Instructions

•••

The following you are about to read is an entire work of fiction. It adopts a new experimental style of writing that is meant to not merely scare you, but leave you utterly terrified °_°

Here, you would be invited into a chat room with four other Hive members from across the blockchain. Together, you all will partake in a mysterious game by @zeraton known as Zera's Game. Details about the game would be related to you and the rest of the other players once you enter into the chat room.
Be calm, steady, focused, and relaxed; simply go to a quiet place where you would be undisturbed for a period of 8-10 minutes as you explore the mystery that awaits you below. Remember, it is only with a calm and focused mind, that one would be able to survive beat the game.

If at all anytime during the game, you feel yourself getting too tensed, frightened, or disturbed; you need not worry, for you must remember, it is only a game :)

Zera's Game Group Chatroom

••••••••

Welcome Players from far and wide across the Blockchain to ZERA'S Game!

My name is Zeraton and I will be your host for this evening.

In a moment the room will be open to all players so they may familiarize with themselves. Then, once further instructions and guidelines into the nature and object of the game has been related, we shall then begin.

However, shortly before that, I urge you now to consider the following numbers below:carefully.

⓭, ➊, ➎➒, ➏➏➏, ➊⓿⓿

These numbers are and would be very important to you as the game progresses. You must select only one from the five displayed. Then, immediately the chatroom opens, you must send in a message confirming the number you have selected.

Good luck:)

Today at 11:59pm

The Chatroom is now open to all players

Player 2 has joined the chat

Lizzy

Rivernotflows
Well I'm going for 13, best to stay safe👀...

Player 4 has joined the chat

Slothlydoesnotdoit
Slothlife 100%🦥!!! - to clarify though, I'm choosing a 100😅

You have been muted by the host and cannot send any message to the chat.
This is a private message.

Lizzy
Kay... so I'm guessing i'm player 2 then?... If it's like that then, what are all these numbers for???

Rivernotflows
Pff... Knowing this guy, it's probably for something really sick and twisted.

Lizzy
Oh?... You think so?

Rivernotflows
Yup😬

Slothlydoesnotdoit
Sloths ! Sloths! Sloths! Sloths!!!


Crazyfranco183
Yo! @rivernotflow What up! Longtime! Haven't seen you around the Blockchain in a while! How's business at that garden community of yours?

Rivernotflows
Oh hey @crazyfranco! Longtime indeed. Oh, not much - just a little this and that. But yeah, all is well at the community. How about you? Still mining graveyards?...👀

Crazyfranco183
Haha! Yup! Gotta make a living someway 😅

Slothlydoesnotdoit
Oh, after the game, y'all mind checking out the sloth.buzz community and discord later?

👍2
‎ ‎ ‎

Lizzy
Nope. Can the game start now Zeraton??? ^_^

Rivernotflows
Jeez.. lighten up would ya! Sure slothly, I don't mind checking it out😁

Slothlydoesnotdoit
Sweet! Thanks!

The host has muted all room members

Hello Players! And welcome once again to Zera's Game - a new experimental innovation to hit the Blockchain. The nature of the game is "roleplay", whereby players would be put in teams of 5 as they explore several obstacles and scenarios along the way. Each scenario has been written into 5 chapters that summarizes an entire short story. The object of the game is simple, to reach the light at the very end - something we call *the Ether.

Now, in just a brief moment, we will begin with the game. But first, allow me a moment to familiarize you with the rules and guidelines.


𝕿𝖍𝖊 𝕽𝖚𝖑𝖊𝖘 𝖆𝖓𝖉 𝕲𝖚𝖎𝖉𝖊𝖑𝖎𝖓𝖊𝖘 𝖔𝖋 𝖅𝖊𝖗𝖆'𝖘 𝕲𝖆𝖒𝖊

•••

  1. Under no circumstances are players to leave the chatroom unless granted permission by the host, forfeiting occurs, or players happen to get terminated before the end of the game— whichever comes first.

  2. Players are to abide by the code and requirement of their roles: As instructed at the beginning, you were all asked to select one number each from the 5 displayed. Well, in reality, each of those numbers represented specific roles only unique to the game. See list below to understand your roles:

  • Team Leader(1): Is in charge of overall decisions and outcomes made by the team. In other words, whatever he/she decides, is word.

  • Mage(13): Has the ability to go back in time. However, the time travel spell is limited to only one time lapse; with that time lapse having a travel boundary of the nearest chapter.

  • Salvator(100): Has the unique ability to see into the future. However, it is limited to an outcome of only one preceding chapter.

  • Follower(59)- Has no special ability. Simply follows along with the team.

