After a few more stabs, the lizard finally slowed down. Aditya stabbed on its back and used the Incinerate function of the dagger.

The lizard burned to ashes in an instant. He put the metal limb back inside the inventory and did the same with the dagger as he counted down the last ten seconds in the time.

He reappeared near the carpentry workshop and ran towards to the washroom. He could feel his whole body hurting crazily. Particularly his right arm that was bitten by that bird.

He never knew that pigeons could be this scary. He always had the aversion to the mosquitoes and other insects, but this is the first time, he got scared of the pigeons. All this time, he only knew that they are slightly annoying and taste delicious when properly cooked.

He looked at the notification of the round finishing.

[ROUND FINISHED

KILLS: 46

OBTAINED SIXTY-SIX POINTS

YOUR CURRENT RANK: 28

THE COUNT DOWN FOR NEXT ROUND : 2:23:53:10

CHECK THE REWARDS SECTION FOR THE CLEAR REWARDS.]

Aditya heaved a sigh. This time the ranking didn’t grow that much. But he is not exactly focused on that now. Instead, he looked at the whole list of the rankings and looked at the bottom and he was surprised to see that the last ten ranks are completely blacked out.

The chat room is also exploding with messages, but he simply ignored it.

He went out of the stall and washed his face before coming out. He could feel that the difficulty of the round has increased by a lot. But he also managed to gain a lot of strength, compared to the previous times, he was not really that helpless in a direct confrontation. He managed to deal with the lizard one on one. If he had better training and planning, he would have done a lot better with this thing.

There are no special rewards this time and he is not really interested in knowing anything else from others. So, he simply went back to the SAE shed to meet with Manasa who is spectating.

“Why are you sweating so much?”

She asked me with a confused look.

Reading on this site? This novel is published elsewhere. Support the author by seeking out the original.

“I had to run to other block, this washroom isn’t clean.”

She just shrugged and Aditya spent the rest of the day with that competition and returned to the dorm.

He took a shower and went to dinner with the roommates before he took out his notebook and started noting down the new findings.

First one is obviously to not go into the same place as before unless he doesn’t have any choice.

He must find a new place for every round and he should also find a place which gives him some natural advantage. Today, he had to run around all over the Main block because he doesn’t know what place could give him more advantage.

He needs to be careful in that aspect.

He also noted down how many people died already in this game.

He got sixty-six points and he still has thirty nine left from before, now he has one hundred and five points. He has three days, so he needs to find a proper training plan that would give him as much advantage in terms of the attributes as he can.

He also noted down how the Molotov cocktails work.

“Oy, Aditya. What the hell are you doing?”

Suraj came over and looked at the notebook.

“You are already studying? We just had lunch and it has only been a week. Come join us.”

He peered on to the notebook and Aditya urgently covered it with his arms.

Looking at his reaction, the rest also go curious.

“What are you hiding? Let me see.”

Suraj tried to grab the book. Aditya caught his hand quickly and said.

“It is nothing. It is just my diary.”

“No, it is not. I read something about the game or something. What is it is about pigeons and mosquitoes?”

Suraj tried to use his other arm to grab it, but Aditya caught that too and stood up as he came in between Suraj and the book.

“I told you it was diary. Mosquito is the name I gave you in there, because you are annoying and irritating.”

Sanjay suddenly stood up and grabbed book, Aditya pushed Suraj away and tried to block Sanjay and accidentally used excessive force.

Sanjay crashed into his bed.

Aditya stopped in his tracks with shock and went to check on Sanjay.

“I am sorry, man. I am really sorry. It is just a reflex. I didn’t mean to hurt you.”

Sanjay got off his bed and rubbed his back a bit.

“Dude, you are strong. I never knew you had that in you.” He is still smiling through that pain. Aditya also smiled awkwardly.

“Anyway, for that apology, I would take a peek at this.”

Sanjay waved his notebook up. Aditya tried to grab it once again, but it was tossed at Venkat who caught it and took a look. Aditya wanted to go there, but all of a sudden Sanjay grabbed him by the waist.

But to his surprise, Aditya just dragged him along as he went towards Venkat who ran out of the room while reading the book.

Meanwhile, Sanjay is holding the bed to stop Aditya from dragging him out, but even the bed is moving with him.

With that metal screeching sound, Aditya understood that he is creating too much commotion and decided to stop.

“Alright, guys I will tell you what it is. Just ask that guy to come in.”

Venkat returned.

“I am just working on some Webnovel. I just want to write as a hobby. I thought you guys would make fun of me, so I decided to keep it on the downlow.”

“Really? You? Writing?” Suraj acted so surprised and looked at the info while Sanjay is looking at Aditya curiously.

“What is your problem?”

Aditya asked, a bit exasperated.

“Why do you seem a bit taller and a bit stronger. Take off your shirt.”

Aditya was dumbfounded.
