HIDE&SEEK

In a white open space that seems to have no borders, or concepts of up and down, an unconscious man was floating, in the great nothingness. The man was not young, nor was he too old; He looked about 28-30, brown hair clear skin, the only things he was wearing were a whiter T-shirt and a pair of red boxers. The man could be described as somewhat handsome he had a distinct jawline and well-proportioned face, well built with the just right amount of muscles so that he would seem ripped but not over the top jacked. The man was floating in the great void for what seem to be an eternity when suddenly he furrowed his brow.

„UGH, my head." He said while clutching his head, the pain was so unbearable that even until that moment the man has yet to open his eyes and see where he was and what was happening around him.

After about 13 minutes of excruciating headache the pain seem to subside, the man's wrinkled brow smoothed out and he finally opened his eyes.

„WHERE THE HELL AM I!!!!!!"

Right after his scream a game like panel appeared in front of him:

{*DING*}

{ WELCOME CONTESTANT No 11}

{ you have been given the greatest honour of participating in the game created by the most pristine of deities, Swien, the purpose of this game is to alleviate the boredom of the mighty creator. So make sure that you give it your 10 000% to please the exalted one.

Now the terms of the game are simple:

1) you will be transported to a world directly managed by the supreme one, that world is your typical fantasy world of sword and magic.

2) You shall be tasked with the duty of creating and managing a Dungeon, the winner of the game is the one who can last the longest before having their dungeon conquered. You each will be given a location and 3 floors free of charge ( note: any future modifications as well as the purchase and training of the guardian units a.k.a. monsters, shall depend on the contestants themselves.) You each will be given 100 gold coins for your initial operations (the gold is the same type of currency that is used outside the dungeon, the world's currency has been unified, so you will be able to use the gold acquired outside the dungeon in its operations and vice versa) and a basic starter pack which will include 100 units of every basic resource: food, water, wood, stone, iron. Further acquisition of sed resources, and the more advanced versions, shall be the responsibility of the contestants themselves.

3) In case your dungeon is conquered you shall die, both in this world and your original one.

4) Your dungeon name formula shall be your name+ dungeon type. (note: you can change your name before the construction of your dungeon begins.)

5) The same rules, of power acquisition, as the ones in the world outside your dungeon, shall also apply to the contestants.

6) each of the contestants shall be given a unique skill as their start up bonus.

7) The supreme one shall not directly interfere with the contestants besides the initial transfer from their worlds.

8) the winner shall have all of his/her possessions appraised and monetised to the single highest monetary value in their original world and all of his gold, possessions shall be converted into gold, shall be converted to that currency.

9) All of the winner's skills shall be reclaimed and the winner shall be compensated in form of skill points which he/she will be able to spend according to their own choosing.

10) The time in your original world has stopped the moment you disappeared and shall resume after the completion of the game, you shall not age in the new world.

Following these simple terms make sure that it is you who shall claim the wining spot, your freedom and your life.

Oh and there is only 1 rule: do everything to win.

„What the fu#k is this!?" Said the unnerved man. But before he could continue he noticed a row of flashing symbols in the corner of his vision. When the man concentrated on them their names were highlighted, and they were:

{Shop}

{Dungeon}

{Stats}

{skills}

[Help]

{Mail}

Of all of these symbols every, except for help, were blinking.

„Hmm, ok calm down, calm DOWM. This is a dream, it definitely is a dream there is no way something like this can be real. I'll close my eyes and when I wake up I will be in my bed and everything will be normal." The man took a deep breath closed his eyes and tried to force himself" awake". Unfortunately no matter how long he tried to „wake himself up' IT HAD NO EFFECT ON HIS CURRENT SITUATION. So after about an hour of his useless struggle the man finally came to turn with his reality. „OK!!! Let's stay calm and composed." With a composed mind the man focused on the tab again. The first tab that he opened was" Help" What appeared in front of him was a live chat option. Without any hesitation the man concentrated on it.

„How are you doing sir my name is Zeus how can I help you?"

„Yes hi I'm great...I was wondering if you could help me with something"

"Yes sir no problem how can I be of service"

„well see the one thing I would like to ask of you us to.... GET ME OUT OF HERE"

„Alright sir are you sure want to quit?"

„YES SEND ME BACK"

„Alright sir we will do everything we can."

„Yes... thank you?"

„Yes sir that's why I'm here for, ok please make sure to enjoy your afterlife."

„ Ok Ok... wait afterlife? Wait wait!!!"

„ yes sir? Is there anything I can help you with?"

„WHAT DO YOU MEAN AFTERLIFE?"

„Well sir you see the only way for any of the contestants to go back to their original worlds is to claim victory for themselves, the only other way is in a body bag."

„ I see well thank you I would like to cancel that me quitting thing sorry for bothering you."

„ Yes sir thank you very much for contacting us don't forget to rate our customer support."

After that the man looked through the other blinking tabs, all of his stats were at 10 and he had 50 free stat points, he decided to postpone assigning his stat points so that he wouldn't make an uneducated decision. In shop he could purchase different mobs, weapons, floors, environments, skills etc. Dungeon tab was empty. And in the mail tab he got gold, wood, metal, stones, and a catalogue of all available unique skills. After examining everything the man went into a deep thought for about 45 minutes and then suddenly he opened his eyes, in them there was a glimmer that was not there before, from his shaking and confused stare it became focused and determined.

„So... let us begin" he said apathetically.