3.) Under NO circumstances are you allowed to report this game. If you are unsure you cannot abide to this then, feel free to exit the game immediately; for once we start playing, there is no turning back °_°

Goodluck Players :)

The chatroom is now open again

Slothlydoesnotdoit
Hmm.... Well that last part was certainly unsettling °_° But that ain't gonna stop me! I mean, i can see into the freaking future for God's sake! Like I'll chicken out now...🤣

Rivernotflows
Haha, I know right? Look at me! I'm a mage!

Crazyfranco183
Nonsense! None is greater than your almighty Team Leader!🦸🏼‍♂️⚔️

Lizzy
Pff... Nerds🙄

🤣2
‎ ‎ ‎ ‎

Slothlydoesnotdoit
Jeez, what's your problem @lizzy or should I say @buzzkill

Rivernotflows
Lol, don't mind her. She's just jealous she only got the follower role😂

Lizzy
Pff... Hey, Zeraton guy! Didn't you say something about there being 5 numbers and 5 players?... So, where's the other guy???

Zeraton has entered the chat

Ah yes, but of course! Player 5 - the one whom bares the special number 666.

Before hand, his/her role and number, had already been automatically (reluctantly) selected by the system; and consequentially, the player was muted from the chatroom. Unfortunately, much information about this player cannot be disclosed as of now. However, I can assure you that they play a very important role in the game.

Think of their role as something like that of a "ghost" — an observer. They cannot speak, nor can they act, their keyrole is to watch over the team from the darkness.


Lizzy
Hmm... Sounds sketchy but, ok I guess.

Rivernotflows
Ouuu... I love it! I'm actually getting kinda hyped for this now lol😅

♥️2
‎ ‎

Crazyfranco183
Lol, same.

Slothlydoesnotdoit
Wait hold up a minute, 666??? Ain't that the mark of the devil or?🤣

Crazyfranco183
Shit! You're right 😂😂

Lizzy
Lol, looks like we've got the devil's spawn watching over us guys👀... XD

Rivernotflows
Aw... Don't listen to them Player 5! We're in this together! Spawn or no spawn💛

Crzyfranco183
Well shit! Me??? Hmm... What'd you guys think?

Rivernotflows
LoL, don't ask us! It's your choice silly!

Lizzy
Yeah, I thought you were our fearless leader huh? ^_^

Crazyfranco183
Yeah but... It's my little brother we're talking about here!

Slothlydoesnotdoit
LoL, just go along with it man🦥. Game just started, it'd be a shame to just end it like this.

Crazyfranco183
Yeah... I bet.

Lol, guess lil bro's gonna have to sit this one through for now😅. Uh... System, I choose to go on with the trip!

Very well.

Dear players, I wish to fervently warn you now that from this point here on, the game will only get more intense. And although, it is not conventional, I will still grant each one of you, one final chance to forfeit the game while you still can - without extermination of course. Lest, we continue with the story.

Slothlydoesnotdoit
Heck no! This too good! I'm in it till the end!🦥

Rivernotflows
Yeah, same here! I wanna reach that the Ether thingy😁

Lizzy
I honestly don't care😒

Crazyfranvo183
Sweet! Apart from Liz, love the enthusiasm team! Let's go!✊🏻

Very well then, system - begin the next chapter.

The choice is left for the group.

Once decision has been made, type in "Mission" to go ahead and rescue player 5 or, type in "Cops" to retreat to the authorities.


Crazyfranco183
Pff... It's that even an option? Of course we've gotta rescue him! Right guys?

Rivernotflows
I second that! We can't just leave him like that!

Lizzy
I don't know guys... I think it might be better if we just call the cops instead. This seems sketchy.

Slothlydoesnotdoit

Can't believe I'm saying this but, I'm with Liz! Charging butthead in like that, could only make the situation worse! Heck y'all saw that creature before right? It's a freaking trap I'm telling ya!

Lizzy
Yup, I agree.

Rivernotflows
But we can't just leave the poor thing there like that!

Crazyfranco183
Yeah! I mean, what if like... by the time we get to the cops, he's already been hurt or worse!

Lizzy
True, but there's also a chance that the note could be a hoax! I mean for all we know, Player 5 could've just gotten scared by all those screams and noises he heard back at the house, and just simply ran off in fear!

Slothlydoesnotdoit
Yeah, we can't just take some random mysterious note's word for reality! I mean, this is a FREAKING HORROR GAME afterall right??? Best to play it safe I say...😅

Crazyfranco183
But guys! Even if he did run off, there's no way a kid could survive in that dark, monster infested forest alone! I say we spare no time or chances, and save him right away

Atleast, while we still can!

