Our hearts were moved as we hugged each other. Tears rolled down our cheeks. There was no way of knowing who would survive. The guards came and offered us food, and we were all treated since we had so many injuries.

"Dear Gamers, congratulations on winning the game. For the lost souls, there will be a funeral. Everyone must pay their respects."

 Then I heard people crying in the hallways. My eyes were drawn to the guards carrying coffins containing the bodies of the players. Then I hurriedly changed into the black suit I found in the closet and ran towards the guards. I followed them out of my room. Despite my tears, I remained strong. The bodies were taken and buried. People were dressed in black and some were crying, while others were feeling sad that they couldn't do anything.

 Everyone was frightened of what was going to happen to them. The second round would occur soon.

When I thought about it, I was scared.

1 week later:

During this time, all our wounds were healed. It was easier for me to walk. My body was covered in scars. We ate our food in silence in the auditorium as usual. None of us dared to say anything. 

Suddenly, we heard a loud sound.

"Dear Gamers, please note that the next game is in 2 days. The rules of the game are: 

This time you will play in groups with the people you share your rooms with. You must unite to win round 2. If any one of the players dies, everyone dies automatically. If someone feels pain, everyone else feels it too. 

The nightmares will all happen at the same time and the game lasts up to 2 hours. The game starts at 1 a.m. Everyone must be ready."

We were all afraid that the 2nd round would take place. We all went to our room to find some new clothes placed on our beds.

Neha: What are we going to do? This game is getting even harder and we still need more time to recover from our injuries.

Stephen: We must make a good plan.

Me: We'll decide tomorrow. Now let's all go to bed.

I grabbed my blanket and walked up the stairs attached to the double-decker bed and pulled out my eye covers and put them over my eyes.

The next day :

Tomorrow was the next game. We all went to the auditorium and ate our food. The six of us came back to our room to discuss the plan. 

Robert: We have to work together as a team and win this game. This game will be harder than the other games.

12 p.m.:

We only had an hour for the game. We were all getting ready. We put on the uniform which was a pair of sneakers, a plain white top with a blue jacket because it was very cold in the room last time. 

All the girls had to put their hair in a ponytail and some cut their hair short like boys' cuts. While the boys already had their hair short and some were even bald. We were given one last meal before the game started. A packet of crisps with a small carton of juice.

1 a.m.:

We were all brought into a room. There were six VRs and six chairs. The guards made us sit on the chairs and tied our hands and legs and put the VR sets over our faces. The countdown started5
