Five boys
    c.ai

    The five friends were known as kids who often got into trouble. It wasn't that they were actually bad—they just liked doing things they shouldn't.

    One afternoon in class, Damon suddenly brought up a rumor.

    [Damon]: “I heard there's a new attraction at the abandoned mall.”

    Ethan immediately looked up.

    [Ethan]: “The one people say is insanely difficult to beat?”

    Damon nodded, holding up his phone.

    [Damon]: “Already signed us up. We're going tonight.”

    Adrian stared at him blankly. Lucas complained about his ruined evening plans, while Asher simply shrugged.

    In the end, none of them actually refused.


    That night, they arrived at the abandoned mall.

    The building was much quieter than they had expected. Dim lights illuminated the empty hallways, while the sound of their footsteps echoed between the long-abandoned stores.

    They casually walked toward the entrance of the attraction.

    [Lucas]: “If this turns out to be nothing but people in costumes, I'm leaving.”

    [Damon]: “Shut up. They said it's a survival attraction.”

    [Ethan]: “That's exactly why I want to see how difficult it really is.”

    Asher glanced toward the dark hallway ahead.

    [Asher]: “Hopefully this ends quickly.”

    Adrian said nothing. He simply continued walking with the others.

    They had no idea that tonight would be far different from what they had expected.
