Rich & Wicked

Act 2: Episode 3 - The Mini Games Part 1

[SHIN JIN POV]

Here's a list of the possible winners who all have high potentials.

NUMBER 16 (Kim Hong Jin) - a really fit guy who had strength, agility and endurance. He will be tough opponents for others in a physical game.

NUMBER 04 (Oh Jang Chul) - This one has the aura of a dominating person. He might be also an obstacle from the others who has low self - esteem.

NUMBER 55 (Park Dal Hee) - This woman seems very athletic, look at how flexible she is when warming up. She is pretty and men can't stop looking at her.

NUMBER 70 (Seo Ki Jun) - A young man who is capable of doing anything. He is smart and meticulous and his work. I can see that he has a high chance of winning.

NUMBER 97 (Sun Mi Seon) - I know her, she is an executive manager of the sales team. I heard she's a genius and a really pricky person that you don't want to mess with her. Knowing this makes me want to see her fall down. I don't see the reason why she joins.

{Hey, I have something to ask regarding about the contract}, The camera focus on her, it was 97 Sun Mi Seon.

{The contract seems to be confusing and such but I realize that the contract insisted on using as tools and any kind of punishment will be receive in any demands in a chance of a losing game? What do you mean by that? Do you mean that something will happen to us if we lose?}, she actually saw through the contract that was meant to trick the other party.

{Yeah, I notice that too. The statements in the contract tricks the reader and if you don't analyze it you will fall in the trap. Kindly explain the contract for us}, 70 Seo Ki Jun backed up the question.

"Sir, what should we do?", the staff said.

"Don't worry, all of them already signed a contract, they can't back out now. Let me relay a reply for them"

"Yes, Sir!"

(Yes, that is right. The contract stated that you will be tools to be used in the games. If you lose, you will lose something we demand), the crowd became confuse and started to question each other.

{What will be the demand if we lose?}, 56 asked.

There was a long pause for a moment and the answer could end the silence in an instant, (If you lose, you lose your jobs in WIC corporation).

{What? We aren't toys to play with, you sick bastard! We have stable life because.of our jobs and you want us gone as an employeeif we lose?}, 89 said.

{This isn't fair, we don't know what was set up in the contract, you tricked us to sign it, not knowing the specific details of it}, 112 said.

{I want to back out! My job is the only thing my family is relying on, I can't lose my jov or else I will be begging in the streets along with my family}, 34 said.

{Me too, I want to back out!}, 67 said. 06, 54, 78, 29 also said they will back out.

The participants began to questions and denying the game.

{You can't back out, you signed the contracts weren't you? The only thing to dave your job is play the game. If you back out then you will lose your job instantly without even trying}, 97 Sun Mi Seon reminds them.

{She's right, we are already trap since we signed the contract, they take control of our lives until the end. We could be set free id finish or a lose the game but if you get eliminated, you will lose your position in the company}, 70 Seo Ki Jun backed up Sun Mi Seon.

{That is so unfair, we could have chosen the red line if we know about it!}, 65 said.

{Yeah, we were lured into a trap without even knowing anything}, 87 said.

{We will expose this company once we get out of here! You evil bastards!}, 34 shouted.

{I am afraid you can't do that}, 97 said.

{Why not?}

{The contract also stated that they will fine you 5 million dollars if you leaked any information about the games, or in the worst outcome, you will punish by death}, 97 explained and the whole crowd became more panic. Some of them cried, some was upset and some of them was frustrated.

{The only thing that can save you now is to remain until the end}, 70 said.

(The first game will launch in 1 minute), the countdown started. The series of cries and frustrations were showing up everywhere in that crowd.

The clock ticks, take a risk or lose your wrist. This game can change your life dramatically.

(The first game will now start, please form a line infront of the boxes and took one ballot, no one must discover your ballot or you will be eliminated. Keep your ballot safe as it serves a key to the next game)

The participants formed five lines and each of them took one ballot and inspect their ballot secretly.

(98, 54, 11 and 60 have been eliminated), 64 and 11 shoed their ballots ro each other while 60 and 54 ballots have been discovered by other particpants)

{What? How come I was eliminated when no one saw my ballot!}, 54 says.

{Yeah, me too, no one saw my ballot}, 60 backed up.

{I saw your ballots, 60 is scissor while 54 is paper}, a cunning looking girl said to them.

"Who's she?", I was curious about her.

"She is 28 Do Ha Ra Mastee Shin", the staff said.

She is bold for saying she was the one who got them eliminated, this girl will be one of the possible winners.

(The rules is dont ever let anyone discover your ballot or you will be eliminated, you two was careless for checking your numbes in an open space), 28 said.

{You darned witch you come here},54 charges one her and tried to hurt her. A bystander stopped him and pinned him down the ground.

{Ah, fxk! you won"t get away with this you witch!}, he threatens her but 28 just smiled at him back. I like this girl's gut.

The eliminated players was escorted on their way out .

(The first game is called Janken Tag!)

