His video showings showed his great balance on many occasions, just like how he surfed his way down in the staircase railings during the first round of the game. It was then he had met Lucas. The way he gets himself out of multiple grave situations is creative. He climbed up the stadium audience area like a piece of cake and the time where he was cornered was when the gates of the stadium burst open. He kicked himself up to the walls until he was pulled up. On various occasions he became a bait, the people he was with during the period had more than 90% survival rate.

Additional Skill Points: 76 pts

Total: 95 pts
His background videos will make everyone weary of him. All he does is betray and carry out favours. The video showed him pushing Aaron then runs away, beating Hiraya she tried to stop him from abandoning their group in the second round and abandoning Unica by the door. He had this smug face when he mouthed, ‘Goodluck’ to her. It was shown how quickly he can switch groups and how he was a part of Hiraya’s harassment.
It made Aaron grind his teeth and as if a lion baring his teeth against prey, he looked at Brandy with murderous look.
It was also because of him why the third placed in the last round, died. Seeing that the area around the safe room is overrun. He waited until someone partially cleared it and then ran and pushed him out of the way.
Even though Aaron wanted to kill that bastard right there and then, someone else got their hands on him faster.
Apparently the guy he killed was part of their group.
In sixth place was another man from Liam’s group. His video showed how he is good at long distance shots, and better in hand combat. He has martial arts skills. Landing in 6th place with a total score of 101 pts.
[5th Place- Athena]
Game 1: 10pts, Game 2: 7 pts Game 3: 6 pts
Additional Skill Points: 120 pts
Sleath, Strength, Adaptable, Flexible, Observant, High Minded, Calm against Crises, Outstanding Soldier
Her video was short. It’s either she is just passing very brief on the camera or she is staying still, like when they were trapped in the VIP Room in the stadium. Aside from that, her images can only be played in slow motion to determine where she was. Her exit in the first game was almost smooth and fast that she got out first, among hundreds of players.
On the day, Lucas went to bait himself after Penelope got bit. Athena came out from a blindshot of the video before offering help. Same thing happened when they got separated at the attack on the field after Brandy’s betrayal. In the third round, she is like an assassin who keeps popping here and there targeting the undeads from the back. Guessing it happened after Lucas fell asleep during that time, it was her who gave the finishing blow on one newly turned undead.
She exceeds 100 points on additional skills because her sleath alone gave her 83 points.
By the time the 4th placer was announced, they didn’t look at the 4th placer but on someone who has not been called until now. An unexpected fellow.
[4th Place- Aaron]
Game 1: 6 pts, Game 2: 8 pts Game 3: 9 pts
Additional Skill Points: 170
Strength, Resistance, Endurance, Power, Loyalty, Superior Soldier, Dependability, Support, Guard, Killer Instincts.
As if the system is praising Aaron with all these skill points, it showed on the video his one kills, the way he ran around the field while buying time for Lucas and him defending the people with his slightly c***k police shield. Seeing the people panicking to go down, it can only be during the first round. It was also shown how he pulled up Elijah with strength. Him being on frontlines after the ambush by the door on the second game. His assists in the third round and finally his overwhelming strength as he killed two newly turned undead. The video also showed his zero tolerance of selfish behaviours, it was when he half beaten to death Brandy. Even that part was a good mix for him. People can't help but be wary and awe at him.
He is really dependable.
As the ranking went up, the more tension was felt in the air.
Lucas felt a strong intent to stare from not far and in Liam’s direction but chose to ignore it. He already knows the reason… that is because it’s already down to Top places but Lucas’ name has not been called yet.
As the third placer was announced. Lucas got all the stares. The placer is not him but Liam's close subordinate. Like Aaron, he possesses almost the same qualities as him except he has First-Class Soldier and Ruthless. Unlike Aaron who defends all his subordinates, the third placer defends only Liam and the inner circle of their group. He is usually quiet and gives an eerie look of disdain. There was not much interaction between him and Lucas' group since he doesn't deviate to what Liam wants.
A total of 175 points for him.
“Dude. You are amazing. Can’t believe you made it to the top two.” Elijah gave him a nudge.
“Yeah…” Lucas agreed. Compared to the last two, his kills and rankings from the games are not comparable.
“Ah! It's not like you don’t deserve it, we make it here because of you, afterall… Maybe you’ll get a strategist or great mind as additional skills points…” Elijah keeps blabbing, getting ridiculous skill names.
[Earning the 2nd Place…]
The woman's voice continued to announce. A second later Lucas’ face was displayed on the screen. The system didn’t say any of the players' names and just showed their faces on the screen.
Game 1: 5 pts, Game 2: 8 pts Game 3: 1 pt
It was a pathetic score. Except for game two, he received the lowest ranking on other games.
His additional skills are. Observant, Evaluator, Quick Mind. Intelligence, Fast Response, Cunning, Decisive, Choreographer, Actor, Calm Against Crisis.
The skill names are bad enough and it turned worse as the evidence of his actions had been shown.
There was not much of him killing undead because he always placed himself on the safest spot in the formation. In the first round he placed himself on the middle back. With Aaron in front, Hiraya on the other side and the skinny man, whose name Lucas already forgot.
He just kept observing and alert as his focus came to the timer. The video also showed how he misdirected Liam’s group and joined their group. There were clips that showed Lucas is looking grim and serious and when someone talks to him, his expression will soften. Yes, just like a professional actor. Cases like, when he turned to look at Unica with cold indifference who tried to get out first on the second round. He had this expression after closely dealing with the new recruits on the same round but this expression was seen most in the third round. As he watches the woman dying outside after trying to open his cell, when he opened the cells of two men to let out a horde in, the time when Aaron, Elijah and Athena went down to find the safe rooms, he showed indifference, lastly he stared at the open door, while undead tried to get to him but the room protected him by shooting the undeads. At the end of the round, his points surpassed the current 10th placer, a woman. Her doors opened, and her scream resonated and it made Lucas smile a little.
That’s the end of his video. Everyone including Lucas himself was staring at the screen with unblinking eyes.
“D,did y,you smile?” Elijah's broken voice asked.
Lucas himself doesn't remember. He is raking his brains, did he have that expression all this time?
[Total Points: 220 pts]
Only a small amount of attention was brought to the first placer. As if, it is already given.
[1st Place - Liam]
Game 1: 7 pts, Game 2: 7 pts Game 3: 10 pts
Additional Skill Points: [261 pts]
Leadership, Intelligence, Adaptability, Strength, Quick-Mind, Observant, Decisive. Charisma, Influencer, Commander in training, Decision Maker.
His video mostly showed his success in leading groups and being on frontlines. Though both him and Lucas had been acting as brains of the group, the difference between them is wide. While Lucas showed he was hiding behind, Liam showed leadership. Cunning as Lucas, Liam was blunt and vocal.
[Congratulations Players! Please take a good rest while we prepare for the Last Round of Games…]
*Beep
The hologram shuts down and the rules are displayed again.
With ten people in the room, the silence was heavy to bear. Lucas is staring and trembling while looking at the floor. What he had seen doesn't make sense.
“You can drop the act now.”
A voice called to him.
