6 Train

Adam followed the arrow on his watch walking around the large forest for ten minutes, he looked around the forest while following the arrow and saw a couple of dozens of corpses around the forest that was killed in gruesome ways "The contestants this year are very very bloodthirsty."

Adam looked towards his watch as the arrow pointed straight ahead, he looked towards where the arrow was pointing and saw the end of the forest "look at that it brought me to the end of the forest is that the way out?"

Adam slowly walked towards the end of the forest while taking a peek at his watch a couple of times making sure that he's going the right way, as he was about to step out from the forest the arrow on his watch quickly turns and pointed towards his left.

"Whoa, so the exit is inside the forest? Not at the edge of the dome?" Adam scratched his head and followed the arrow on his watch, he walked in a very straight line through the forest following the arrow while avoiding a couple of trees that was on his way. Four minutes after walking in a straight line Adam stopped right in front of a large stone as the arrow on his watch turns into a black ball that quickly covered his watch turning it pitch black.

BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! Adam watch rang a couple of times as parts of the large stone that was in front of him shook for a couple of seconds, a large chunk of the rock slowly went down inside the ground and revealed a small dark room inside of it.

BEEP! Adam watch rang one more time as he quickly looked towards it, a line of words that was colored in green appeared on his watch and said "Enter the rock to exit the dome."

"Okay." Adam puts his hand down as he walked inside the small dark room, the chunk of the stone that came down to the ground slowly raised on its own and trapped Adam inside the small pitch-black room.

As the stone fully shut a bright light turned on right on top of Adam revealing the small metal room that he was in, he looked around the small room and saw reflections of himself on the shiny walls of the cold metal room.

The room shook for a second and slowly went downwards, Adam leaned back to the wall that's right on the opposite of the elevator entrance while crossing his arm.

One minute passed by as the elevator stopped, Adam quickly stands up straight while staring at the elevator door that slowly opened downwards on its own.

"Congratulations Adam for passing the test, you are now officially a contestant for The King Game. Please follow me and I will bring you to your apartment." Karina greeted Adam as she stands right in front of the elevator door.

Adam walked out of the elevator and followed Karina who walked towards her right side walking towards a small concrete hallway that has a very bright white light in the middle of the roof every couple of meters.

"Do every contestant get an apartment for themselves after they pass the test?" Adam asked as he looked towards Karina who is walking right in front of him.

"Yes, every contestant will receive an apartment for themselves after they pass the test," Karina answered as she stopped in front of a large red door that has a sign in the middle of it that has a picture of a train, she slowly pushed the heavy door outwards revealing a small underground train station with the tracks on her right side.

Adam walked through the metal door that Karina is holding for him and looked around the small underground train station that has a similar platform on the other side of it.

Karina walked past Adam who is looking around the underground station and stands in the middle of the platform right behind a thick yellow line while staring at the other side of the platform.

Adam looked over towards Karina and quickly ran towards her, he stopped right beside her and looked towards the platform on the other side as a sound of a train horn came from Adam's right side.

Adam quickly looked towards his right as he saw two large round white lights inside the large round hole from the end of the platform, a shiny silver train went out from the hole with great speed and passed by both of them while blowing them with a strong wind. The train slowed down as a train car stopped right in front of both of them.

The train doors opened on their own as Karina walked inside the train with Adam right behind her who quickly followed her, Karina sat down on one of the orange chairs that were right beside the train door and Adam sat down right beside her.

The doors suddenly closed on its own and the train starts moving, Adam looked around the train car that both of them are on and saw that there was no one inside of it "Are we the only one that is riding this train?"

"Yes because you are the first one that passed the test from that test area, right before we left there were a couple of other contestants that were about to finish the test but they told me to bring you to your apartment first that's why we're the only one in this train," Karina explained while looking towards Adam.

"Ah okay do every contestant get a guide as I do?" Adam asked as he looked towards Karina.

"Yes, every contestant that comes to The Kings Game will get a guide exactly just like me," Karina answered while looking towards Adam.

"What do you mean by exactly just like you?" Adam asked while raising one of his eyebrows under the mask.

"Every contestant will receive a Karina as their guide, Karinas are clones that the Kingdom made as a guide for the contestants to make things easier around here," Karina explained while looking towards Adam.

"Clones? Wow just like what I imagine The Kings Game can do. It would be pretty difficult for us to communicate with each other when we're around other contestants right? Because everyone would have their own Karinas." Adam asked as he looked towards the roof of the train.

"The older Karinas have told me that those things will happen and there's not a lot of things that we can do about that, so I will do my best to make sure that doesn't happen to both of us," Karina explained as she looked towards Adam.

"Can I change your name, Karina? I think that would make things way easier for both of us." Adam asked as he looked towards Karina who is staring at him.

"Yes, you can change my name if you want to there are no rules of naming your Karina." Karina smiled as she answered.

"Well then from now on your name will be Alice," Adam said with a smile under his mask as the train stopped, Adam looked towards a small widescreen that was on top of the train car door as it displayed Downtown-D that was colored in red.