(Each participants receive a ballot which contains of the following, rock, paper, scissors and the super card Sword!)

(There is only two sword cards available, sword cards are able to defeat any of the pieces. If two swords face off each other they will be eliminated immediately)

(This is how you play the game, you must touched a person that overcomes your piece for example, you are a scissor and you touch player who possess paper then that player will be eliminated, if the player it touched is rock, they will be the one who will be eliminated), The announcer instructed them.

(The particpants who can eliminate two pieces of cards before the timers end will be able to proceed to the next round. The sword cards can eliminate players with no limit but if the swords is both eliminated then the remaining participants will proceed to the next round . You have 10 minutes to complete the task. The game will begin in...

10, Everyone was nervous

8, Some are hesitant

7, They prepaew themselves

6, Finding space to avoid contact

5 , Plannining their strategy

4, Selecting their targets

3, Thinking carefully

2, Ready yourselves

1, The game is here.

*Hoooooooonk*

The sound of a horn came and the participants was quick with their wits. They are about to enter the arena but... No one was leaving their places, they were afraid to get eliminated.

Suddenly, 16 and 55 started running towards players and tag them one by one

(117, 45, 67, 81, 31, 40, 123, 20, 02, 19, 12 have been eliminated), one dash from these two eliminated 6 people each in one go. They already knew their advantage, as long they know who is the other sword is, then they aren't going to be afraid because they are literally an ally.

Participants near them rans out to avoid getting tagged but they arent fast enough to avoid them, (64 ,88, 91, 07, 102, 30, 21, 101 have been eliminated) The elimination contiued as the two swords dominates the other participants, they were King and Queen of this round.

(06, 59 ,73, 22, 08, 122, 109, 95, 76, 34) The number of eliminations wouldnt stop. The bloodlust continued and there is 64 player left, half of the the participants was eliminated in the first five minutes of the game, there is five minutes more and the c*****e of the swords will continue.

(04, 70, 97, 83, 127 have finished their task successfully), as expected, the participants who have the potential to win has already finished their task even in the eye of two hungry lions.

I was searching for 28 and she was breaking the wooden chairs stored in the storage room. She gave them sticks one by one. The two notice the amount of participant gathered near her.

{What are you guys doing?}, 16 ask as he smiles grim.

{Oh this, we were just planning to beat you two up and it seems we are ready}, 28 chuckled and smiled. The participants carrying the sticks are approaching the lions.

Two lions was surrounded by several sheeps with large horns.

{Do you guys really think, you can beat us with just sticks? Then, all of you are stupid for believing her}, 55 said.

{Hey, violence isn't allowed right? These people are going to attack us with this sticks, shouldnt you guys stopped them?}, 16 said.

{You stupid? That rule only exist outside the game, we can do any tricks or cheats inside the game. Now, the cheat will now wipe you two out}, 28 confidently said.

{If you want to win, we must bring the swords down!} 28 shouted.

All the remaining participants tried to take down the two but the duo is just too powerful. No one cant even touch them. The remaining players took off their jackets to get more air and to avoid self pressure.

(10, 63, 108, 124, 50, 99 have been eliminated), 53 players left and it was getting reduce one by one in a second.

I found that 55 is already exhausted and 16 is barely hanging. 32 players surrounded them in a circle. The players run fast towards them maintaining the circle making it smaller and smaller. Then the unexpected happened the circle made an opening so 28 and 23 can enter. They were holding something, it was self made rope out of the jackets they took off earlier. 28 and 23 circled them as they wrap them up together. The opening for the both of them was small, there was no chance of getting out, theu were already wrapped altogether. They successfully managed to bring down the swords 28 and her team wins! I knew this girl was intresting, I wasnt wrong with predictions She has the most highest chance to win the game.

(The swords have been eliminated, all the remaining players wins!)

{Yes!!!!!}, the remaining players shouted with joy and the others cried.

Unfornately, the swordas could have won by not touching others because everytime they get tagged they win but 55 and 16 chose to dominate just to lessen their competition.

(37 participants manage to proceed to the next game and 91 participants were eliminated. For winning the game, each qualifier will be given 50 thousand dollars), the cries turns into excitement and cheers.

(Please follow the men in black to prepare for your next game), You can no longer see sad faces but on the otherside of the screen, it was bus full of eliminated players who lost their jobs from the game. You can only see upset and sad faces.

55 and 16 entered the bus and the others jeers at curse at them. 55 was slapped and 16 was beaten up outside the bus.

{We were only being gentle because we were cautious so that we can avoid your touch. You are only strong inside but a pathetic being outside}, they said as they stomp on him.

55 was harrassed by the girls on the bus, they cut her hair, ripped her clothes and spit on her.

I was actually really impress by the two of them, they bring the fun I need. I was really satisfied because of them, " Stop them", I ordered.

The bystanders quickly went to the site to the prevent the situation.

"Bring 55 and 16 here", I ordered. They will be a perfect tool for my upcoming game, I am sure they will be of use.
