INSIDE THE GAME STADIUM

Inside the Game Stadium, where the Creator of the game, his assistant and Meechayah stood.

"You're in the Game Stadium!" The Creator said.

"Hello~" His assistant, Mon greeted Meechayah.

Mon is a cute little girl with wings. She was just an inch tall. She is the assistant of the creator, Arthur.

"Game Stadium? So.. Is that dream real or am I dreaming again?" Meechayah asked.

"If this is a dream or not, it's real." Arthur said.

Meechayah examined the Game Stadium. The stadium stands thirty feet and it consists of three structures: eight black slots for the players, one silver and golden slot for the creator and for his assistant and an outer steel frame around it.

"Why am I here? What is that game all about? Why did Kishen had that dream too?" Meechayah questioned.

"Kishen's been making this game easier huh?" Mon said. "In your dream, only your mission was explained and some rules.." Mon continued. "But it's a game! A game is composed of players. None of you is aware of that. Some doesn't really believe that this game is real while some were focusing on their missions without knowing that they have an opponent or enemy.." Mon flew to Meechayah. "There are eight players in this game. One of the player is you and.."

"One of them is Kishen?" Meechayah interrupted.

"Yes!" Mon confirmed.

"You're not supposed to tell your mission to anyone if you want it to be safe. But Kishen is not aware of that. She even told it to one of her opponents. Greatest opponent I guess?" Mon stopped a bit and examined Meechayah. "You have many advantages Meechayah. Many.. But also.. You have many disadvantages." Mon continued.

"One of your advantage is that the players.. All the players are connected to you." Arthur interrupted.

"You're not supposed to tell her that, Arthur!" Mon complained.

Despite of Meechayah's astonishment, she said, "He's just making the game more easier.. for me." Meechayah half smiled.

"Well.. You're being unfair, Arthur!" Mon yelled.

"We'll call the other players later and explain the game. About the players.. They're enemies or opponents. Is that fair enough?" Arthur smiled.

Mon smirked. "We will do it anyway. Meechayah, you can leave." Mon ordered.

"What? Is that all? You're going to tell them without me? You're saying that this 1st slot will be empty later?" Meechayah complained.

"You have many advantages already 1st. I'm just being fair." Mon exclaimed softly. "What's the point of having you here later? You won't see their faces either. You can only see them as shadow. Only we, Arthur and I can see them." Mon continued.

"But because you identified Kishen's mission, you can see her standing in that 4th slot every time we had a meeting. But she can't see you." Arthur held his ivory box. "Unless.. you tell your mission to her or you tell that you are involve." He continued.

"What if.. If I don't participate in the game, there is a punishment, right?" Meechayah asked.

"Yes."

"What is it?"

"You'll know once you ignore the game."

Meechayah sighed and after a few minutes of contemplation, she began, "You also told us that the reward will soon be announced after a player wins. How can we make sure that this game is really worth playing for?" Meechayah asked.
