The scene opens up to our protagonist somewhere within the Forest, scavenging the area for resources.

A flashback occurs on how he got into this mess in the first place. Everybody world wide was eagerly watching as they announced the "70th Game of the 4Corner Game". Everyone cheered as if it was another sports tournament.

The event organizers revealed each player from each corner, in the Red Corner we have our Main Protagonist Dalvern Scott, a man who has been waiting eagerly for this moment his entire life as he's finally able to join the 4Corner Game. He'd watched every Episode of the 4Corner Game on his television for his whole life and finally being able to play is his dream come true.

The Event Organizers announced the Reward of $8,000,000 Platinum Coins. They've also announced that only 4 Players could win the prize money. This made everyone who was participating to start forming their groups, not surprising that **Dalvern** would do the same. Soon enough the Event Organizers announced that the game is starting and to head inside their assigned Corner.

Dalvern heard the announcement that the game is starting, he panicked on the thoughts of him being alone and rushed to find someone who was willing to team up with him. He saw a stranger who looked dazzling walk alone without a group, so he immediately approached him to ask if he would willingly team up.

Dalvern: Hey-hey there, I'm Dalvern but you could call me Dalv. Would you perhaps like to team up? *He asked the stranger in front of him.*

*The Stranger looked at him with disgust.*
???: If you think I would team up with a loser like you, then you could keep dreaming. Besides I don't like to team up with Commoners.

He pushes Dalv out of his way, and he drops to the floor. Dalv is pissed and was about to teach this guy a lesson but was immediately stopped by a girl.

Girl: I wouldn't do that if I were you.

Dalv: Huh? Why? He clearly needs to be taught a lesson, you saw what he did to me.

Girl: I did. Look just, don't do what I think you'll be doing, otherwise you'll be the first one out.

Dalv: Woah there, aren't you immediately underestimate my skills, trust me I can defeat him without a sweat!

Girl: Isn't your ego a bit too high? Besides you still wouldn't stand a chance, he's the kind of guy you'd want to avoid if you don't wanna get eliminated. Do you understand.

Dalv: *He sighs.* I understand...

Dalvern was  annoyed that his skills were being underestimated, so he disregards her warning and tries to give him a talking.

The Scene then shifts when the game had started 20 minutes ago, Dalvern finally finds the guy and confronts him about what he did earlier. Unfortunately the Stranger wasn't willing to listen or care for what he had to say, so he resulted in violence.

A Large explosion can be heard from afar as we Dalv on the ground with a sword being pointed at his neck. The Stranger tells him how pathetic he is for even trying to eliminate him. He told him how his skills were really pathetic to the point it couldn't even be considered as a skill. This enraged Dalvern even more and tried to attack but as soon as he tried to move, the stranger sliced his other eye off.

His screams can be heard from every direction as the Stranger just looked at him. The Stranger was impressed that he barely dodged his sword that was originally aiming for his neck to finish him off for good, though it didn't matter as the Stranger is preparing to strike again until the girl from earlier attacked the Stranger and dragged Dalv a few Meters away from the Stranger. Dalvern is still screaming from the pain so she used her magic to reduce the pain on his cut eye significantly.

The Stranger looked at her with an annoyed expression.
???: What do you think you're doing Eve. *He said with his menacing voice.*

The girl(now known as Eve) is terrified and looks at Dalvern
Eve: You Idiot, I told you not to go and fight him. Just run as far away from here, I'll distract him.

Dalvern doesn't know why She's helping him but he still runs as fast as he could, just what she told him to do.

The scene shifts to the present day as our protagonist Dalvern finally gathered enough resources to make himself a proper weapon. It's been 2 days since what had happened to him, and this has killed his spirit in playing the game. He thought for so long that he'd Ace this game just for him to be proven wrong. He knows that eventually he'll die and if it's not by the hands of others, it'll be by the hands of that guy.

The Speakers then turned on to announce 28 Players have been eliminated from the Red Corner. After the announcement, Dalvern packed up his stuff and prepared to go hunting as once the 75 Players got eliminated, the next zone would open up and if he could get there first he might get some amazing loot.
