaaran. Merlin chahata to ek difficult game de sakta tha... Lekin usne hamay jeet ki umeed de ker todne ka nirnay liya]
Tinkerbell: [Lekin kaise?]
Aarav: [Assigned roles daikhe hai tum ne? Merlin ne last dono stages se Becky aur Caroline ki ek dusre ke prati loyalty aur respect ko daikhne ke baad he unhe ye position di hai... Janha ek ki maut ke baad dusri ko move karna tha]
Game master ne carnival ki shuraat se he uske sab target ko select karna shuru ker diya tha. Previous stages ke game masters ki tarha wo uski authority ke nashe mein andha nahi huwa tha aur uske brain ka use ker raha tha.
Aarav: [I have to admit, that was a clever move! Ab Caroline ek battle type nahi hai to uske liye king ko ek strike mein khatam karna possible nahi ho ga aur Becky ki death se usko kuch seconds mil gye hai Caroline ke shock ke kaaran aur ye hamare liye ant bhi ho sakta hai aur hum kuch ker bhi nahi sakte the]
Yoo-Jung: [Aarav...! Ab kya karne wale ho tum?]
Aarav abhi Tinkerbell se baat ker he raha tha ke usko Yoo-Jung ki awaaz sunayi di. Yoo-Jung Aarav se kuch karne ke liye nahi keh rahi thi. Usko already pura vishwas tha ke Aarav kuch ker raha hai.
Aarav (Sigh): [Main tumhari aur Aakash ki tarha ek born genius nahi hu... Lekin uska ye matlab nahi ke main kuch bhi nahi karne wala...! *Smile* Lekin ek cheez mere paas hai to wo hai meri Instinct aur meri overpowered prowess...!]
Aarav: [Ye he ke mujhe yanha kisi per bhi bharosa nahi karna chahiye aur khud kadam uthaane chahiye hai!.... Aur main ne wo uthaye bhi hai]
[Unique Ability (Soul Binding) Activated]
[You have successfully bound Caroline's soul]
[The target is weaker than you]
[You can now control her actions and move her as you wish]
Caroline: Ughhhh ~
Caroline ka ek haath achanak he khud se uske paas rakhi sword per chala gaya aur usne sword ko utha liya. Uske saath he Caroline bhi hosh mein aa gayi. Lekin khud ki body ko yun move karte daikh wo hairaan ho gayi.
Tinkerbell: [Huh, Ye tum ne kab kiy- Wait... Sword dete huwe tum ye ker rahe the kya?]
Tinkerbell ne jaise he ye ehsaas huwa wo khud he hairaan ho gayi. Aarav ne Caroline ko sword dete huwe uski soul ko bind ker diya tha. Kyu ke Aarav per Caroline ko vishwas tha to usne Aarav ko unintentionally he ye karne de diya tha.
[Time Remaining: 26 Seconds]
[Move Confirmed]
[Vengeance (Bishop) → H8]
*Rumble ~*
*Crash*
*BANG*
Caroline ke saamne bhi ek raasta seedhe black king tak ban gaya. Usko ab uske saamne dusri taraf H8 per Black King baitha dikhayi de raha tha aur uske peechd next stage ka locked portal dikhayi de raha tha.
Aarav: [Ye tumhare liye thoda mushkil ho ga! Lekin mere paas wale room hone ke kaaran main ye ker sakta hu... Lekin tumhe thoda bardasht karna ho ga]
Aarav ne Caroline se kaha to Caroline bhi hairan ho ker sochne lagi ke Aarav kya kehna chahata hai?
[Flash Steps]
Caroline: Huh? Aghhhhh...!
Caroline ki body thodi neeche huwe aur uske kadam khud he aage badh gye aur agle he pal wo havaon ke cheedte huwe bhaag rahi thi. Ye Aarav ki speed ke paas bhi nahi thi. Lekin Caroline ke jaise ek non-battle type player ke liye ye bhi bohat badi baat thi.
[Deathly Slash]
*Slashhh*
Black King ke paas pohanchte he Caroline ke haath ne khud sword uthayi aur king ko beech se kaatate huwe aage nikal gayi.
[Black King Eliminated]
[Stage Cleared!]
[Stage: Human Chess]
[Time Remaining: 13 seconds]
[White Team Victory!]
[The Black Team's King has been killed]
[The game has ended]
*Rumble ~*
*Crash*
*BANG*
*Bam*
*Ka-booooom*
Aarav (Shout): Lunaaaa ~
Stage ke clear hote he sab rooms ke beech ki sab deeware toot gayi. Ab sab pieces ek white room ke andar the. Aarav ne chillate huwe Yoo-Jung ka naam liya to sab uski taraf daikhne lage.
Yoo-Jung udhar already uske bow ko uthaya huwe arrow rakhe taiyar khadi huwi thi. Aarav ke kehte he usne ek ke baad ek arrow shoot karna shuru ker diya aur usne udhar black team ke baaki remaining pieces ko bhi maar diya.
Yoo-Jung: Let's Go ~
Yoo-Jung ke kehte he sab next stage ke portal ki taraf bhaagne lage aur seedhe portal ke andar chale gye.
[Stage Cleared!]
[You’ve made it through. Prepare for the next stage]
[Teleporting your team to Stage 4's Lobby...]
[Remaining players: 4]
.
.
.
.
.

.
. [Aj ke liye itna he. Ye Update 5K words ka tha aur iske saath he 3rd stage bhi puri hoti hai aur ab baari hai final stage ki. Umeed karta hu ke ap ko ye update bhi pasand aya ho ga aur pasand aya hai to like karo, Target hamara ab bhi wohi hai 130 likes ke liye. Ab milte hai agle update per aur tab tak ke liye, Sayonara!!!]
Aarav aur uski team portal se nikalte huwe seedhe Stage 4 ki lobby mein aa gayi. Stage 4 ke beech mein kisi tarha ke bhi floors nahi the aur stage 3 se lobby per direct portal tha.
*Thud*
Portal se baahir ate he Caroline uske ghutnon per gir gayi. Uske girte he Yoo-Jung uske paas chale gayi aur usko sahara dene lagi. Caroline ek combat type ki player nahi thi. Lekin Aarav ne phir bhi uski body ko khud control karte huwe king ko slay kiya tha to ab uska shareer ab uski limit per tha.
Yoo-Jung: are you okay?
Yoo-Jung ne thodi jhukte huwe Caroline ko daikh ker pucha. Lekin Caroline sar jhukaye uske haatho ko bheench ker baithi huwi thi. Yoo-Jung ne dhayan se daikha to usko Caroline ki aankhon se aansu bahte huwe dikhayi diye.
Uski ye halat daikhte he Yoo-Jung ne aage badh ker usko banhon mein bhar liya. Caroline Yoo-Jung ki bahon mein dubak ker rone lagi. Yoo-Jung uske dard ko samajh sakti thi.
Un sab ke liye to Becky sirf ek teammate he thi per Caroline ki Becky se zyada attachment thi. Becky ke C.O.D mein ane ka kaaran Caroline ko protect karna he tha aur ab Caroline ko lag raha tha ke ye sab uski galti thi.
Aarav aur Kunle unki jagha per khamoshi se khade rahe aur Yoo-Jung ne bhi usko dil khol ker roo lene diya. Unhe bhi ehsaas tha ke unke kisi shabdon se Caroline ka dukh khatam nahi hone wala tha.
Lekin wo sab uske paas khade rahe ke usko akela mehsoos na ho. Unke paas hone se Caroline bhi utna lonely mehsoos nahi ker rahi thi. Lekin uske baad bhi uske dil ke andar ek tees si uth rahi thi.
*Clap ~ Clap ~ Clap*
“So, you’re the first ones out?”
Yoo-Jung baithi Caroline ko comfort ker he rahi thi ke unke paas taliyon ki awaaz ane lagi. Taliyon ki awaaz sun ker sab ne upar ki taraf daikha to unke upar he Merlin(Game Master) baitha huwa tha.
*Thud*
*Shing*
Merlin upar se kudte huwe neeche utar aya. Lekin uske neeche ate he Kunle ne uski shield ko utha liya aur wo ab apna guard down karne ke liye bilkul bhi taiyar nahi tha.
Merlin: Ohh, Lagta hai game zyada pasand nahi ayi tumhe! Itni strong killing instinct? *Grin* Not bad… but it's nowhere near enough to shake me.
Merlin ne udhar uske saamne baithi huwi Caroline ki taraf daikhte huwe kaha aur halka muskurane laga. Aarav ne Caroline ki taraf daikha to Caroline uski iron sword per grip banaye Merlin ko faad ker dene wali nazron se daikhte huwe khadi hone lagi.
Aarav: [Caroline, don't move!]
*Shing*
*Thud*
*Thud*
*Thud*
Caroline (Scream): Hahhhh!
Aarav ne Caroline ko khadi hote huwe daikha to usne usko udhar he shaant ho ker rukne ke liye kaha. Lekin Caroline ne uski baat suni bhi nahi aur sword per strong grip bana ker Merlin ki taraf bhaagne lagi.
Lekin Caroline ko apni taraf bhaagte ati huwi daikh ker bhi Merlin uski jagha per shaanti se khada huwa tha. Caroline abhi Merlin ke paas pohanchne he wali thi ke uske shareer se uska control khatam ho gaya aur wo udhar he freeze ho gayi.
Usko udhar ruke daikh sab ne peeche daikha to Aarav chamakti aankhon ke saath Caroline ko he daikh raha tha.
Aarav (Glare): I said don’t move!
Aarav ne abhi bhi Caroline ki soul ko unbind nahi kiya tha. Ye he kaaran tha ke Aarav ne zyada react nahi kiya tha. Lekin Aarav ki aankhon mein daikhte he Caroline ki bhi halat bigad gayi.
Aarav: He’s just trying to provoke you!
Aarav ko Merlin ka sajish samajh aa rahi thi. Usne shuru se Caroline ko target kiya tha aur usko bhi ab pata tha ke Caroline team ki kazmor kari hai. Becky ko beech mein la ker wo usko provoke ker raha tha aur wo ho bhi rahi thi.
Lekin Aarav sirf Caroline ke emotions ke liye usko puri team ko he khatre mein nahi daalne de sakta tha. Kyu ke Caroline ke attack karte he rule ki violation hone wali thi aur wo sab eliminate hone wale the.
Merlin (Sigh): Huh, Laga he tha ke tum per ek trick 2 baar kaam nahi kare gi! Lekin uske baad bhi tum sab se jaisa entertainment chahiye tha wo to mil he gaya hai.
Aarav uski baat ka matlab samajh raha tha. Ab tak uski team se ek bhi nahi mara tha. Deathwatchers ke liye ye unki haar ke jaisa tha. Lekin ab jab Aarav ek baar haar chuka tha to unhe aisa lag raha tha ke Aarav bhi unke liye dusre kamzor players ki tarha he ek player hai.
“Two teams are still inside”
Aarav ko uske peeche se Yoo-Jung ki awaaz sunayi di. Usne peeche daikha to unke peeche 2 portal aur bane huwe the aur dono glow ker rahe the. Unko daikhte he Aarav bhi samajh gaya ke old man aur Eren ki team abhi bhi andar thi.
Aarav (Exhale): Unka kuch der yanhi per wait karte hai... Vengeance?
Aarav ne Caroline ki taraf daikhte huwe kaha. Jaise wo puch raha ho ke kya wo ab uske upar trust ker sakta hai kya? Aarav ke puchne per Caroline ne bhi daant peesate huwe haath ki mutthi bheenchte huwe haan mein sar hila diya.
Aarav: Good...!
Aarav ne usko dobara chhod diya. Lekin uski soul ko unbind nahi kiya aur khud udhar he baith gaya aur rest karne laga. Uske baad Caroline ne ek baar Merlin ki taraf daikha to haath hilate huwe usko bye bye keh raha tha.
