Interactions

As soon as Jack opened his eyes, he found himself at the end of a giant hallway. As soon as he came to his senses, his ears were attacked by the loud sound of the crowd, as the whole hall was filled to the brim with players. He noticed a symbol in the middle, saying S4. He assumed that was the hall number. He then chose to look around. With so many people here, he should have felt at ease compared to before, but he felt nervous, if anything, and why do they have to be so damn loud?

Sighs "There goes my peace," he says as he starts walking forward in the hallway, trying to locate where he was meant to go. He tried to walk through the huge crowd in the hallway somehow without bumping into anyone. Just when he thought he made it, someone else walked past him and bumped into him as he looked at that person.

The man was no older than 20; he had spiky hair, almost like someone had taken a paintbrush and made it a hairstyle; his eyes were crimson red; and he somehow emanated an aura of authority. "Watch where you are going, fuckin donkey," the man said as he looked down on Jack and walked away.

Before Jack could even recover from that, he suddenly heard a sound. In the middle of the hallway, a giant screen appeared. As a voice started speaking,.

"I congratulate you all for completing the tutorial. I am one of the administrators responsible for your planet, but for now, I am the one responsible for these test matches. Don't consider yourself special just because you are the bare minimum to be alive. You may all refer to me as Z. Now the important part." The voice spoke as the screen showed what appeared to be a giant colosseum. "You all will make teams of 4, and matches will begin according to brackets until we are down to our last 1000. After which, the matches will be individual. All your actions, strength, defense, utility, leadership, and teamwork will determine how many points you get per match. Those with the highest points will become the 10 selected players to be in the game master's deck; the others will go through another training session. Best of luck! You have 30 minutes to make a group of four." As soon as the voice was done speaking, the screen turned off, and suddenly a panic ensued. Everyone wanted the best teammates, but nobody knew what was good or bad as of right now. 

Way too many people approached him due to his shiny armor, which no one else in his hall seems to have, but he slipped away somehow. Why? Well, he was the only one who could read people's skill trees. So he kind of knew who he would want to team up with. That being said, he realized how fucking desperate people are; it almost made him feel bad. Almost. 

He simply sighed and kept looking until his eyes finally landed on a certain group. There seemed to be only three of them, so he had a good chance. As to why he chose them, their skills were far better than those of most other people he had read about as he walked towards them.

"Uh, do you need a member?"

"No" and "yes," two of the group's members spoke at the same time, making him sigh. Finally, the third member was a man of tall stature. His face could be considered rather handsome, honestly, and, of course, not more than Jack. Anyway, that man spoke up. "Yes, we do need another player. I am the current team leader, and I hope you don't have a problem with that." 

"Nah, it's fine, so can I squeeze in your team?" He asked with as friendly of a smile as he could have pulled off without starting to look creepy as the man nodded. "Sure, we need another member, and your armor seems cool. My name is Dustin, by the way, and these two are my teammates. Toki and Hana"

He finally turned his eyes to the other two. One of them seemed to be a man in his early twenties with aqua-blue eyes and long black hair. He had a cheeky smile on his face. "Nice to meetchya," he said, only somehow annoying Jack further.

As for Hana, she was very reserved. She was not shyly reserved but rather annoyedly reserved, as there was a certain hint of annoyance on her face. He then looked at Toki and realized why. The woman was a bit taller than Toki and was smoking a cigarette. Her most differentiating character was her hair. It was a shade of green that was mostly seen among the plants as he nodded towards her, deciding not to speak more than necessary. 

They thought about discussing their skills but realized everyone was still near them. So in the end, they only ended up waiting for the matches to begin.
