The day appeared to be going smoothly until an unexpected event occurred at the docks. Some dock representatives saw a cruise line arriving slowly but were unable to make contact the crew. When the ship arrived at the docks, they wanted to know why no one was responding. The doors of the cruise ship opened, and a person emerged, stunning bystanders. The person appeared to be in his middle years, with clothes stained in blood and eyes filled with dread and shock. They alerted the police, who arrived and politely asked that person to explain what had happened on the cruise liner. That person gazed at the officer before charging at him with his bare hands, seeking to grab him tightly. Suddenly, the unknown man became unconscious and collapsed. The police officers took him to a neighboring hospital and questioned the doctors why he was acting that way. The doctors said, "This person may have witnessed something traumatic, which has put a lot of pressure on his mind." Meanwhile, other officers examined the cruise liner and discovered several dead bodies. They told the police officers at the hospital about the deceased individuals. When the doctor arrived, the police officers inquired about that person, and the doctor responded, “Don’t worry, I've administered specific medications; he’ll be fine once he wakes up, but it will take a few hours, so you'll have to wait here."

After a few hours the doctor arrived and told the police officers,
“Now you can talk to him, but don’t put too much pressure on him or it will affect his brain." After understanding the doctor's orders, the
cops entered the chamber and met that individual before asking, "How are you feeling right now? Any problems you're now experiencing?" "No, thank you. I'm okay. I apologize for acting that way at the docks, and I want to thank you for your assistance," the man responded. The officer explained, “It was our obligation to assist you. We have some questions for you, and we genuinely hope you will respond to our inquiries so we can solve the cruise ship mystery." "You want to know who I am and why my clothes were stained in blood and why that cruise ship has so many dead bodies on it, didn't you?" questioned the man in question. "Yes, you are correct about that. We want to know everything that happened on that ship because we can't ignore this incident. Please explain this to us," the police officers ordered.
The speaker then stated, "I'll tell you everything, and I need you to
do a favor for me. Tell me what came to your mind when you first
heard the story.” The police agreed and requested him to begin the
story while they sat in the chair.
The individual began to talk after taking a sip of water, saying, "I
want to tell you who I am first. My name is Robert Frost, and I am a businessman. Often, letters from various investors arrive at my door,
but one day, I received a letter informing me that I had won the
lottery and that I would be spending six days and seven nights on a
cruise ship. On the cruise ship, I would have to play a game, and if I
win, I would be awarded a unique prize at the end. I was so excited to
receive the letter that I decided to travel to Chicago and cancel all of my meetings. That day arrived, and as planned, I headed straight to Chicago harbor. There, I spotted a lot of people around the cruise
ship, and I instantly felt like I was behind schedule. While I waited
for the reps, I greeted few people. A little later, someone asked us to
enter the cruise ship, so we did and embarked on our trip. On the
cruise ship I met Harry, a well-known author. Harry and I were
standing on the deck savoring the view when he asked, "Hey Frost, who do you think will win that big prize at the end?” "That is a tricky
question you asked, but hopefully the rightful winner will receive
that," I responded. Harry laughed and said, "Yeah, I knew you’d say
something like that. If there was a wager, I would undoubtedly receive
the money.” We laughed and headed downstairs to see what was going on.
After lunch, we all sat down somewhere and started talking about
ourselves. It was then that I met the most knowledgeable people,
those who have seen the world in person and want to change it.
Suddenly we heard a voice say through the speakers, "Hello my friends, today I am deeply honored to have you all on my humble cruise ship and I hope you will have fun while playing this game, now please follow my assistants to the game zone so we can start this game." Then our host’s assistants asked us to follow them and as we were escorted to a room filled with mirrors and speakers. Then through the speakers, that person through the speakers said,” With your permission, I will begin the game's first level, and as your host, I will accompany you and notify you of the tasks which you will encounter along the way. The lights immediately turned off, and some gas began to flow through the air ducts. We became incredibly drowsy and fell to the ground, where we passed out.
After waking up, I stood alone in the room, that person through the
speakers said, “I see Mr. Frost you are awake and now I request you to start the game and I will explain you what you have to do.” “Where are the others?” I questioned him. “And what would you expect of me? I will get what I want. Now, find the clue and start your task. If you
succeed in it then you will move to the next level," the guy added
laughing. “Isn't it very straightforward to understand? I should have
reminded you that the clue is right here in this room, right next to
you, and it only has to be located. That concludes this conversation;
but, if you complete the level, I will contact you again. In the
meantime, begin playing the game, but proceed with caution—if you do anything nasty or inappropriate, I will probably have to murder you.”