Usko daikh ker Caroline ko gussa to bohat zyada aya. Lekin usne khud ko shaant kiya aur muh pher ker wo bhi udhar he baith gayi aur wo sab dusri teams ka intezar karne lage.

Pavanpur Village
India ~ 7:25 AM
*Yawn*
“Yaar kya subha subha he itni mehnat wale kaam mein laga dete hai Shahab ji?”
Ramesh aur Sukhdev gaon ke paas wale jungle ki taraf badh rahe the. Un dono unke kandhon per kulhadiya uthayi huwi thi saath ek jhola pehna huwa tha aur uske andar katayi ka he kuch saman rakha huwa tha.
Ramesh: Ab karna to ho ga he na hamay! Ye jungle wala raasta kitne dino se band ho gaya hai pedon ke beech mein ane se... Ab jungle se sab ke jaane ke liye raasta to banana he ho ga warna shahab ji ka kitna nuksan ho jaye ga andaza bhi hai kya?
Ramesh ne chalte huwe Sukhdev se kaha aur dono unke saamne jungle ko daikhne lage. Unke aage pedon ki tahaniyon ka jaal bana huwa tha aur raasta bhi bohat tang ho gaya huwa tha udhar se khaali haath nikalna bhi mushkil ho raha tha.
Sukhdev: Lekin ye jungle ko ho kya gaya hai? Abhi hafta pehle tak to sab theek tha main khud yanha se ho ker gaya tha. Lekin ab to jaise ped paudhe pagalon ki tarha badhte he ja rahe hai aur to aur kheton mein bhi aisa he ho raha hai.
Ramesh: Haan ye to main ne bhi suna hai! Makkai aur gehu ke kheton mein itni hariyali ho gayi hai ki rasta bhi dikhna band ho gaya hai. Kal Ram Kaka bata rahe the ki aisa pehli baar ho raha hai… bole ke ye koi devi-kripa hai.
Sukhdev (Sigh): Devi-kripa ho ya kuch aur, hume toh bas apna kaam karna hai! Aj ka kaam jaldi se khatam karte hai aur nikalte hai.
Ramesh (Nod): Haan...!
Ramesh aur Sukhdev ne baate band ki aur jungle aur bhi bhitar jaane lage. Unhe daikhna tha ke ye raasta kanha tak aise he band hai aur uske baad kaam shuru karna tha. Lekin jitna wo andar ja rahe the utna he unhe ajeeb lag raha tha.
Unke paas ki havayen unhe aur bhi taza lag rahi thi aur unhen khushbu aa rahi thi jaise baarish ke baad mitti se ati thi. Unke paas ke ped phool paudhe sab bade ho rahe the aur unke patte chamak rahe the.
Ramesh: Huh? Ye kon hai?
Jungle mein thoda aur andar jaane ke baad unhe paas he ek khula maidan dikhayi diya. Uske beech mein ek bada ped tha aur uske neeche koi aadami baitha huwa tha. Lekin uske paas he jungle ke bohat se janvar bhi shaanti se baithe huwe the.
Sukhdev: Ye jungle ke itna andar kon aise janvaron ke beech baitha ho sakta hai?... Y-Ye kanhi kisi tarha ka tapasvi to nahi kya?
Ramesh (Gulp): Ye to mujhe bhi pata nahi ke ye kon hai! Lekin ye koi sadharan manushya to nahi lag raha mujhe... Ye sab badalav bhi shayad iske he kaaran ho rahe hai. Daikh kaise sab janvar uske paas baithe huwe hai aur mujhe to uske andar se mayavi shaktiyan bhi mehsoos ho rahi hai.
Ramesh sk sadharan insaan tha. Lekin uske baad bhi wo strong aura ko feel ker raha tha. Uski aur Sukhdev ki dar se halat kharab hone lagi aur dono ek dusre ki taraf daikhne lage.
Lekin unse dur baithe aadami ko bhi unke udhar hone ka ehsaas ho gaya tha.
“Great, Yanha per bhi uninvited guest aa gye...!”
Ek awaaz sunte he aadami ne bhi uski aankhe khol li aur apne paas ek ped ki taraf daikhne laga. Usko udhar ped ke neeche ek ladki khadi huwi dikhayi di.
Ladki (Sigh): Rahul, Ye already teesra gaon hai! Ab aur kitne gaon badalne ho gye?
Ped ke neeche baitha wo aadami Rahul he tha aur uske paas khadi huwi ladki Sophia thi Nature clan se. Aarav ne Sophia ko Rahul ke paas bheja tha Rahul ke andar nature qi core ko develop karwane ke liye.
Jaise ke Aarav ne usko kaha tha Sophia ko Rahul ke andar bohat potential dikhayi di. Rahul bina core ke he nature energy ko use ker sakta tha. Ye daikh ker Sophia bhi hairaan thi.
Rahul energy ko use to ker sakta tha per uske paas wo nature energy store karne ke liye uska core nahi tha. Uski body he uske liye temporary core ki tarha kaam kar rahi thi. Lekin usko uski nature energy ko immediately release karna padta tha.
Aarav ke kehne per Sophia uske andar core banane mein madad karne lagi thi. Lekin Rahul ki direct aur pure nature energy se uske paas ke area per bhi affect hota tha aur udhar nature bhi pure ho jata tha.
Jaise havaon aur pani ka aur pure ho jana aur ped paudhon ka tezi se aur zyada badhna. Ye he kaaran tha ke unhe Rahul ke nature qi ki cultivation ke liye kisi jungle area mein ana padta tha.
Lekin jungle ki growth se bhi logo ko unka pata lag jata tha aur paas ke log unhen devi devata kehne lag jate the. Uske baad unhe udhar se gayab hona padta tha aur ab wo teesre gaon ke jungle mein aye huwe the.
Rahul (Sigh): Ab main kya ker sakta hu? Sage level ke breakthrough ke liye mujhe bohat zyada energy collect karni per rahi hai.
Sophia: Uske liye ab tum wait bhi to kar he sakte ho na? Already tumhara sirf kuch dinon mein he master level per ana bohat chaunka dene wali baat hai... Lekin again, Tum Aarav ke student ho aur usko bhi journeyman Level per ane mein sirf kuch he din lage the. Ughhhh, Jaisa master hai waisa he usko apprentice bhi mila hai...!
Aarav ko Sophia ko Rahul ke paas bheje kuch din he huwe the. Lekin usne kuch dinon mein he uske core ko journeyman level tak le gaya tha. Rahul ka nature energy ko cultivate karne ka tarika Sophia aur baaki Qi clan se alag tha.
Rahul direct source se uski energy ko kheench raha tha aur usko apna bana raha tha. Journeyman level per uski qi energy Sophia ki nature energy se heavy mehsoos ho rahi thi.
Rahul: Lekin ye kaafi nahi hai!!
Sophia: Huh!?
Rahul: Master bohat aage nikal chuke hai! Aur unke strong hone ke saath ab unke dushman bhi strong players he hai... Agar hamay unke saath ladna hai to hamay strong hona ho ga... Abhi jitne hai usse bohat zyada strong hona ho ga. Uske baad he main Master aur Shadow per ek bojh nahi unka ek sahara ban sakta hu...!
Rahul ko ab tak uski last fight yaad thi. Uske zinda hone ka kaaran uska luck aur Kunal ka sahi samay per ana he tha. Lekin usko bhi pata tha ke uske aage ke opponents ab aur bhi strong hone wale hai aur uske liye usko bhi strong hona ho ga.
Sophia: Lekin tum jaldi level up karne ke chakkar mein basics ko neglect nahi ker sakte ho! Basic he perfect nahi ho gye to tumhari energy ek bomb se zyada aur kuch bhi nahi hai.
Sophia ki baat bhi uski jagha sahi thi. Strength ek proper technique ke bina andar se khokhali he hoti hai. Ab tak Rahul ne uski zyada techniques ko seekhne ki koshish he nahi ki thi.
*CRACK*
“Dhayan se chal... Usko hamare yanha hone ka pata lag jaye ga...!”
Ramesh aur Sukhdev ab chalte huwe unke kareeb aa chuke the. Lekin unke beech distance abhi bhi thi per Rahul aur Sophia ko unki awaaz dur se bhi saaf sunayi de rahi thi.
Sophia: Ab hamara aur yanha rukna sahi nahi ho ga...! Main ne tumhe wild phantom technique di thi practice karne ke liye. Usko samjhe ya nahi?
Rahul (Nod): Haan...!
Sophia (Smile): Good, Ab test kar le kya?
Rahul: *Nod*
Rahul thoda peeche ho ker seedha khada ho gaya aur Sophia usko daikhne lagi. Rahul uski aankhon ke saamne he tha ke achanak uski presence fade hone lagi aur agle he pal Rahul uske saamne hote huwe bhi uske saamne nahi tha.
Sophia: Master aur Apprentice sach mein monster hai! Ye seekhne mein mujhe 3 saal lage the.
Uske saath he Sophia bhi wild phantom technique use karte huwe udhar se gayab ho gayi. Udhar unko dhundhte huwe Ramesh aur Sukhdev udhar aye to saamne kisi ko na daikh ker dono ki aankhen hairani se khul gayi.
Sukhdev (Stunned): B-Bhai... Main keh raha tha ke ye koi bada khatarnak tapasvi hai! Bhaag le yanha se warna bhasm ho jaye gye hum dono...
Sukhdev kehte huwe udhar se bhaagne laga aur uske peeche he Ramesh bhi bhaagte huwe waapis gaon ki taraf jaane laga.

Carnival of Death
Dungeon ~ Stage 3 Lobby
*Zzzgggg*
*Thud*
*Thud*
*Cough-Cough*
[Current Players in Lobby: 6]
Aarav aur uski team baithi huwi intezar ker he rahi thi ke dono mein se ek portal activate huwa aur uske andar se Mira aur Daryl baahir nikalte huwe gir gye aur dono ne uthne ki koshish bhi nahi ki aur udhar he unka muh chupaye gire rahe aur unke rote ki siskiyan Aarav ko dur se sunayi de rahi thi.
*Zzzgggg*
Unke baahir ate saath he unke peeche ko dono ke dono portals close ho gye. Ye daikhte he Aarav ko andaza ho gaya ke Old man ki team aur Eren mar chuke the.
Yoo-Jung: Mira...!
Ab ki baar bhi Yoo-Jung he uth ker unke paas gayi aur usne Mira ko pakadte huwe utha diya. Lekin usne Mira ki halat daikhi to wo bhi Caroline ki he tarha ki halat mein thi.
Caroline: Eren... Eren... *Sniff* He's gone...!
Yoo-Jung: I know... I know!
Yoo-Jung ne uske kandhon per haath rakhte huwe kaha aur Mira uske saath lag ker phoot phoot ker rone lagi. Yoo-Jung bhi usko comfort karne lagi aur dusri taraf Daryl bhi haare huwe khiladi ki tarha baitha huwa tha.
Daryl (Furious): Lekin kaise? Ye kaise ho sakta hai? Queen D7 se E8 ke baad checkmate hona chahiye tha lekin kaise? Kaise F3 ke knight ne D4 ke bishop ko maar diya?... Y-Ye sab tumhari galti hai...!
Daryl kehte huwe Merlin ki taraf badhne laga to ab ki baar Kunle ne aage badh ker usko rok diya. Lekin Daryl usko udhar he dafan ker dena chahata tha.
Merlin: Well... Well... Well... What do we have here? 2 teams... Lekin next stage per to sirf ek he team ja sakti hai to ab kya karo gye? Ek team ko maar kar aage badhoge ya dusri team ke saath haath mila kar ek team banaoge?
Merlin ne uski ungaliyan hilate huwe mysterious tone mein kaha aur sab ki taraf daikhne laga. Dusri team ke saath teamup karne ka matlab tha ke reward bhi un sab ke saath split hone wala tha. Ek baar dobara Merlin uski cheap games khel raha tha.
