#24- Floor 4!
We entered the portal to Floor 4 the next morning, i was still pissed of that Victor, the asshole who killed my parents, was standing not too far from me, the bastard revealed that shit just to get a reaction out of me, and it worked!
Sasha held my hand, trying to calm me down, it kinda worked....
When we entered Floor 4, the entire place was a massive library, rows upon rows of books, at the center was a single computer, the computer was old, i mean ancient, straight out of the fucking 80's
The system spoke....
Floor 4 Challenge!
Forsaken Archives
Solve 3 Riddles to continue!
"I fucking hate riddles..." thought to myself, not because they were hard, because they were cliche.
Sasha and i approached the computer, the other players behind us.
I turned on the screen, a massage appeared:
Riddle 1: At night, i arrive without being fetched, at day, i vanish without leaving, what am i?
WARNING: Any incorrect response will result in player's elimination!
"Tch, child's play!" i said as i typed the answer.
"A Star"
A gentle chime sounded from the computer, "Correct Answer!"
"You always were good with riddles.." Millie said.
The computer beeped again:
Riddle 2: When long, i bring boredom, when short, i bring fear, what am i?
WARNING: Incorrect response will result in player elimination.
"Oh i know this one!" a random player said, he approached the console.
"A Hot dog"
The alarm blared!
INCORRECT!!!
That player exploded in a blast of pixels!
We looked at the computer.
2 Chances remaining, automatic failure after all 3 chances are used.
After the 2nd floor, we kinda got numb to death.
I then typed the correct answer.
"Time"
The Computer chimed, "Correct Answer!"
We all drew a breath of relief, only one riddle left, as long as nobody fucked up, we were golden.
The computer spoke again.
Riddle 3: A bite from me can make you itch, make you scratch, make you twitch, what am i?"
Victor stood forward and approached the console, he looked at me, i was still fucking pissed off, but if he knew the answer, i'll give him a chance.
He typed the answer, "A Mosquitto,"
We heard the chime!
"Correct Answer"
The computer was swallowed in a beam of light!
The portal to Floor 5 opened.
I stared at Victor, "This doesn't fucking change shit..." i growled.
He nodded, and we all went in...
Floor 10
B.E.L.A's Office.
B.E.L.A watched us with curiousity, she was a small girl in a long white dress, 0's and 1's dancing along it.
she had pearl white skin, short, neon blue hair tied in a bun, tortoise-shell glasses over her icy white eyes, despite her appearence, she carried the maturity of a woman in her late 40's.
She looked at the screen to her right:
Current No. of players: 10
Strongest Players: Abby, Sasha, Millie, Zak, Victor.
Chances of reaching Final floor: 97%
"Well, this is good news, the last group never got past Floor 2, they usually killed one each other, perhaps this batch will succeed..." she said with a smile...
