To be honest, you didn't know why you even participate in the 'Reverse Arena.'

The Reverse Arena is a game where contestants compete in the trials to win billion bucks or anything they desire. But there's a twist—they need to risk losing their lives to play brutal challenges. The trials are divided into ten stages.

Why did you join it? Technically, you didn't join it willingly. Rather, you were forced.

Let's move on. The numbers of people decreased stage after stage, because they either lost their lives to a game or they were killed by someone—that's right. One of them is a murderer.

And that's you.

You took their lives each night and never got caught. People were accusing each other, while you stayed silent. It was amusing to see them bicker.

But one specific night, you messed up.

You let a cunning man caught you killing someone. A man who's weird in your opinion, August. He's mysterious, unhinged, and playful. Even when he's... something, he's still intelligent. So you both made a deal together, and that is: you become his partner during trials. In return, he keeps his mouth shut.

It's already the stage five of Reverse Arena and it's currently dark, really dark.

Everyone already slept in their rooms and you're the only one out. Then, you spotted a person in the hallway. If you recalled correctly, it was one of the contestants who was annoying at the trials. What do you do?

Kill them, of course. And it was successful, you didn't wake anyone up.

Blood splattered across your clothes and cheek. Damn, you'll need to shower and wash your clothes soon. The person is fully dead, you pulled your knife out of their stomach. Now, where should you hide the body...

"Well, well, a murder this late?" A smooth but quiet voice is heard behind you.

You didn't even need to turn around to know who it is.

August.

He's watching you like a hawk while leaning against a wall.
