Finally… we found him.
Harshath ran toward us the moment he saw our faces. Siddhu and I didn’t even think — we grabbed him, slapped him on the shoulders, and scolded him hard. After everything we went through, after all the fear and sleepless nights, he was the reason we ended up in this nightmare.
But the anger didn’t last long.175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF1xo3zbI2g
Because the next second, we pulled him into a tight hug — tears in our eyes.175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKVgUeEM26b
It was one of the most emotional moments of our lives.
Harshath broke down. He told us how he ended up here in the first place.
He had received an invitation for a meeting about a new course, with guaranteed payment just for attending. Believing it was real, he went. When he reached the place, he saw a lift with a sign saying “6th Floor – Meeting Room.”
But when he reached the 6th floor… there was nothing.175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTXla8vqAVo
Just a table. Six chairs.175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6BUMrPJo6J
No people. No voices. No meeting.
Before he could understand anything, a sudden smoke filled the room.175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrvvMA8xXo8
He collapsed.175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD8GfcC2Lol
And when he opened his eyes, he found himself trapped in this world.
The couple — Jade and Lim — and one of his own schoolmates were in the same first game with him. They were the ones who helped him survive.
The schoolmate was Manju, the girl Harshath once had a crush on back in school.175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhlU7zOGlB4
But the last game injured her badly.175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKKv1S6Z3Uk
And last night… she passed away in his arms.
Harshath’s voice broke as he spoke about her. The guilt, the regret, the helplessness — it was all in his eyes. We comforted him and then told him everything that happened on our side.
Harshath already knew about the compass, the games, and the killers.175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ50tP25wbAp
He was ready.175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ18W7VOnxgx
He had already decided to prepare for the next game with or without us.
We told him we weren’t leaving him ever again.
Since we still had two days, we agreed to prepare together.
The base camp was nearby, so we reached it quickly. We informed Inspector Shariff and the others about everything — the motel, the couple’s findings, and the truth about Harshath.
Shock spread across their faces… but also hope.
For the first time, there was a real path to get back to the real world.
Kathir, Badrul, Siddhu, and a few others immediately started preparing weapons. Since the game had powerful killers who were extremely hard to kill, we had no choice but to train for weak points and survival methods.
Inspector Shariff trained us personally using his police experience.175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwVcaDzXRE0
He taught us fighting techniques, takedown moves, and survival strategies.
We spent the next two days training harder than we ever had in our lives.
Different strategies.175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbR8RFhbSeu
Different escape plans.175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNwS4MdTHQH
Different attack formations.
We knew the game would test every part of us — mind, body, and courage.
But this time, we weren’t just playing to survive.
We were playing to escape.175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2VXeCt8bSM
We were playing to save everyone.175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJUDoZICJNZ
And we were playing together.
