Bloodmarked

Caius stood there still frozen watching Ravien spread his cockiness all over the room, the last teammate of Ravien stood there in terror after what Ravien did to Kyra and Luca. "So what, gonna kill me now so you can pass on to the next round?" Caius said with a smirk, taking his dagger swirling it then looking at Ravien "No, i dont need a reason to kill you, you.. you seem fun to fight along with, so.." Ravien said as a choking sound occuring after that loud silence that was in that room. The last guy stumbled a little before falling down on Raviens feet.

Ravien bent down then took his dagger out of the guys throat and cleaned it with his shirt before speaking up "Poor Bastard, had a sad story with something like promising his mother to take them out of the poverty and some shit, it was sad but theres no fun in that. It had to be done afterall, he was just a puppet not a fighter, not someone who deserves to live." Ravien talked, his tone like everything is a Circus show and he's the Jaster in there, entartaining people with his bloodbaths.

[All remaining contestants, please pass the gates]

A voice, beautiful man voice spread through the room, finally they could leave this room full of blood, weapons and parts of bodies that were cut off. "Well then Shadow guy should we pass on to the next round, see what they expect from us now?" Ravien said smilingly, his smile was not ordinary though. He was a Jester and this was his Circus show, he owned it. In his eyes he did there was nothing i could do to stop him now, he even consumed me and made me his puppet now. "What are your powers Ravien, i couldnt quite catch it" I said, tone cold colder than it ever was "We have the same powers if you didnt notice it." Ravien said, putting his Dagger away in his backpocket as he made his way to the gate that was now opened, light shining so brightly it could probably make you go blind if you stared at it, like lights leading to Heaven.

"Oh and Caius, dont be so cold its time for the fun to begin, we dont know what is waiting for us out there but just know, this is most likely nothing compared to what will happen out there." Ravien said eyeing me from the side as he vanished into the light leaving the Chamber. He was right, we dont know what is out there, we dont but that was another reason for me to kill every piece of emotion i had inside of my body. I needed to get merciless, if i wanted to win and end this never ending cycle of Modern Slavery i had to kill without hesitation, but also watch people get slaughtered, Ally or not.

I followed Ravien's footsteps into the light and as i left it i finally saw it. We weren't fighters and people who were strong, no. No we were worthless so calles 'people' but in reality we were Slaves who were entartaining all these rich, marked and superior People.

[Out of the room No.8 , Caius and Ravien !!]

The announcer's voice screamed and echoed around the arena as the people made some noise for us, they shouted and clapped but i couldnt hear what they were saying. But it didn't seem like we were the favourites, as i glanced to my left i could see 7 different Rooms, from each one there were two left contestants, except room number one. There was a guy leaning on the Gate holding his katana by his side, he was alone no teammate no nothing just him. He seemed unbothered and uninterested in any of those people up there cheering. Then i looked over to my right, two contestants from Room No.9 entered the Arena, terrified as they left they almost started crying since they were already trembling in fear. Announcer didnt even announce them he just said they were contestans from Room No.9 when they entered and that was it. After that, nothing just Silence.

[Congratulations all Contestans who survived the Cleaning part of the Trial and welcome to the Round 1.]

The announcer said, people in the stands silent but what did he mean "The Cleaning part" were all those people who died there just like trash that you can pick up and throw away or leave on the floor to rot.

[Now the system was easy, there were 9 rooms, ranking from Strongest to the Weakest]

"So we are almost the fucking weakest here alongside those ugly bastards over there?" Ravien asked, mad but also in a calm tone

"Just leave it Ravien, they're just playing games with our minds now" i said looking straight at the Recruiter over there standing in the middle of the Arena as Screens flied over to the middle.

[First, you all will need to team up in 3-a-side teams. Then you have 24 hours from now to build up team chemistry, trust and tactic. Because tomorrow, the true bloodbath will begin.]

The Recruiter that was also a Announcer vanished in the smoke as the Screens showed 24:00:00 now. Having a exact date was already a improvement from what they went through in the Chamber.

"Let's see pretty boy, is there someone to pick who could fit us?" Ravien said now standing up to look if there was someone but not even a minute after that announcement of the next challange, teams were built but there was a guy standing in corner, alone and unbothered as creatures from Void surrounded him. He finally stood up made the creatures vanish as he walked over towards us. His white hair flowing with the wind as he came to us "Seems like im your third from now on" He said as he looked at us, he seemed like a person that didnt have some great power inside him but he was rather smart how he used it. "And what makes you think we want to team up with you, Void weirdo" Ravien said chuckling hitting my shoulder as he looked at me then at the guy. "It's not like you guys have options, you are room 8 contestans no one will want to team up with you except maybe room 7 and 9 but thats about it" He said now looking at Ravien almost like damaging his ego.

"Alright so what room are you from then if you are the one who decides who would want where?" Ravien said with a laugh "Are you from room 9 maybe, you sure do look weak" He added before looking at the guy again "Im from Room 3, guy whose life i spared went and teammed up with some guys from room 2" The guy said glancing over to Ravien then to me "Im Silas, as you can see im a member of House of Voids" Silas added before taking my dagger and looking at it for a second then giving it back to me

"Fine then Void weirdo, you're in" Ravien said with a smile but you could see his ego a little damaged "Im Caius and he's Ravien, welcome to the 'Team' then Silas" I stepped forward to give him a hand, having Silas on our side would be a poweful addition to our team.

"Shall we rest a little, we do have a whole day to prepare so a little rest wouldnt hurt" Ravien exclaimed while yawning already making his way to our camp. "Alright then but not too long we have to go over everything" I said as i followed him, Silas beside me walking in sync with me. After a rest of few hours i woke up, Ravien and Silas weren't there when i stood up. I took my dagger, put on my clothes and made my way out to the bar, even then not expecting what could happen when i left but im ready for whatever this thing brings me. I will come out on top and stand on bodies of my allies if that's what's needed to win.
