"Yangyang, I think going here was a bad idea." Sungchan said as he stared at his Chinese friend.

They were currently on the rooftop of one of the buildings in the Underworld and Sungchan was high key regretting his life decisions.

"Sungchan don't tell me this is your first time joining the Golden Deal." Mark said as he side eyed his friend. "C'mon my dear cousin I think it'll be fun~"

"Bitch its only fun when we aren't about to die." The tallest rolled his eyes.

Yangyang chuckled and looked down eyeing the other participants until he noticed someone oddly familiar.

"Yo is that— isn't that the weird quiet kid at school?" He said out loud earning the attention of his friends.

"You mean Jeno?" Xiaojun asked. "Yeah, Lee Jeno. It looks like he's not participating." Yangyang said staring at the male who had his arms crossed while sitting on a random barrel.

"Then what is he doing here?"

Suddenly a loud beeping sound was once again heard indicating the start of the game. Yangyang grinned, "Yo let's go. Since ya'll don't wanna participate let s go to the free zone."

"What the hell is a free zone?" Mark asked, confused.

"A place to unwind. Killing isn't permitted there and besides I work there." Yangyang said as he jumped off the roof landing on one of the balconies on the other building. "We'll take the stairs." Jaemin said.

"Hyung I'll have to part ways with you here. Sol hyung asked me to cover for him. I'm going to be taking care of a transaction." Winwin said as he made a sharp turn towards the opposite direction.

Taeyong was jumping roof to roof as he ran away from the crowd, ten minutes were up and now he was a good 3 miles away from the starting point. How is it possible to be run three miles in ten minutes? Well they didn't run for the most part, Jungwoo used one of his race cars, Renjun went through the maze of illusions, Johnny and Ten were somehow together while using the zip line, Hansol used his motorcycle, Taeil used his gadgets to go invisible, Hendery went undercover and him and Winwin used the water system, of course the water was clean.

Now he was alone, his clothes were soaked as he tried to make his way towards the Underworld's very own forest. Of course its not an ordinary forest, similar to the suicide forest, THE forest was where all the corpses of the previous Golden Deals, the traitors, well at least the unrecognizable once which was majority of the deaths.

This forest was also filled with traps and cameras, and no one really goes here unless their actually brave enough or just plain lost. Taeyong was panting as he reached the entrance of the forest, his nostrils being assaulted by the horrid scent of rotten flesh and blood. He slowly walked towards the center of the large forest, being extra cautious as he might set up a trap that may cost him his life.

Heaving deep and quiet breaths as to not alert the wild creatures that Hendery let loose in the forest. He saw a river a few meters to his right and he was hella thirsty but he had to stop himself from drinking the water, why? Because first of all this is literally a corpse forest, second Hendery released wild creatures, and by wild creatures it means exotic and by exotic it means experimentally made creatures.

Human trafficking was a thing that the black market does, but there was a time where the tech zone and the black market worked together to create unrealistic creatures some were as unrealistic to the point that they were mythical such as sirens and hybrids.

Hybrids weren't sold in the black market as Hendery thought they had gone through so much suffering so hybrids were now working at the black market instead of being sold. Sirens weren't sold as they were too dangerous, the more dangerous sirens were kept in the forest while the tameable ones were distributed throughout the underworld's factions as assistants and another line of defense.
