Freed boarded the ship that would take the participants to the agent examination. There were already many participants onboard, coming from other places where the ship had docked.

The captain introduced himself, welcomed them on the ship and wished them good luck. They prepared a feast for the participants.

The participants were delighted to see the food and drinks the captain and the crew had prepared for them.

They ate and drank joyfully, and started chatting with each other.

The band began to play music.

Time passed.

(The scene starts with Freed waking up.)

Everyone is asleep. Freed just woke up.

"I fell asleep? It was already evening ha," says Freed.

The whole sea is full of mist. The ship is in the middle of a misty sea.

"Where are we?" says one man.

"What is this place?" says the other.

One by one, everyone is beginning to wake up.

Freed tried to look for the captain of the ship, but he couldn't find him.

"Does anyone know where the captain is?" Freed asked.

"The crew is also not here," the others said.

"The captain is missing along with the rest of the crew," some group of people said.

"What in the world!" says one man.

"Did they abandon us in the middle of this fog?" says the other.

Freed remembered that after eating the food he started to feel sleepy.

"Maybe they put something in the food to make us sleep, but why?" Freed said in his mind.

"I think they put sleeping medicine in our food," says Freed.

"Now that you mention it, I do feel sleepy after I eat," says one man.

"I also remember that," says the other.

"Yeah, I also remember getting sleepy," says every other man.

"So they put us to sleep, then left us all alone here in the middle of nowhere? We don’t even know where we’re going," the other man said.

"What? Is this some kind of a joke?" the participants said.

"What the hell is this place? Where are we? The mist is so thick," one man said.

While the crowd was talking, the wind began to whistle from one direction.

The gust blew and started to get stronger as time passed.

The waves were also getting bigger. The whole ship slowly began shaking. Men on board were panicking and fearful of what was happening.

What’s happening? says the crowd.

"Does anyone know how to operate this ship? Since we were left on this ship on our own, we should work together if we want to survive this night," says Freed.

"Everyone in this ship is needed," says Freed.

"Yeah," says all the people onboard.

"Anyone who knows how to operate the helm of the ship go to the helm's room. Others must handle the telescope to look for land. The others will help with the sail. The remaining will find any map that is on the ship," says Freed.

The wind was very strong, and the tides were getting violent. The whole crew struggled to manage the ship.

The water current was starting to swirl, and a massive whirlpool was forming.

The sails were getting torn apart by the wind.

The ship was slowly getting sucked into the whirlpool.

The main masts were also torn apart.

The ship was going round in the swirling current of water.

Then the gust of wind crushed the bowsprit.

Whoosh....the ship got sucked in by the whirlpool, then everything went black for Freed and all the crew.

Pitch black panel...

Aghhhh...(sound)

Freed along with some other crew members slowly woke up.

"What just happened?" says Freed.

"Where are we? What is this place?" says the others.

They were docked on a beach of an island.

The ship is now torn apart.

Along the coast line. They saw several other ships that were also there.

"Look! There are other ships here," says one man.

“Really? Let me see,” says the other.

People from other ships began to come out.

“There are also people coming out!,” says one guy.

“Are they the same as us? Did they also get wrecked by that whirpool?,” says one.

“Are they participants also?,” says one

"One by one, the coast is now being filled by the survivors of every ship."

There were sixty people present on the coast line. All were wet, curious and observing the surroundings.

"Then, a man is coming from the forest and walking towards us.

'Welcome to Paradis Helheim,' says the man with a wink."
