A look at a desperate man

"So what do we start with?"-Jack

[]Well host, there are a few different rewards, so we will go through them together as some are decision based[]

"Great, let's start"-Jack

[]CONGRATULATIONS CANDIDATE 10 FOR WINNING YOUR FIRST CANDIDATE BATTLE YOUR PERSONAL SYSTEM WILL NOW SHOW YOU THE REWARDS YOU HAVE WON REMEMBER TO CHOOSE WISLEY[]

"God, that game system sure is loud"-Jack

[]Indeed host, but let's get to yout rewards[]

[]You have won the battle between candidate 1, who declared war on you for this, you have the option to choose what will happen to said candidate[]

"..Well I knew this was coming, and can you just tell me the options"-Jack

[]Yes, host as there are many I will show you the top 5[]

[]1.death[]

[]2.torture and death[]

[]3.imprisonment[]

[]4.destruction[]

[]5.enslavement[]

"Um..aren't most of these the same thing just death and worse death?"-Jack

[]Well, host most candidates usually start fighting later on, and by then, they have changed and adapted to the games so they won't be so merciful[]

[]The other option is they get lucky and deafeat someone right after the trial period, in which case they kill them as fast as possible[]

"Alright, so can you just give a basic explanation for each one"-Jack

[]Well, the first is whatever kind of death you want them to have, such as a heart attack or stage 4 cancer. You decide[]

[]Destruction is what candidate 5 had as his race was killed and then redistributioned among the planet after their release[]

[]They will be destroyed to the last atom as all matter will be destroyed and disposed of this sounds bad, but its painless, which is why its near the bottom[]

[]I skipper the other two because it's for those who have a personal grudge or are very sadistic and like for the lower to suffer before they die[]

[]Enslavement is the more cruel version of what you and candidate 2 have, but where yours is more of a partnership and even a friendship, this is pure control and dominace as the enslaved have no control and typically die soon after[]

"So what me and Nancy have is an option to choose?"-Jack

[]Correct host, but it's very rarely chosen[]

"...I'm not going to give him that chance he doesn't deserve it he wanted to kill me and Nancy by proxy"-Jack

"I can't give up my options for someone like him when it could get me killed soon after this isn't a game for me"-Jack

"I.. i promised Nancy she'd see her kids again, and I'm not about to risk that for some guy who was probably a thief and a murder"-Jack

"But he's still a person, and I don't want him to die in pain, so I choose destruction"-Jack

[]Yes host option chosen proceeding with choice[]

"Wait!"-Jack

[]..Yes host?[]

"Can I be there with him?"-Jack

[]You can host, but may I ask why?[]

"..."-Jack

[]Host?[]

"I just don't want him to die alone"-Jack

[]Understood host teleporting you now to the communication room[]

Jack was sent to his destination and soon arrived in the room he was in with Hector before, and things were very different now. Hector had clearly been sweating and looked to have tried to break out with his fists, bleeding, and bruised.

Jack looked as he was huddled in the coroner of the room looking at the floor, and strangely, he wasn't speaking english.

"System, can he hear me?"-Jack

[]No host, you can decide if he can see and hear you which are both off at the moment[]

"Why can he hurt himself and has stopped speaking english?"-Jack

[]Well, host he has lost he no longer has the need for others to understand him and doesn't need to play so why would we give him protection[]

"Okay..turn both of those things on"-Jack

[]Yes, host, would you like a timer on his imminent destruction?[]

"Just but it on a count down from 60 seconds"-Jack

[]Proceeding host[]

After that, the one-way screen changed, so Hector could see him, and as soon as he did, he ran to attack him. This failed, and they both stared at each other as Hector sweated and raved while Jack watched only an inch of space between them.

Jack didn't take his eyes off of Hector's as he held his hands behind his back to stop Hector from seeing them shaking. Hector continues to bang and scream, even smacking his head against the screen, and spats of blood riddle the floor and screen.

"Dios te desamparará por esto arderás en el infierno y la señora muerte devorará tu alma!"-Hector

Jack didn't speak to him and watched as Hector's body started to fade as light flickered from him like a dying star. Hector saw this, so all he did in his last moments was scream.

After a few seconds, it was only Jack in the room, and his leg shook rapidly as he started at the place Hector once was.All of the blood disappeared with the man himself and Jack was left alone.

[]Would you like to go back to your own space host[]

"..Yes please system"-Jack

Jack then was teleported back to his space, and instead of seeing the gods or an empty room, the only person their was Nancy.

"Come here, sweety, I heard what happened. Do you want to talk about it?"-Nancy

Jack walked over to his couch and sat down by Nancy but didn't say a word while Nancy patted his shoulder.

"It's okay, Jack. You don't need to be made of marble. Just let me know if you want to talk, and I'll be right there"-Nancy

"..Thank you Nancy"-Jack

Jack and Nancy stayed on his leather couch while Jack squeezed his leg, trying to stop himself from crying in front of Nancy.

"System, I think Jack will do his other stuff tomorrow, okay"-Nancy

[]Yes, host. I will communicate this to the candidate 10s system[]

i decided to have a few chill days, so uploads should be going back to normal.

Hopefully, the english to Mexican translation went alright, and I just wanted to show that this wasn't some throw-away decision for Jack.

thanks for reading
