~KIERA~
I entered the greenish portal door not knowing what's ahead.
As the lights blind me, I blinked. When I open my eyes again, I felt weird...
I looked around and found everything weird!
This place is weird as we are surrounded by walls of something squishy and red. I don't even wanna know nor touch what that is.
And... and...
"Are those... centipede?"
I shook my head. It can't be a centipede, it doesn't have legs.
Yes, they don't have legs! I was talking about others! Well, I think it was them as they kept moving and I haven't seen anyone around even though I'm not the first one to enter.
Wait... If that is the other ghosts then...
I looked at myself and I was right. Even if I can't see my whole body, I can't see my legs nor arms anymore.
Now that I looked at it carefully, I look like a tadpole!
Did we reincarnate as frogs? No way!
This is so eww! I sighed even tho nothing comes out as I don't have a mouth.
I don't know how I can see though, even without eyes. How did I know? Well, all of us look the same so I probably don't have one too.
No face at all. Just a squishy white thingy that looks like a tadpole. That's what we are.
Even if I say something, it will only stay in my mind.
"Welp, what could get worse?" Hearing myself, I wanna cover my mouth but don't have one nor hands.
This annoying mind and mouth of mine, this could get me in trouble! The last time I said those things... Something worse certainly happened!
Dang it! Don't tell me it will truly make it worse?!
And I was right...
Beep!
At exactly 10 minutes, the portal door was closing even if there are still some who wanted to go in. It waited for no one and just closed it tightly.
Well, it can't be helped if not everyone can decide fast. As there's only one entrance but no exit. No matter how much they tried to break out.
When the portal door was closed, a voice was heard. But it's a different voice this one.
It's a man's voice but with emotions unlike the monotone woman earlier. How I know it was a woman? When it was mimicking some sarcastic or childish voice. It sounds like a woman no matter what and sounds the same.
"Welcome players to the Enchantrix Race! I'm your host, Virus! And... you didn't think you could get your wish easily right?" Said the voice from who knows where... again.
I was right, there's certainly a catch and I bet they are gonna say it now that we can't go back.
"Well, if you want a wish, then prove you are worthy of it! Win this game and you'll receive tons of surprises! All you have to do is finish the line!"
"It doesn't matter if you're first or last, as long as you get to the finish and put your flag at the top, you win!"
Flag? We're not holding a flag though. Are they gonna give us some? And, is this some frog's race? Like from a tadpole to be a frog race?
"Some of you may not know what you are right now but I bet most of you know! You all are semen! Oh wait, I mean sperm cells! Yehey!"
What the f*ck!
This is f*cking worse! I thought we are a tadpole! Well, I don't mind being one but a sperm? Heck no!
This is not an Enchantrix race, it's not even enchanted at all! This is a monster's race!
All men are monsters! And sperm is their bullet of disasters! Hence, it's a monster's race!
However, no matter how much I complained, nobody can hear me.
"Since all of you are sperm, you probably have an idea what this race is about and how long will you last right?"
How long will we last? Wait... Now that he said that, I remember what my sister told me, sperm can lasts longer in a woman's womb for how many days.
Don't tell me this race is about... That? Eww!
Wait, that's not the focus here. How long can sperms survive again?
"Your job is to put a flag, aka seed, in the woman's egg cell! So once the race starts, keep swimming until you reach there!"
I knew it. It's making babies race. Seriously, it's a monster race. Babies are the fruit of monsters.
"However, sperms can only last for at least three to five days! And the way to the woman's tomb is dangerous! What more to her egg cell right? That is why finishing the race and planting seed is the only thing you have to worry about!"
If I have a face, I probably have a weird one right now. This guy wanted us to create babies. Did they even ask the woman's permission?
Rude.
"Right now, you are inside the man's... Ahm, elephant, and balls! Once this place moves, keep swimming and go to the direction where a light emerged. That's the entrance and a starting line!"
