"Everyone, this is the site of the Hunter Exam's third phase. You'll be competing here at the top of Trick Tower. In order to pass this phase, you must reach the base of the tower alive. The time limit is 72 hours, and with that, the exam's third phase will now begin. Good luck to each and every one of you."

Beans announced as everyone gathered in front of him. They were leaving us on top of this thing. On the top of the tower, it was clear of everything but people.

It got to a point that the more you looked around the fewer people you would see.

Didn't make any sense considering there was no visible way down for all those people. Standing beside the boys we watched a man start to climb down.

He was getting somewhere up until big red monsters flew past him and one ate him.

"What was that?!" I screamed. All I'm picturing is them coming and taking us off the top of this tower. I wasn't scared at least not of the creature but the height we were at. I guess I was afraid of heights.

Backing up enough to not see anything below us the floor tilted. Before I could stop myself I let out a scream as I collapsed onto another floor. No. You can't be serious.

Was this really where everyone else went to? I searched around before spotting a screen that was just white.

Leaving me to notice that I was completely alone. Maybe there are different places on the top that lead to different rooms.

A minute later the light dimmed and a man's face showed up on the screen. "A shame you fell through this one little girl." I assume was an examiner told me. I rolled my eyes.

I know I'm a child and I'm 5'0, but he seems smaller than me. "This path is 'Would You Rather.' The bracelet in front of you is to be used to choose what you'd rather do. Best of luck." The screen shut off and I picked up the bracelet.

I feel like that's something that deserves a lot more explaining. Guess I should be lucky I even got a little.

So use the bracelet for the choice I pick. Walking into the door that opened after his speech.