Aarav: Hum dono tarha se taiyar hai! Mira aur Daryl hamare saath ana chahe to aa sakte hai aur agar tum dono ladna chahate ho to... Hum tumhe maar kar aage badhne ke liye bhi taiyar hai.
Aarav ne uski sword per haath rakhte huwe kaha to dono ne fauran haan mein sar hila diya aur teamup ke liye taiyar ho gye.
Tinkerbell: [Master... Seriously? Ap Dead weight kyu carry karna chahate ho?]
Aarav (Sigh): [Huh, Main unhe saath zaroor ane de raha hu! But it's not like ke mujhe unhe protect bhi karna ho ga, aur waise bhi hamay next stage mein bhi shayad meat shield ki zaroorat per sakti hai. Mushkil samay mein hamay sacrifice karne ke liye ye dead weights he chahiye hai]
Aarav ki baat sun ker Tinkerbell bhi uski planning ko samajh gayi. Lekin ye bhi galat nahi tha ke Aarav unko bina kisi reason ke yanha chhodna bhi nahi chahata tha to uski intentions puri tarha se galat nahi thi aur puri tarha se sahi bhi nahi thi.
Yoo-Jung: Queen D7 aur Bishop D4... Kya king G2 per tha?
Abhi sab ka dhayan Aarav aur Merlin ki taraf tha aur udhar Yoo-Jung calculations ker rahi thi. Uske saval ker sun ker Mira ne ek baar uski taraf daikha aur phir haan mein sar hila diya.
Yoo-Jung: Aur tum logo ke paas 17 minute aur 23 second ka samay tha?
Mira: *Nod*
[Board Position]
[White Pieces:
King on g2
Queen on e7
Bishop on c4]
[Black Pieces:
King on g8
Rook on f8
Knight on e5
Pawn on h7
Pawn on a3]
Aarav: [Yoo-Jung, Ye sab kya puch rahi ho?]
Aarav ne saval kiya per Yoo-Jung baithi kuch sochti rahi. Aarav ne bhi usko sochane diya aur khada ho ker usko daikhta raha aur kuch der baad Yoo-Jung ne sar uthaya aur Merlin ki taraf daikhne lagi.
Yoo-Jung: Tumhara naam Merlin nahi hai...!
Yoo-Jung ka saval sunte he Merlin bhi usko chaunk ker daikhne laga.
Merlin: Aur tum ye kaise keh sakti ho?
Yoo-Jung: Kyu ke tumhara naam **** hai...!
[Warning: Revealing the Game Master’s name is strictly prohibited]
[Trying again will result in immediate elimination]
Yoo-Jung ne jaise he naam liya uski awaaz ek pal ke liye mute ho gayi aur kisi ko bhi naam sunayi nahi diya. Lekin udhar Merlin ki aankhe hairat se khul gayi aur idhar Yoo-Jung ki muskurahat aur bhi gehri ho gayi.
Yoo-Jung: Revealing the Game Master’s name is strictly prohibited *Grin* Iska matlab mera liya huwa naam sahi tha?
Merlin (Annoyed): Tch ~
[You have received a sponsorship!]
[▶ Player: Luna
Sponsor: Red Rose
Reason: For displaying exceptional intelligence and figuring out the Game Master’s identity.
Reward: +300 Dungeon Points]
Yoo-Jung ne uska naam sahi guess ker liya tha aur ye pata lagne ke baad Merlin ka shareer pehli baar gusse se kaanpta dikhayi de raha tha. Lekin jaise Yoo-Jung usko kuch nahi kar sakti thi waise he wo bhi Yoo-Jung kuch nahi kar sakta tha.
Caroline: [Kya naam hai iska?]
Yoo-Jung ko uske paas baithi Caroline ki awaaz uske mann mein sunayi di. Usne Caroline ki taraf daikha to wo Merlin ko aise daikh rahi thi jaise wo abhi uska khoon pee jaye gi.
Yoo-Jung: [Mujhe nahi lagta ke game master ka naam kisi ko telepathically bhi bata sakti hu! Aur dobara try karna mere liye maut ka kaaran ban sakti hai]
Caroline uski baat samajh sakti thi aur phir wo bhi khamosh ho gayi.
Kunle: [Lekin tum ne uska naam guess kaise kiya?]
Yoo-Jung (Smile): [Main bada hint to nahi de sakti hu! Lekin ye chess board ki positions random nahi thi. They were the exact unfinished games of a real chess player]
Kunle: [Chess player?]
Yoo-Jung (Nod): [Haan, Lekin ek normal chess player ki games nahi! Ye ek Grand Master ki unfinished games thi aur meri archery classes mein iske baare mein baate hoti thi to ye kuch games mujhe bhi yaad thi]
Kunle (Stunned): [Are you serious? Kitne saal ho gye uss baat ko?]
Yoo-Jung: [13-14 Years]
Kunle: [Aur tumhe ab bhi wo 1-2 baar huwi baaton se puri game yaad hai?]
Yoo-Jung (Nod): [Haan]
Yoo-Jung ke javab per Kunle bhi speechless reh gaya. Lekin un sab ke beech mein Aarav khamoshi se khada sab kuch sun raha tha.
Aarav: Luna... Tumhe game master ku identity puri tarha se pata hai ya sirf naam pata hai?
Aarav ke saval per sab uski taraf daikhne lage. Usne ye saval telepathically nahi merlin ki aankhon mein aankhen daalte huwe pucha tha.
Yoo-Jung (Nod): Haan...!
Aarav (Smirk): Great...!
[Your murderous intent is radiating outward]
*Woooosh*
*Gasping*
Aarav ne uske saamne Merlin ki taraf daikhte huwe uski murderous intent ko release kiya to Merlin fauran he uchalte huwe peeche ho gaya. Usne haath Aarav ko block karne ke liye utha liye aur Aarav ki murderous intent se uske sabhi mental strength ko badhane wale barrier toot gye aur uska shareer dar se kaanpne laga.
Aarav (Grin): Oh? Now that’s a reaction! Guess I’m finally close to making you sweat, huh?
Aarav ne Merlin ki taraf daikhte huwe muskurate huwe kaha to Merlin ke muh se awaaz tak nahi nikli.
Aarav: Ab tumhe janha bhaagna hai bhaag sakte ho! Lekin yaad rakhna... Hum mein se ek bhi baahir aya to tumhari maut pakki hai...!
Aarav seedhe seedhe Game Master ko dhamka raha tha.
[You have received a sponsorship!]
[▶ Player: Corpse
Sponsor: Big Billy
Reason: For his boldness in challenging the Game Master without fear.

Aarav ne seedhe Merlin ko dhamki de di aur wo sunte he Deathwatchers Aarav ko sponsor karne lage aur udhar Merlin ki gaand phat chuki thi aur wo sirf Aarav ko daikhta he reh gaya.
Aarav: We’re done with this stage! Let’s move on.
Aarav ne uski team se kaha aur unke saath aage badh gaya. Uske peeche se Merlin bhi kab gayab huwa kisi ko pata nahi laga. Aarav uski team ke saath kuch der yun he aage badhta raha aur usko next stage ka portal dikh gaya.
Aarav: [Finally, Fourth aur last stage...!]
Aarav ne uske saamne open portal ki taraf daikhte huwe kaha. Ye unki last stage thi. Carnival se baahir ye 1 week he tha. Lekin unke liye yanha per ye 1 saal ke barabar tha.
Aarav: Let's go...!
Aarav ne kaha aur aage badh ker portal ke andar chala gaya aur baaki sab bhi uske saath he Portal ke andar next stage per chale gye.
[Stage 4: Portal Unlocked]
[Teleporting to the next stage…]

AkaiShiro Corporation
Tokyo ~ 8:29 AM
[The Carnival of Death live stream has ended]
*Stream Ended*
Aakash ke saamne open window per notification aya aur uske saath he window close ho gayi.
Renjiro: Master, Live stream viewers sirf stage 3 tak carnival ko daikh sakte hai! Stage 4 sirf Deathwatchers ke liye hai. Lekin wo carnival ka result hamay bata de gye.
*Sip*
Aakash udhar kursi per baitha uski coffee pee raha tha. Usne kuch dinon se theek se khana bhi nahi khaya tha.
Aakash: Renjiro... Tumhe pata hai wo fourth stage sirf Deathwatchers ko kyu dikhate hai?
Aakash ne coffee cup ki taraf daikhte huwe Renjiro se saval kiya to Renjiro bhi uski taraf daikhne laga.
Renjiro: Kyu master?
Aakash: Kyu ke carnival unki weakness sab ko nahi dikha sakte...!
Renjiro: Carnival ki weakness?
Carnival ki aisi koi khaas weakness bhi hai ye sun ker Renjiro bhi hairaan ho gaya.
Aakash (Nod): Haan, Unki weakness mein se unki ek weakness fourth stage bhi hai! Carnival ke paas fourth stage per puri authority nahi hoti.
Renjiro: What? Lekin carnival ke paas unki he stage mein authority kyu nahi ho gi?
Aakash: I don't know, Lekin fourth stage carnival ke liye bhi surprise hoti hai! Team ke according unke liye world chunna jata hai aur unhe quest di jati hai...!
Ye khabar Renjiro ke liye bhi nayi thi. Fourth stage carnival ki he part to thi. Lekin at the same time he wo carnival se alag bhi thi. Dungeon Master ke paas bhi world aur quest select karne ki authority nahi thi.
Renjiro: Hmm ~ Lekin mujhe ek baat samajh nahi aa rahi, Master! I'm sure ke ye information bohat he top secret information ho gi aur ye to shayad kisi deathwatcher ko bhi nahi batayi gayi ho gi... Lekin ap ko ye information kaise mil gayi?
*Sip*
Renjiro ne uska saval kiya to Aakash ne coffee ka ek ghoont bhar liya aur wo Renjiro ki taraf muskurate huwe daikhne laga.
Aakash: Kyu ke mera bhai udhar carnival ke andar hai! Aur uska bhai usko bachane ke liye kuch bhi ker sakta hai aur... Kisi bhi tarha ki information pata laga sakta hai...!
Aakash ki baat sun ker Renjiro ne nod karte huwe bow ker diya. Aakash kursi se uth gaya aur baahir ki taraf chal diya. Lekin chalte huwe Aakash ruka aur halka head side ki taraf turn karte huwe side eye se Renjiro ko daikhne laga.
Aakash: Result batane ke liye bulane ki zaroorat nahi hai! Aarav laut kar zaroor aye ga. Kyu ke agar wo na aya to carnival se kabhi koi khabar bhi nahi aye gi...!
Renjiro: Yes master...!
Aakash ki baat sun ker Renjiro ne kaha aur Aakash dobara aage badhate huwe office se baahir nikal gaya. AkaiShiro Corporation kuch dinon se band ker di gayi thi to baahir office abhi khaali tha aur udhar ek bhi insaan nahi tha.

[Aj ke liye itna he. Ye update 4.5K words ka tha aur ye thoda late huwa hai kyu ke kuch time he aisa chal raha tha. Lekin umeed karta hu ke ap ko ye update bhi pasand aya ho ga. Target hamara wohi hai 130 likes ke liye. Ab milte hai agle update per aur tab tak ke liye, Sayonara!!!]
Aarav aur uski team portal se nikalte huwe seedhe Stage 4 ki lobby mein aa gayi. Stage 4 ke beech mein kisi tarha ke bhi floors nahi the aur stage 3 se lobby per direct portal tha.
*Thud*
Portal se baahir ate he Caroline uske ghutnon per gir gayi. Uske girte he Yoo-Jung uske paas chale gayi aur usko sahara dene lagi. Caroline ek combat type ki player nahi thi. Lekin Aarav ne phir bhi uski body ko khud control karte huwe king ko slay kiya tha to ab uska shareer ab uski limit per tha.
Yoo-Jung: are you okay?
