Chapter 7

The glamorous CEO of M-Tech, Sebastian Monte graced them with his presence, he had brown hair with golden highlights, a dash of grey hair by the side and deep-seated brown eyes with crow's feet and Donnie gave an infrequent laugh as he shook his hand in both of his and sighed.

Sebastian wiggled his eyebrow at Eve and welcomed the rest of them

"It's an honour to meet you sir" Guy shook his hand.

"Silver, don't call me sir, can you do that?"

"Well, um I mean no disrespect. This is so unreal" He whiffed and stepped up on his toes.

"Yeah? You're gonna have your minds blown away" He mumbled with a smile that made his cheeks fold in.

Kane raised an eyebrow at that;

They moved away from the paparazzi into the backstage where the crystal chandelier hung refracting a spectrum of lights around the white walls with black panels around too. There were black leather seats with people hanging about.

Guy observed the almost cheerless impression about them, it was so dim that it was hard to capture their faces and he shrugged his jacket walking faster.

To the main backstage where there were tall frames and stage lights with black ceilings and walls on either side and two wooden walls, black cushions with men in black tights rebounding on it, others stuck by the walls making a terrifying headless impression at first glance when truly, they were wearing black clothes.

Eve grimaced and stayed by Guy's side looking after them

"Any problem?" He said.

"Let's just keep walking," She said gripping his arm

"Oooh, actors, so scary" Kane waved his hands and cackled walking smoothly and stumbled upon Donnie gazing at the stuffed giant bat figures with fangs hanging down by cables.

"Sweet Mother of Vengeance," He said and his glasses fell down his head, his legs quivered as he walked.

"This is my kink," Bones said as his lip stretched into a half-smile and he spun around with his arms stretched out.

"Where do you reckon he's from?" Eve asked.

"Mexico_regardless of the first name" Guy let out.

"It's New Mexico, rude," He said up ahead, promenading about.

"What about twofold last name?" He raised the question casting a curious glance at Kane Huxley as he stretched his arms at a corner with inbuilt lights, he stood over a rug,

The day after the prestigious address of the finalists, they were transported to the gaming house, a five-star paradise with fake grass and lime stepping stones on the outdoor spot.

The swings were specially made to look like indented eggs and they had beds that were round in the same room with a green carpet across that looked like grass, even on the wallpaper except for a black vent with a fridge nearby with assortments on display and a

He was fit for a gamer and his muscles stretched when he did warmups. Reaching down to tuck his feet.

"He is definitely from Limeyland" She smiled.

Guy passed her one shocked glimpse and nudged her "Ouch, you must be from Dublin"

Her shoulders shimmied "I never thought you'd guess, bruv. Ow," She rubbed her back.

"Competitive, unstoppable, top of his game, he's won dozens of tournaments" She waved her hand and Guy felt cautious of the new vicinity.

Kane adjusted his wrist "Nice to know a fan" The texture of his voice was husky and he shuffled toward them in a tank top with a red top and blue underside. matching tracks and flip flops.

He flipped his postcard to unveil a green-faced character with a feminine appearance, darker green layers on the sides of her face, sky blue eyes and sleek full lips, her hair was a blue mohawk and the rest of her head was bald.

[ Greetings Kane Huxley, I am Nähren, the heart of the realm of Regno Forst_ ] He flipped it closed revelling in their astonishment at his NPC.

Donnie crawled over "Oh man, you got Nähren? She's the sexiest one of all" He groaned and fell over in lethargy when he flipped his open and Eve covered her mouth at the character that appeared, a rocky masculine faced being with hollow eyes that glowed orange, his head was as spiky as the gradients of the Monteberg, his mouth was equally hollow when he spoke.

[ Greetings, Donnie Gryphon, I am Strevok, the core of the third realm, Monteberg, here to guide_ ]

"No thanks," He closed it and brushed it aside.

"Oof" Guy grimaced.

"I know, total nightmare fuel," He said picking his nails.

Eve opened hers as a grey mask spun with hollow eyes and spikes on each side of its head with darker grey blotches.

[ Welcome, I am Gelar, the line that falls between the two realms Okeanos and Regno Forst, I am the foundation that upholds Glazier ]

Bones clapped pulling up the sleeves of his black robe about to reveal his before a member of the M-Tech Crew in black clothes entered the house.

He nodded and they all stood up.

Guy gruffed as the medic in black collected blood from his elbow and he glanced at the others all facing the same thing on glass panels with metal hedges.

Sebastian sauntered in with his hands behind his back on a black suit with people wearing black veils and robes holding a tray of pills.

Donnie's eyes twitched at the black getups and scoffed while the medic injected him on the shoulder.

Eve climbed down "Blood tests? This is a game, right?"

Sebastian presented an alarming look when he faced her and she backed away by the glass panel nauseous. Shuddering.

"I know, the cameras will be rolling in the next few minutes from now and we need to take some precautions"

"Oh, I get it" She nodded with a bead of tears in her bloodshot eyes.

"Proceed to drug tests," He said scanning her and she grew conscious of her skinny physique and stepped away.