Lizzy
Pff... fine! You're the boss👀...

Crazyfranco183
Thank you! How bout you Sloth? You in?

Slothlydoesnotdoit
Sure man... If that's what the team wants then, let's go🦥

Yayyy

Crazyfranco183
LoL, you know it's a trap dude?🤣

Slothlydoesnotdoit
Yeah I know😆 But I wanna be spontaneous a little - like a sloth ;)

Rivernotflows
LoL, don't do it dude😂 Fight back!

Lizzy
Yeah! You're just wasting our time!l honestly 😒

Slothlydoesnotdoit
Hell nah! Now I wanna do it even more now!😆 You can't stop sloths! Were too damn unpredictable! Woohoo!!! Sloth life🦥

System, I choose to not fight back. Let those voices lead me on baby!!!🦥🦥

Lizzy
Shit, wasn't that our only see into the future guy?

Oh, it will seem as though player 4 is dead. Hmm, a shame. However now, he must be terminated and removed from the game.

System! Show player 4 his death card.

Loading Death card

Death by Intoxication .png


My data shows that you all have a mage amongst you. Understand that there is still an option to revive player 4, by traveling back in time

Does the group intend to use the spell?

Crazyfranco183
LoL, we told you not to bro! I say we finish the game without him🤣

Lizzy
Yeah! I agree!

Rivernotflows
Oh common guys! Give him another chance!

Lizzy
No way! That time travel thing could come in handy at a much more important time!

Crazyfranco183
I agree. System, we choose no to revive Player 4.

LoL, if you're reading this man, sorry😂. Don't take it personal - you were kinda an idiot afterall😅

Understood

Unfortunately players, Player 4 has been terminated.

Crazyfranco183
Oh my God! WTF!!!🤢

Lizzy
What the actual hell?😮😧

Rivernotflows
Jesus Christ! What the fuck is that?🤢

Player 5 has been successfully terminated and as such, will no longer be taking part of the game.

Crazyfranco183
What the?... What the bloody hell is this man! You just... You just freaking killed him! What in the living...? When?... How????

Rivernotflows
Zeraton, what the hell is going on man? What the hell did you do to that guy?...

Lizzy
Ah huh... This better be a joke😳

I'm afraid this is no joke. The evidence is right there. And as in accordance to the rules, player 4 has been duly terminated from the game.

Crazyfranco183
What the fuck are you talking about man?!!! You just freaking murdered someone!!!!!

You know what, that's it! I'm freaking outta here! I'm done. This is crazy... You're fucking crazy!🚶🏼‍♂️
...

Rivernotflows
Yeah! Count me in! And you can bet the first thing I'm gonna do once I leave, is report this damn game to the witnesses and then, I'm fucking calling the cops you monster!!!

Lizzy
Hell yah! Same here. Wtf?

The host has locked the chatroom. No one is allowed to send any messages or leave...


Now listen and listen very carefully players, and choose your next steps very carefully. Resulting in any of the above you have mentioned, will result in the direct violation of the rules and guidelines of the game; which in turn, WILL lead to your immediate termination.

Need I remind you that before the game began, you were given crystal clear Terms and conditions to follow, that entailed your solemn agreement to all that was mentioned in the contract - including death - upon your participation in this game no? Yes! Yes...

So in reality, this makes this game as valid as a driver's license!

Now remember, it is your right to forfeit this game at any time; however, according to the contract as well, it is also my right to terminate you once you do so.

So, it's you choice? Play the game and survive or forfeit and die? :)

The choice is yours players

The host has unlocked the chatroom. Players may now send messages or leave the chatroom

Rivernotflows
Dear God, what the hell is happening?...

THANKS FOR READING AND KEEP EXPLORING!

Sort:  

Damn... After all those markup codes and all that goddamn formatting! Still, that perfectionist beast that lurks inside me is far from satisfied!!!

Hey! So if you're reading this, there's a high chance you read that whole thing and actually enjoyed it? So, Yippee!


In reality, the post was supposed to be a sort of Halloween special but because of my procrastinating lazy ass that kept on... well... PROCRASTINATING! I wasn't able to finish it until today. Still, it wasn't going to sit right with me if I didn't post it regardless.

Hmm, I wonder... is it too late to claim that Halloween badge @arcange? 🙃

Got big plans for this project later on though(after I finish editing the sequel this evening of course. Yup! Been coding an app and website for it and everything! You know, just to try and amplify the whole experience. But more about that later.

