Challenge: Silent Scream, Pt. 1

(Warning: The following chapter contains scenes that may be considered dark, intense, and/or disturbing. Reader discretion is advised.)

Kaitlyn Peterson

From the third-floor balcony, Kaitlyn's eyes scanned the courtyard below. She watched as Alison, who was double-checking cables, meticulously set the stage for the next challenge. She could also see that Levi, Elena, and Sophia had already gathered, arriving fifteen minutes before the deadline.

Kaitlyn knew she should join them soon but wanted to enjoy a last moment of peace. From her position, she could see the endless sea of forest beneath the castle walls and over the cliff. Even though she knew she was a prisoner here, she couldn't help but admit it was beautiful. For the briefest of instants, thoughts of the upcoming challenge and the secret card she had purchased from Jezebel seemed like distant memories.

"Finally! You're alone!" a familiar voice shouted at her.

Kaitlyn turned to see Lauren, in a new black dress, march up to her, the moment of respite gone.

"Last night was one of the worst nights of my life," the goth declared.

Kaitlyn bowed her head. "I'm sorry."

"That's not good enough!" Lauren exclaimed. "It's your fault I had to spend the night with that freak. You almost got me eliminated!"

"I was trying to help you!" she countered.

"Lies! You stabbed me in the back! I thought I could trust you! I thought you loved me!"

Kaitlyn's hands shook.

Lauren continued. "After everything I've done for you! How could you betray me?! Do you know how much of a burden you are to me sometimes? There are moments I wish I could dump you for a better..."

SMACK!!!

Kaitlyn slapped Lauren across the face, angry tears streaming down her cheeks. "That's enough!" she screamed.

Lauren froze, her face turned from the impact, her mind still trying to process what happened.

"Look, I'm sorry you've had to endure all this! But I'm TRYING to rescue you!" Kaitlyn roared. "Do you have any idea what it's like watching you destroy yourself?! I nearly had a heart attack seeing your score last night! Do you even CARE what it would do to me if I lost you?! Even after everything you've made me sacrifice?!"

Laurens's head slowly turned, and her mouth hung open. "Sacrifice?" she repeated.

"Of course I do! Do you know what I have to do and hide to keep you happy?! The friendships I've had to end?! I even dropped out of guitar lessons and science club because you said it hurt your image."

Lauren had never been more confused. "What? Science?"

"Yes, science! You got so pissed when you saw how much I was enjoying those classes. You said it would destroy your reputation if your sister was a nerd! I begged dad to pull strings to get me private lessons, just so you wouldn't learn about them!"

"I don't remember..." Lauren began, but this only fueled Kaitlyn more.

"Because you don't pay attention if it's NOT... ABOUT... YOU! You pick apart everything I do and guilt me! But you never take any responsibility for yourself! You're the reason I'm even on this show, and you haven't even apologized once!"

Lauren opened her mouth, but no words came out. For the first time in her life, she was utterly speechless. She stared at her sister as if seeing her for the first time.

Kaitlyn choked back a sob before letting out a pained laugh. "No, what am I saying? Azure was right; I do deserve to be here for everything I've let you get away with. Even with all the guilt I felt watching you torment people who couldn't fight back, I kept making excuses for you!"

"I... I..." Lauren tried to say. Finally, she managed on, "I didn't know."

"You didn't know?" Kaitlyn repeated before laughing hysterically. "YOU DIDN'T KNOW?!"

The cheerleader couldn't take it anymore. She pushed her sister aside and marched down the stairs, laughing and crying.

Lauren stood alone, motionless, her brain struggling to comprehend it all.

Levi Summers

"You didn't fuck anyone," Olivia said bluntly as she joined Levi at the challenge courtyard.

"There wasn't time," he replied.

"Wasn't time? How long do you think it takes?" She asked in disbelief.

"No one took me up on my offer," he debated.

Olivia raised an eyebrow. How many did you ask?"

"I mean, you said to focus on the ones who were losing," Levi explained to preemptively defend himself.

"How many?" Olivia forcefully repeated.

Levi glanced over at Sophia. Olivia noticed his gaze and nodded. She lowered her voice. "Makes sense you'd pick her. I mean, considering you hate the other two in last."

"I don't hate them," Levi lied.

Olivia rolled her eyes. "Bullshit."

