*Panting*....*Everything happened too fast, everything was upside down...Everything was lost... A girl with dark hair was running and jumping windows, while she was carrying a strange stick, a piece of bamboo that would serve her as a weapon to defend herself from the danger that lurked in the abandoned hospital. There was blood everywhere, there were bodies, bodies of previous colleagues who tragically were seriously injured to the point of collapse. They were still breathing, and once this round was over, everything would return to normal in the Loteous Manor. The black-haired woman soon began to get tired, so she quickly hid under a table, trying to catch her breath....Her lips tightening, her eyes feeling heavy and her heart beating rapidly due to the adrenaline that her body was releasing. She placed her bamboo to the side, moving one of her hands towards her wounded arm, which was currently oozing a metallic red liquid, blood... A wound deep enough to cause pain and leave the victim tired and helpless, but not enough to kill them. She stayed under the table for a few minutes, thinking about how to get to the dungeon so she could get out of this place.*

*Wosh!*

"What was that?" *The young woman asked herself, taking a look out of the corner of her eye, paralyzing herself when she heard how the wind soon began to make sudden,rough sounds, almost like a roar...She knew who it was...It was that hunter who ended her team without mercy, and she was the last one left...Qi, was the name of the young woman, an Asian girl who arrived at a mansion full of dangers and games that could kill her, but "that" letter promised her something, and she wouldn't leave until she won and went through all the games this mansion had to offer.*

*Out of nowhere, silence was present, leaving the young woman confused and at the same time anxious... Maybe it was setting a trap for her, yes... That must be it, Qi thought. The silence each time caused the young woman to tense up, holding her breath and squeezing the wound on her arm, trying to stop the bleeding and prevent her breathing from revealing her position. The pain in her arm was slowly killing her, but she had to stay calm and keep pressure on that area, knowing that she had to stop the bleeding...Otherwise she would feel more dizzy and weak.*

...

*The minutes passed and nothing...Not a sound, not a breath...Which left the young woman confused...She then accidentally let a gasp come out of her mouth, which caused a strong breeze of wind to drag her from her hiding place. Her eyes widened, her body tensing and reacting on instinct, trying to cling to what was close to her, but to no avail. Qi reached for her bamboo, hitting the hunter right in the face, squeezing her eyes together.*

*Crack!*

*Upon hearing that sound, she opened her eyes, feeling that strange dust fell right into one of her eyes, causing a slight moan of discomfort to leave her lips. She narrowed her eyes, and once she regained her sight, she saw the hunter perched right on top of her, looking directly into her eyes... Looking at her with those icy-blue eyes... Being completely open, his brow furrowed and his lips somewhat wrinkled. Qi held her bamboo in front of her, but thanks to her exhaustion, it was difficult to react in time, and now she found herself being choked, the furious hunter's hands tightening around the fragile girl, leaving red marks around her skin. Qi began to kick, struggling to free herself, but everything was in vain, the hunter seemed furious after having broken their mask...And they didn't seem to want to let go of her at any time.*

"Let go of me!" *Qi gasped, her breathing beginning to become heavy, her wound beginning to leak more blood. She felt her vision begin to blur little by little, until she was finally released, her body falling and hitting the ground hard. Strands of her black-wavy hair covered her face, which was bleeding slightly... Regardless of her position, she tried to get up, not wanting to give up and let the hunter think they won.* "S-Stay back you-..Little shit.."

*The scene was really interesting for the hunter, but his anger was still present, he tried to cover his face with his hood and strands of hair, seeming unsure of wanting to show his face...The albino looked at her, being somewhat...Fascinated. Seeing the bravery that this woman possessed, he was being used to his victims simply begging and screaming... But she didn't... She was even threatening him... A brave woman, a fighting spirit, and great physical strength....Who did she remind him of?? The young albino began to have memories of the past, but he quickly erased them from his head and with one blow, he did that the young woman hitted the ground again, but this time making her faint.*

"How pathetic..." *The hunter whispered...He uncovered his face, revealing a handsome young man with well-defined features...Long wavy- white hair, ice blue eyes, snow-white skin, and somewhat dry pink-lips. The young adult had a name, Ithaqua, but he was known and called for being the "Night Watch"... He leaned down, sitting on his knees and then took the young woman's arm, examining it and seeing the wound that was still bleeding... He didn't know why, but this woman made him feel strange... This woman reminded him of someone who he ever come to love and protect with all his life...But..Who? And why she? He didn't know or understand, but this feeling felt...Warm.*