Yoo-Jung ne thodi jhukte huwe Caroline ko daikh ker pucha. Lekin Caroline sar jhukaye uske haatho ko bheench ker baithi huwi thi. Yoo-Jung ne dhayan se daikha to usko Caroline ki aankhon se aansu bahte huwe dikhayi diye.
Uski ye halat daikhte he Yoo-Jung ne aage badh ker usko banhon mein bhar liya. Caroline Yoo-Jung ki bahon mein dubak ker rone lagi. Yoo-Jung uske dard ko samajh sakti thi.
Un sab ke liye to Becky sirf ek teammate he thi per Caroline ki Becky se zyada attachment thi. Becky ke C.O.D mein ane ka kaaran Caroline ko protect karna he tha aur ab Caroline ko lag raha tha ke ye sab uski galti thi.
Aarav aur Kunle unki jagha per khamoshi se khade rahe aur Yoo-Jung ne bhi usko dil khol ker roo lene diya. Unhe bhi ehsaas tha ke unke kisi shabdon se Caroline ka dukh khatam nahi hone wala tha.
Lekin wo sab uske paas khade rahe ke usko akela mehsoos na ho. Unke paas hone se Caroline bhi utna lonely mehsoos nahi ker rahi thi. Lekin uske baad bhi uske dil ke andar ek tees si uth rahi thi.
*Clap ~ Clap ~ Clap*
“So, you’re the first ones out?”
Yoo-Jung baithi Caroline ko comfort ker he rahi thi ke unke paas taliyon ki awaaz ane lagi. Taliyon ki awaaz sun ker sab ne upar ki taraf daikha to unke upar he Merlin(Game Master) baitha huwa tha.
*Thud*
*Shing*
Merlin upar se kudte huwe neeche utar aya. Lekin uske neeche ate he Kunle ne uski shield ko utha liya aur wo ab apna guard down karne ke liye bilkul bhi taiyar nahi tha.
Merlin: Ohh, Lagta hai game zyada pasand nahi ayi tumhe! Itni strong killing instinct? *Grin* Not bad… but it's nowhere near enough to shake me.
Merlin ne udhar uske saamne baithi huwi Caroline ki taraf daikhte huwe kaha aur halka muskurane laga. Aarav ne Caroline ki taraf daikha to Caroline uski iron sword per grip banaye Merlin ko faad ker dene wali nazron se daikhte huwe khadi hone lagi.
Aarav: [Caroline, don't move!]
*Shing*
*Thud*
*Thud*
*Thud*
Caroline (Scream): Hahhhh!
Aarav ne Caroline ko khadi hote huwe daikha to usne usko udhar he shaant ho ker rukne ke liye kaha. Lekin Caroline ne uski baat suni bhi nahi aur sword per strong grip bana ker Merlin ki taraf bhaagne lagi.
Lekin Caroline ko apni taraf bhaagte ati huwi daikh ker bhi Merlin uski jagha per shaanti se khada huwa tha. Caroline abhi Merlin ke paas pohanchne he wali thi ke uske shareer se uska control khatam ho gaya aur wo udhar he freeze ho gayi.
Usko udhar ruke daikh sab ne peeche daikha to Aarav chamakti aankhon ke saath Caroline ko he daikh raha tha.
Aarav (Glare): I said don’t move!
Aarav ne abhi bhi Caroline ki soul ko unbind nahi kiya tha. Ye he kaaran tha ke Aarav ne zyada react nahi kiya tha. Lekin Aarav ki aankhon mein daikhte he Caroline ki bhi halat bigad gayi.
Aarav: He’s just trying to provoke you!
Aarav ko Merlin ka sajish samajh aa rahi thi. Usne shuru se Caroline ko target kiya tha aur usko bhi ab pata tha ke Caroline team ki kazmor kari hai. Becky ko beech mein la ker wo usko provoke ker raha tha aur wo ho bhi rahi thi.
Lekin Aarav sirf Caroline ke emotions ke liye usko puri team ko he khatre mein nahi daalne de sakta tha. Kyu ke Caroline ke attack karte he rule ki violation hone wali thi aur wo sab eliminate hone wale the.
Merlin (Sigh): Huh, Laga he tha ke tum per ek trick 2 baar kaam nahi kare gi! Lekin uske baad bhi tum sab se jaisa entertainment chahiye tha wo to mil he gaya hai.
Aarav uski baat ka matlab samajh raha tha. Ab tak uski team se ek bhi nahi mara tha. Deathwatchers ke liye ye unki haar ke jaisa tha. Lekin ab jab Aarav ek baar haar chuka tha to unhe aisa lag raha tha ke Aarav bhi unke liye dusre kamzor players ki tarha he ek player hai.
“Two teams are still inside”
Aarav ko uske peeche se Yoo-Jung ki awaaz sunayi di. Usne peeche daikha to unke peeche 2 portal aur bane huwe the aur dono glow ker rahe the. Unko daikhte he Aarav bhi samajh gaya ke old man aur Eren ki team abhi bhi andar thi.
Aarav (Exhale): Unka kuch der yanhi per wait karte hai... Vengeance?
Aarav ne Caroline ki taraf daikhte huwe kaha. Jaise wo puch raha ho ke kya wo ab uske upar trust ker sakta hai kya? Aarav ke puchne per Caroline ne bhi daant peesate huwe haath ki mutthi bheenchte huwe haan mein sar hila diya.
Aarav: Good...!
Aarav ne usko dobara chhod diya. Lekin uski soul ko unbind nahi kiya aur khud udhar he baith gaya aur rest karne laga. Uske baad Caroline ne ek baar Merlin ki taraf daikha to haath hilate huwe usko bye bye keh raha tha.
Usko daikh ker Caroline ko gussa to bohat zyada aya. Lekin usne khud ko shaant kiya aur muh pher ker wo bhi udhar he baith gayi aur wo sab dusri teams ka intezar karne lage.

Pavanpur Village
India ~ 7:25 AM
*Yawn*
“Yaar kya subha subha he itni mehnat wale kaam mein laga dete hai Shahab ji?”
Ramesh aur Sukhdev gaon ke paas wale jungle ki taraf badh rahe the. Un dono unke kandhon per kulhadiya uthayi huwi thi saath ek jhola pehna huwa tha aur uske andar katayi ka he kuch saman rakha huwa tha.
Ramesh: Ab karna to ho ga he na hamay! Ye jungle wala raasta kitne dino se band ho gaya hai pedon ke beech mein ane se... Ab jungle se sab ke jaane ke liye raasta to banana he ho ga warna shahab ji ka kitna nuksan ho jaye ga andaza bhi hai kya?
Ramesh ne chalte huwe Sukhdev se kaha aur dono unke saamne jungle ko daikhne lage. Unke aage pedon ki tahaniyon ka jaal bana huwa tha aur raasta bhi bohat tang ho gaya huwa tha udhar se khaali haath nikalna bhi mushkil ho raha tha.
Sukhdev: Lekin ye jungle ko ho kya gaya hai? Abhi hafta pehle tak to sab theek tha main khud yanha se ho ker gaya tha. Lekin ab to jaise ped paudhe pagalon ki tarha badhte he ja rahe hai aur to aur kheton mein bhi aisa he ho raha hai.
Ramesh: Haan ye to main ne bhi suna hai! Makkai aur gehu ke kheton mein itni hariyali ho gayi hai ki rasta bhi dikhna band ho gaya hai. Kal Ram Kaka bata rahe the ki aisa pehli baar ho raha hai… bole ke ye koi devi-kripa hai.
Sukhdev (Sigh): Devi-kripa ho ya kuch aur, hume toh bas apna kaam karna hai! Aj ka kaam jaldi se khatam karte hai aur nikalte hai.
Ramesh (Nod): Haan...!
Ramesh aur Sukhdev ne baate band ki aur jungle aur bhi bhitar jaane lage. Unhe daikhna tha ke ye raasta kanha tak aise he band hai aur uske baad kaam shuru karna tha. Lekin jitna wo andar ja rahe the utna he unhe ajeeb lag raha tha.
Unke paas ki havayen unhe aur bhi taza lag rahi thi aur unhen khushbu aa rahi thi jaise baarish ke baad mitti se ati thi. Unke paas ke ped phool paudhe sab bade ho rahe the aur unke patte chamak rahe the.
Ramesh: Huh? Ye kon hai?
Jungle mein thoda aur andar jaane ke baad unhe paas he ek khula maidan dikhayi diya. Uske beech mein ek bada ped tha aur uske neeche koi aadami baitha huwa tha. Lekin uske paas he jungle ke bohat se janvar bhi shaanti se baithe huwe the.
Sukhdev: Ye jungle ke itna andar kon aise janvaron ke beech baitha ho sakta hai?... Y-Ye kanhi kisi tarha ka tapasvi to nahi kya?
Ramesh (Gulp): Ye to mujhe bhi pata nahi ke ye kon hai! Lekin ye koi sadharan manushya to nahi lag raha mujhe... Ye sab badalav bhi shayad iske he kaaran ho rahe hai. Daikh kaise sab janvar uske paas baithe huwe hai aur mujhe to uske andar se mayavi shaktiyan bhi mehsoos ho rahi hai.
Ramesh sk sadharan insaan tha. Lekin uske baad bhi wo strong aura ko feel ker raha tha. Uski aur Sukhdev ki dar se halat kharab hone lagi aur dono ek dusre ki taraf daikhne lage.
Lekin unse dur baithe aadami ko bhi unke udhar hone ka ehsaas ho gaya tha.
“Great, Yanha per bhi uninvited guest aa gye...!”
Ek awaaz sunte he aadami ne bhi uski aankhe khol li aur apne paas ek ped ki taraf daikhne laga. Usko udhar ped ke neeche ek ladki khadi huwi dikhayi di.
Ladki (Sigh): Rahul, Ye already teesra gaon hai! Ab aur kitne gaon badalne ho gye?
Ped ke neeche baitha wo aadami Rahul he tha aur uske paas khadi huwi ladki Sophia thi Nature clan se. Aarav ne Sophia ko Rahul ke paas bheja tha Rahul ke andar nature qi core ko develop karwane ke liye.
Jaise ke Aarav ne usko kaha tha Sophia ko Rahul ke andar bohat potential dikhayi di. Rahul bina core ke he nature energy ko use ker sakta tha. Ye daikh ker Sophia bhi hairaan thi.
Rahul energy ko use to ker sakta tha per uske paas wo nature energy store karne ke liye uska core nahi tha. Uski body he uske liye temporary core ki tarha kaam kar rahi thi. Lekin usko uski nature energy ko immediately release karna padta tha.
Aarav ke kehne per Sophia uske andar core banane mein madad karne lagi thi. Lekin Rahul ki direct aur pure nature energy se uske paas ke area per bhi affect hota tha aur udhar nature bhi pure ho jata tha.
Jaise havaon aur pani ka aur pure ho jana aur ped paudhon ka tezi se aur zyada badhna. Ye he kaaran tha ke unhe Rahul ke nature qi ki cultivation ke liye kisi jungle area mein ana padta tha.
Lekin jungle ki growth se bhi logo ko unka pata lag jata tha aur paas ke log unhen devi devata kehne lag jate the. Uske baad unhe udhar se gayab hona padta tha aur ab wo teesre gaon ke jungle mein aye huwe the.
Rahul (Sigh): Ab main kya ker sakta hu? Sage level ke breakthrough ke liye mujhe bohat zyada energy collect karni per rahi hai.
Sophia: Uske liye ab tum wait bhi to kar he sakte ho na? Already tumhara sirf kuch dinon mein he master level per ana bohat chaunka dene wali baat hai... Lekin again, Tum Aarav ke student ho aur usko bhi journeyman Level per ane mein sirf kuch he din lage the. Ughhhh, Jaisa master hai waisa he usko apprentice bhi mila hai...!