---

Sophia Maoulin

Sophia tried her best to ignore the nearby, whispered conversation about Levi's not having sex with her. The girl simply pretended she wasn't listening. Not out of embarrassment, but merely to avoid social awkwardness. Instead, she refocused her attention on her conversation with Tomoko and Elena, for which she had zoned out. Fortunately, the topic had moved to something she was actually interested in.

"Yeah, I got no idea what to spend the BP on," Tomoko mused. The woman was sitting on the grassy ground, her shoes off, feeling the green blades between her toes. "There were so many cards to read that it put me to sleep."

Elena would offer some advice, but Sophia beat her to it. "I got the database, so I can look things up. Was there something in particular you wanted?"

Tomoko closed her eyes and lay back on the grass. "I don't know. I mean, aside from saving my kid, I don't really need anything." Her eyes snapped open. "Oh, I miss my water mattress. Would they have one of those for sale?"

"I'll uh... look into it..." Sophia replied, a little disappointed by her answer. She then got excited. "As for me, I just spent my Best Girl BP on some cards for the challenge."

Elena tilted her head. "Oh?"

Sophia nodded and took out two cards from her hoodie pocket.

"The first, let's me 'veto the hosts' veto.' It cost 20 BP, but it is good insurance, considering how much Azure abused that privilege last time."

"Fair enough," Elena nodded. "I remember seeing that card when we first went to Jezebel's shop."

Tomoko sat up. "And the other?"

"Well, after Azure told us about transformation intensity earlier, I wanted to learn more about them." Sophia handed Elena the second card, who gave it to Tomoko after scanning it.

It read '15 BP: During the transformation round, the user may discard this to reduce the intensity level of one of their options. They must do so before the actual voting takes place.'

"Smart thinking," Elena admitted.

"Yeah, but now I only have 1 BP left," Sophia laughed awkwardly.

Ji-Woo Summers

The secretary stood alone by the castle exit, looking at the courtyard beyond it. She took a nervous breath. She couldn't believe she was actually doing what she was considering. She tugged tightly at the towel wrapped around her, her only garment.

A mere hour ago, this idea would have been unthinkable. But a paranoid idea had entered her head, which she couldn't shake. The fear that Elena would reveal her secret seconds before the challenge in an act of ****. Her two points weren't enough to protect her. She needed to take drastic action.

Taking a deep breath, she dropped her towel and streaked out onto the yard.

Levi's eyes widened to the size of dinner plates. The BP conversation between the trio of girls was also halted as they all turned to look at her.

"Yowsers," Sophia exclaimed.

Arriving before them and feeling humiliated under intensity of their gaze, Ji-Woo instinctively tried to use her arms to cover her naughty bits but then halfheartedly shifted them so the view would not be obscured.

Olivia chuckled. "Looks like someone needs to take the old bushwalker downstairs."

"Hey, don't criticize her," Tomoko scolded. "A woman should be as hairy as she wasn't without judgment."

'You're not helping,' Ji-Woo thought. She then looked over to Levi to gauge his reaction. The young man was slack-jawed and torn between wanting to look away and being unable to.

Not sure how long she needed to remain like this for it to count, Ji-Woo swallowed her pride and walked onto the stage, where several chairs had been set up for the contestants.

Flashing Boobs at Master: +6 VP

Seen it Before: -6 VP

Flashed Pussy at Master: +8 VP

Flashed Ass at Master: +5 VP

Public Streaking: +5 VP

Ji-Woo's score went from two to twenty, barely putting her in first. Elena felt a mixture of rage at seeing her rise so quickly, but also vindication at how plainly humiliated she was.

Tomoko turned to Sophia. "Hey, you and Lauren should do that," she suggested. "You're both behind, right?"

"I think Lauren would rather die," Sophia responded, though conveniently leaving any comment about herself out of the reply.

Reaching an empty chair, Ji-Woo prepared to sit down, but Azure, still in her referee uniform, took the opportunity to teleport in and swat her on the bare ass.

"Oh, look at Mrs. Exhibitionist here. She's burning through all her nudity bonuses at once. It was quite impulsive of you not to save them," the host teased.

"How dare you!" Ji-Woo spat. In a lower voice, she added, "And besides, what does it matter when I do it?"

Azure winked. "You'd be amazed at the bonus the right context can provide." She then giggled. "Though I suppose this is an improvement for you, considering you managed to show the master your stuff without horrifying him for once." She looked at the stunned Levi and added, "Or maybe he's so shocked that he forgot to be disgusted."

