Damien observed the lobby and began approaching Silas and the Nurse.

"You still haven't even fought yet, are you just gonna stand there holding that ridiculous pose?" Damien chuckled as he approached Silas who was still in his Muay Thai stance.

"Well I was waiting to be attacked but she doesn't seem too motivated to fight feel free to take over, after all my ability doesn't particularly help in close quarter combat." Silas backed away and sat down to observe he didn't seem too motivated to fight either.

"So your a Nurse, I must say I do like your ability of Healing Needles, being able to heal some one through magic needles must be a god given gift for a nurse like you." Damien crept closer and closer to the nurse summoning a pistol with a suppressor into his right hand.

"This isn't a gift from god it's a demonic power, something you trade your life to use so I'm not going to ever use my ability no matter what!" The nurse was hysterical almost crying out her words.

"No worries I will use it for you no problems there I'm sure, ill give you a quick death for not resisting" Damien mercilessly aimed and shot the nurse, being the first time he used a gun though he shot her through her through the cheek making her scream and rive in pain.

Shit my aim is a bit off I should probably practice using guns if I don't want to mess up again in a heated battle. I promised a fucking painless death as well, I'm not a very nice guy.

"My bad I should've just used my blade, sorry for the pain but it's all going to go away soon." Damien shot her point blank this time killing her instantly, he then proceeded to take her ability gaining the needle tattoo.

The lobby had turned into a bloody battlefield by now with each fight having a Victor and loser.

The Gangster, Giant and Model fight resulted in all of them having injuries, with the Yakuza having large cuts and broken bones, the giant having scorched arms and the Model having a burnt chest. On the other hand the shield man had crushed the old lady half dead and the shop clerk was knocked out clean. The Gauntlet wielder had lost a leg and the child was bleeding out. The Ruby Girl had decapitated the winged man and only had some cuts on her face. However the most surprising was the Lawyer and Tornado Sword fight which resulted in the tornado sword guy having a completely ruined arm and a scorched body whilst the lawyer had a cut arm which reflected a metal coating.

"This guy is the intruder...protect Nina for me" The tornado sword guy fell to his knees completely drained of energy and shouted loudly before his head was caved in by the Lawyers hammer.

"Well it seems my identity has been revealed, and here I thought you would all kill each other without me being found out." The Lawyers tone changed from arrogant to cold and empty like it felt no emotion.

"I thought that the intruder didn't have a Gift so how come you can use that hammer." The tired out old man fell back feeling defeated and knowing he couldn't face the robot fled upstairs.

"There was no such rule you are all a bunch of fools. You Pathetic humans killing each other because of fear, what a useless emotion. Now I think I'm the winner here." The Intruder approached the knocked out shop clerk and crushed her head beneath his foot.

"I agree fear is quite the useless emotion but I think you haven't won just yet." Damien used quick dash to appear right next to the robot, wielding a sword he swung for the robots head however what greeted him was a hammer.

"Futile Attack."

The robot pushed down his hammer making Damien move back a few feet.

Well this is going to be difficult to handle, well I currently have five abilities so I should be able to handle just a hammer wielder.

The story has been illicitly taken; should you find it on Amazon, report the infringement.

"Silas get one of these guys' abilities and help me out, Ruby Girl lend me some support if you don't plan on dying." Damien shouted out and then summoned six flying swords and two submachine guns.

Silas quickly got up and finished off the child that was seconds away from dying and took his disc weapon ability whilst Ruby Girl created two ruby spears and stood next to Damien.

"He doesn't only have the hammer, I watched his fight earlier where he had some sort flames on his hammer so I would recommend not taking a hit from it." Silas gave some last minute advice before this rag tag group started their attack.

Damien advanced forward with his quick dash accompanied by his flying swords he started shooting the robot as well as shredding his skin up. The robot was about to unleash an attack on Damien when his hammer was suddenly intercepted by two spears which held him in place. Silas also contributed by throwing his discs at the robots neck.

However the robot after all that stood firm, his skin had basically been shredded apart by now and had some dents in his metallic casing but was only partially damaged.

This isn't good even with all three of us attacking he can still resist, we are using blades and bullets and are only leaving dents.

Damien then flanked the robot with quick dash and discarded his submachine guns calling forth chains which he wrapped around the robots neck several times. The robot managed to break free from the Ruby girls crowd control and smacked her away scorching her abdomen.

"Silas stab his feet into place and fall back." Damien shouted out urgently to Silas and then started to tighten the chain noose he created whilst point blank shooting the robot in the back trying to break through his metallic body.

'chrrink'

Silas had managed to impale both the robots feet with the ruby spears by calculating the velocity and angle to create the best force making him able to pierce through the feet, it also helped that the robots feet were its weakest point.

"Ha how do you like this pain you bastard, don't you ever look down on me you stupid tin can." Damien created four large blades above the robot and spun them as fast as he could before sending them downward with the greatest force possible resulting in the robot being skewered through the stomach and pining him into the ground. The robot was just like a peasant facing Vlad the Impaler, being slowly cut through. At this point Damien tightened his grip on the chains and began to quick dash constantly in a direction away from the robot, pulling at the noose at the same time. After several attempts the robot let out a terrifying screech before it's head was ripped from its body.

"That was fucking difficult, what bloody metal was that dude made out of anyway. Well at least the prick is dead now." Damien collapsed and felt completely drained.

Well that's my first real fight and damn was it hard. I think the more you fight and live to tell about it the more fun it is. Then again living my life on the edge isn't very healthy.

"Congratulations you have successfully completed your first death game, to leave you must take the device found in the lobby it is called the Echo System with it you can store items, see a list of your current gifts, combine gifts and create a clan/guild. Remember this is a fantasy land so creating clans and guilds is all part of the experience." The robotic voice finally declared the end of the death game.

"For completing a Death Game of Level 5 difficulty the survivors will be rewarded a Power Level 5 defence gift. Moreover there is a bonus reward for Damien and Silas for finding out who the intruder was and another bonus reward for Damien for killing the intruder. That is all for today see you soon bye bye." The robotic voice seemed to disappear after it's announcement, leaving the survivors to feel some joy for living.

Two bonus rewards? Well at least I'm being recognised for my contribution. By the looks of it I can get that shop clerks ability as well.

Damien walked over to the shop clerk with the crushed skull and took her ability, which suddenly turned Damien’s meagre and average body into a muscular and strong one. He now had blurry vision whilst wearing his glasses and found that even his facial features seemed to feel more prominent. Damien then threw his glasses to the side and figured the ability he got was a body enhancement.

After everything calmed down Damien commanded his healing needles to heal his, Silas' and the ruby girls injuries.

"Thank you for healing me, my name is Rose it's nice to meet you, I'm French Uni art student." The Ruby Girl was welcoming and thankful that Damien killed the robot.

"It's nice to meet you Rose my name's Damien and this is Silas, you should absorb that winged man's ability if you want to live longer." Damien thought through several scenarios for the battle with the robot and realised that team work helped a lot so he thought having a small group of people would prove to be helpful, therefore distributing the gifts.

"I didn't want to kill him I was just so afraid and then all of a sudden I had cut off his... oh god" Rose looked at the man's body and started to feel faint and even puked, however she pushed through and took his ability.

"It wasn't your fault, in a fight where emotions are your driving force you can lose yourself. You must understand killing others is the only way to survive here. Also Damien if you want more strength I would heal the giant and model" Silas consoled Rose whilst walking over to the area that had the so called Echo System Device.
