It wasn't quiet but it also wasn't loud. It seemed like that there was no ending to this place. There were no walls and there were no roofs but there was a surface the players were standing on. The surface was just very dark blue and it was glowing and it had stars that made constellations.

The area around was like a void that had no ending. The ceiling and the walls looked like they were connected. The players could see stars, constellations, auroras, solar systems, planets and nebulas around them. It was like they were in the middle of a universe away from earth and eliminate.

Poof!

Something popped up in the middle of the crowd slightly above the ground. It was moving up and down like a ghost. No, it really looked liked a ghost. There was someone or a monster who was wearing a white cloth over his body like a ghost. There was also no mouth, nose, eyes or any type of hint that had a face on the cloth.

The gloved hands were visible through the long sleeves of the white cloth and the shoes were visible too below the white cloth that was close to the ground. Dream and George who were right next to each other stared at the unknown ghost calmly. Kassie and Bad were staring at the ghost with complicated expressions.

The ghost, "Players. Welcome to the hunting game" it spoke in a very low voice that made George think of a God who was speaking in his mind. Kassie subconsciously touched her arm that was covered in good bumps.

The man raised its hands and waved it to the air as the cloth slightly went down, "Currently, there are a total of thirty eight players in this dimension. The doors to his game will he closed. Other players that wishes to enter the fifth main door game will be transported to another one" the man spoke in a spooky voice.

Everyone stared at the man. The players looked serious. Unlike what George had experienced back in the third main door game. Most people here looked incredibly dangerous. Perhaps, a little too dangerous for some to handle. George didn't dare and continued to listen.

The ghost looked around the area and lowered back its arm. The man snapped its fingers. Suddenly, black cards started floating up in front of each player's eyes. Everyone grabbed the cards swiftly and stared at the tape that looked like it was needed to pull down. "These cards are important to each player. I will explain the details and the rules will be announced after. Please listen carefully" the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

Everyone started to listen attentively, "The Hunting Game. It is a game where each player would need to hunt. Hunt, find, kill. These are the simple required things to do in the game. Each player is assigned to a player they would need to hunt down. In these cards is the clue to your assigned target. The name, code name, or picture of your target will not be shown in the card" the ghost said and held up a card.

The ghost showed this card to everyone, "When the tapes are pulled down. Make sure that you are the only one to know and see the information. You can not let other players know as they might be your target or the target that is chasing you down. Why? That is because the card shows the ability of the player you are targeting" he said.

He then continued, "It will now show the exact function of the ability. So make sure to stealthily observe every player to know exactly who the ability belongs too. Monsters will be summoned everyday to force players to use their abilities. Natural occurrences will also happen during the game" he said and, "Rules will now be announced—

One, Killing the player that you are not assigned to results to harsh penalty. The penalty aims to kill you immediately.

Two, all players have only five days to hunt down the player they are assigned too. Once the timer is down. All players that have succeeded their hunt will return to the lobby alive and will be treated immediately. The players that has failed their hunt will get eliminated by the game.

Three, monsters that are summoned gets more difficult to kill as the days go on. In day one. There are no monsters. In day two, there are level 1 to 50 monsters. In day three there are level 50 to 100 monsters. In day four there are level 100 to 200 monsters. Finally in day five, monsters unranked monsters will appear.

Four, natural occurrences will appear during the third day of the game. To prevent players from having hidden shelters. A group of workers will observe one player. Once a shelter is created. These workers will immediately destroy this. Punishment is not allowed for the workers.

Five, injuring the player that is after you is allowed due to self defense. However, when the player kills the player that is targeting you when you they are not the player that you are assigned to kill due to self defense will also lead to harsh penalty.

Six, death in the dimension means death in Earth.

Seven, when the target that you are assigned to is killed by a monster or a player. Press your hand above the corpse of the player. The corpse should glow and a ring will he heard that you have successfully completed your task.

Players will be allowed to open their cards when they are teleported to the main dimension. Players, please get ready for teleportation in the next twenty seconds" the ghost spoke and he started to dissolve in the middle into particles. Leaving no traces behind everything became quiet.

Kassie looked towards George and her brother in panic. "What if our target is in our party?!" She yelled in panic only for the trio to hear. George sighed shaking his head. He didn't feel show a sense of emotion however deep inside him his head was in chaos as well. But he was good at hiding it. Dream however looked very chill.

Kassie looked at the two who weren't panicking at all. She used that to calm herself down. That's right. These two are strong and experienced. No need to panic. She chanted  those were in her mind like it was a prayer while closing her eyes as she clenched her fists.

Bad on the other hand seemed to be in the state of thinking. He was thinking of the probability and percentages of him getting the card of Dream, Kassie and George's ability. He was mumbling to himself about how the percentages was very low yet tricky.

Suddenly, their minds became white. Their vision started to become black. "Ring! The hunting game is officially starting. All players in the hobby will be teleported in 3... 2... 1"

Ding dong!

"Destination has been reached. Six day duration has been started. Survive until the end of the fifth day"
