Chapter 1:

Chapter 1 GAMES BEGIN

A Deck of Cards SERIES A


I was walking the halls of the school trying to rush to my next class as some bell went off I was tardy fuck! I said as I stepped into the class room. Bam!

Some kid who was late head just blew up the students reacted as Natsuki Hiro looks at the student's head rolling on the floor. Everyone was shocked and screaming the class was going ballistic Hiro wasn't shocked nah he was calm but knew something was fishy. As few seconds later men in black escort the dead body out and simply the principal walks in telling Hiro's class and the class besides them to follow him into the office. Hiro simply thought he would address the dead body. Takeshi Sagawa was Hiro's only friend and he saw him as he walked out of class 2-b Keijo Takahashi people seemed to call him by his first name since he was so friendly yet he was smart he would be an asset to any team game Hara Fukushima a well known contrarian hates popular things and tells white lies she's pretty but conniving. Next is Shinji Murakami he's a nerd and has orange hair he looks quite different from Hiro's white hair while Hiro is always in another world zoned out listening to music Shinji is just studying or observing away total nerd. From now on this story will be told in Hiro's perspective as the events he describes best.

I was walking down the hall Sagawa comes out from behind me and slaps my back "Wassup man? you look distressed" he says I speak about the dead body he is jaw dropped by how laid back I am about it we continue towards the end of hall and turn towards the office where I expect to hear news about the issue yet instead the principal has a deck of cards. "you are not allowed to show your cards result have already been displayed with the student who is late" the principal replays a video in his office of the kids head exploding. "Are we ready?" He asks after the video is over he grabs the cards and shuffles. "no one is allowed to leave school campgrounds for the rest of the game winner gets a easy life and to live in prosperity for the rest of there lives. The game is already a foot once you get your card a cyber link which we have placed in you will activate you will be told your skills and everything no one can hear you" principal speaks  We still didn't know the rules or anything about this game or if there were more games in this single one. Sagawa's purple hair swayed as he smiled thumbs up he was way too positive. The cards were dealt as the principal spun his chair to hide his face. My card was revealed to me no one saw it the 5 of hearts what a lame card my special skill none my suit hearts.

My suit gave me a special skill i could tell peoples health at any glance of there way and press activate I could  skill was kind of useless though. Mitsuko looked at me and asked "We should form a survivor group for these games" She asked me "yeah that's smart better to have a close team of friends though" I said Sagawa heard us and he joined doing so another member walked over to join  it was Hara "Hey let me join too" "You give me wolf in sheep clothing's vibes" "That's stereotyping man not cool" She said as she looked at me I allowed her in  "the more the merrier" I said "The games will commence in 20 minutes current players 53" Wait that means someone is already dead. Someone has already murdered another. Keijo had asked to be apart of our group he seemed to want to join us before the games started and that's when Hara departed she left without saying anything Mitsuko, Sagawa and Keijo were the people I was with when the games were announced where was Hara?

Hara was on her end helping a friend she told to stay in the bathroom her friend was pregnant and she told her to stay away from the game or she would die. One wrong slip and break and she has an disadvantage this wasn't good as the games started while she was in the bathroom with her friend and there was a murderer on loose. The bathroom lights flickered as hara put all her bodyweight on the door trying to completely lock it as she didn't want anyone to find the both of them.  Someone came knocking on the door Hara could recognize the voice it was an classmate "it's the killer there out here let me in!" She knocks as hard as she can on the door. "I can't what if your the killer" "I swear on my  soul I'm not" The class mates name was Shina  as she cried out  Hara left her friend Megumi the pregnant girl to sit down. She opens the door to see four people including Shina. Shina grabs Hara by the neck "I never liked you, you conniving whore since murder is legal I'm gonna do it" "Whore? Your the one with three guys behind you getting your special treatment huh?" Shina punches Hara in the face to this regards she backs up and holds the door. 

