《Supremacy Games 》Chapter 12: And So It Begins
Advertisement
After dealing with the food situation, Felix sent a message to Leila, explaining to her the details of the shipment and ordered her to take care of it when it arrives.
2 hours later...
Felix and his grandfather walked towards the ballroom, where the banquet was being held, wearing formal suits.
Classical songs were being played, as servants, bodyguards, and maids all enjoyed themselves, dancing, laughing, and sadly drinking juices, instead of alcohol.
Robert kept complaining about not having a decent drink ever since he landed in the Island, but Felix acted deaf.
What Robert didn't know, was that Felix ordered all the alcohol in the storage and kitchen to be hidden. Only Jack and himself knew where the stash was hidden.
So Robert sadly would have to pass his days without a sip.
Afterward, the banquet ended in a good note, and everyone went back to their posts.
Felix headed back to his suite, while his grandfather was following behind him using face cam to talk to his buddies, who were in the bar having the best time of their lives, while he was stuck here until Felix feels better.
"HAHA Baldy, you look like the time you heard about your heart disease." A mocking voice was heard from the phone.
"What do you know?! I am having the best time of my life here with my grandson. We were just at a party, and tomorrow I will head to the beach to sunbathe."
"Make sure to cover yourself with sun cream or your skin would lose its luster, and it won't feel good making you run around the block naked anymore."
"Screw you, Benjamin! What kind of nonsense are you saying, when did I even run naked?! If I knew you would start bullshiting I would not have accepted your call, now fuck off."
Robert hanged up on him and tried to explain himself. "Don't listen to him kid, your grandpa is an honorable elder in the family, why would I do such thing?"
"I believe you, don't worry, just go to bed it's already late." Felix nodded his head.
Robert entered his suite, which was next to Felix's one while yelling. "I really didn't run naked. He is defaming my character. Benjamin that bastard always tries to create trouble for me."
Felix just shushed him with a finger on his lips and pushed him inside, then closed the door.
"I REALLY DIDN'T DO IT; YOU HAVE TO BELIEVE ME." Robert was still denying it even inside his suite.
Felix entered his bedroom as he thought in pity. 'Grandpa, your love for running nude in public is already an open secret in the family, only you still have not realized it.'
He then mused, 'I doubt it. With your intelligence, you already knew it, but still don't care. Aiyo, so old yet so perverted, If my mother was alive and saw you like this, she will demolish you.'

.....
Three days later 09:00 AM...
Near the seaport, a large ship carrying a hefty amount of red containers, arrived while honking its horn.
Felix was standing near the dock with Leila by his side.
His grandfather did not accompany him since he binge-watched more than 5 movies last night and was extremely tired, and so Felix left him to sleep in peace.
After seeing everything in order. Felix ordered his servants while clapping his hands twice.
"Go ahead and start unloading the goods. For every box, you unload you get an extra 10 dollars. So make haste and finish this as early as possible."
The downcast servants instantly got motivated as they heard his promise.
They looked at the ship that was carrying twenty containers with greed and rushed to unload as much as possible.
...
3 hours later...
All the goods had been unloaded on the port. Felix looked at the exhausted servants and said.
"take a one hour break, then pick up the goods and take them to the warehouse. For each box, you deliver you will get 10 dollars as a reward."
He then left Leila to supervise them, as he went back to the hotel.
...
Days went by slowly, as Felix kept brainwashing his grandpa with information about extraterrestrials by using movies.
Meanwhile, he kept training his body on a daily basis, until he finally conquered the stairs.
As he can now climb up and down with ease, breaking only a little sweat. On the other hand, his plan towards the Island remodel was already over.
The only thing he was waiting for, was the arrival of the great chaos, so he can save his grandfather and start implementing his plan.
....
2024/06/15 17:50 PM only 5 minutes were left before the transmission begins.
Felix was sitting on the couch in the living room.
He turned his head and glanced worriedly at his grandfather, who became addicted to Alien genre movies.
He somehow already managed to finish more than 18 movies over the period of his stay here.
'I probably overdid my brainwashing. Looking at his face which is filled with joy as he saw aliens slaughter humans, I don't doubt he will feel happiness from the transmission and not fear.'
He peeked at his phone and saw only 5 minutes were left.
"Grandpa come over here, and sit next to me."
Robert just shushed him and pointed at the TV. A clear sign of don't bother me. Felix sighed and went to sit next to him.