Say what now? The more he describes this game, the more awkward he sounds. And the more disgusting I felt.
Inhale... exhale...
I don't have a nose...
Shucks!
"You have to be fast to get out and move, if you stay in here, you'll be disqualified. Well, good luck, and have fun!" And we couldn't hear him anymore.
I wanted to cry but I don't have eyes nor tears. I'm just a squishy something.
That voice didn't even tell us where is the seed we will plant?
Then, a thought came to me...
Are we the seed?
I shook my head, better not to think anything for now. It only stressed me out.
Argh! Since the game hasn't started yet, I should try how this tadpole-like works.
I know this is a sperm but saying it so awkward. I look like a tadpole anyway.
I moved my body around and tried to swim. It took me a while to balance myself but it wasn't that hard.
After all, I only have a big circle head and a tail. I learned that my tail is for swimming while my big head is for balancing.
While I practice, I noticed that the place became more crowded. There are more sperms around! So only a few of us are ghosts and others are real sperms?
After a moment of practice, the place started to move. It feels like a 10.8 magnitude or more, earthquake! However, I don't feel dizzy at all!
This earthquake lasted long. Sometimes the movements are slow and sometimes fast.
I don't wanna think about it but since I'm not innocent anymore, I know what's happening out there.
It feels lewd.
What a pervy thought! No! Stop it, Kiera! You know nothing!
I wonder what kind of position they were doing?
No! Snap out of it! Just think you are in a game where earthquake, landslide, tsunami and so on exists normally!
Yes! A survival game that will turn into a race!
I don't know how long did I lie to myself to keep myself sane but the earthquake stops when we got transported out.
Of course, we swim like hell to get to the other side! However, with this crowd, it was hard.
I became last to enter the starting line instead.
And that wasn't the worse. I almost die as the air touched me as my whole body didn't get to go in, my tail was stuck outside!
Tsk! This woman probably closed the door!
Then when the woman's hole opens again, I swim as fast as I could inside even with a scratched tail!
Oh, poor tail. Now I look like I have a tattoo!
.......
"Hey V, you've been staring at one player ever since she enters. Do you like that girl? Don't forget we are a system." Virus poked V.
V rolled his eyes, "Stupid, watch the clips and you'll see how funny what she's been thinking."
Virus stared at him then watched the clips on his screen. A moment later on he laughs, "Pft, hahaha! No wonder you've been watching her! I wouldn't be bored watching her like this! Hahaha! A bullet of disaster!"
V shook his and switch his screen. Virus tilted his head, "You're not gonna watch her anymore? Did she die?"
"Almost, by air. However, that's not the reason why. The game started, I have to focus on our mission."
"Aww, she's so entertaining. Bummer. Well, I guess I have to go back to work too. I hope she wins or at least chosen by Enchantress."
"Hm, hope so."

END of CHAPTER TWO
~KIERA~"I can do this!""This pain is nothing!"I swam as fast as I could to get the hell out of this round. I'm not sure why, but this place hates me.[ROUND 1: VAGINAL ACIDITY]I thought that the air earlier could kill me, I didn't know the fluid in this place was the same!As soon as I entered, my body, well my tadpole-like body slowly dissipated. I felt like I was cooked in 100 plus degrees celsius!I could feel my tail burning like hell and when I look, my tail was slowly vanishing with the bubbles!I have to get out of here before I lose my tail for good! It might be my feet I'm losing!I wanted to cry but acid bubbles were the only thing in my head, in my whole body to be exact.As I swim, I saw another tadpoles-like wiggling around, most of them were also affected by the acidity of this place.&n
~KIERA~"Just keep swimming~ just keep swimming~"Is this what Dori felt in the movie, Finding Nemo? Except, no one is eating her tail?I looked at my tail who became thinner than before. I felt sad but happy at the same time.Did I get thin? I mean, if my tail is my real feet, well soul feet, and since I'm fat, well chubby to be exact if my tail became thin, does that mean I also became thin?I grinned but no one can see that.However, what if I just lost blood, muscles, and so on?Wait, I'm a ghost! I don't have that!Oh, what if I just lost some of my parts in my body as a soul?Arghh! This is confusing as hell! I better ask this to those voices later!For now, I have to at least finish the game! This round first!Ignoring the pain of my whole body, I keep swimming and still
"Merry Christmas" Hohoho~"Sperm... No!" Kiera's eyes opened as wide as it gets as she was shocked by the dream she had. She clutched her chest and sit up straight, "Ha, ha," she breathes fast and was still looking for more air.Inhale... Exhale...After she calms down, she looked around."This..." She was stunned to see the place she's at. She's in a big red bed in a big room full of red walls. "Am I in a horror house? Well, being a sperm is much scarier than staying in this place... Where am I?""No! You are not in a horror house! That's a wrong theme!" Suddenly, there was a voice that she couldn't find.