Till then, cheers!

is it too late to claim that Halloween badge @arcange? 🙃

Unfortunately, Yes. Procrastination is your worst enemy, especially when it comes to grabbing time-limited badges.

Damn, that sucks. Oh well😅

On the other hand, you're now free to procrastinate till next year to get the Halloween badge 😂

BTW, I noticed I miss your witness vote 😢
Do you mind casting one to me? It would be much appreciated!

Ha!😂 Is that so? Never thought it that way actually😅

Oh, I thought I already voted. I'll try again though.

Thank you.

Yay! 🤗

Well, what can I say, I was enjoying it, sloth life 100%!!! (And totally recommend checking out slothbuzz if you read this far!) Even if that slothdoesnotdoit! Thanks for using my gifs!

but...."I" (That sloth) died..... cmon man!

untitled.gif

How many sloths do you know that would walk away on their own, and more to the point, fast enough that no one would notice? HAHA

Love the story, and love the effort! Love the game! Maybe we can make it into a role-playing game via discord or something?!?! We did have people asking for DnD nights there, this could be much more entertaining!

Oh hey bud! Good to see you here

And ha! Someone's gotta die at some point right?😂For shock value lol °_°.
Trust me though, it only gets darker from here.

How many sloths do you know that would walk away on their own, and more to the point, fast enough that no one would notice?

That is actually a freaking good analysis if you think about it!! XD. Uh... I'd say we know one now at least 😏

And oh😲... That could be a start actually! Although, I wanted the game to have a unique website of it's own, you know, one free from the limitations of discord's design and function; that way, we could design the website according to our preference. Plus, I really wanted it to be connected to the Blockchain somehow - you know, something like Splinter lands maybe?....

But uh still! Starting a discord is a good place to start :)

I'll DM you!

Dms are open, happy to try to facilitate something, I like the idea of having it without limitations, so what better place to start than discord, bounce some ideas around and see what works before taking it mainstream? Love the creativity you bring to every post!

Gave me a saw vibe!
I like that some things are left to the imagination... music, as always, spooktastic!
To be 110% honest I felt it was a bit hard to follow at a few points, but I am also really baked right now, so it could be that too 😅

I understood what was happening, but had to think too much about what player was which, and what their skills were- I think if instead of player whatever #, you said "the mage" etc, it would be good for round 2?

Still fantastic, A fresh idea that was a journey for sure 🤩YOU ROCK!

Saw vibes??😱 Lets GO!!!!

To be 110% honest I felt it was a bit hard to follow at a few points

Ah, I did suspect that might happen. Tis why I encouraged reading it when you're relaxed or less occupied at least. It's a long read tbh and there's a lot of info to take in so
... A clear head before reading is always recommended.

Oh yeah, the mage is involved in the sequel.

🤩YOU ROCK!

Aw... No you do!!... Okay fine, I do 😌

Thanks for reading!

Helluva imagination you got here and I'm not sure wether I should admit it or not but I lost count how many times I clicked that image that says click image to reveal.

😂😂
No way!! Ha! The sheer thought of you constantly clicking it is killing me 🤣

Crap! Crap!!! Is my computer broken or something? ಥ_ಥ

I crave for more😩, was thinking it's a real thing where I have to do something, I found myself clicking on things but it didn't respond and I knew it was all a trick that I just had to read.

I feel so sorry for the players actually,they are into something they can't get out of. Now this feels like the crazy squid game film. Haha.

Come to think of it dude, your imagination is so wild and such game with such terms and condition is more like a sick shit, I wouldn't opt in if such game were to be real. Haha, I love my life. Tag me still in the next part please 🥺

Ha! I see😂. Apparently @dandays wasn't the only one.

In reality, the game is meant to be interactive; that is, in a sense where all players can react with each other in real time. But unfortunately, due to some limitations with the Blockchain, that's not exactly possible.😅 HOWEVER, tis why I've been working on a code to incorporate a live chatroom where all players would be able to interact with each other LIVE during the game!

Still a working progress though but, is that something you could see your self getting into in the nearest future??


Oh and hell yeah! I was going for a sort of SAW/Squid game type of thing - with all the deaths, mystery, and twists and all.

Aw man... I'm so glad you enjoyed it!😁 And fear not, the tags will remain the same.

But unfortunately, due to some limitations with the Blockchain, that's not exactly possible

I totally understand.

is that something you could see your self getting into in the nearest future??

With such terms and conditions? Hell no, I wouldn't! I still love my life dude. How can I opt for a game that could cause me my life is I made any silly mistake? Hahaha, that'd be the craziest thing ever.

And fear not, the tags will remain the same.

🤸🤸💃💃
