DESTINY GAMES

Anyone can access the tower of destiny with their mind at any time. They can watch the games of others both present and past. But when it is time for them to fight for their lives, both their bodies and minds will enter the tower.

He had heard how it was supposed to happen, but he was still intrigued to see it happen. He watched with rapt attention as the balls began to spin around each other.

The balls became so fast that they couldn't be distinguished from each other. They eventually fused before exploding in a flash of light and sound.

It was like a flash bang went off in front of him. It disoriented him and caused him to swoon. By the time he recovered and could see again, he found himself on a basketball court.

There were ten people in total on the court. Five were on each half of it. There were other people present in the hall, though. They were spectators sitting on the bleachers.

These spectators were only six in number. But their presence weighed heavily on his mind because they are likely to be here in support of one of the competitors. This will tip the scale in favor of whoever it is.

A screen appeared in front of him. It pulled his attention away from his contemplation.

-Title: Dodgeball

-Objective: Survive

-Rule 1: The match will start in five minutes.

-Rule 2: Two teams of five will fight each other using any means possible. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

-Rule 3: The game will end after 10 minutes, or when only 5 people remain.

It appeared in front of everyone, so the players were engrossed with it. Even the spectators also received. This way, everyone involved, directly or indirectly, knew what the game was about.

Next, a loud sound like that of an alarm rang. It echoed off of all the walls, so no one could tell its source. But no one was wondering about its source. They were all paying attention to the timer that had appeared above their heads.

The timer was for 5 minutes. It was counting down to zero. It was also accompanied by the appearance of a basketball. These balls appeared in front of every participant, so there were ten in total.

Kelvin read the rules with a glint in his eye. He examined his competitors and teammates again. This time he watched them for weaknesses.

He found a lot of weaknesses. It was in their posture, the way they were fidgeting, the scared look on their faces, and even the one that looked about ready to cry.

They didn't look like fighters. In fact, they didn't look like they had fought for anything in their lives. They looked like weak sheep that would be easy prey.

He didn't excuse the fact that they were mostly young since the youngest of them was 16 while the oldest couldn't be 20. He too was young, but he knew better than to appear weak in front of others. That's just asking for a beating.

The thought to himself with a dark chuckle, "A beating, eh? I can manage that."

Someone spoke beside him, which caught his attention. "Let's huddle up and plan."

The person that spoke was the person that appeared to be the oldest amongst them. She was blond and beautiful. She also looked confident, which brought out more of her beauty.

This made the other pay attention to her and do what she said. Kelvin was mildly curious, so he decided to huddle up with the other four and hear what she had to say.

No one balked or stated at him because he had changed himself to look like a random person from the internet. He looked just like an ordinary teenager.

She introduced herself with a pat on her chest, "I am Alena. This is my third game, so I am level 3. I have some experience with these games, and I think I have the best way for us to survive."

Another lady asked with a frown, "So what if you are level 3? What is your ability? I will only follow the strong."

Kelvin raised an eyebrow to examine this new lady. He quite agreed with her. If he will follow anyone, they have to be strong. Unfortunately, he is not a follower anymore. His days of being a goon are over. But he was interested in what she had to say.

Alena frowned but replied, "In the spirit of coorperation, I will tell you. I am a speedster. I am fast."

Kelvin's eyes narrowed, but he didn't say anything. He didn't let anything show in his demeanor either.

Alena continued, "Levels 1 to 10 are meant to be easy games. We can survive them if we put in the right effort and are lucky. This game, for example, is a simple game of dodgeball. We can win it easily if we combine our might to eliminate our opponents one after the other. The rules are simple and straightforward. All we have to do is remain the last 5 standing and we will win."

"I recommend that we share our abilities so that we can plan better. Let's introduce ourselves and our abilities."

Kelvin listened with his eyes narrowed. He wasn't interested in what she had to say at all since it was not special knowledge. He also didn't agree fundamentally with her plan for survival. This is because survival is the barest minimum he hopes to achieve.

Survival is good to aim for. But those who aim for survival are likely to die once they leave the novice league. If he hopes to reach level 100 and become a demigod, then he must make achievements. Only then will be able to make a name for himself and also increase the power of his ability.

There was a list of possible achievements and how to achieve them online, so he is well informed on what to do. He plans to achieve one or two to increase his game rating. So the plan of survival won't do for him.