~KIERA at present~"Argh!" As I swim to nowhere, I groaned. I didn't look back anymore, I don't wanna see my tail no more. If I still have it.How long have I been swimming? That, I don't know. But this hella place is so annoying! Why is it vast?! Why is it extended?!Maybe it isn't large nor long, have I been swimming around?Nope! That can't be, I can't be lost here.My instincts told me the way is just ahead. It's probably long. I must swim fast, I don't know how long I can handle the acidity in here.And I don't know how thin did I become. Will I even make it?
~KIERA, at present~"Almost there!" I can see the door to the next stage just a few feet from me! I can do it!However, I'm not the only sperm who's going in that direction. Some sperms swim fast as they entered that door.I stumbled as I couldn't take this current wave of sperms. I stayed in one place while getting bounced off everywhere.'Ahh, will I make as the last one again? Or couldn't anymore?'While rolling and bouncing around, I got a good look at my body that I tried to ignore.This is bad, now that I see it, I could feel the horrid pain. Visuals are everything when it comes to pain no matter what your mind says. That's me.
~KIERA, at present~[ROUND TWO: CERVIX! MUCUS TRAP!][SPERM COUNT: 10M/107M][PLAYERS: 45/45]I don't know why but there is a sperm who just helped me up to get to this round. And that sperm is just beside me, swimming together.I felt like I had a bodyguard. I'm sure this is a player too but why would he or she help me? I could be the first one to die in this race.However, with this shiny sperm's help, I survived back there.When we reached the 2nd round, something weird is going on.The sperm count abruptly dropped...[ROUND TWO: CERVIX! M
~KIERA, at present~It stopped... That mucus that almost attacked me, stopped!And it stopped just a half-inch away from my poor beautiful face!Argh! I could see how gooey and big it is! It's almost the same size as me! Is this what it feels like when you get to see your close up booger mucus?Though cervical mucus is much clearer than the booger, the thought of it being a mucus still bother me!Fortunately, it stopped and didn't attack me. How disgusting it would be?The sperm behind me who was the reason for this event was also stunned to see what's happening. That sperm slowly come out from behind me however, the mucus wiggles once more in front of us and it scares that sperm which hid in my back once again.That sperm is like a leech, sticking to me, and rather than zapping my blood, this sperm made me a shield!&n
(A/N: Before we start this chapter, just a little heads up in case my sweet Trix readers would get confused. This arc is like a knowing-each-other arc. Here, you'll likely understand Kiera and the other players. Hence, it is more about their pasts and how the system chooses them. The race was more likely the bonus hehe~ Have fun!).......~ARLO~My life was a perfect one, well even the end of it was perfect. I got a perfect family, a perfect school, perfect friends, and... perfect me.Well, that's what I think. Jealous people would be... jealous. Hence, they always had that frown on their faces every time they saw my family, especially me.When I just got born, my parents locked me up in my tower, my room for how many years. They said, 'I wasn't ready for the world to
