"How in the world did I end up here?" Young Adrive furrowed his brow, scanning his surroundings. A spartan room greeted him-four walls and nothing more. He sat on a single bed with a nightstand nearby, complete with a barred window that hinted at an attempt at security more than decor. A fog-clouded view outside suggested a world of obscurity with teasing glimpses of light. The wooden door was shut tight, with the silence in the room so thick you could hear a pin drop. Adrive was on duty at the morgue-then, in the blink of an eye, he found himself here. Talk about a sudden relocation! Could this be... supernatural shenanigans at play?

Chapter 1 The Dorm Survival Game

"How in the world did I end up here?"

Young Adrive furrowed his brow, scanning his surroundings.

A spartan room greeted him-four walls and nothing more. He sat on a single bed with a nightstand nearby, complete with a barred window that hinted at an attempt at security more than decor.

A fog-clouded view outside suggested a world of obscurity with teasing glimpses of light.

The wooden door was shut tight, with the silence in the room so thick you could hear a pin drop.

Adrive was on duty at the morgue-then, in the blink of an eye, he found himself here. Talk about a sudden relocation!

Could this be... supernatural shenanigans at play?

As if on cue:

[Welcome to the Dorm Survival Game!]

[Here, you will face challenges where the line between life and death is razor thin. If you die, you die for real. Like, caput. Done.]

[Each player gets their own dorm. It's your home-sweet-apocalyptic-home and your sanctuary.]

[This game round lasts for four days and is called Fright Night.]

[Survive till the end, and you'll move on to the next round-dorm and all.]

[Game settings vary each round. This round has a day-night cycle; daytime is relatively safe-so go outside, beef up.]

[Night ramps up the danger; staying in is smarter.]

[Mastering the day-to-night shift is key to surviving Fright Night.]

[Discover more as you go-seriously, who has time for lengthy tutorials in this fast-paced era?]

[Have fun, gamers!]

A translucent panel flickered into existence before Adrive.

It oozed a sci-fi vibe.

Adrive's eyes went wide.

No way. This is legit?

His skepticism spiked, but curiosity won out. He poked the panel's 'X' to dismiss the intro.

New menus popped up: [Stats] [Dorm] [Chat] [Friends] [Map] [Misc].

He hit [Stats] first, revealing his personal attributes.

"I work out, yet I'm under the standards? Tough crowd," Adrive grumbled internally.

His exploration continued with [Dorm].

---

Hence the game's title: Dorm Survival makes sense now.

He tapped through more features, finding his [Friends] list emptier than a ghost town.

The [Map] only revealed his current abode.

Under [Misc], a mishmash of mini-applications, including a camera.

[Chat] was next.

Public Channel #77 beckoned.

Another game-like prompt: he needed a handle.

Old gaming habits kicked in, and he typed in 'ZeroDegree'.

Typical game chat ensued: confusion, accusations of wardrobe theft, and someone threatened by digital tough guys.

Adrive scoped out the rest, then made his move to the door.

The actual door opened-go figure.

Peering out into a dimly lit corridor, he spotted a woman across the way, a vision of beauty in panic, retreating into her room.

Admin Group Invite received: [You've been added to Newbies Group #77 as a Trial Admin-Codename Tomato].

Another chat, this one full of fruit-themed codenames discussing the timely mobilization of players and an obsession with zombies.

Adrive absorbed the intel: An hour until darkness falls, zombies on the prowl, and the dire need for resource gathering.

Eyes open now with determination, he pocketed a key from a previously ignored detail on the lock, secured the door, and plunged into the gloomy hallway, ready to hustle.

With only echos accompanying his knocks on door #840, the game was on.

My world revolved around Jax Harding, my older brother's captivating rockstar friend. From sixteen, I adored him; at eighteen, I clung to his casual promise: "When you're 22, maybe I'll settle down." That offhand comment became my life's beacon, guiding every choice, meticulously planning my twenty-second birthday as our destiny. But on that pivotal day in a Lower East Side bar, clutching my gift, my dream exploded. I overheard Jax' s cold voice: "Can't believe Savvy's showing up. She' s still hung up on that stupid thing I said." Then the crushing plot: "We' re gonna tell Savvy I' m engaged to Chloe, maybe even hint she' s pregnant. That should scare her off." My gift, my future, slipped from my numb fingers. I fled into the cold New York rain, devastated by betrayal. Later, Jax introduced Chloe as his "fiancée" while his bandmates mocked my "adorable crush"-he did nothing. As an art installation fell, he saved Chloe, abandoning me to severe injury. In the hospital, he came for "damage control," then shockingly shoved me into a fountain, leaving me to bleed, calling me a "jealous psycho." How could the man I loved, who once saved me, become this cruel and publicly humiliate me? Why was my devotion seen as an annoyance to be brutally extinguished with lies and assault? Was I just a problem, my loyalty met with hatred? I would not be his victim. Injured and betrayed, I made an unshakeable vow: I was done. I blocked his number and everyone connected to him, severing ties. This was not an escape; this was my rebirth. Florence awaited, a new life on my terms, unburdened by broken promises.