Ji-Woo composed herself enough to avoid replying, knowing it was obvious bait. Instead, she simply sat in her chair, crossing her legs in a vain attempt at modesty.

Levi tore his gaze away and tried to find something to distract him. He went over to Elena. "So, how are you?" he inquired, hoping that casual conversation with his friend would help him gather his thoughts.

"Fine as I can, given the circumstances," Elena replied, though her focus was still on Ji-Woo. 'I only promised to keep her shit a secret so she wouldn't get instantly eliminated,' Elena thought. 'But now that she has all those points... there'd be no harm in telling him now.'

She considered this for a moment before shaking it off. 'No. I said AFTER. And unlike Ji-Woo, I actually keep my word. It's called integrity.'

"El?" Levi asked, concerned that Elena was silently staring off.

"Oh, sorry. Just had a brain fart," she chuckled.

---

Azure

Having her fill of mocking Ji-Woo, Azure turned her attention to Alison, who was plugging in some final wires into the sound system. Skipping over to her, Azure asked, "Almost finished, darling? You know we don't have much time."

Alison did not look at her. "You are aware that these cables serve no purpose, aren't you?"

"Of course I do, considering I have magic, unlike some people," Azure replied patronizingly. "But really, it's about time you pulled your weight around here."

"Of course, mistress. As the mature adult here, you clearly know best," she answered dismissively, returning to her work. This was just one of the dozen menial tasks Azure had assigned her in petty **** for her defiance the other day. Azure liked to imagine that she was getting to her, but the maid's lack of facial reaction made it hard to tell.

Azure's attention shifted as she sensed the arrival of another contestant. Looking out to the courtyard's entrance, she saw Kaitlyn approach. The cheerleader noticed the naked Ji-Woo on stage, but she was still too shaken by the recent incident with Lauren to care. She didn't even respond to Tomoko or Sophia's greetings.

Smirking, Azure looked at the clock, seeing it was 12:57. "Three minutes, everyone. Please take your place on the stage."

Grumbling, everyone walked to their seats, choosing the ones they had used during the opening ceremony without realizing it. The exception was a golden throne that had been placed in the center for Levi, which he reluctantly took. Only one chair was unoccupied.

"Oh dear, only one minute left, and we're missing our Worst Girl. Could it be that she has decided to forfeit?" Azure gasped dramatically.

"Keep your panties on bitch! I'm here," Lauren shouted as she marched into the courtyard. She walked with her usual air of superiority as if the encounter with Kaitlyn had not happened, though she had, in fact, simply put up her usual mask.

She walked up the steps and arrived at her seat with less than a dozen seconds to spare. The sisters averted their eyes from one another, Tomoko sitting between them as a buffer.

Azure smiled at all of them as the clock struck one. "You must all be excited to begin. Well, let's not waste another second and head to the arena for our game!"

Tomoko took to the surrounding stage. "I thought we already were."

Azure chuckled. "Oh no, it's just transportation." Before anyone could ask for clarification, she snapped her fingers.

The ground trembled and slowly sank, beginning a descent downwards. The towering monitors faded from view as the platform slipped beneath the earth's surface, slipping into a rectangular shaft.

"For your own safety, please remain seated for the duration of the transit," Azure announced.

A ceiling concealed the group in darkness as they disembarked. Azure conjured a ball of fire in the ensuing stillness, casting an intense glow that unveiled the surroundings as the elevator continued its journey deep into the earth.

Above them, Jezebel dashed into the courtyard. She had intended to be there for the challenge but had gotten so distracted by her afternoon jilling session that she lost track of time. After a few minutes, she grew bored and wandered off.

---

Levi Summers

After several minutes of silent descent through the darkness, the platform stopped before a thick metal door. The dense, iron elevator doors groaned open, releasing stale, musty air.

Beyond the doors sprawled an underground coliseum, vast and ominous, hidden deep beneath the ancient castle. The space was eerily illuminated by large bonfires mounted on the rough stone walls, their flames casting long, yet dim, dancing shadows. The arena itself was a circular pit surrounded by a high wall. The floor was a patchwork of uneven cobblestones. Rows of stone benches, worn and cracked with age, rose in tiers, circling the arena below. At the highest level was a balcony with a throne, from which a spectator could see all.

'This looks like a boss arena. Do we need to fight?' Sophia wondered. She thought of asking this aloud but figured they'd call her weird.

"Hey, what's with the boss arena?" Elena asked. This made Sophia smile.

