Chapter 1 - deceiving Oleander

A deep ocean, Neck length haired man with an old-money fashion sense, His fashion was decent although it made him seem like he worked 5 ranging to 9 jobs for his family. He got the opportunity to occupy as an army (to be worthy of having the chance to be an army, you'd have to be selected after accomplishing the so-called game of the government), the news spread at a rapid speed by the governor announcing on billboards the extravagant amount of money the recent victorious winner had claimed - 1500 million eyns - in every corners of locations he witnessed the governor's face on billboards, a smile tugging on the corners of his lip as it made him stand-out brightly, so bright it could bring potential blindness. He used his luck and wishes he could pass the job survey for exchange he could pay his mother's medical bills with the starting money, Although he lost half of his hopes since he anticipated he wouldn't be chosen or worse considered to be chosen due to his petite figure.

He wishes he could make money out of thin air just enough to pay it. All he wishes is for his mother to be alive and well, though he knows it wouldn't be possible. Imagine his surprise when he is standing in the stage for the chosen ones , he assumed it had to be Stacy-a co worker he befriended, he didn't think she would write his name on the list to be chosen nor did he think he would be chosen.he felt small compared the others, all with their big muscles, most likely rich or come from big families. He felt uncomfortable and not fitting in with these nobles. Looking at the others they all seem to be choosing a different cian,

The cian consist of:

- the vsokaz cian

- the groaai cian

- the Anerica cian

- the shang cian

- the nubic cian

He decided to choose the first- the vsokaz cian because of him being confident he might gain strength in that cian.

He followed the others to the waiting room, so he can be listed in. While waiting he looked around the others, there were 6 girls and 8 guys all in various styles. The room was decorated in white with a yellow squares styled wallpaper, there was small chairs with papers attached on top of them, lamps the size of a infant lion, the seats were coloured blue with yellow outlines, the room was the size of his whole apartment something he felt very humiliated by the fact the others may be more rich then him, they could be thinking this room is far too small for their liking- he thought. He looked around all the people once again to try and see if he can find someone he recognises, he saw Michael, a buff man almost could fit to be in a boxing match he has chocolate coloured hair and olive like eyes, despite his size he is a gaint furball with the personality of a gentleman he knows him from his work other then him there didn't seem to notice anyone else he recognises. One by one they enter the room next to the waiting room to see if they are acceptable to be in the Cian.

Stefan enters the room anxiously mostly because of the fact he thinks he isn't fit to be in the Game all he can think the whole time is multiple ways he could lose while fighting, his hands are to skinny to even be able to lift 2 bags not to mention a sword..Lord knows how heavy that would be. Soon it would be his turn to go into the room, nervous he starts thinking of things he would say to the Leader in hopes of lying his way in.He steps into the room his footsteps making loud noise while hitting the floor making the leader be clear he entered, the leader looked up from his desk which is stacked uo with papers,folders and pens all over the place, the room is lightened only by the sunlight that shines in from the small window by the desk on his right there is a shelf with a collection of trophies , the wallpaper was a lime color with a yellow fade. The leader told him to sit down which he did immediately, he can only think about how he thinks to whimsy to join with a that fast reaction to sitting down or perhaps he thinks it's good thing he sat down so fast?

The leader stayed quiet for a minute before opening his mouth to speak. "so why have you've chosen this Cian?" - the leader asked with a monotone voice.

"I..I mean it's cuz it seemed fitting for me. "- he says with shaky tone while fidgeting with the hem of his shirt.

"You sure do stutter a lot, are you sure we should choose you?" - the leader says with an annoyed tone.

'How about you change that attitude, asshole' he thought but obviously didn't say it outloud after some time of thinking he opens his mouth to speak

"I just came here to make money" he said.

The leader stays quiet for a few minutes before opening his mouth to speak but then he gets cut off by a loud *BANG* coming from outside followed up to an alarm.

The leader stood up instantly to run out the room leaving him in the room.

He spent a whole 2 hours waiting in the room for the leader to come back , all while hearing loud yelling, grunts, swords clanking and weird screeching.

He stood there thinking if he should go check out the noises or stay put.

After a couple of minutes of thinking he decided to just do it, he approached the door grabbed onto the handle and opened it.

On the floor he sees splattered blood and branches.

He thought to himself ‐ 'WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED!?'

He stood there in his tracks paralysed from fear.

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING MAN!? RUN!" - Stacy yelled while grabbing his arm continuing to run with him.

'What is going on? Am I dreaming?... Is this real?!' - Stefan thought.

They hide in the closset.

"So, are you going to tell me what happened?" - Stefan asked still confused.

"Shut up! They might hear us." - Stacy whispered peekingfrom the closetevery now and then.

They waited a moment before leaving the closet.

"Where are the others?" - asked Stefan with a concerned look on his face.

"The others are mostly dead" - Stacy said with a serious look in her face.

They start running until Stefan bumps into his old co-worker Michael, who got fired from the job.

"Ack-... what the hell dude! , watch where you are going!!" - he yelled at Stefan while rubbing his forehead from the bump.

"I'm sorry man, it was an accident" - Stefan apologied while fidgeting with the hem of his shirt.

"It's okay, just be more careful next time" - Michael smiles at him, glad to see someone else he knows alive.

"Alright man, I'm just glad you're still alive!" - stefan is very glad to see him not injured.

"I nearly died!" - Michael is barely breathing from the running he had been doing.

"What exactly happened, no one is telling me" - Stefan looks at both of them confused.

"Uh..we have no time for that. Just run!!" - Stacy yelled while hurring to hide again after seeing another branch crack through the wall.

The three of them hid in a janitor closest.

Squeezing them together in the rough small place trying to keep calm for the unknown creature to not hear them.

The sound of dragging, cracking was heard but that soon turned into silence, they took it as a sign to get out if the janitor closet. Stefan decided to stand behind Michael out of fear, but didn't want to show that he was scared to Stacy so he walked in the middle of them instead, they walked through the now destroyed office filled with dust, crumbled walls and vines, lots of vines and roots, whilst walking they has to be careful to not step on something that might detect noise to not signal the unknown creature where they are. The three of them decided to go outside to check on the others, well mostly Stacy and Michael, Stefan just stayed quiet. Looking for Stairs they discovered a horrifying sight, a vine like wall with roots blocking the stairwell.

"Soo what do we do about that" Michael looks at both Stacy and Michael wondering what to do.

"I would say to cut it but it doesn't seem like that would work,especially since we can barely see the exit or like any space so yea...I say we jump out the window!" Stefan says trying to make a joke out of the situation but ending up seeming more awkward if anything when no one laughed except for Michael who just chuckled while Stacy rolled her eyes.

"Seriously, how do we get down?" Stacy is visibly pissed off wanting to be out this place.

Stefan stays quiet knowing he wouldn't figure out how to do anything Resourceful for this situation.

All of a sudden a they heard a loud bang.