Time ticked second by second slowly until only a couple were left.
Felix, who always had a confident expression on his face, couldn't help but sweat from the distress of failing his mission.
If he didn't save his grandpa with all of those memories, he could honestly just commit suicide.
Finally, the faithful moment had arrived.
Felix counted backward in his mind ' Three, Two,... One'

And so it begins.
...
Up in the air, in a public airplane that carried 300 passengers.
An old man sat next to a kid, who was shivering from the dread of flying.
The old man said kindly, "Don't worry child, there is nothing to be afraid of since planes have 99.999% of successful flights. They are even safer than cars. So ju..." before he managed to finish his sentence.
A voice was heard in his head Like a decree from above.
"Dear Primitive humans, we are the scouting and planting crew of The Alexander Kingdom, which owns 10 districts. Each having hundreds of solar systems. We discovered your planet by chance when our Interstellar coordinator device had a small complication."
"Now that we introduced ourselves properly. Let's get down to business. Based on the Supremacy Games Alliance treaty, number 12 in the book of SGA rules. We are obligated to explain the three choices that you have currently.
The first choice is to submit to the Alexander kingdom and swear eternal loyalty to our royal family, thus securing your safety from other invaders.
The second choice is to refuse and get Invaded and looted by our scouting fleet, and based on the primitive level of your technology, our AI calculated your chances of victory are 0.00000000000...1% As the only viable way of you having a draw, is by some chance the sun goes supernova destroying both of us together.
The last remaining choice is to Join the Supremacy Game Alliance, which will ensure your survival if you did not break its rules. For more information about the third choice you can only obtain it in person."
"You have 7 days to send someone to represent your planet to give us your final decision. You can find our temporary base in the middle of Antarctica, here are the coordinates 76.299965 - 148.003021."
"We await hearing good news from you. The mind transmission will turn off now."
The old man froze with blankness on his face for more than 30 seconds.
No one spoke as everyone was holding their breaths deep within. Suddenly, pained coughing resounded loudly in the plane.
"Cough!!!" "Cough!"
A white-haired Elder gripped his chest in anguish, yet his eyes were clouded with trepidation.
That cough managed to awaken everyone from their spell. Just as they wanted to ask about the transmission.
A sudden collision between their plane and another one managed to ripe them all apart, as flames and blood rained from the sky.
...
A blonde-haired man was driving a track peacefully while listening to country music. Yet, suddenly blankness assaulted him out of nowhere.
Meanwhile, his truck just kept moving forward crushing into tens of cars, who also lost control and started to collide with each other heavily.
Gas tanks exploded, rising black clouds of smoke in the air.
People crying and weeping as they held what left of their family members, begging for help from anyone and calling for 911 to arrive.
Unfortunately, no one answered both their calls of rescue, as the world was turned upside down ruined in flames and destruction.
Who would bother saving others, when they couldn't even secure their own safety?
...
Every country in the world, whether small or big, was in complete chaos and disarray.
Presidents stood in a daze for hours, after realizing their authority and power over the masses, was going to be lost.
While a few ones who woke up from their daze acted with the speed of light and ordered their subordinates to contain the upcoming chaos.
Not every leader in the world was incompetent.
.....
Sky Pearl Island, at the resort hotel, in the living room of the suite….
Felix rushed to his grandfather's side without waiting for the transmission to finish. He held his wrist and measured his heartbeat.
Just like he feared, it was rising slowly.
But he couldn't do anything yet. Not until the transmission finishes, since Alexander's Kingdom was using a general technique from the Hive race to bypass the human race weaker consciousness barrier, to deliver a message.
And before the process finishes, it must not be interrupted, lest the barrier cracks or in worse cases shatter.
Felix managed to bypass the transmission control since his soul barrier was one of the best. After all, it was created by the combination of two souls, and one of them was from a peak race.
30 seconds later...
The transmission had ended and Robert whose heart pressure was rising during it, started to slowly fall back.
"Felix, I must have watched too many alien movies these days. I even started to hear voices in my head telling me that the Alexander Kingdom is about to invade If we don't make a choice or some bullshit." Robert rubbed his temples with a muddled look.
Felix did not dare to break the news that everything that he heard was real. He would be a fool to waste such a god-sent opportunity.
"Alright grandpa go take a rest, enough movies from now on. They really started to affect your mental health."