I rush down the hallway seeing this Keijo, Sagawa, and Mitsuko follow me. "We formed an alliance with her get your stupid ass away" said Sagawa "And you called me a whore you got your two boyfriends to try to save you" Shina says "Like your one to talk" Hara says as she spits in the face of Shina. Shina retaliates trying to punch her as Hara dodges and punches back leaving Shina in a daze Tatsumi and Kotonowaka two really strong looking guys compared to me being average in height and size these guys were giants. Sagawa grabbed them by the collar  and pushed them back pounding in the face of Tatsumi. "The games rules will now be explained figure out who killed participant 54 that is all" The bell rings a chime normally associated with lunch. Tatsumi was beat to a pulp and like the bitch she was Shina had fled  Kotonowaka left as well fleeing the scene. It was likely 12pm as we walked into the bathroom to find something hideous as we saw with our eyes Megumi was dead a knife was plunged into her and soon we would need to perform a C-section to save the baby. Who and how did someone murder her that's when I pointed to the vents someone had clearly broken through the vents and also a bell rung an announcement came through. "One player has died 52 players remaining and a player now possesses two cards" I grabbed the bloody knife tried to sterilize it with water and cut open her stomach I did quickly with precise cuts I could see the babies health as he was beating his heart. I grabbed the baby out he survived. I washed the knife and have it to Sagawa. "We have a killer on foot I'd expect they killed player 54 as well" I said "We need to stay together" Said Sagawa Hara and Mitsuko shook there head  while Keijo was distracted he was looking around "this kill was very clean how'd they do it and get away?" Asked Keijo "you good Keijo?" asked Sagawa as we were leaving the bathroom "Sorry just curious" Keijo said as he walked out the door. "The game is still a foot and yet no one has discovered how player 54 died when you have your answer use your cyber link if your answer is correct the next round will be started remember if you come upon a dead body you can take their card allowing you to get a new suit or maybe a special card" the voice said as the bells rung Lunch would be over by now 1230pm. "Megumi's the only other dead for now so we need to just find another dead body and this game will be cleared!" We walked around the school in search for the dead body. Hara was crying as she held the baby "Hey I know your going through a tough time  but we got your backs" I said Hara nodded. "She was my friend you know?" Hara responds I grab her shoulder "I'm sorry  let's survive for her sakes" I said patting Hara on the back. "Yeah" She says wiping her tears. We walked past the art room when I saw something it looked realistic I walked up to it and it was a man hanging this was player 54 Hara gasped "Oki" she said "What?" I questioned "That man is Oki he hung himself he was the father of Megumi's child" She said "Wait!" I said I turned the body there was a puncture in it someone stabbed him. "Was it the same person who killed  Megumi?" I asked "No couldn't be he hung himself but he was also stabbed maybe he chose to die then someone assisted his suicide?" Sagawa said "That knife was it the killer's?" I said "What?" Sagawa said "knife in your pocket what if it was Megumi's?" I said "What are you insisting?" Said Hara "You think she killed him then killed herself?!" Hara said as she pressed me holding my collar. "I'm sorry but it's not out the blue whose to say she was stabbed by someone else?" I said. "The vent though" Sagawa said "By the time Hara left the bathroom there wasn't enough time for someone to slip through the vent and get a clean kill and especially not enough time to get back in there we confronted Shina and her guys for least then a couple seconds" I said I used my cyber link time to answer  it read "do you have an answer? wrong answers have a limited choice once chosen at least two wrong answers you will die agree to these terms". I clicked agree  "Question one who killed Oki?" "Answer A he killed himself alone, answer B he was assisted by killer in his death Answer c FINAL SOLUTION"  The answer was B I clicked B and was correct Next question "Who killed Megumi? Answer A Herself Answer B Final Solution Answer C she was killed by an alive player" I chose A I was incorrect! My choice was wrong so she was murdered by someone I get a second answer anyway I selected C and was correct who killed her?  I got a screen which said you win round 1 select allies to move on there was a choice with the names of my friends put in a group called Hiro's group.  I clicked it as I obtained Oki's card the 3 of diamonds.

A banging sound was heard in the vents as Sadako was trying to hush her friend Chiharu. "Yes I killed that pathetic pregnant bitch she stole Oki from me it's not even bad to do" said Sadako Chiharu groans. "Also Megumi had a card which told her to kill I hold it in my hands" Chiharu was concerned as she groaned more and bit the hand of her friend. She realized the danger she was in as she crawled out the vent as quickly as possible. "Why run Chiharu you can't get far!" She says laughing  "I'm not going to kill you as long as you stay with me!" She said Chiharu turned back. She didn't have a knife she couldn't kill her right now anyway the vent was too narrow choking her would be ineffective so there was merit to her claim anyway they were friends. "Round 1 of game 1 has ended with the winners gaining expulsion from the next round Round 2 final solution starts.

Our cyber links told  us a coordinate in the school to go to class 3-C we ran up the stairs and laid down in that room we were safe from the next game. 

