Kai stared at the text and felt a sweat break out across his forehead.
He looked around the circus camp in absolute disbelief. The lively music played the same tune he heard yesterday.
Sera and Eliza stood right beside him, unaware that anything was wrong.
'What the fuck is happening right now?' Kai thought to himself.
He swallowed hard to wet his dry throat, then suddenly looked at the smiling camp chief in the sharp red coat.
'Did he kill me? Did that guy throw the chain?'
A terrible panic settled in his stomach.
Dying was painless in the fleeting moment, but the implication was horrifying.
If he died again and the system failed to respawn him properly, his second life in this twisted world was officially over.
He was completely doomed.
Kai followed the girls deeper into the camp because he needed to blend in.
They walked toward the raised stage in the center of the tents. Vesper was already there, spinning her burning chains and dancing seductively for the small crowd.
