Falling for them (love and deepspace X OC )

Join the Game

The massive holographic display makes everything feel strangely unreal.The latest rankings continue to scroll by. The individual in first place has remained unchanged since this afternoon.

"To hold the top spot for so long in such a brutal "hunt"
"... He must be strong." I said

"He's been at the top since last night. He's good, I'll give him that.
Each change in the rankings marks the end of another life." Said sylus

"They know it's suicide, yet they still eagerly rush in... Is that coin really worth it?"

"I see you know a thing or two.But fewer than thirty percent of the participants are there for that coin.In the N109 Zone, what matters more is the desire to hunt, the thirst for bloodshed, the craving for domination..Or a means to prove one's loyalty."He steps away from

the window, and the curtains close behind him.
Through the gap, a red X appears over the first-place portrait before it vanishes forever from the giant screen.

"Based on your experience, how much longer will the hunt last?"

Since the dazzling neon lights have been blocked, my thoughts become clearer.The safest option would be to search under the arena after the hunt ends.

"By the looks of it, the finals will start tomorrow. This stage always ends quickly.It never goes beyond six or seven days.This year's hunt has some extra stakes involved, so the finals will be more intense. It'll be over in two days. After that."He walks to the sofa with measured steps and takes a seat. "The arena will be demolished."

"What?!"

"Many have coveted the arena for years, but its owner isn't as young as he used to be. His grip on power isn't the sameSo, the vultures circling this territory already have a silent agreement in place.
They'll host an "overtime match" once the Zoion Hunt is over."Looks like participating in the Zoion Hunt is my last chance to find the Gaia Research Center.And breaking into the arena by myself is no easy feat Who knows what awaits in the ruins of the research center? I can't waste too much of my energy on fighting.I need an ally.My gaze falls on Sylus who's sitting on the sofa. "Don't even think about it, kitten."

"You've been watching the hunt unfold from the sidelines. Don't tell me you haven't been plotting something."

"Are you implying you're the one who has all the schemes Pretending to threaten him, I playfully pin him down on the sofa."

"You said you don't mind me using you.And right now, I really want to use you so l can get into the arena.It's not like you'll lose if you join. It's a win-win situation, right?"

"If you want to drag me into this, flattery and tricks won't be enough. I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint you, kitten. I have guests to meet, so I can't join you in your gladiator game.

"Who?"

There's a knock at the door. Luke and Kieran, who had left the gaming pods, have returned. Their voices come through from the other side.

"Boss, our people just delivered their report. We've taken care of all the goods EVER brought this time." Kieran said.

"Leave a few alive. There's no need to be too thorough." Sylus said

"Yes, sir."

Then luke speaks "There are a few troublemakers in the area, Boss. Can we-"

"Do as you please."

"Thank you, Boss!"

"Your guests are from EVER?" I asked

"They came all the way here, saying they have a profitable deal to discuss. How could I not play the role of a gracious host?" Sylus said