Aarav ko Sophia ko Rahul ke paas bheje kuch din he huwe the. Lekin usne kuch dinon mein he uske core ko journeyman level tak le gaya tha. Rahul ka nature energy ko cultivate karne ka tarika Sophia aur baaki Qi clan se alag tha.
Rahul direct source se uski energy ko kheench raha tha aur usko apna bana raha tha. Journeyman level per uski qi energy Sophia ki nature energy se heavy mehsoos ho rahi thi.
Rahul: Lekin ye kaafi nahi hai!!
Sophia: Huh!?
Rahul: Master bohat aage nikal chuke hai! Aur unke strong hone ke saath ab unke dushman bhi strong players he hai... Agar hamay unke saath ladna hai to hamay strong hona ho ga... Abhi jitne hai usse bohat zyada strong hona ho ga. Uske baad he main Master aur Shadow per ek bojh nahi unka ek sahara ban sakta hu...!
Rahul ko ab tak uski last fight yaad thi. Uske zinda hone ka kaaran uska luck aur Kunal ka sahi samay per ana he tha. Lekin usko bhi pata tha ke uske aage ke opponents ab aur bhi strong hone wale hai aur uske liye usko bhi strong hona ho ga.
Sophia: Lekin tum jaldi level up karne ke chakkar mein basics ko neglect nahi ker sakte ho! Basic he perfect nahi ho gye to tumhari energy ek bomb se zyada aur kuch bhi nahi hai.
Sophia ki baat bhi uski jagha sahi thi. Strength ek proper technique ke bina andar se khokhali he hoti hai. Ab tak Rahul ne uski zyada techniques ko seekhne ki koshish he nahi ki thi.
*CRACK*
“Dhayan se chal... Usko hamare yanha hone ka pata lag jaye ga...!”
Ramesh aur Sukhdev ab chalte huwe unke kareeb aa chuke the. Lekin unke beech distance abhi bhi thi per Rahul aur Sophia ko unki awaaz dur se bhi saaf sunayi de rahi thi.
Sophia: Ab hamara aur yanha rukna sahi nahi ho ga...! Main ne tumhe wild phantom technique di thi practice karne ke liye. Usko samjhe ya nahi?
Rahul (Nod): Haan...!
Sophia (Smile): Good, Ab test kar le kya?
Rahul: *Nod*
Rahul thoda peeche ho ker seedha khada ho gaya aur Sophia usko daikhne lagi. Rahul uski aankhon ke saamne he tha ke achanak uski presence fade hone lagi aur agle he pal Rahul uske saamne hote huwe bhi uske saamne nahi tha.
Sophia: Master aur Apprentice sach mein monster hai! Ye seekhne mein mujhe 3 saal lage the.
Uske saath he Sophia bhi wild phantom technique use karte huwe udhar se gayab ho gayi. Udhar unko dhundhte huwe Ramesh aur Sukhdev udhar aye to saamne kisi ko na daikh ker dono ki aankhen hairani se khul gayi.
Sukhdev (Stunned): B-Bhai... Main keh raha tha ke ye koi bada khatarnak tapasvi hai! Bhaag le yanha se warna bhasm ho jaye gye hum dono...
Sukhdev kehte huwe udhar se bhaagne laga aur uske peeche he Ramesh bhi bhaagte huwe waapis gaon ki taraf jaane laga.

Carnival of Death
Dungeon ~ Stage 3 Lobby
*Zzzgggg*
*Thud*
*Thud*
*Cough-Cough*
[Current Players in Lobby: 6]
Aarav aur uski team baithi huwi intezar ker he rahi thi ke dono mein se ek portal activate huwa aur uske andar se Mira aur Daryl baahir nikalte huwe gir gye aur dono ne uthne ki koshish bhi nahi ki aur udhar he unka muh chupaye gire rahe aur unke rote ki siskiyan Aarav ko dur se sunayi de rahi thi.
*Zzzgggg*
Unke baahir ate saath he unke peeche ko dono ke dono portals close ho gye. Ye daikhte he Aarav ko andaza ho gaya ke Old man ki team aur Eren mar chuke the.
Yoo-Jung: Mira...!
Ab ki baar bhi Yoo-Jung he uth ker unke paas gayi aur usne Mira ko pakadte huwe utha diya. Lekin usne Mira ki halat daikhi to wo bhi Caroline ki he tarha ki halat mein thi.
Caroline: Eren... Eren... *Sniff* He's gone...!
Yoo-Jung: I know... I know!
Yoo-Jung ne uske kandhon per haath rakhte huwe kaha aur Mira uske saath lag ker phoot phoot ker rone lagi. Yoo-Jung bhi usko comfort karne lagi aur dusri taraf Daryl bhi haare huwe khiladi ki tarha baitha huwa tha.
Daryl (Furious): Lekin kaise? Ye kaise ho sakta hai? Queen D7 se E8 ke baad checkmate hona chahiye tha lekin kaise? Kaise F3 ke knight ne D4 ke bishop ko maar diya?... Y-Ye sab tumhari galti hai...!
Daryl kehte huwe Merlin ki taraf badhne laga to ab ki baar Kunle ne aage badh ker usko rok diya. Lekin Daryl usko udhar he dafan ker dena chahata tha.
Merlin: Well... Well... Well... What do we have here? 2 teams... Lekin next stage per to sirf ek he team ja sakti hai to ab kya karo gye? Ek team ko maar kar aage badhoge ya dusri team ke saath haath mila kar ek team banaoge?
Merlin ne uski ungaliyan hilate huwe mysterious tone mein kaha aur sab ki taraf daikhne laga. Dusri team ke saath teamup karne ka matlab tha ke reward bhi un sab ke saath split hone wala tha. Ek baar dobara Merlin uski cheap games khel raha tha.
Aarav: Hum dono tarha se taiyar hai! Mira aur Daryl hamare saath ana chahe to aa sakte hai aur agar tum dono ladna chahate ho to... Hum tumhe maar kar aage badhne ke liye bhi taiyar hai.
Aarav ne uski sword per haath rakhte huwe kaha to dono ne fauran haan mein sar hila diya aur teamup ke liye taiyar ho gye.
Tinkerbell: [Master... Seriously? Ap Dead weight kyu carry karna chahate ho?]
Aarav (Sigh): [Huh, Main unhe saath zaroor ane de raha hu! But it's not like ke mujhe unhe protect bhi karna ho ga, aur waise bhi hamay next stage mein bhi shayad meat shield ki zaroorat per sakti hai. Mushkil samay mein hamay sacrifice karne ke liye ye dead weights he chahiye hai]
Aarav ki baat sun ker Tinkerbell bhi uski planning ko samajh gayi. Lekin ye bhi galat nahi tha ke Aarav unko bina kisi reason ke yanha chhodna bhi nahi chahata tha to uski intentions puri tarha se galat nahi thi aur puri tarha se sahi bhi nahi thi.
Yoo-Jung: Queen D7 aur Bishop D4... Kya king G2 per tha?
Abhi sab ka dhayan Aarav aur Merlin ki taraf tha aur udhar Yoo-Jung calculations ker rahi thi. Uske saval ker sun ker Mira ne ek baar uski taraf daikha aur phir haan mein sar hila diya.
Yoo-Jung: Aur tum logo ke paas 17 minute aur 23 second ka samay tha?
Mira: *Nod*
[Board Position]
[White Pieces:
King on g2
Queen on e7
Bishop on c4]
[Black Pieces:
King on g8
Rook on f8
Knight on e5
Pawn on h7
Pawn on a3]
Aarav: [Yoo-Jung, Ye sab kya puch rahi ho?]
Aarav ne saval kiya per Yoo-Jung baithi kuch sochti rahi. Aarav ne bhi usko sochane diya aur khada ho ker usko daikhta raha aur kuch der baad Yoo-Jung ne sar uthaya aur Merlin ki taraf daikhne lagi.
Yoo-Jung: Tumhara naam Merlin nahi hai...!
Yoo-Jung ka saval sunte he Merlin bhi usko chaunk ker daikhne laga.
Merlin: Aur tum ye kaise keh sakti ho?
Yoo-Jung: Kyu ke tumhara naam **** hai...!
[Warning: Revealing the Game Master’s name is strictly prohibited]
[Trying again will result in immediate elimination]
Yoo-Jung ne jaise he naam liya uski awaaz ek pal ke liye mute ho gayi aur kisi ko bhi naam sunayi nahi diya. Lekin udhar Merlin ki aankhe hairat se khul gayi aur idhar Yoo-Jung ki muskurahat aur bhi gehri ho gayi.
Yoo-Jung: Revealing the Game Master’s name is strictly prohibited *Grin* Iska matlab mera liya huwa naam sahi tha?
Merlin (Annoyed): Tch ~
[You have received a sponsorship!]
[▶ Player: Luna
Sponsor: Red Rose
Reason: For displaying exceptional intelligence and figuring out the Game Master’s identity.
Reward: +300 Dungeon Points]
Yoo-Jung ne uska naam sahi guess ker liya tha aur ye pata lagne ke baad Merlin ka shareer pehli baar gusse se kaanpta dikhayi de raha tha. Lekin jaise Yoo-Jung usko kuch nahi kar sakti thi waise he wo bhi Yoo-Jung kuch nahi kar sakta tha.
Caroline: [Kya naam hai iska?]
Yoo-Jung ko uske paas baithi Caroline ki awaaz uske mann mein sunayi di. Usne Caroline ki taraf daikha to wo Merlin ko aise daikh rahi thi jaise wo abhi uska khoon pee jaye gi.
Yoo-Jung: [Mujhe nahi lagta ke game master ka naam kisi ko telepathically bhi bata sakti hu! Aur dobara try karna mere liye maut ka kaaran ban sakti hai]
Caroline uski baat samajh sakti thi aur phir wo bhi khamosh ho gayi.
Kunle: [Lekin tum ne uska naam guess kaise kiya?]
Yoo-Jung (Smile): [Main bada hint to nahi de sakti hu! Lekin ye chess board ki positions random nahi thi. They were the exact unfinished games of a real chess player]
Kunle: [Chess player?]
Yoo-Jung (Nod): [Haan, Lekin ek normal chess player ki games nahi! Ye ek Grand Master ki unfinished games thi aur meri archery classes mein iske baare mein baate hoti thi to ye kuch games mujhe bhi yaad thi]
Kunle (Stunned): [Are you serious? Kitne saal ho gye uss baat ko?]
Yoo-Jung: [13-14 Years]
Kunle: [Aur tumhe ab bhi wo 1-2 baar huwi baaton se puri game yaad hai?]
Yoo-Jung (Nod): [Haan]
Yoo-Jung ke javab per Kunle bhi speechless reh gaya. Lekin un sab ke beech mein Aarav khamoshi se khada sab kuch sun raha tha.
Aarav: Luna... Tumhe game master ku identity puri tarha se pata hai ya sirf naam pata hai?
Aarav ke saval per sab uski taraf daikhne lage. Usne ye saval telepathically nahi merlin ki aankhon mein aankhen daalte huwe pucha tha.
Yoo-Jung (Nod): Haan...!
Aarav (Smirk): Great...!
[Your murderous intent is radiating outward]
*Woooosh*
*Gasping*
Aarav ne uske saamne Merlin ki taraf daikhte huwe uski murderous intent ko release kiya to Merlin fauran he uchalte huwe peeche ho gaya. Usne haath Aarav ko block karne ke liye utha liye aur Aarav ki murderous intent se uske sabhi mental strength ko badhane wale barrier toot gye aur uska shareer dar se kaanpne laga.
Aarav (Grin): Oh? Now that’s a reaction! Guess I’m finally close to making you sweat, huh?
Aarav ne Merlin ki taraf daikhte huwe muskurate huwe kaha to Merlin ke muh se awaaz tak nahi nikli.
Aarav: Ab tumhe janha bhaagna hai bhaag sakte ho! Lekin yaad rakhna... Hum mein se ek bhi baahir aya to tumhari maut pakki hai...!