The next round started as Shinji Murakami was playing. "This round is final solution the game rules will be explained when you gather up" A announcer spoke. A cyber link was sent to the 2nd floor.

Chapter 1 part B Final Solution
Shinji was sitting around a table Sadako, Chiharu, Shina, Tatsumi, Kotonowaka, and the rest of the players were around this table "Game mode flood on the current floor you must find the ten keys you have 15 minutes before the flood arrives and after that the acid flood will murder you" The kids are outraged screaming while Murakami was chill. Murakami starts running off people see this and find it suspicious as he runs off.

"Is the baby ok?" I asked "Yeah just one issue there isn't any food for this infant it's gonna die" Said Hara "Were gonna have to check for it were on the third floor maybe the teacher who use to go here she was pregnant as well we could check for a couple of bottles  me and Sagawa were going to look for them in the teacher lounge we will be safe as long as were on third floor" I said Sagawa followed me as we moved out "Be safe guys" Said Hara as Mitsuko waved.

"I'm in this game alone and alone I am I can't rely on these imbeciles to help me right now the ten keys that lock the upstairs need to be found" Murakami started to think of a plan to help him find the keys as the others searched someone said they found one the time was ticking 9 minutes left. The guy runs up and sticks the key in as he twists it. "Invalid keys" the machine says as his head gets exploded. "Everyone needs to turn the keys at the same time" Murakami picks up the card which he gains an ace of diamonds card. "Well this ability is interesting" Thinks Murakami "Lie detector is a skill which allows you tell find out the truth from simply asking a question" A voice speaks directly to Murakami's cyber link "That's cool" Said Murakami as he turned. Chiharu had been wondering off trying to get away from Sadako "you seemed frightened" Said Murakami "Well yes who wouldn't be an acid flood is coming" Said Sadako "Something about you is off putting" Says Murakami as he looks at Sadako "Whatever could you mean by that boys are so hard to understand" Says Sadako. "Are you a murderer?" Asked Murakami Sadako was confused. "No!" She said Murakami's sense went off "Liar!" Murakami declared Chiharu broke lose as she ran away from the clutches of Sadako. "How did you know!" questioned Sadako "How did you know! tell me! tell me!" She was angered and enraged as she went off the leashes she grabbed Murakami by the collar "I'll keep you satisfied so you don't tell other alright I'll subsequence your manly urges" She wasn't lying but she had to be some weird fiend for this. "Deal" Said Murakami. she licked her lips as they approached where they would exchange there desires. They started making out as Sadako was about to strip Murakami grabbed her by her throat "Oh your into that?" she questioned as he grabbed her neck and twisted her head snapping her neck she was still alive as Murakami grabbed her breast and started feeling her "I'm a cold killer as well" Murakami said as he choked her to death. He gained the new card she had in her death " A new player has died 50 players are still alive" "Joker card there are two in a deck but this one is mine it's only ability is telling me to kill people if I kill everyone but the other joker I'll escape" said Murakami "I'm glad I killed this psychotic bitch though she was hot what a shame" Said Murakami he was talking to himself. The timer was almost out as 5 minutes remained only 8 of the 10 keys had been found as Murakami checked the vents over the dead corpse of Megumi he found a key he walked out the bathroom and put it in front of the lock one key remaining and now 2 minutes left. Chiharu had walked out into the room where she found the last key now she brought the key up. As the key's started to twist A liquid started to seep out of the doors "Chiharu come with me!" Murakami said as he rushed Shina's squad followed him some other randoms did too but must of them didn't understand they just knew they needed to twist the key and so they did opening a gate full of the acid yet unlocking a hallway on the other side of the building Murakami saw Hiro's squad escape that way that's the reason he followed there footsteps the door that was unlocked was too the stairwell and they rushed upstairs to the third floor. Ten people died by the acid flood and unwillingly became sacrifices. "10 players have died 40 players remain" the announcer said. Murakami rushed up the stair well "Where did Sadako go?" asked Chiharu "She must have died in the flood" Murakami said  "I didn't see her with the ten earlier also there was an announcement about two people who died but I only saw one whose head exploded" She said "Maybe she killed herself out of guilt" Murakami said "that's true but she had nothing to kill herself with" said Chiharu "She must have used a wall or strangled herself" Murakami said. 

They rushed up by the time the game ended we had the supplies from the room the baby was safe as my hunch was correct. The first game and punishment round was over concluding the beginning of the games.
