Chapter 36: The game is revealed

( thanks to storio for the power stones, one extra chapter for you )

however if you won, you gained multiple people to command or who owned you a favor for a later date and got 20 percent of all the bets placed on that round.

and if you place a bet on the correct person you would get a split of the remaining 50 percent if you betted on the game

and a split of the remaining 60 percent if you betted on the round.

the player gets 20 percent, the overseer, playmaker and host get a split of between each other of 20 percent on every round and the remaining 60 percent is for the people who won their bet on rounds instead of betting on the game

50 percent split amount those who bet on the game. splitting 50 percent between people might not seem like much but it truly was

after all not everyone who bets, bets on the right player and of those who bet on the right player compared to those who lost, the number pales in comparison so they have a huge amount of wealth to split among themselves.

of course how much you get of the split depends on how much the bet that you put in is worth. the more valuable it is the more that you get back if you win and if you lose well you get nothing back.

(lol took time explaining how bets worked as it will be a frequent thing appearing in later chapters so it is necessary that i lay down what it is first here and now, even though it might take up too much and seem a bit boring to read, had to be done now we continue the story)

after wayne explained how bets worked and everyone understood the rest of the people lining up to become players had already finished signing up max included.

there were a special place for the players to sit at, as there was no one who could use their ability to broadcast the scene on a big screen a huge hologram was set up and it displayed the events taking place in mid air just incase anyone wanted to view it that way, however it was unnecessary as the stage where the event happened was very close to everyone watching unlike if it was in a big arena or something like a football stadium.

" okay ladies and gents everything is set and ready, let the bets begin " wayne said after confirming that the playmaker was ready

evelyn went and sat elegantly on her majestic looking chair, which was the big chair in the middle as the overseer was the person with the most power and authority during bets.

" lets begin !" the crowd cheered in excitement

" first match up, round 1 all players who wish to participate please come up to the stage " wayne spoke as he looked at the players

" are you gonna take this round " sophie asked as she sat next to max, she too was playing

"no, lets wait and see maybe the last round " max said back to her

max and sophie watched as some of the players around them went up to take place in round 1

after every player that wanted to take this round was accounted for wayne continued

" good we have 12 players, a perfect number for you to bet upon happily, which one is looking lucky for you i wonder. Okay!! those betting on rounds choose your players, prepare your bets and take them down to the playmaker. remember the bigger you bet the more you earn "

a few people among the crowd who believed in their luck and wanted to risk it big for greater rewards came down from their seat and went to the playmaker with their bets, some had a boxes filled with money, some took out their treasures and placed them down after the players introduced themselves and their strong points

" who do you think is gonna win " sophie asked max

" i have no idea, i don´t even know what the game that they will be competing on is " max replied

" well i think the player with the blue armor might win, he looks so strong and fierce plus he has magnetic manipulation, the rest of them don't have long range abilities so he should be fine" she said back

max looked at the player she was talking about, the player had a set of blue armor and an imposing figure, he truly looked mighty and capable max guessed that he was a favorite to win among the crowd.

just as he was about to reply the saw the playmaker walk up to the host wayne and presented three sealed envelops, wayne looked at the three carefully his hand went to reach for the second one but suddenly took the third one

" this one " wayne whispered

the playmaker stood to the side after he handed the envelope over, wayne lifted it up and showed it to the crowd

" here it is " he paused dramatically

" this right here will decide if those who bet will lose everything or win big and for the players this will decide if you win or you lose, are you ready for the game to be revealed? " he asked and then slowly and carefully open it up

after opening it he took out a white slip of paper looking at it and put on a shocked face, the crowd was tense and some tried to stand up and peer over to see what was written on the slip off white paper

after a while of hanging the crowd wayne finally turned it over

" touch the sun " max read the content that was written on the slip of paper and was confused but heard gasps around, " do you get it " he asked sophie

" no idea but it seems hard" she said to him

what did it mean by touch the sun max wondered
