Time:???
The young man would get up , then stretch his body whilst simultaneously looking around witnessing a bunch of people , all in different shapes and sizes , male and female , tall , short and medium sized entering the corporation building that was like a skyscraper covered in glass all over. He would be stretching his legs as he would feel laces on his feet then looked down on his feet as he saw he was wearing wooden dark brown boots , not remembering stealing shoes but he simply dismissed the thoughts as he walked through the main entrance of the building.
The building was well furnished with couches , a reception table , tables , flowers etc. It would show that it's a proper receptionist lounge that you only see at TV shows. The young lad would be seen walking towards the receptionist while looking around the lounge , seeing only teenagers and young adults that were a little above his age hanging out in groups , some Introverted in their own corners alone.
The receptionist would be a woman , in her early twenties , with a oval smooth shaped face , big eyes but with small medium sized glasses , her hair would be loosened up but shortened , wearing a blue jacket that was a little unbuttoned to show her cleavage and a black skirt that ended right underneath her kneecaps
"Excuse me? Can you tell me what is happening today? where am I? and why are there a lot of people here?"
Neo would approach the table then utter such words to the receptionist in a whispering manner. The receiptionist would open her red lips that were covered with obviously red lipstick as she said , "There's a tournament happening today , the location of this area cannot be revealed unfortunately , and finally they are here for the R1,000,000 prize money , aren't you here for it too?"
He would be shaken but no facial or body expression would be given off as he heard the prize money for the tournament that's going to happen , this meant he could earn money that would secure him a good life since his new in this civilization. He would just turn back around after thanking the receptionist then went back pushing his way towards the elevators as he would rest on the walls thus closing his eyes for a moment.
"Welcome to the Parallel Ultimate Gladiator tournament contestants !! out of two hundred , we only want one person that would've worked hard to earn that number one spot , to win our ultimate prize money , and that's R1,000,000 (ZAR -South African Currency)!"
The crowd would roar and start chanting in excitement after hearing that price money , some were desperate for the money , some were doing this just for fun but nonetheless everyone was excited until...
"Unfortunately there's one thing that you guys won't find pleasing..."
The excitement would be heard slowly taking it's last breaths and slowly dying amongst the crowd. After hearing this everyone would be seen left in a shocked and disgusted expression on their faces , as one guy started running toward the main entrance shouting " i-i don't wanna die!" , this triggered others to run as the words would only start to sink into other's brains including Neo.
"Unfortunately there's one thing that you guys won't find pleasing....you'll have to kill your way to victory and everyone that enters this tournament will die except for one"
Some deciding on whether to go or stay as the countdown would be heard "10.....9.......8.....7" , about hundreds of people at the entrance , trying to squeeze themselves through one door , others succeeding whilst others struggling. The young lad would get shakened also as he felt a sharp knife getting stabbed into his body and that was fear , something he hasn't felt in a long time as he started running towards the crowd.
"3........2......"
Squeezing himself throughout the crowd , as he would finally reach for the door , " 1!" the doors would automatically shut themselves as all the people that were near it would fall like dominoes. The elevators would open as other would walk towards them like zombies ,they would head downwards then open on the backdoor as everyone would get inside a bullet train that travelled underground.
Location : Underground Facility
Time: ????
"It's been two hours , I'm wondering how did I get here , did those guys that were chasing me dump me here knowing that it's a death tournament ? that's really fucked up,but since I'm here I might as well think of a strategy on how not to get killed"
He would be staring at the floor then ruse his head a little to look at his opponents in which all of them looked as worried and puzzled as he was.
"Everyone is surely thinking of the same thing , how to survive and win this competition. I wonder how much time do I have left until mom wakes me up for school but that isn't the main consent now, I need to focu...s"
The train would stop immediately as everyone was ordered to get outside the train and heard to gate C / D & E to exit the premises. A wide landscape field with little mountains , rocks and tall to short grass all over. no traces of animals or other life forms , the sky would be blue with little stratus clouds flowing around , with a sunny and south eastern five knots windy
precipitation.
"Scatter!" the commentator's voice from earlier would be heard again shouting as a explosion would happen to where everyone was gathered throwing everyone towards different directions , laying everyone all over the battlefield , " weapons are all over the battlefield so don't hesitate to use them , we have 98 contestants now , we expecting about 50 contestants to be alive when this round ends." Neo would mutter under his breath while getting up looking at his hands as he saw blood on his hands but it would just be a quick flash from his early memories as he regained control of his mind again.
"No shit! don't tell me this is a battle-"
"ROYAL! EXACTLY , your 30 minutes starts NOW! "
