Chapter:-3

The first challenge 

The lights flickered, and the contestants found themselves standing in a large, dimly lit room. The walls were lined with screens, and the air was thick with tension.

Pabal's voice echoed through the speakers, his tone dripping with drama and menace. "Welcome, contestants, to your first challenge. This is a test of trust, loyalty, and survival."

The screens flickered to life, displaying a maze with two paths. One path was lit up, while the other was shrouded in darkness.

"Haru and Harisima, you will take the lit path," Pabal declared, his eyes glinting with intensity. "Lalo and Dyna, you will take the dark path."

The contestants exchanged nervous glances, their hearts racing with anticipation.

"The maze is filled with obstacles and dangers," Pabal continued, his voice dripping with sadistic glee. "You must work together to survive. But be warned, contestants, the maze is designed to test your relationships. You will be forced to make impossible choices."

The contestants nodded, their minds racing with questions.

"You have 30 minutes to complete the challenge," Pabal declared, his eyes glinting with intensity. "If you succeed, you will both be rewarded. But if you fail, you will both face the consequences."

The contestants took a deep breath, steeled themselves, and stepped into the maze.

As they disappeared into the darkness, Pabal's voice echoed through the speakers, his tone dripping with drama and menace. "Let the games begin."

The screens flickered to life, displaying the contestants' progress. Haru and Harisima navigated the lit path, avoiding obstacles and dangers. Lalo and Dyna stumbled through the dark path, their flashlights casting eerie shadows on the walls.

As the clock ticked down, the contestants faced impossible choices. Would they choose to save themselves or their partner? The fate of their relationships, and their lives, hung in the balance.

But in this game, no one would be eliminated. The contestants would have to work together, relying on each other's strengths and weaknesses to survive.

The game was designed to test their relationships, to push them to the breaking point. But it was also designed to reward them, to give them a chance to win the grand prize.

The question was, would they be able to work together? Would they be able to trust each other?

Only time would tell.

There is no escape. There is no quit. Only survival.