Aarav seedhe seedhe Game Master ko dhamka raha tha.
[You have received a sponsorship!]
[▶ Player: Corpse
Sponsor: Big Billy
Reason: For his boldness in challenging the Game Master without fear.

Aarav ne seedhe Merlin ko dhamki de di aur wo sunte he Deathwatchers Aarav ko sponsor karne lage aur udhar Merlin ki gaand phat chuki thi aur wo sirf Aarav ko daikhta he reh gaya.
Aarav: We’re done with this stage! Let’s move on.
Aarav ne uski team se kaha aur unke saath aage badh gaya. Uske peeche se Merlin bhi kab gayab huwa kisi ko pata nahi laga. Aarav uski team ke saath kuch der yun he aage badhta raha aur usko next stage ka portal dikh gaya.
Aarav: [Finally, Fourth aur last stage...!]
Aarav ne uske saamne open portal ki taraf daikhte huwe kaha. Ye unki last stage thi. Carnival se baahir ye 1 week he tha. Lekin unke liye yanha per ye 1 saal ke barabar tha.
Aarav: Let's go...!
Aarav ne kaha aur aage badh ker portal ke andar chala gaya aur baaki sab bhi uske saath he Portal ke andar next stage per chale gye.
[Stage 4: Portal Unlocked]
[Teleporting to the next stage…]

AkaiShiro Corporation
Tokyo ~ 8:29 AM
[The Carnival of Death live stream has ended]
*Stream Ended*
Aakash ke saamne open window per notification aya aur uske saath he window close ho gayi.
Renjiro: Master, Live stream viewers sirf stage 3 tak carnival ko daikh sakte hai! Stage 4 sirf Deathwatchers ke liye hai. Lekin wo carnival ka result hamay bata de gye.
*Sip*
Aakash udhar kursi per baitha uski coffee pee raha tha. Usne kuch dinon se theek se khana bhi nahi khaya tha.
Aakash: Renjiro... Tumhe pata hai wo fourth stage sirf Deathwatchers ko kyu dikhate hai?
Aakash ne coffee cup ki taraf daikhte huwe Renjiro se saval kiya to Renjiro bhi uski taraf daikhne laga.
Renjiro: Kyu master?
Aakash: Kyu ke carnival unki weakness sab ko nahi dikha sakte...!
Renjiro: Carnival ki weakness?
Carnival ki aisi koi khaas weakness bhi hai ye sun ker Renjiro bhi hairaan ho gaya.
Aakash (Nod): Haan, Unki weakness mein se unki ek weakness fourth stage bhi hai! Carnival ke paas fourth stage per puri authority nahi hoti.
Renjiro: What? Lekin carnival ke paas unki he stage mein authority kyu nahi ho gi?
Aakash: I don't know, Lekin fourth stage carnival ke liye bhi surprise hoti hai! Team ke according unke liye world chunna jata hai aur unhe quest di jati hai...!
Ye khabar Renjiro ke liye bhi nayi thi. Fourth stage carnival ki he part to thi. Lekin at the same time he wo carnival se alag bhi thi. Dungeon Master ke paas bhi world aur quest select karne ki authority nahi thi.
Renjiro: Hmm ~ Lekin mujhe ek baat samajh nahi aa rahi, Master! I'm sure ke ye information bohat he top secret information ho gi aur ye to shayad kisi deathwatcher ko bhi nahi batayi gayi ho gi... Lekin ap ko ye information kaise mil gayi?
*Sip*
Renjiro ne uska saval kiya to Aakash ne coffee ka ek ghoont bhar liya aur wo Renjiro ki taraf muskurate huwe daikhne laga.
Aakash: Kyu ke mera bhai udhar carnival ke andar hai! Aur uska bhai usko bachane ke liye kuch bhi ker sakta hai aur... Kisi bhi tarha ki information pata laga sakta hai...!
Aakash ki baat sun ker Renjiro ne nod karte huwe bow ker diya. Aakash kursi se uth gaya aur baahir ki taraf chal diya. Lekin chalte huwe Aakash ruka aur halka head side ki taraf turn karte huwe side eye se Renjiro ko daikhne laga.
Aakash: Result batane ke liye bulane ki zaroorat nahi hai! Aarav laut kar zaroor aye ga. Kyu ke agar wo na aya to carnival se kabhi koi khabar bhi nahi aye gi...!
Renjiro: Yes master...!
Aakash ki baat sun ker Renjiro ne kaha aur Aakash dobara aage badhate huwe office se baahir nikal gaya. AkaiShiro Corporation kuch dinon se band ker di gayi thi to baahir office abhi khaali tha aur udhar ek bhi insaan nahi tha.

“E7... D7... C7...”
Aarav ek ke baad ek darwaze ko kholte huwe aage badh raha tha. Yoo-Jung ne usko kuch daikhne ke liye bheja tha aur wo khud baaki sab ko le ker kanhi aur chale gayi thi.
Tinkerbell: [Human Chess... Lekin ap ko ye kaise pata nahi laga?]
Aarav: [Because I’ve never played chess in my life...! Not even once]
Tinkerbell: What... Seriously? Lekin ye to ek normal game hai na? Uske baad bhi?]
Aarav (Sigh): [Huh... Lekin mera childhood normal nahi tha! Mere paas chess ya kisi bhi aur game per dhayan dene ka samay nahi tha... I know the pieces and stuff, but I’ve never actually played a full game]
Aarav ki baat sun ker Tinkerbell ko bhi ye zyada surprising nahi laga ke Aarav stage ko pehchan nahi saka kyu ke usne kabhi chess kheli he nahi thi to usko chess ka khayal tak nahi aya tha.
Tinkerbell: [So even geniuses have their limits, huh?]
Aarav (Nod): [Haan, Lekin tum mujhe waise bhi ek genius nahi keh sakti...!]
Tinkerbell: [Ab tumhe genius nahi kahu to aur kisko kahu gi? Ab tak tumhe main ne haarte huwe daikha bhi nahi hai]
Aarav (Sigh): [Main clearly ek fool nahi hu And I’m definitely smarter than most people! Main infinity prison ke andar ek lambe samay tak raha hu... it changed me. My battle instincts got sharper, my survival sense is better than ever. Lekin agar tum meri powers mujhse cheen lo to... I’m just an above-average smart guy]
Aarav ki baat ka matlab Tinkerbell bhi samajh rahi thi. Aarav ke plans bilkul flawless nahi hote the aur unke andar bohat se loopholes bhi hote the. Lekin uski strength loopholes ko cover ker leti thi.
Tinkerbell: [Aur Yoo-Jung?]
Aarav (Nod): [Yoo-Jung ko hum genius keh sakte hai! Uski observation skills shuruaat se he extra ordinary lagi hai mujhe... Lekin Yoo-Jung bhi puri tarha se unbreakable genius nahi hai]
Tinkerbell: [Lekin phir asli genius hum kis ko keh sakte hai?]
Aarav: [Aakash Sayani...!]
Aakash ka naam sunte he Tinkerbell ke mann se bhi sab doubts khatam ho gye. Aakash ke brain ko Tinkerbell ne bhi experience kiya tha. Uske saamne Aarav bhi kabhi calm nahi reh saka aur uski har baat ko Aarav bhi serious leta tha.
Ab tak Tinkerbell ne Aarav ko kisi ke saamne bhi aise nahi daikha tha jaise wo Aakash ke saamne hota tha. Aarav ko bhi pata tha ke Aakash uski taraf hai aur Aarav ko uske upar puri tarha se ab vishwas bhi tha.
Lekin Aarav ke vishwas ka kaaran sirf Aakash aur uska relation nahi tha. Aarav usko kabhi opponent ke roop mein daikhna bhi nahi chahata tha to usne Aakash per puri tarha se vishwas karne ka nirnay le liya huwa tha.
Aarav: [Yoo-Jung... Main B7 ke andar hu]
Aarav ne B7 room ke darwaze ko kholte huwe he telepathically Yoo-Jung ko bata diya. Aarav udhar se he sab rooms ko check karte huwe aa raha tha. Lekin usko raaste mein aur kuch bhi dikhayi nahi diya tha.
Yoo-Jung: [Ab B6 mein daikho ke wanha per piece hai kya?]
Aarav: [Alright...!]
Yoo-Jung ke kehte he Aarav ab neeche ke room ki taraf chal diya. Uske darwaze per B6 likha huwa tha.
*Click*
*Grooowwwrrrr*
Aarav jaise he B6 room ke andar gaya to uske aage ek aur giant castle khada huwa tha. Aarav ke andar ate he usne dobara patthar phainkane shuru ker diye.
[Flash Steps]
*Woooosh*
*Ka-booooom*
Aarav bina samay barbad kiye flash steps se aage badha aur giant castle ko todte huwe uske andar se baahir nikal gaya. Uske peeche giant castle tukaron mein toot ker bikhar gaya tha.
[invalid move!]
[The fallen piece is reforming…]
[The Black Rook has reformed!]
[The Black Rook has returned to play!]
[The board rejects your move… the piece is reset!]
Aarav ne peeche ghoom ker daikha to uske peeche giant castle dobara khada huwa tha.
Aarav (Sigh): Huh... Kitna easy hota agar main sirf isko aise he khatam ker sakta...!
Aarav: [Yoo-Jung, B6 per bhi ek Rook hai! Ab kya karna hai?]
Yoo-Jung: [Bingo... Main ne sab ko unki positions per bhej diya hai! Ab tum udhar se seedhe B1 per chale jao. Raaste mein aur koi piece nahi ho ga to tumhe rukne ki zaroorat nahi hai]
Aarav (Nod): [Good...!]
[Flash Steps]
*Woooosh*
*Click*
*Woooosh*
*Click*
Aarav bhaagte huwe ek room se dusre room mein jata raha. Usne ek baar bhi ruk ker Yoo-Jung ko question ker ke time waste nahi kiya.
[Time Remaining: 04:50]
Caroline: [Lekin Yoo-Jung, tumhe sab ki positions ke baare mein kaise pata hai?]
Yoo-Jung: [Ek baar sab apni apni kalaiyon ki taraf daikho...!]
Yoo-Jung ki baat sun ker sab he unki kalaiyon ko daikhne lage. Un sabhi ki kalaiyon ke upar Letter likhe huwe the. Aarav ne uski kalayi ko daikha to udhar “K” likha huwa tha
Uske saath baakiyo ke bhi aise he Becky ke “R” Aur Caroline ke “B” Aur Kunle ke “P” Aur sab se last mein Yoo-Jung ki kalayi mein “Q” Likha huwa tha.
Yoo-Jung: [Ye letter chess mein notation ke liye hote hai! King ke liye K bishop ke liye B queen ke liye Q rook ke liye R aur pawn ke liye P letter hota hai...!]
Yoo-Jung ki baat sun ker un sab ko pata lag gaya ke unko konsa chess piece banaya gaya tha.
Yoo-Jung: [Lobby ke andar 2nd room ke andar ek unfinished chess game thi! White pieces ke 12 minutes aur 22 seconds remaining the same time jo hamay stage ke liye diya gaya hai. Uske according hum abhi wo he game khel rahe hai]
[Current Board Position Identified]
[White Team:
King (Corpse) → B1
Queen (Luna) → G1
Rook (Iron Wall) → E1
Bishop (Vengeance) → B2
Pawn (Protector) → H6
[Black Team:
King → H8
Knight → F6
Rook → E8
Rook → B5
Pawn → H7]
Tinkerbell: [What the fuck!? Usko sab pieces ki puri position tak yaad thi?]
Aarav: [Jaise ke main ne tum se kaha tha *Grin* Unrealistic observation skill...!]
Ab Tinkerbell ko Aarav ki baat ka matlab samajh aa raha tha. Yoo-Jung har samay shaant rehti thi per wo sab kuch daikh rahi hoti thi.
*Click*
“Huh... Corpse?”