"It is the location of our game," Azure said, putting out the fireball she held. She stepped out into the arena, followed by the others. As Tomoko stepped onto the cold stone floor, she realized she was still barefoot, having left her shoes in the courtyard. 'Nothin' I can do about it now, I guess.' Ji-Woo, likewise, was wishing she hadn't left her towel behind.

Azure turned so she was walking backwards, in order to look at everyone as she moved. "Fun fact, before I ousted the prior tenant, this castle was owned by a vile necromancer. This arena was used for fights to the **** between his abhorrent creations."

"To the ****?!" Tomoko shrieked. "You're not going to make us do that, are you?!"

Azure waved her hand reassuringly. "Of course not. I'm no savage, and am committed to keeping you all safe. No, the game we have is much more humane. And in fact... I think it's about time you learned the rules."

"About time," Kailyn scoffed.

"I kind of want to learn more about this necromancer backstory," Sophia commented. But considering the situation, no one else shared her interest, and the request was ignored.

Having arrived at the center of the arena, Azure stopped. She took a deep breath, excited to finally reveal the secret she'd held for so long.

"The challenge is the Quiet Game!"

There was a long silence, only broken momentarily by a cough by Ji-Woo.

"That's not a game," Tomoko finally laughed. "That's just something we parents use to trick our kids into piping down."

Azure looked offended. "I assure you it is a real game we will treat very seriously."

"Fine, enlighten us," Olivia sneered.

Azure nodded and pointed to a piece of the stone wall overlooking them. It slid open, revealing a monitor within. The screen was split into seven vertical columns, each containing a meter with numbers along the side, along with a contestants name.

"Each meter measures the noise that comes out of your mouth. If it exceeds 25 decibels after the game starts, you lose. Your ranking is determined by how long you last. If a final winner isn't determined after 30 minutes, the remaining will tie for first."

Azure clapped her hands together. "And… that's it. Any questions?"

Everyone was stunned. After all the buildup, no one expected it to be something so simple.

"Testing," Sophia said, watching how it measured her normal speaking volume as a reference, which averaged around 55. She then clapped her hand, only to see that it didn't register, confirming that only their own voices would be recorded.

"So what? We just have to shut up for half an hour, and we win?" Lauren asked?

"That's correct," Azure nodded.

"What's the catch?" Olivia asked skeptically.

"Yeah, are you going to jump-scare us with ghosts or something?" Elena inquired.

Azure rolled her eyes. "Please, we would not do something so hackney. This isn't some cornfield haunted house."

Tomoko beamed to the group. "This is perfect, then! We can do it y'all!"

Ji-Woo shook her head. "I don't trust it."

Kaitlyn agreed. "Yeah, who can stay quiet with all you hotties around me." She stomped her foot in frustration as she realized she'd lost control of her mouth again. "Damn it!"

"Is that going to be a problem?" Sophia asked, worried.

"Don't worry," Azure said reassuringly. "I will not allow your compulsion to go into effect during the game. That would just be unfair."

"Since when did you care about that?!" Kaitlyn scoffed.

Once again, Azure appeared offended but quickly regained her composure with a wide grin. "We take fairness in challenges very seriously at Harem Hotel," she reassured.

"Bullshit! You're going to try and do something to us while we play," Lauren snapped.

Azure sighed, "You're all so mistrusting. I assure you that I will only be observing. The same goes for Alison."

Olivia eyed her distrustfully. "Fine. When do we start, bitch?"

"As soon as you get into position," Azure replied.

As she said this, seven white circles appeared on the ground. They were arranged in a line, each 6 feet apart, bearing one of the contestants' initials.

"Take your places, girls," Azure cheered. She then turned to Levi and pointed to the audience balcony. "As for you, your place is up there."

"Wait, am I playing?" Levi asked in surprise.

"You are part of the game but are not playing," Azure responded cryptically.

"What's that supposed to mean?"

"It means we can't start without you. And if we can't begin, then everyone forfeits."

"Just get your ass up there," Olivia called out to him as she walked to her spot. The others reluctantly followed suit.

Gulping, Levi was led by Azure up a flight of stairs, up to the balcony. Arriving, the host gestured for him to take the seat overlooking the platform. 'Another throne,' Levi observed. Sitting down, he could see the contestants arranged in a line. Looking at them, spotlight reflecting off his glasses, he couldn't help but feel uncomfortably similar to a Roman emperor, looking down upon his gladiators and ready to pass judgment.

