I forgot why I was here. I only remember opening my eyes to see a gigantic eyeball hanging in the air, its surface crawling with blood vessels. Countless black threads flowed through everyone's hearts.
"W-where is this? Wasn't I out shopping?" "Mom, Dad, I'm scared..." "Damn it, who pulled this prank? Let me go home!" A woman fell to the ground in terror, a child cried helplessly, and a man cursed furiously.
The eyeball shifted. Its blood-red pupil blinked with pleasure, and the black threads danced faster.
"You foolish, lowly insects. You are fortunate to have been brought into this game, where you have the chance to evolve. The preliminary round begins now." The voice paused. "You have three days to survive in the Foggy Forest and eliminate fifty people. Remember, each of you must eliminate fifty people~"
The next second, the eyeball slowly vanished. A forest shrouded in thick fog appeared ahead. The crowd seemed not to have come to their senses yet, staring blankly at one another.
I smoothed my hair and walked toward the forest. The moment the fog enveloped me, the runes on the jade pendant in my hand began to move. I looked back at the crowd and smiled faintly. I knew we had finally escaped that world of lies.
Our story had only just begun.
