Chapter 2 Shuffle Selection

A time in which a great deal in surviving is what is needed, the ethics of the gang and the battle of the strongest has just begun.

Unaware of the impending battle which he added himself just because he wanted to be ordinary and to be ordinary is to survive. In a well-lit office a dark man is seen smoking, he then chuckles as he said `second brother hope your blood is active within your son because I just invited him to the survival world, well time will tell if he is a monster like you’ he completed as he took a puff of his cigarette.

Another room laid mike, his eyes snapped open staring straight to the white ceiling, `where am I? He thought as he sat down on the bed to gather his thought.

So this is where they took me after he knocked me out’ he took a halt as he stood up to look at the room. It’s not bad, at least I’m not in the streets’ he said to cheer himself up. Just as he consoled himself on this decision to join the gang, the door snapped open as lily walked in with a smile on her face.

Their eyes clashed as Mike saw the smile on her face, a smile trepidation and chills to him. Immediately he asked `so what do I do next? Any heads up’. Lily chuckled then said `seems you are really taking this well’ he froze for second then replied ` it’s not like I have any choice, I can’t possibly generate a million-star cedes with no job and a missing hand’ as he smiled wryly.

Lily looked at his face for some time then spoke in a firm voice ` well rest time is over, come let me show you around our base you will need it… a rumbling sound was heard as she was about to complete her statement.

She quickly looks at him which he evaded eye contact, at this moment mike was so embarrassed `damn why would this happen at this moment, like now’ his thoughts ran wild as he face was beet red. Lily shakes her head and said ` seems like our tour starts from the dining hall’.

With that she left the room as mike followed behind, outside the room led a long hall, a hall which brought little shivers to anyone who is new to its sight so was mike.

Being new to the environment he got stares from everyone in the hall, each of them ranging from seasoned fighters to beginners but even those beginners were still better than him.

Mike quickly began to think of a solution for his situation `all of them are just looking at me like a new born rabbit, I really need to learn how to defend my. His thoughts were interrupted by lily as she called him `mike I just want to inform you inside here only the law of survival exists and you would have to survive or be squashed by the shards of defeat’.

As her words entered the ears of mike he immediately approved of his conviction of learning how to fight, with no much effort they had arrived at the dining hall.

The wisps and fresh aroma blew to his nose, at that point lily gestured him to follow her. They passed by a lot of tables and people who were enjoying their food, `there are three levels in the dining hall, each level having more tasty meals than the former, some meals in the final level are said to have special effects that increase the human body potential’ said lily as they walked deeper heading towards the 2nd level. Mike was silent as he absorbed what she said while a look of marvel appeared on his face ` so food now has special effects apart from nutrients’ he thought.

They reached a table which lily sat down and gestured him to do so, quietly they sat down as murmurs arose ` wow did lily find herself a new pet, no I heard this was someone who owes the company, wow so he is a debtor but why is he here? Aren’t debtors killed by the company, hope he lives pass the SHUFFLE SELECTION because he looks so lean and week.

And so a lot of things were said by the bystanders.But in all that mike picked something up `shuffle selection’ he muttered with a tightened face, then their food was brought to their table. He glanced at the food as he asked lily `what is Shuffle selection?’
