"The answer is The Truth." Said Martin and everyone finally managed to let out the breath they were holding in.
Number 5th was a woman with a sexy and curvy body and dark chocolate skin that contrasted with her blond hair and beautiful blue eyes.
She also chose the truth.
"Did you kill all your three husbands?"
After hearing the question her beautiful face changed as disbelief was written on it.
"I...I" She couldn't help stuttering as she didn't know how to answer the question.
But as Martin started the countdown and numbers were getting smaller and smaller the fear of death won and she couldn't help admitting the truth.
"Y...Yes."
At the same time as people were fighting for their lives, Morana and Jolly were having a very different discussion.
[Master, I am a little scared.] Jolly couldn't help admitting.
'Hmm, scared? Of what?' Asked Morana as she took out a new flavored popcorn "Drama queen" and started munching on it.
[Master, it has only been 5 people so far but we have a dead guy, one half-dead guy, one green tea bitch, a zombie, and a husband killer. I am scared of what will happen before the 1st round is over.]
'Hah. What are you worried about? You're not up there.'
[That's true but still] jolly didn't know what else to say so he just decided to shut up.
'But I must say this is quite entertaining, even better than all those TV shows with fake drama.
Ahh, one must always enjoy the art in life and up-close these TVs don't do it justice.'
'[Ahh. I forgot that the scariest person is right here.]'
Just as both master and system were immersed in their thoughts It was finally Sophia's turn.
Learning from Ron's example, she also chose truth.
"Did you have s*x with contestant number 13 on multiple occasions?"
"cough...cough"
Hearing the question Sophia couldn't help but choke from surprise and her gaze subconsciously diverted to Ezra.
As their eyes met Sophia couldn't help turning a little red from embarrassment.
"Yes."
She answered with barely an audible voice.
Ezra seemed to have no reaction to her answer while Zoel and Shio were quite surprised.
Others might not know but they were very well aware of how annoying Sophia thought Ezra was, So one might say this situation caught them off guard and they didn't know how to react.
"This answer is the truth." Said Marvin drawing everyone's attention to himself.
Number 7 was a young woman. She had short blond hair and a tall, muscled posture. She was dressed like a warrior with a sword and armor.
Instead of truth, she chose dare without any hesitation.
"Kill one of the contestants that have done neither truth nor dare yet. You have till the first round ends. If their turn ends before you kill them you can no longer attack them." It took everyone a few seconds to react to Marvin's words.
Number seven reacted pretty quickly and without hesitation, she picked up her sword and decapitated the contestant next to her.
The unlucky girl was Mari, contestant number 8, who stood left from number 7.
After decapitation, her head rolled down the platform where all the participants stood and ended up near Cliff's feet who couldn't help shuddering like a leaf.
He couldn't believe that the energetic girl from a second ago was now decapitated and lifeless, and he finally understood the true horrors of the dream city.
"Congratulations number 7 you are safe till the next round." Said Marvin with a warm smile.
Contestant number 9 was a man in his mid-30ies with soft features and thick eyebrows. He also decided to take a dare instead of the truth.
"Number 9 your dare is to drink 'Delila'." His word resulted in another round of pitiful gazes from people.
'Delila' though a beautiful name was a potion feared even more than Artemis dew.
Legend says Delila was a beautiful and kind goddess who lived in a primordial garden and took care of different herbs and flowers from all over the universe.
One day she saved a human and fell in love with him only to be betrayed.
Turns out the man was only interested in precious flowers that grew in the garden and in order to steal them he seduced Delila.
In addition, when the goddess confronted the man she found out that he already had a wife and 2 little daughters.
In the end, devastated and betrayed Delila was blinded from the anger she brewed a potion and descended to the mortal world once again.
When she arrived at the man's house, she saw that his wife was cooking dinner while their children were playing outside.
When the wife was not looking Delila poured the potion into their meal and waited outside for them to eat.
When the man ate the dinner he started feeling immeasurable hunger and the more he ate hungrier he became.
Eventually, he ate everything in the house from cooked food to raw but no matter what he was unable to satisfy his hunger.
In the end, he ate his wife and his children and his flesh and blood, and even as he bled to death he was unable to stop his greedy mouth from eating.
'Delila', potion that brings immeasurable hunger to deceitful men but is harmless to women, children, or loyal men.
The potion has become a legend that men fear especially.
In some old cultures if a man drinks 'Delila' on the wedding night to prove his loyalty to his future wife it is believed that they will be blessed by goddess Delila and have a happy life together.
Unfortunately or fortunately the few of the ingredients to make 'Delila' have gone extinct already but seems like the dream city has this potion from somewhere.