"Sigh, I guess you are right. I am really getting old."
Felix guided him to his bedroom and said, "tonight you sleep here no need to head back to your suite. I will sleep in the guest room."
"Alright, good night."
Felix replied with a gentle smile, "good night, Grandpa."
'The first step was successful. Now I just need to feed him a Longevity potion that will cure his heart disease and provide him with extra centuries to live.'
He sighed in relief while taking his phone out planning to call Leila.

Dream Dungeon
Welcome to the dream dungeon. Ely suddenly finds himself in a mysterious dungeon accessed only through sleeping. Many people are drawn into this dream world, confused and mystified. Those in this dungeon must kill monsters to survive; maybe even each other. Join Ely as he struggles to survive a ruthless environment. What replaces his rest is untold trauma. What seems like an innocent game trope turns into a nightmare. This is a story of tragedy and the path to ultimate power. All in the hopes of an uncertain survival. _________ This fiction has NOT been abandoned. I made a haughty promise earlier to not worry because I'll continue this series, and with things lately, I've only proved myself a liar. Further promises dwindled, and I've lost trust. So many things have been going on recently that I've been booked. I will refrain from making any future guarantees or promises as my busy schedule will stay with me for a long long while. Time for me to actually spend on writing and revising won't appear until at the least November 19. I won't say expect that's when I'll restart, but you can expect expecting it to maybe happen. That's really shallow. But with everything going on, I've let my small reading base down. I apologize. I still stick by my statement though that I won't abandon this project. I plan to stick it to the end, no matter the delay. Most importantly, thank you everyone; readers who both like and dislike my work. I appreciate your time spent on my dumb imagination. Stay toasty my readers in this winter season. Cheers. UPDATE: We're back on track. Thank you for your patience. Any future readers, heyo! Glad you're here. UPDATE 2: So far it's been 21 days since I last uploaded a chapter. The best thing done for any fiction, no matter how good it is, is that it continues, and I have a bad history with that. 1 fiction on hiatus and already more delays with less than 20 chapters in this fiction. I've been very preoccupied with adding more things to do in my life rather than actually committing to any particular thing. That applies primarily to this. I cannot abandon this, as busy as my future looks and will look as I get busier and busier. Someday, I hope, I will be able to sit down and just write. just. write. But for now, I ask for patience. I suppose I'm glad this fiction hasn't picked up so that I don't disappoint too many people if any really. But I need to commit and it's going to happen sometime and sometime soon. No more flowery words. I'll see you later. UPDATE 3: It's very evident I won't be able to pick up this story for a while. With AP Testing, competitions, and other things I am busier than ever. But I must complete this fiction. I have too. Until next time. UPDATE 4: It is now the summer. I owe everyone an apology. Chances are, nobody's around to see this, and that is okay. I only blame myself for this sort of brokenness of a fiction, not that it is actually that bad but I am just exaggerating it for dramatic effect.But what's not exaggerated is the severity of my broken promise. I apologize for my naive claims about finishing a novel that I couldn't finish and that I didn't have the discipline to finish. Nor the skills, really, I was and am still an immature writer.What is to place now? I want to make it clear I understand this is my fault. I will man up to this. And I will accept any criticism. I understand I messed up. Reading Stephen King's On Writing made it clear to me that I need to do two things:Read lots.And write lots.I have done neither. If I don't have the time to read often, how do I expect to write? I need to become more experienced. I need to become a serious writer.So if I want to dream of continuing, I need to at least fulfill both requirements. I enjoy writing. I haven't written seriously outside of school in a while. I planned to write this summer and finish this. I made a lot of promises that I didn't keep.So there's that. I won't enact any self-pity, or be foolishly obsessed. What I did was wrong, and I must deal with it. I let down readers. And I apologize.I hope I can find forgiveness. This is a writer's sin.I won't promise I'll finish this. I intend to finish this, at some point, because writing is fun and I want to write. But how things are don't reflect that. Maybe I'll finish this at some point. Maybe I won't. I won't be naive to make that promise.I thank everyone who has read this if this is the end. If not, and hopefully not, I thank everyone who is to read future chapters. I thank everyone who allowed me to live in the miniscule little dream of mine as I passed my days. I thank everyone who cares enough to read this. Until next time, peace everyone. Thank you. You are all great readers and great people. I wish everyone the best in whatever reading/writing endeavors follow you henceforth.
