Supremacy Games

Dumbfounded and confused, The MC and the spectators stared wide-eyed at the shrinking storm. They were just celebrating and chanting Levi's name over securing the championship with a marvelous play. Yet, that alarm tied their tongues, leaving them stunned not knowing what to do anymore.

Their confusion was understandable, as battle royals were supposed to end immediately after one player emerges as the last survivor. Yet, this was exactly the case, but the storm didn't stop its activities.

'Why the hell is it still active? Our champion is about to get killed!'

Muddled and mortified about the entire situation, The MC Titus felt his heart sink at the thought of having a battle royal without a winner.

If it happened, the game would turn into the greatest joke in the SG, and as its MC and judge, this humiliation would accompany him through his entire life and afterlife. He understood clearly that his career was currently hanging on a thin line. He must find the anomaly, which was causing this fucked up situation to save it.

Without delaying any further, he put his entire focus on the 500 small screens. His eyes darted from one to another, examining the corpses of the players thoroughly before moving to the next. He already had some theories on his mind.

He believed that a player was using *fake death* passive in those bodies around Levi. This must be it. Otherwise, the only two options left were either someone was still alive within the storm, or the game was bugged somehow. If the 2nd option defied common sense than the SG having a bug was beyond absurdity.

The SG never had a bug or an issue happening in a game throughout the million years of its existence. The Queen made sure everything was running smoothly both in the UVR and the SG.

Her processing power was no joke, as it was only below the empress of the metal race herself. The only things, which bypassed the Queen supervision, were the loopholes within the rules. But even those get patched instantly by her.

Titus soon finished searching every corpse that was still inside the circle. His eyes which were focused suddenly dimmed a bit, as he found that all of those players were truly dead. He lay on the chair with an unfocused gaze, aiming at the sky. He didn't plan to continue his search, as by the time he finishes Levi would be dead.

'I can't believe I would actually use it.'

Titus's shoulders slumped as he eyed his bracelet with a humiliated and desperate expression.

'Queen, Please show me the players with signs of life.' He gritted his teeth and requested the help of the Queen. If other MCs saw him do so, they would make sure to shame him in public.

For a judge and MC to actually request the help of a third party in a game under his rule was the greatest humiliation in their career.

But, Titus understood that circumstances and time were stacked against him. So, he chose the lesser evil. At least, he would keep his job.

The Queen faithfully marked two small screens with a red 'X' in the middle. Titus ignored Levi's screen and laid his eyes on the other.

'Impossible, no one can stay alive inside the firestorm for that long. So what the hell am I watching now?'

Stupefied and shocked, he abruptly stood up from his chair. This action caused his knee to collide with the desk. Yet, he didn't wince or flinch from the pain, as he was too engrossed, watching a player lying within the storm at the very edge of the map, twitching from time to time.