Aarav B2 room mein gaya to udhar usko pehle se he Caroline khadi huwi dikh gayi. Uski ye position thi Aarav se next room ke andar. Lekin Aarav ne uski taraf daikha to usko Caroline ke chehre per dar dikhayi diya.
Aarav usko samajh sakta tha. Caroline ke paas sab attack skills aur abilities ranked thi aur ab usko sab se alag akele act karna tha. Aarav ne Caroline ki taraf daikhte huwe subspace pouch se uske liye ek sword nikal ker usko de di.
Aarav: Main tumhare paas he hu! Yanha nervous hone ka matlab maut ho gi... Kuch bhi ho jaye per hum sab ko apna apna role pura karna ho ga. Okay?
Aarav ne sword Caroline ke haath mein dete huwe uski aankhon mein daikhte huwe kaha. Caroline ne uski taraf daikha aur haan mein sar hila diya. Usko calm karne ke baad Aarav uski position per chala gaya.

Mohan Arora's Room
France ~ 3:31 PM
Mohan uske kamre ke andar chair per baitha huwa tha. Uski chair ke saath he rakhi ek aur chair per Ankush bhi baitha huwa tha. Mohan aur Ankush baithe coffee pee rahe the.
Lekin Mohan ki nazre Ankush usko kisi khanjar ki tatha uske upar mehsoos ho rahi thi. Uske bhi pasine chhut rahe the. Lekin wo khud ko calm dikhane ki koshish ker raha tha.
Ankush: D-Dad... Ap ne kuch kehne ke liye bulaya tha?
Ankush ne jhijhakte huwe baat ki shuruaat ki aur khud he khamosh ho ker baith gaya aur coffee cup ki taraf daikhte huwe Mohan ke kuch kehne ka intezar karne laga.
Mohan: Hmm ~ Ek he baat puchni hai, Aur kab tak?
Ankush: Aur kab tak!?
Mohan: Aur kab tak tum mujhe nirash karne wale ho? Kyu ker rahe ho tum mere saath ye sab? Aakhir kya he maanga hai main ne tum se. Ek shaktishali vaaris, Kya wo bhi nahi de sakte tum mujhe?
Ankush (Sigh): Dad... Main ap ke liye kuch bhi ker sakta hu! Lekin ye ek cheez he main nahi ker sakta... Please!
Mohan: Lekin kyu? Aakhiri baar kaaran puch raha hu! Uske baad mera nirnay sunau ga.
Mohan ki awaaz mein aur bhi kathorata aa gayi thi aur uski baat sun ker Ankush ko bhi ab lag nahi raha tha ke Mohan ab uske excuses se aur satisfy hone wala hai.
Ankush (Sigh): Huh... Kyu ke agar ap ko agar sirf ek vaaris chahiye hota to main taiyar tha! Lekin ap ko ek hathiyar chahiye hai aur uske liye ap kya kuch ker sakte ho uska mujhe ache se andaza hai...!
Ankush ne ek gehri saans le ker sab kuch Mohan se keh diya. Uske andar ka pura gubbar Ankush ne Mohan ke saamne nikal diya tha. Uski baat sun ker Mohan usko aankhe khole daikhta he reh gaya.
Usne kabhi Ankush se ye kaha to nahi tha. Lekin ye sach tha ke uske plans aise he the. Mohan sirf ek vaaris nahi ek shaktishali vaaris chahta tha aur phir usko uske liye kuch bhi kyu na pad jata wo karne ko taiyar tha.
Mohan: Lekin usmein galat kya hai? Tumhe bhi to main ne aise he taiyar kiya tha. Duniya ke saath chalne ke liye ye karna zaroori hota hai warna duniya tumh-
*Thud*
Ankush: Galat? Ismein sahi kya? Ap ke liye main har din mehnat karta tha! Lekin main class mein top karta tha to ap mujhe dusri class se ke bacho se compare karte the. School mein top karta tha to ap kisi aur school ke bache se compare karte the aur jab un sab se aage badhta tha to ap mujhe kisi aur bade genius se compare karne lagte the... Sach to ye hai ke ap kabhi satisfy hona he nahi chahate the... Comparing your kid to others, pushing them to fight everyone, and making their life hell for it?
Mohan ke baat karte huwe beech mein he Ankush ne coffee cup ko zor se table per rakhte huwe unchi awaaz mein kehna shuru ker diya. Uske chehre per uski frustration saaf dikhayi de rahi thi.
Ankush (sighs): It took me 22 years to break free from your “Everyone’s out to get you” mindset! Wo mere liye kisi torture se kam nahi tha... I felt like an empty shell…!
Mohan: *Glare*
Ankush (Smile): Lekin phir Varsha ke pyaar ne mujhe badal diya! Usne mujhe bataya ke koi mera dushman nahi hai.... No one is. I don’t have to fight them. I... I can help them instead...! Beatrice ke chehre ke dar ke saye mein doobe chehre per muskurahat la ker mujhe ehsaas huwa ke mujhe dusro se badhiya nahi better hone ki zaroorat hai... Mujhe logo ko kuchalne ki nahi bachane ki zaroorat hai...!
Ankush ke chehre per to muskurahat thi. Lekin uski muskurahat ko daikh ker Mohan bilkul bhi khush nahi tha.
Mohan (Frustrated): Ye sab ka sab dhong hai! Usko sirf ek sahare ki zaroorat thi aur usne tumhara Use kiya hai uske liye. Uski research ko fund karne ke liye uske pati ko dhokha dene ke liye uske bacho ko Arora khandan ka hissa banane ke liye... Lekin tum ho ke pagalon ki tarha uske deewane bante ja rahe ho?
Ankush: Varsha swarthi hai to wo mujhe swarthi he sveekar hai! Ap se bhi main ye he chahu ga ke ap bhi Urvi aur Suhani ko he apna parivar maan lo...!
Mohan: Unko tum apna parivar keh sakte ho! Lekin wo kabhi Arora parivar mein shamil nahi ho gye.
Ankush: *Sigh*
Mohan: Abhi tum samajh nahi rahe ho! Ye duniya lagatar badal rahi hai. Player, Monster, Qi clans aur aage kis ko pata ke kya ho ga? Un sab ke beech mein sirf Arora khandan ko ek itihas ban ker nahi rehne de sakta. Hum pehle bhi shaktishali the aur aage bhi rahe gye aur hamara naam sab ko yaad rahe ga uske liye chahe mujhe kuch bhi kyu na karna per jaye....!
Ankush: Dad, Main ap ko ek baar he vishwas karne ke liye kehta hu! Main kabhi Arora family ka naam kisi ko bhoolne nahi dunga. Hum hamare power ke liye nahi... Hamare ache karmon ke liye yaad kiye jaye gye.
Ankush aur Mohan dono he unke nirnay se hat nahi rahe the. Lekin ab Ankush thoda darne laga tha kyu ke Mohan ab khamoshi se usko daikh raha tha.
Mohan (Sigh): Ab main tumhe last chance de raha hu! Tum meri baat maan rahe ho ya nahi?
Ankush: Ap kitna bhi chahe utna intezar ker sakte hai! Lekin maaf karna, Ap ko har baar nirasha he ho gi...!
Ankush kehte huwe khada ho gaya aur jaane ke liye taiyar ho gaya. Usne Mohan ki taraf daikha to jaise usse jaane ki permission maang raha ho. Mohan ne uski taraf daikhte huwe Nod ker ke usko jaane diya.
Mohan ke ishara karte he Ankush udhar se nikal gaya. Uske baahir jaane tak Mohan usko jaate huwe daikhta raha aur Ankush ke baahir jaate he Mohan ki secretary andar aa gayi aur Mohan ke paas aa ker khadi ho gayi.

Carnival of Death
Dungeon ~ Stage 3
[Time Remaining: 02:18]
”We have a winning move here!?”
Caroline ne ek baar ache se board ke setup ko daikha to uske muh se khud he nikal aya. Uski baat sun ker Aarav bhi uske upar dhayan dene laga.
Aarav: [Winning Move?]
Caroline (Nod): [Haan... Becky E1 se black ke E8 per positioned Rook ko capture ker sakti hai...! And that puts their King in checkmate]
Aarav: [How? What’s stopping him from running?]
Caroline: [Black king ke paas kya options hai? H7 ko black ka pawn he block ker raha hai! Uske paas sirf G8 ya G7 ka he option hai. Lekin G8 aur G7 dono ko he Queen(Yoo-Jung) cover ker rahi hai to ye checkmate ho ga...!]
Aarav: [Yoo-Jung, that means the game ends here.... Right?]
Aarav ne ek baar confirm karne ke liye Yoo-Jung se pucha. Lekin Yoo-Jung ab tak bilkul khamosh khadi huwi thi. Aarav ko Caroline ki explanation theek to lag rahi thi. Lekin usko Yoo-Jung ki khamoshi khal bhi rahi thi.
Yoo-Jung: [Yes... It should]
Yoo-Jung ne bhi move ko confirm ker diya. Lekin ab Aarav ko bhi ye theek nahi lag raha tha.
Becky: [Alright, so I just move to E8, take the Black Rook, and that’s checkmate?]
Aarav: [I don't know, Lekin ye bhi carnival ki he ek stage hai...! Lekin ye stage aise ek move se end ho rahi hai? it’s too easy. Almost like it was… set up for us to take...!]
Aarav ki baat sun ker sab soch mein per gye. Unhe bhi Aarav ki baat ab sahi lag rahi thi.
Yoo-Jung: [Exactly, I don’t know.... But something about this feels wrong! Jaise hum kuch bohat he important point miss ker rahe hai]
Aarav (Nod): [Yoo-Jung, do you think we shouldn’t make the move?]
Yoo-Jung: [Lekin hamare paas aur koi safe option hai bhi kanha? If we do anything else, the rook on b6 will take out the bishop(Caroline). If we move the bishop, our king(Aarav) will be exposed]
Yoo-Jung ki baat bhi sahi thi. Unka ek galat move bhi unke teammate ki maut ka kaaran ban sakta tha. Unke paas zyada time bhi nahi bacha tha.
[Time Remaining: 01:22] Becky: [We don’t have a choice... Right? Then I’m doing it. Main Caroline ko khatre mein nahi daal sakti]
Yoo-Jung (Nod): [Alright ~]
Yoo-Jung ke saath he baaki sab ne bhi E1 se E8 ke move ko confirm ker diya.
[Move Confirmed]
[Iron Wall (Rook) → E8]
*Rumble ~*
*Crash*
*BANG*
Becky ke saamne move confirmation notification aa gye aur uske saath uske saamne ke sab room hilne shuru ho gye. Aisa lag raha tha jaise koi uske liye raasta bana raha tha. Uske saamne ki sabhi deeware ek saath toot gayi aur E8 tak uske liye direct raasta ban gaya.
Becky: [Alright ~]
*Tuck ~ Tuck*
*Thud ~ Tuck*
[Ability (Titan's Wrath) Activated]
Becky ne uski shield ko pakda aur tezi se E8 per khade huwe giant castle ki taraf bhaagne lagi aur beech mein usne ability ko active ker liya. Uski shield Mana se enchant ho gayi aur Becky ke aas-paas energy ka aura ban gaya.
“Why does a game end when it’s game over? A game should be played till the very last move…!”
Yoo-Jung ko Game Master ke kahe huwe bol ek dum se yaad aa gye aur yaad ate he uski aankhe khauf aur hairani se khul gayi. Uske haath kaanpne shuru ho gye.
Yoo-Jung: [Becky... Stop ~]
*Woooosh*
*Ka-booooom*
[Black Rook Eliminated]
[Checkmate Declared]
Becky ne giant castle ke paas ate he jump liya aur shield ko uski chhati per maar diya. Giant castle ke beech mein attack se crack ane lage aur agle he pal giant castle udhar he bikhar gaya.
Becky (Panting): [Haah... Haah... Yoo-Jung, Kuch huwa hai kya?]
