Chapter 69: Maze Runner (2) – 67

"Get him!"

As they gained on me like hyenas chasing after a water buffalo, I jumped.

"Huh?"

"BOOM!"

Being propelled forward from the shockwave of the blast, I couldn't help but think, 'Woah, close call,' as I landed on my feet and immediately rolled to distribute the shock of the impact.

"Come and get me, you fuckers!"

Too blinded by greed to even think about the possibility of there being even more traps in the area, the players in the gang that could still move chased after me, and so I once again resumed my "harrow escape" from their clutches.

'Goddamn, these guys are so dumb.'

"BOOM!"

"Schling!" (A/N: Arrow Trap)

"Splich!" (A/N: Spike Pit Trap)

"BOOM!"

Going out with a bang, I finally got rid of the last pursuer on my trail, as his bloody leg flew through the air and landed right next to me, splattering some blood onto the white, marble floor of the maze.

'What should I have expected from these dummies? They literally never learned a single thing...'

Sighing at the stupidity of the group that had just tried to kill me, I started retracing my steps, killing whoever had survived the traps, being only maimed and unable to move, as I wanted the coins that they were worth.

After all, being a little bit richer was always better.

It was kind of a poetic scene actually.

Although they didn't know this, I would have to say that there was a glamorous death for each and every one of them, as an angel descended on their souls.

Ahhhhh... so satisfying.

...

One Week Later:

"Slich!"

Stabbing a shoddy knife that I had bought off the "market" into yet another person, I couldn't help but feel the burden or boredom starting to creep up on me.

"Sigh..."

This was honestly no fun!

I mean, I had expected for some of the high rollers to yank out some better traps on me, but every single trap I had come across was still a low level trap.

Basically, I had just wasted a bunch of time now, as I had been cautious with where I placed each foot since the end of the first day, using fresh body parts to throw in front of me instead of just jumping over the traps.

Why? Because I knew some guy thinking that he was tricky would put two traps in succession, so, after a jumped over the first trap, I would land directly in the second trap.

That was why I just continued to be cautious no matter what.

It was better to be safe rather than sorry after all.

'Well, the game should be drastically changing in a few hours, so I don't think I'll be bored anymore.'

'But still, do I really have to wait a few hours? So boring...'

You see, it was only when the change occurred that I would actually be able to survive, if I was truly by myself in this maze that was.

If somebody like Third Sister was in the maze, and Nora was the one in control, then I would also have a 100% chance of survival.

But, the first option was a guaranteed method of success, so I would fall back on it no matter what happened.

Even if Third Sister was here, I would probably just use the first method with her, as that would mean that I would waste the least amount of time possible.

I just needed for this damn wait to be over.

'Come on, come on, change quickly!'

You see, with the change, there was this one piece of knowledge that I could definitely exploit, and that was the location of the exit of the maze.

Yes, if a player actually escaped the maze, then they would leave, first of all, alive, which was the biggest prize, and second off, they would be given the amount of money that they were worth the moment they stepped through the exit.

'Wait... what if?'

'No, that'd be to devious, and there's a high chance of failure.'

'But...'

'No, don't do it.'

'But I really really want to!'

'NO, FUCK NO.'

'Pweaseeeeeeeeee?'

'I can't believe I'm actually having this kind of debate with myself.'

'We gotta do it! He'd never see it coming!'

'But it's such a fucking dumb thing to do!'

'I. DON'T. CARE.'

'But I do, our life is more important than that.'

Wait, why did I start referring to myself as "our"?

Damn, I'm going to go crazy at this rate, might as well cave in to my desires!

????

'Fuck, I am screwing myself over, aren't I?'

'Whatever, don't think about it anymore, just think about the "how" to do it.'

'Alright, alright.'

'And that was how I completely fucking screwed myself over.' I thought, for sure that this was a bad idea, but the tantalizing idea of what it would taste like if I was actually able to achieve the impossible? Mhmmm....

"Groooooooaaaaaaaan."

'Ahh, it's finally starting.'

Looking up, I waited, until a certain something started falling out of the sky.

'Snow? No... it's ash.'

Fuck.

Why did it have to be this environment?

As I watched the ash falling from the sky, fiery brimstone soon proceeded afterwards, drawing burning orange streaks across the sky as they aimed for the unsuspecting.

"Rummmmbbbbllllleeeee..."

"..."

"..."

"..."

"BOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMM!"

'Yep, I fucking got the volcano environment.'

There were a few reasons why this environment was the worst one.

First, the obvious, as fiery rain continuously fell from the sky, meaning I had to spend at least half my consciousness on just dodging all that debris that came down at me.

Second, with the volcanic region being my sector of the maze, it meant that I was in the second furthest sector away from the exit of the maze.

And finally, happy, lucky number three, the third reason why this was a sign of the unfortunate incidents that were yet to come.

You see, the volcanic region only spawned in the quadrant with the most amount of people.

Thus, there would be at least 500 assholes chasing for my head, and I knew for sure that, unlike the week before, where they had all been just moths running to a flame, there would definitely be some smart ones in this giant pool of players.

And that was what scared me.

Yet, why was I smiling then?

It was all because of that side of me.

That damn fucking side.

The same half of me that had urged me to go with "that" plan instead of just doing the dirties and getting out of this maze as fast as possible.

'Ahh... This rush! This glee! This happiness!'

"Mooaaannnn"

I couldn't help but let out a little sigh in ecstasy.
