Jimin shot his eyes opened, his breath coming in gasps. His vision was covered in darkness, with a soft neon green glow, coming from behind him. That's when he realized that he was in inside the BMI machine. 

Suddenly, the cover was opened, and the bright light of the playing room filled his eyes. He scrunched his eyes shut, and propped his body upon his elbows. Blinking, as he adjusted his sight to the light, scanned his surrounding. 

Hoseok was at Yoongi's side, taking off the adhesive attached to their body. Once, Hoseok was done with Yoongi, Hoseok did the same with Jimin. The brunet held his hands out, and helped Jimin up from the machine. 

"You did good" Hoseok complemented.

"Yeah, I'm still surprised that he didn't fall once" Yoongi mumbled, smiling at the youngest. 

Jimin noticed that the Holographic table, Hoseok had received, was taking up the space in their station. Upon the table was hovering, in blue hue, the holographic 3D map of the region where the challenge took place. 

"The first thing I did, after entering the challenge world was...have a mighty fall" Yoongi announced, rollings his eyes, as he got off. 

He groaned in pain when he gave pressure upon his legs. He almost fell down, if it weren't for Hoseok. Yoongi propped himself back up, trying to balance himself on his legs but the same result. Pain shot up his legs. 

"Hyung are you alright?" Jimin asked. 

Yoongi nodded, looked down at his leg. There was no swellings but the pain was still there. Taking in a deep breath, Yoongi tried to balance himself on his legs. Cautiously, he tried walking. The pain was present but he could walk.

"Congratulations players. You all have successfully passed through the trial round. Out of two hundred, hundred of you were able to gain the packages. Inside those packages you will find all items which will help you in your first Games' challenge. Along with it, you will all receive a individual tasks that you must carry out in the challenge in order to attain bonus items"

After the announcement ended, all the players looked at each, whispering to each other. 

"This was a practice?" Hoseok asked, shutting his hologram table off.

"Players are requested to head back to their chambers"

Jimin crouched down in front of Yoongi, examining his ankle, "Does it hurt?"

He moved the ankle a little, Yoongi groaning when pain shot up his leg. Jimin mumbled an apolody, putting his leg down. He reached forward for the instant heath kit. He opened it and fished out a oinment.

"It's weird. There is no swelling" Jimin mumbled

"The BMI did it" Yoongi replied, leaning back as Jimin worked on the wrapping the crepe bandage.

"How?" Jimin asked, putting back the ointments and closing the kit.

"I guessed it. But I never thought that the effect would be this much" Hoseok said, sitting on the sofa.

Jimin and Yoongi looked at him confused. Waiting for an answer. 

"Since your brainwaves can get channeled to the central until. I guessed that this effect could be two ways... I mean, if you can control your avatars. You must also feel what your avatar does. If your avatar is hurt. You're hurt as well. But I dismissed this idea" Hoseok said, waving his hand ambiguously in the air.

"Why?" Jimin inquired. He was bit edged out knowing that Hoseok held back such a piece of information. 

"Umm...it didn't make much sense. It was just a random idea, you know. I didn't think that the machines would be this advanced. Moreover, I didn't expect that the Creators would create something like this" Hoseok reason.

Jimin tilted his head, "Anything more?"

Hoseok shook his head. But proceeded to think about the effects anyways, "I'll go study everything once more. Just in case, I missed something"

Jimin watched as Hoseok walked to his room and close the door behind him. Now, it was just Yoongi and Jimin. The elder sighed, shifting on the sofa. 

"I wonder what else is coming our way" Yoongi mumbled.

Jimin noticed that the red light was blinking again, notifying that they have received their bonus package. Jimin quickly, went over to the table and clicked the button.

Immediately, the hologram hovered over the table with a ping sound. Hoseok opened the door to his room and peeked outside, watching what was happening. Book in his hand and nibbling on the end of the pencil.

"Congratulation Team GlassWater on receiving the Bonus package" 

Jimin tapped on the holographic image of the purple box. Immediately it opened and showed all the new weapons and equipment they have achieved. Alongside, more units and gems. 

Jimin frowned as he read the piece of puzzle that they were given. It didn't make much sense to him. After reading it for a while longer, Jimin swiped it aside and proceeded to read out the task that they were given.

"Attain the golden post. Kill or be killed"

Voila! Another shit chapter. Thank you, thank you.

*sigh* Sorry, I haven't been feeling good recently. I'll come with something better soon. Also, I might take a break. MIGHT. I have an exam coming up and I need to study for it. So, my updates maybe slow and all that.

Sorry
