. . .

"A demon" are the only words that could describe what Marcus looked like. A smile that reached ear to ear, and a towering figure - it was a horrifying sight to say the least.

Four steps, that's all Marcus took. Just four steps and the girl began to run as she heard the noise. Marcus walked into the cave that would remain his base for the majority of the challenge, with a weird aura around him. He seemed too happy for a survival challenge, the pink-haired girl thought.

But Marcus was on cloud nine. He thought back to what the girl looked like, and his smile that reached ear to ear grew even wider. His sharp teeth could be seen now. The girl shivered at the sight.

She was well hidden, as long as she didn't move. She was safe, right?...

The pink-haired girl stayed hidden and watched as Marcus made himself at home in the cave. She couldn't help but feel a sense of dread wash over her as she thought about what he was capable of. She had seen the way he had killed the other person with such ease and brutality. She knew that if he found her, she wouldn't stand a chance.

Without a second thought, the pink-haired girl plunged out the cave deeper into the forest, her eyes scanning the surroundings for any signs of a safe haven. Her heart pounding with fear and adrenaline, she kept moving until she stumbled upon a small cave nestled behind a large boulder.

Cautiously, she crept inside and was relieved to find that the cave was filled with supplies and weapons. It seemed that someone had left them there . She couldn't believe her luck and began to gather the necessary tools for survival, all the while remaining alert for any sign of danger.

As she rummaged through the supplies, the girl couldn't help but feel weary

Suddenly, a noise outside the cave disrupted her thoughts, and her heart skipped a beat. She knew without a doubt that it was M. She quickly armed herself with a weapon and steeled herself for what was to come - the fight of her life.

10 minutes earlier, Marcus had been getting comfortable in the cave, relishing the thought of tormenting his prey. But to his surprise, she ran out of the cave. He had expected her to be smarter than that, especially since it was night and who knew what dangers lurked in the forest. Marcus picked up a strange mask with a horn sticking out, covering half his face and his other eye. He even changed into a suit with white gloves, complementing his pale skin.

Deciding to let her think she was safe, Marcus paused time and followed her just a few meters behind. "Pause," Marcus commanded in a demanding, arrogant, and rough tone.

After ten minutes for her and twenty-five for Marcus, she came to a stop at a weird rock. She noticed a small cave and entered it, surprising Marcus since he was sure he had checked that area. He assumed that the instructors must have added it after he left. Due to his blunder, he made a small noise, but she would have had to be a monkey or something to hear it.

As Marcus paused time for the last time and entered the cave, he saw supplies, a small amount of food, and a ton of weapons. Overwhelmed, Marcus did not want time to resume while he was in awe, so he slapped the spear she was holding out of her hand and sat on one of the crates behind her. Time resumed in the nick of time, and she was standing in front of the entrance, looking around and saw nothing. She assumed she was safe, so she turned around only to see a man with a strange mask on his face that only left a little bit of his mouth sticking out on the right side of his face, but the left side was fully covered, leaving a small room for his eye to see.

He soon pulled down his pant and gave a choice suck or die Ur choice Marcus said a smile appeared as his 25 inch man killer rose then dropped so what's Ur choice.

Hey, author here again. As I mentioned earlier, this story is going to get darker, so if this isn't your cup of tea, feel free to skip ahead to the next chapter. Unfortunately, this chapter is about 300 words shorter, so my apologies for that. I'm here to fill you in on my update schedule: I will be posting a new chapter every Monday, Friday, and Saturday, though there may be some Saturdays that are shifted to Wednesdays. That's all for now, goodbye! And if you're looking for a great novel to read, check out "Villain Retirement" - it inspired this chapter a bit.
