[The Forest – An Unfair Fight]
Yousef (shouting as he backs away): "This isn't the time to act brave—RUN!"
But the hunters were faster than they had expected. One of them raised his baton and struck Zain in the chest, sending him crashing to the ground, writhing in pain.
Nadia (terrified): "Zain!!"
Lamar (gripping Nadia's hand in fear): "We need to run before we end up like him!"
But the third hunter blocked their path, smirking under his mask as he said:
"Not another step… The game isn't over yet."

[Inside the Pit – A Plan for Survival]
Adam struggled to get up despite the hard fall. His eyes widened as he saw the hunters surrounding his friends above.
Adam (angrily): "I can't just leave them like this!"
He quickly scanned his surroundings. The ground was littered with broken branches, and in the corner of the pit… there was a large rock.
Adam (smirking as he lifted it): "This might come in handy."

[The Fight – First Strike]
First Hunter (raising his weapon): "Who should we start with?"
But before he could choose a target, a massive rock flew from the pit and struck him hard in the head!
First Hunter (groaning, stumbling back): "Damn it…!"
Yousef (stunned): "What the—?!"
Lamar (excitedly): "Adam!"
The rock wasn't enough to knock the hunter out, but it distracted them for a moment—a moment that was all Yousef needed. He lunged at the second hunter, grabbing his weapon and shoving him with all his strength.
Yousef (furious): "Let's see you talk now!"
Zain (struggling to stand): "We won't beat them easily. We have to run!"
Nadia (shouting): "But Adam is still in the pit!"
Lamar (nervously stepping back as she eyed the third hunter): "And he's still standing!"
Suddenly, the third hunter pulled out a small gun and fired a shot into the air.
Lamar (screaming): "He's going to kill us!"
Third Hunter (coldly smiling): "No… but time's up."
Before anyone could react, the glowing screens embedded in the trees lit up again, displaying a new message:
"Level One has ended… Prepare for Level Two."

[The Forest – When the Real Game Begins]
Suddenly, the ground beneath them trembled. Something strange was happening—it was as if the entire island was shifting.
Zain (shocked): "What's going on? An earthquake?!"
But the third hunter only grinned maliciously and said:
"The real fun is just beginning… Get ready to die."
And in an instant, the ground cracked open beneath them… plunging them all into darkness.
To be continued…
