The Arachne tribe

"Do Not Walk, Keep on Running"

??? POV:

I leaped my way through the steps on this huge floating rock and finally reached its peak, I saw the gate up ahead and let a web out of my wrist, aiming it at the gate's wall.

Pulling it slightly I took a big jump and landed near the gate, taking my web out of the wall as it went back into my wrist.

"Welcome to the first gateway of the Running Man Championship." Startled by the voice I jumped slightly but let out a breath finally knowing it was just the gate talking. "Only the representative of each tribe may enter. Everyone else is prohibited from entering. Please present your participation card."

I reached out for my pocket and pulled out the card.

I insert it into the slot and turned it. Then the gate opens revealing Tree city. "The 7th contestant of the 100th Running Man Championship will now enter."

I stared at the sight in awe and walked inside, the blue sky so beautiful, the air so fresh. Letting out a huge exhale.

What do you expect, my tribe lived in a cave and isolated ourselves from other tribes my reaction is to be expected.

"Please step into the R point." I did as the voice said and stepped into it. Suddenly It moved up. 'Looks like it's scanning me.' I thought.

"Identity verified, Rumi from the Unknown Arachne Tribe." The voice said.

Suddenly it moved again. "Moving to the starting."

It then proceeds to move (more like flying) as I stumbled a little but soon regained my balance.

Finally reaching the docking station I saw the other contestants already on their respective boards. 'I knew I should've woke early.' I thought.

It lead me to the left side. "Docking completed, Rumi from the Arachne Tribe. The game will begin once the players are completed."

I looked around and observed the other players.

The first one was a penguin, he wore an orange onesie with white aglets and with yellow, green, and brown lines at the end of his sleeves, and a matching orange belt. he also had glasses on.

'The peng tribe I guess.'

The second was an apricot lady cat who had long hair tied into a high ponytail and olive green eyes, she wears a dark grey crop top with light grey accents, dark grey shorts, and a dark grey belt with a cyan blue buckle and dark grey thigh-high boots.

'Nyanya tribe, beautiful as ever.'

the third was a Giraffe, his skin yellow with no stripes, he has brown hair cut into a bob with matching brown eyes. he wore a military kind of outfit with colors white, red and yellow, with white matching pants and knee length boots.

'Ahh, the Giraf tribe, I see they're still annoying.'

The next one was a monkey He wears a blue drawstring hoodie over a white shirt, and blue iga-bakama with white bandages wrapped to his knees and black slip-ons. He also wears blue and white striped sweatbands and black gloves.

'Mong tribe.'

Next was a sleeping impala, He wears black-rimmed square glasses though he rarely opens his eyes, which are black dots. and has a staff.

'Is he really what the impala tribe picked?'

Second, to the last was a tiger His outfit consists of dark-gray pants frayed at the bottom with purple gloves and a purple belly band with yellow trimmings tied by red ropes. and he's topless.

'Typical Bar tribe, they really need to wear a shirt.'

A few seconds later the last contestant finally arrived as the voice explained the game. "Each player will wear a randomly chosen item and select their own path. The player who plants their tribe flag on the R Board first is the winner."

The last player's board then docked right next to mine. "Docking complete, Liu from the Bug tribe."

Liu from the Bug tribe looked like a grasshopper, he wore a He wears a bistre-colored shirt with a hood covering his hair, baggy yellow pants with brown circles on the sides, and an orange short-sleeved jacket over his shirt. Connected to his hood is a pair of silver lens caps and he wears bistre-colored boots and brown fingerless gloves.

'Now the game begins.'

Suddenly hologram boxes appeared in front of me as the voice explained the game.

"Choose one of the eight boxes, you may not lose your random item until you pass through the Path of Choice. However, you may exchange the item with another player."

The boxes kept rotating and I finally chose my box just then it went to my feet creating a cyclone thing. Just then the voice spoke. "It's running time."

With a grin, I leaped and went to my path and ran, as I ran the cyclone thing on my feet transformed into slippers...these are not my heels.

With a sigh, I continued my run.

Still running I noticed that Liu had metal boots and is trying his best to run. 'Poor him.' I sighed internally.

I also noticed the tiger from the Bars tribe began to only walk instead of running and it seems the contestant from the Giraffe tribe is planning something manipulating.

And I was right, the guy from the Giraf tribe is manipulating the guy from the Bars tribe into taking off his squeaky shoes in exchange for the giraffe's heels.

I stopped running and watched the scene, 'cause why not?

When the giraffe walked away I thought the tiger didn't fall for his filthy lies but it turns out he did, they began to exchange shoes as I deadpan at the tiger's idiocy.

I once again began to continue running but stopped once I heard a loud "Ow."

I turned around to see the tiger on the floor possibly in pain, just then the monkey came and saw the tiger on the ground but didn't bother and walked passed him.

I glared daggers at the monkey, I mean how could he just leave him there alone!? But then again I did the same thing.

With a sigh, I decided to just follow him behind and see if he can handle it, if he really can't then I'll help.
