CHAPTER 1: Punishment

A bird flew by in the vast and through the wispy clouds, only deep blue ocean cloud could be seen. The entire body of the water the reflecting of the beautiful skies.

But under a certain raincloud lay a special Island of about fifty kilometers wide with a perfectly straight peak at it's center. From far away, the vast Island look as if a long sword. It's was surrounded by massive cliffs, without a single beach.

on the south side of the Island, at a protouding cliff, a handsome twenty-one year old young man wearing simple clothes, sat at the edge of the rocks, He watched his surrounding, the unknown land that he was in. He watched the seas with wistful eyes, yet there was also mysterious trace of grief. It was his genuine feelings that shown a gloomy face that did not match his age.

Jay sat silently on the cliff like a statue, his insignificant body facing violent tides. After a period of time, a horn sounded out from the depths of the island.

"wuuuuuuuhhh"

Hearing the horn, the man showed a loathe expression, but nevertheless stood up and walked towards the sound. Very soon Jay arrived at an open area within the forest, with a radius of about 100 meters around this area was wall made up of thirty meter high wooden spikes, creating a village like campground.

At the entrance of the campground four men in blue clothes, about thirty years old stood out and besides them there was frightening beast type contract soul pet.

" Uraghhh!!! Uhhhh!!! AWOUUU!!!

Wolf type beast saw the young man in and they immediately growled, baring their white teeth that may ready to attack the young man.

" Get your doggy life here immediately! You are so very slow, do you wanna die? Hmph" said one of the man at the entrance with a cold tone.

Jay stayed out of the wolf's reach and run inside the camp.

" You know the kid's future here is already unknown why so rude and cold to them". said the kind NPC at the entrance.

"Which one these little bastards isn't already dead, such a poor young man." snorted the other one.

" That's to be expected..... Oh, times about up, let's close the door, Tonight we will feast upon their shrieks, hahahhahhah."

The other three laughed along with first, indifferent about the lives of the people within the camp.

The young man that sat on the cliff silently was Jay. What was supposed to be a player who enjoy the game became a prisoner as a punishment, but he still accept it and endured it long until one day he will walk out on this place.

System Punishment: You will be place in a forbidden Island to survive as a punishment for being involved to Dark Soul.

In the campground, on the spacious flat area, there stood a hundred teens within the whistling wind. Their clothes were all flimsy, but their faces showed a numbing resolve, their blank eyes showing sharpness like that of a beast.

The hundred of them lined up in a ten by ten squad, standing neatly together.

Standing near the wooden pike walls next to them were ten adult foremen.

These foremen all stood in place. In their eyes were only coldness and indifference. Their gazes were fixed on the hundred people around them with mix soul players and NPC's and constantly vigilant.

Near the wooden gate, three men in dark clothes stood with very apathetic expressions.

The burly, middle-aged man standing in the middle took a few steps forward, swept his gaze over the them, and smiled cruelly.

"Today is fitness training. You have to face our own savage pets."

"I can tell you right now, I will only allow fifty of you to continue on training here. This means that half of you will die today in this test!"

"Haha, enjoy the sweetness of death! Only people who frequent the edge of life and death."

Hearing this, all one hundred people showed signs of panic, eyeing the ten foremen restlessly.

Within the hundred, only fifty could survive, meaning that each person had only a 50% chance of living. How cruel was that!

But, these villains wouldn't have any sympathy for them. With the command of the middle-aged man, the ten foremen standing beside the wall started chanting a string of strange incantations.

Every time they pursed their lips, a translucent glowing symbol would appear magically around them. The symbols were like words, projecting a blue image onto the ground and creating a glittering light phenomena.

"Awoooooooo!!!Awooooooooooo"

"Awooooooooooo!! Awooooawooooooooooo!!!"

Suddenly, wolf howls sounded out from around them. The smell of blood engulfed the not-so-open campground, buffeting the lean children.

Bone white claws dug into the dirt below, with gray hair spiking up. Razor sharp teeth peeked out of their mouths, shining malevolently.

When the ten foremen finished their summoning, ten predators appeared in the campground ----Hungry Wolfs! The savage soul pet known for its sharp and terrifying teeth!

Seeing the ten threatening wolves howling right at them, the children all became pale. A few girls even bit their lips, crying tears.

Regardless of whether or not they were faced against soul pets or the helpless children, Hungry Wolves were very scary creatures. For food, they would attack without the slightest hesitation with all their might until their prey died.

Additionally, in most areas, even adult soul pet trainers had a tough time against a single Hungry Wolf, let alone these unarmed, unlearned soul contractors.