Yoo-Jung: [Becky, Tumhe abhi udhar se waapis ana ho ga...!]
Caroline: [Lekin ye checkmate ho gaya na? Ab darne ki kya baa-]
[Warning! The game is not over]
[Turn Switching…]
[Black’s Turn Begins]
Becky: Huh?
Ek saath sab ke chehre ka rang udd gaya aur sab unke saamne aye notification ko hairani se daikh rahe the. Checkmate ke baad bhi game khatam nahi ho rahi thi.
[Your objective: Kill the Black Team’s King within the given time]
Unhe black ke king ko checkmate nahi karna tha usko maarna tha. Lekin unki turn ke baad ab black side ki turn aa gayi thi.
[Black Knight → E8]
[Pieces will be immobilized during the opposing team’s turn]
*Rumble ~*
*Crash*
*BANG*
Becky ki aankhon mein khauf aur badh gaya jab usne uski body ko immobilized mehsoos kiya. Wo ek jagha per freeze ho gayi thi aur ab uske saamne ek baar dobara deeware toot rahi thi aur raasta ban raha tha. Lekin ab ki baar ye uske liye nahi uski taraf ban raha tha.
*Tuck*
*Tuck*
*Tuck*
Becky ne uske saamne daikha to uske saamne se black ka knight chalte huwe aa raha tha. Becky ka pura shareer kaanpne laga uski aankhon ke saamne uski maut thi.
Caroline (Shout): Beckyyyy.... Run...!
Caroline chillane lagi. Lekin Becky ke saath abhi wo sab bhi immobilized ho gye the. Unse bhi hila nahi ja raha tha. Aarav bhi koshish ker raha tha per wo game ke andar uski strength se bhi kuch bhi nahi ker sakta tha.
Black knight becky ke bilkul saamne aa ker khada ho gaya. Usko daikh ker Becky ki dar se halat to kharab ho rahi thi. Lekin agle he pal kuch soch ker wo shaant hone lagi.
Becky: [Yoo-Jung, Ab black king ke liye hamara raasta khul gaya hai na?]
Becky ne Yoo-Jung se saval kiya to sab ruk gye aur hairani se uski baat ko sun'nne lage.
Yoo-Jung (Nod): [Haan... Ab next move mein black ke king ko maar sakte hai...!]
Becky (Smile): [I see... Ms. Caroline... Ap ek bohat achi boss thi... Mujhe maaf karna... Main ab ap ko aur Protect nahi ker saku gi...!]
Becky muskurate huwe Knight ko uski sword uthate huwe daikhne lagi.
Michael ne desk ke peeche baithe huwe uske haath ki mutthi bheench li aur desk per maar di. Michael ke chehre per gussa aur gilani dono bhav dikhayi de rahe the.
*Crack*
Michael ka desk ek high ranked wood se bana tha per usmein bhi ek crack aa gaya. Uske saamne he system window open thi aur uske andar carnival ki stream chal rahi thi.
Lekin stream ke andar ka drishya Michael se bhi daikha nahi ja raha tha. Uske saamne Becky ki sar kati laash E8 ke floor per giri huwi thi aur uske paas he black knight khada huwa tha.
Michael kuch der ke liye udhar he shaanti se baitha raha aur lambi lambi saanse lene laga. Uske baad Michael ne uske kaanpte haatho se holographic window ko haath se band ker diya.
*Beep*
Michael: Gerald. In my office... Now!!
Michael ne desk ke side per he bane ek button ko press karte huwe keh diya. Uske kuch seconds ke baad he Gerald bhaagte huwe Michael ke office ke andar aa gaya.
Gerald: You called, sir?
Gerald ne andar ate he kaha. Lekin uske andar ane per bhi Michael ne uska sar nahi uthaya aur udhar waise he baitha raha.
Michael: Contact Captain Becky’s parents! Inform them… *Hesitate* Tell them she died while performing her duty.
Michael ki request sun ker Gerald ki bhi aankhen khul gayi. Usse Michael ki baat per vishwas nahi ho raha tha. Lekin usne Michael aur desk ki halat ko daikha to uska shak khud he dur ho gaya.
Gerald (Nod): I-I’ll arrange a call...!
Gerald ne jhijhakte huwe Nod kar ke keh diya.
Michael: No... Cancel the call! I’ll tell them myself.
Gerald: Sir, is that necessary? Abhi Ms. Caroline ki absence mein association ko ap ki zyada zaroorat hai... I can deliver the message on your behalf.
Michael: Nahi, Becky ke parents ek phone call se zyada deserve karte hai! She deserved better. Make the arrangements... I want to meet them ASAP. Personally...!
Gerald: Understood. I’ll set the schedule!
Gerald kehte huwe udhar se chala gaya. Uske jaane ke baad Michael kuch der udhar he shaanti se baitha raha. Usne khud ko calm kiya aur dobara se stream ko start ker diya aur aage daikhne laga.
Michael (Stunned): Caroline? Come on… not another one! Please.... Please... Ab main kisi aur ko marte nahi daikhna chahata.

Carnival of Death
Dungeon ~ Stage 3
[Time Remaining: 57 Seconds]
*Gasping*
“Caroline... Caroline... Move... Caroline...”
*Gasping*
“Haah... Haah... Beck.... Haah... Y.... Haah”
Ab white team ki turn thi to ab sab players dobara move ker sakte the. Lekin uske baad Caroline ab tak Becky ki maut ke shock se ubhar nahi saki thi aur uski jagha per freeze ho gayi thi.
Uske peeche usko sab bula rahe the. Lekin wo kisi ki bhi awaaz per react ya reply nahi ker rahi thi aur lambi lambi saanse bharte huwe udhar he khadi rahi.
Tinkerbell: [Ab hum kya kare? Jeetne ke liye isko aage badhna ho ga...!]
Ab kyu ke Black knight F6 se hat gaya tha to white bishop (Caroline) B2 ke liye Black king H8 tak ka raasta ban gaya tha. Lekin uske baad ab Caroline bilkul shocked ho ker sochne samajhne ki bhi kshamta kuch pal ke liye kho chuki thi.
Aarav (Sigh): [Huh, Merlin... Mujhe shuruaat se he usse achhi feeling nahi aa rahi thi...! Usne hamare saamne sab hints rakh diye the. Kyu ke yanha hamare paas aur koi raasta nahi tha...!]
Aarav ki team ko jeetne ke liye kam se kam unka ek teammate sacrifice karna he tha. Ye agar ek simple chess hoti to wo sab survive ker sakte the. Lekin abhi unka objective king ko maarna tha usko sirf checkmate karna nahi tha.
So, Becky had to die for the win. There was no other way.
Aarav: [Merlin last dono game masters se zyada dangerous hai! Lekin uski shaktiyon ke kaaran nahi uske calm aur sly nature ke kaaran. Merlin chahata to ek difficult game de sakta tha... Lekin usne hamay jeet ki umeed de ker todne ka nirnay liya]
Tinkerbell: [Lekin kaise?]
Aarav: [Assigned roles daikhe hai tum ne? Merlin ne last dono stages se Becky aur Caroline ki ek dusre ke prati loyalty aur respect ko daikhne ke baad he unhe ye position di hai... Janha ek ki maut ke baad dusri ko move karna tha]
Game master ne carnival ki shuraat se he uske sab target ko select karna shuru ker diya tha. Previous stages ke game masters ki tarha wo uski authority ke nashe mein andha nahi huwa tha aur uske brain ka use ker raha tha.
Aarav: [I have to admit, that was a clever move! Ab Caroline ek battle type nahi hai to uske liye king ko ek strike mein khatam karna possible nahi ho ga aur Becky ki death se usko kuch seconds mil gye hai Caroline ke shock ke kaaran aur ye hamare liye ant bhi ho sakta hai aur hum kuch ker bhi nahi sakte the]
Yoo-Jung: [Aarav...! Ab kya karne wale ho tum?]
Aarav abhi Tinkerbell se baat ker he raha tha ke usko Yoo-Jung ki awaaz sunayi di. Yoo-Jung Aarav se kuch karne ke liye nahi keh rahi thi. Usko already pura vishwas tha ke Aarav kuch ker raha hai.
Aarav (Sigh): [Main tumhari aur Aakash ki tarha ek born genius nahi hu... Lekin uska ye matlab nahi ke main kuch bhi nahi karne wala...! *Smile* Lekin ek cheez mere paas hai to wo hai meri Instinct aur meri overpowered prowess...!]
Aarav: [Ye he ke mujhe yanha kisi per bhi bharosa nahi karna chahiye aur khud kadam uthaane chahiye hai!.... Aur main ne wo uthaye bhi hai]
[Unique Ability (Soul Binding) Activated]
[You have successfully bound Caroline's soul]
[The target is weaker than you]
[You can now control her actions and move her as you wish]
Caroline: Ughhhh ~
Caroline ka ek haath achanak he khud se uske paas rakhi sword per chala gaya aur usne sword ko utha liya. Uske saath he Caroline bhi hosh mein aa gayi. Lekin khud ki body ko yun move karte daikh wo hairaan ho gayi.
Tinkerbell: [Huh, Ye tum ne kab kiy- Wait... Sword dete huwe tum ye ker rahe the kya?]
Tinkerbell ne jaise he ye ehsaas huwa wo khud he hairaan ho gayi. Aarav ne Caroline ko sword dete huwe uski soul ko bind ker diya tha. Kyu ke Aarav per Caroline ko vishwas tha to usne Aarav ko unintentionally he ye karne de diya tha.
[Time Remaining: 26 Seconds]
[Move Confirmed]
[Vengeance (Bishop) → H8]
*Rumble ~*
*Crash*
*BANG*
Caroline ke saamne bhi ek raasta seedhe black king tak ban gaya. Usko ab uske saamne dusri taraf H8 per Black King baitha dikhayi de raha tha aur uske peechd next stage ka locked portal dikhayi de raha tha.
Aarav: [Ye tumhare liye thoda mushkil ho ga! Lekin mere paas wale room hone ke kaaran main ye ker sakta hu... Lekin tumhe thoda bardasht karna ho ga]
Aarav ne Caroline se kaha to Caroline bhi hairan ho ker sochne lagi ke Aarav kya kehna chahata hai?
[Flash Steps]
Caroline: Huh? Aghhhhh...!
Caroline ki body thodi neeche huwe aur uske kadam khud he aage badh gye aur agle he pal wo havaon ke cheedte huwe bhaag rahi thi. Ye Aarav ki speed ke paas bhi nahi thi. Lekin Caroline ke jaise ek non-battle type player ke liye ye bhi bohat badi baat thi.
[Deathly Slash]
*Slashhh*
Black King ke paas pohanchte he Caroline ke haath ne khud sword uthayi aur king ko beech se kaatate huwe aage nikal gayi.
[Black King Eliminated]
[Stage Cleared!]
[Stage: Human Chess]
[Time Remaining: 13 seconds]
[White Team Victory!]
[The Black Team's King has been killed]
[The game has ended]
*Rumble ~*
*Crash*
*BANG*
*Bam*
*Ka-booooom*
Aarav (Shout): Lunaaaa ~
Stage ke clear hote he sab rooms ke beech ki sab deeware toot gayi. Ab sab pieces ek white room ke andar the. Aarav ne chillate huwe Yoo-Jung ka naam liya to sab uski taraf daikhne lage.
Yoo-Jung udhar already uske bow ko uthaya huwe arrow rakhe taiyar khadi huwi thi. Aarav ke kehte he usne ek ke baad ek arrow shoot karna shuru ker diya aur usne udhar black team ke baaki remaining pieces ko bhi maar diya.
Yoo-Jung: Let's Go ~
Yoo-Jung ke kehte he sab next stage ke portal ki taraf bhaagne lage aur seedhe portal ke andar chale gye.
[Stage Cleared!]
[You’ve made it through. Prepare for the next stage]