Azure broke him out of these musings by tapping him on the shoulder. "Oh, one more thing. Since you're not playing, I assume you don't mind if I mute you. You wouldn't want to distract your girls, would you?"

"You still haven't explained what I'm doing."

"Is everyone ready?" Azure called out, avoiding his question entirely.

"Hell yeah! Let's do this!" Tomoko cheered.

"Can you be less excited about this?" Kaitlyn asked.

"No way! This is going to be an easy win for all of us!" No one else shared the enthusiasm.

Olivia, in particular, was tuning her and everyone else out, as she was in the middle of the focusing routine she did before every fight. She recalled Azure's rule that whoever got first in this challenge could replace a transformation, motivating her more than anything in recent memory. 'I don't care what tricks Azure pulls. I'm going to win this and remove this curse!'

Azure sat in the coliseum audience. Behind her was Alison, who remained standing. "Alright, girls! The game begins in three… two…"

"Good luck, everyone!" Levi called out. Elena, Kaitlyn, Tomoko, and Sophia gave muted nods of appreciation.

"...one."

A stopwatch began on the monitor above the sound meters. The game had begun.

---

Everyone was on edge, expecting something to happen. Olivia kept turning her head to see if anyone would sneak up on her. Ji-Woo and Elena had both become self-conscious of the sound of their own breath, noticing that each exhale brought their meter to nearly 10 decibels. Sophia had her arms crossed, patting her forearms to self-soothe. Only Tomoko seemed to be unworried.

Levi could see the contestants' unease from his spot, which filled him with suspense. He could only silently watch and pray it worked out.

However, after five minutes of total quiet, people's anxiety slowly began to lessen. Nothing had happened.

Only Levi managed to maintain his total concern, being the only one who could see Azure watching. Her expression made it clear it took all her self-control not to burst into laughter.

'Just what is she up to?'

Still, after another five minutes, even Levi began to let down his guard. A third of the time limit had passed, and nothing had happened. Was the game always designed to be won?

At this moment, Levi felt a tingle at the tip of his fingers as they twitched. The feeling spread to his palms and then his wrists. He looked down and instinctively tried to raise them, but they would no longer move.

The tingling moved to his forearm and shoulders. His arms slowly rose, reaching out to the air before him.

'What's he doing?' Elena wondered.

His digits extended and pressed forward. And then it happened...

Every competitor felt a warm hand press against their chest, passing through their clothes and touching their skin. Levi also sensed his hand making contact with non-existent flesh.

Tomoko looked down at her cleavage, expecting to see something caressing them, but they remained untouched. 'What the hell?'

Before anyone could realize what this heralded, the master squeezed. The grope passed through the women simultaneously. They instinctively reached up toward the unseen intrusion, only to find nothing.

Meanwhile, Levi would have hollered if he could, experiencing the most bizarre sensation of his life. Each hand felt like it was squeezing seven distinct things at once. Some mounds under his grasp were large and squishy, with others smaller or firmer. Each had subtle discrepancies in temperature and texture. It was as if he had fourteen hands, each grasping something different yet occupying the same two spaces.

It got even more incomprehensible as he was **** to knead and fondle the fourteen tits. He felt them move under his direction, utterly unconstrained by clothing. Their diverse buoyancies caused each to react differently, further confounding his brain as it attempted to process the situation.

The girls, likewise, were coming to terms with the ghostly sensation. All had moved past the initial shock and understood they were being fondled, though none yet suspected it was Levi's touch. Several forgot he was even there.

The most endowed among them felt their naked boobs rise and fall under the groping. And yet, they were, in actuality, immobile within their garments, the phenomenon directly clashing with reality.

They all reacted differently. The Peterson sisters writhed and twisted to escape, yet the clutching hands remained firmly in place no matter how they moved. Elena pulled down the front of her dress as far as it would allow, trying to find and remove whatever was squeezing her, but found nothing. Tomoko continued to stare at her jugs, perplexed by feeling them jiggle yet seeing them stationary. Olivia merely seethed, channeling her rage into fantasies of ripping Azure's head off.

Sophia went in a different direction, using her hands to fondle herself in unison to lessen the disconnect in her brain. 'It's just in your head. Tune it out.'

Ji-Woo faced the opposite issue. Being the sole nude contestant, the hand against naked flesh seemed most lifelike, and she could only bite her lip to try to tolerate it. 'Keep it together! Don't make a sound!'

