It was late in the night, the streets were silent and the moon was lighting up the dark roads.
In that dim light, a lone figure walked silently. He was wearing a black hoodie with allied printed on the back with a white spiral with gray cargo pants and black combat boots.
Under the serene light of the moon, a thin sheen of light illuminated the figure's face.
It has hiro, his face was calm but there was a tinge of nervousness and hesitation in his steps.
He took a deep breath and focused his mind before opening several panels.

'Well.... I don't really have anything to say about this one. Should I start hearing music.'
Hero thought before pulling out his phone and searched for the trending songs.
'If what I understand, the type of effect depends on the theme of the song. So if I sing a song that motivates others than it would most likely provide buffs. But if I sing the opposite...'
His finger stop scrolling and he selected the song as a eerie melody begins to play.
The silhouette of a man dressed in a red overcoat, red fedora and a golden monocle shimmers behind him for a moment as he begins walking again.

The temperature around him instantly drops as a chilling feeling blanketed the street.
The air becomes thicker and the night became darker. Unlike bloodlust, this feeling of terror was spine chilling.
Hiro keeps moving forward and so does the melody.

Oliver stood infront of a underground subway entrance, he was reluctant to let hiro join the hell known as the dead zone.
The name was just a cover for its true identity. This was originally known as "Vali tudu".
Originating from Brazil, it was a lawless ring where killing was as natural as breathing.
It was later shut down due to two individuals. A Brazilian woman named Maria and a korean man named...
Jiu ji tae.
'Even after the shut down, they found a way to restart this game of death again. '
Oliver thought, he knew what he does is wrong. But what else can he do? The most he can do is make it so that his fighter doesn't fight in death matches.
But that bastard shoya, he decided to bite more than he can chew and entered the deadliest of matches.
The one where a total of hundred people fought with no morality, like beasts.
The name?
Food chain
'That trash. I thought of him like a brother and this is how he repays me? I have to stop hiro. If he enters then he will need to take shoya's place.'
Oliver thought, stressed. But it all vanished as a chill crept up his spine.
His face paled as the air became heavier, a eerie melody began to be heard in the background.
Then it came.
"London Bridge is falling down"
"Falling down"
"Falling down"
"London bridge is falling down"
"My fair lady."
The boy he was worrying about walked in the darkness, his body radiating a cold, bone freezing aura.
'No. I Was worrying about the wrong person. This one is...'
'A MONSTER.'