Levi managed to tear his attention away from the paradoxical sensations in his hands and look down at the competitors. Seeing them squirm finally sunk in what he was doing to them. His eyes met with Elena, and the look he gave her informed his friend what was happening. 'Oh no, Levi! Damn it, Azure, leave him out of this!'

'No! Stop it!' the master commanded his fingers, but they ignored him. In fact, his thumb and index fingers squeezed the phantom nipples in what seemed like open defiance. Several contestants took sharp breaths as he twisted, bringing their volume to mere decibels beneath the threshold.

Muffled giggles rang from the audience as Azure covered her mouth to avoid laughing. Olivia shot her daggers. 'You bitch! If you think this is enough to stop me, you've got another thing coming!'

This persisted until the **** puppeting Levi's hand felt satisfied, several minutes later. However, they did not give him back control. Instead, they went to the armrests of his throne and pushed upon them to get his body standing upright. He took a few steps forward to the very edge of his balcony.

The women merely had a few moments to recover from the release of their tits. Then, a new sensation arrived for them. Like Levi had done minutes before, each felt their right arm raise and reach forward, hands outstretched. The difference was that they hadn't moved at all, each of their hands remaining where they had left them. The sheer paradox of sensations made a few contestants nearly lose right there. So disorienting was it that all of them instinctively moved their actual arms to match the phantom ones.

Then it got worse. They felt themselves holding a fleshy appendage within their grip. Kaitlyn went pale. 'Wait... this is... oh no!'

Levi silently gasped as he felt seven hands on his dick at once. Moments later, each and every one of them stroked it, making his hips buckle.

'Damn it, it's Levi!' Olivia realized, recognizing the size and shape from the prior day.

Laurens's eyes were filled with rage at the sensation of lovingly stroking the dick. 'I will get you for this! I swear I'll make you pay!'

Meanwhile, Sophia couldn't help but wonder at the unfamiliar feeling. 'Is this what a penis feels like? So different from a toy.'

Despite Levi's protests, his member hardened under the septuple jerk off, its engorgement felt within the grip of everyone else. It seemed to protrude beyond his clothing, just as all other sensations had disregarded garments. As he looked down, however, he realized the lack of attire wasn't a lie from the illusion; he was bare from below the waist. So distracted had he been that he hadn't even noticed that his hands had unbuckled his belt and dropped his pants and underwear.

With the master at full mast, the illusion in the competitors hands ceased, reality being momentarily restored. They quickly moved their arms away from the ghost phallus. A brief, agonizing silence followed, with everyone knowing the worst was yet to come and some realizing what it would be.

'They wouldn't. Surely, not even Azure would,' Ji-Woo desperately thought.

Levi's legs carried him a step forward. His subtle body heat informed the more sensitive contestants that his psychic doppelgänger was near.

However, this extra warning did little to alleviate the shock of what was next, as all the women fell to their knees. This time, it was not just an illusion; their bodies were actually puppeted into their proper place. Seconds later, their backs arced forward and they landed on all fours.

There was no denying the inevitable; everyone grasped the impending reality. The true purpose of Azure's game was now unmistakably clear.

Olivia slammed her fists on the ground. 'SHIT! FUCK! DAMN! CUNT!'

Elena, meanwhile, was more worried for Levi than herself. 'Please don't make him!'

Levi bent down and experienced his member brushing across seven different backsides. His hips poked and prodded, trying to find the entrance where all seven aligned.

'I'm sorry everyone. This is gonna suck,' Tomoko thought, her simple heart going out to her harem mates.

Lauren, naturally, had the opposite thought, wishing she could throw all but her sister under the bus to escape. 'Don't you dare! Don't you FUCKING dare!'

Their feelings on the matter made no difference. With a single thrust, Levi's phantom appendage entered all of them.

"AAHH!"

The solitary scream reverberated with such **** that all who heard it experienced a jolt similar to the crack of a gunshot. All heads turned to the source, to see Sophia! The sudden, false feeling of insertion had been too much of a shock for the virgin and she had shrieked in surprise!

The others watched in horror as her volume went above eighty and… she vanished.

Tomoko's eyes widened in terror. 'No!'

Kaitlyn, likewise, thought she would faint. 'Oh god!'

"First one down!" Azure announced, her voice spreading throughout the arena like a speaker.

All gazes turned to the host, who wore a sadistic grin. She had dropped all pretenses of her usual bubbly host demeanor. The true monster within was showing itself.

"Five to go."
