Third Stage, Day 40.
"Good morning to all the candidates."
"The first rank for points is occupied by Candidate Three Five with a total of 594 points."
"Charity and Robbery systems are active up to an unspecified time limit."
"The reward of 1000 points for the Candidate who successfully eliminated Candidate Three Seven, has been deactivated."
"Happy fighting!!"
The notifications were the same and they always received every morning, but there were two very surprising things the 18 Candidates left on the Island this morning.
First, the name Gaju is no longer referred to as the winner of the most points for the first time. Now his position was replaced by Gama with 594 points.
The second, the 1000 points reward that had been the dream of the Candidates had now been deactivated.
Candidates are wondering, what happened to Gaju?
Did he die in the woods?
Did he already use all of his points to purchase items?
Or did someone manage to eliminate him?
These questions popped into the heads of the Candidates but no one was able to answer them.

Gama sat on a rock located on the western edge of the Island and chuckled after listening to the notification this morning. This was the first time he had not experienced a morning attack that routinely attacked him for decades before.
"Hahahahahaha," the Negro's laughter broke the silence in that place.
"I'm a Genius!!" yell Gama.
"In the end, even monsters like Gaju have to submit to my dominance!!"
"O World!! Prepare to welcome your new ruler!!"
"Gama the Genius!!"
Gama clenched his hands up while standing on the rock. He looks so happy this morning. This was the first time he had managed to rank first in the points acquisition and it certainly made him very happy.

Srettt. Sreeettt. Srettt. Srettt.
Strange sounds were repeatedly heard somewhere in the Forest. A black shadow could be seen thrusting something into the tree in front of him.
This place is shady and filled with trees with very lush leaves, making sunlight into something foreign here. The atmosphere is humid and many mosses and fungi grow on the trunks and roots of trees that protrude from the ground.
The shadow was still busy thrusting his dagger into the trunk of a tree that actually had nothing wrong. After some tens or even hundreds of dagger stabs, the black shadow stood up and its breath was breathless.
"Missing..."
"My chances are gone..."
"Fashion no longer gives me the quickest way to get my dream mimicry suit."
Koma knows what the problem is. He is different from Gaju or Gama. The two monsters fought openly and openly. Standing in front of his enemy and swinging fists and kicks without hesitation.
And himself? Koma is an Assassin. Since when did an Assassin challenge his enemy openly and in a shower of light?
Therefore, Koma can only collect 13 - 14 points on average per day. After all this time, he only managed to collect 528 points. Mimicry suit his dream has a value of 650 points. With his progress in collecting points, Koma at least takes 9 to 10 more days to get enough points to get it.
Will the hunt be over when he gets his mimicry suit? Of course not. Koma still needs a better and suitable dagger for him. Koma also wanted to increase his speed again. And the Island provides a speed enhancement serum on its list. Those are the items that Koma is targeting.

"Shirt," called Tian slowly towards his soulmate.
"Why?" ask Gaju.
"Our points are very few," Tian replied with a face that was about to cry.
"Why are you?" said Gaju while chuckling at the cute level of his soulmate.
"Look! Just 12 points try? This is probably the smallest point earned by the Candidates on the Island," Tian continued.
"Tian, why the hell are you sad like that? It's just a point and we can look for it again. The most important thing is that you are here now" said Gaju.
Tian simply nodded his head and wiped the tears that had wet his face. He glanced happily at Gaju, who was getting closer and closer to him.
"To become a psychic we need at least two items for you, an intelligence enhancement serum and mental training knowledge. The serum will need 900 points and his training knowledge only needs 100 points. So, we need 1000 points to make you a psychic" Gaju continued.
"Fashion, didn't I ever say that you should use that point for yourself. I've been happy even if it can only see you for a minute longer" whispered Tian softly.
"Tian, I promise, we can definitely survive both, huh? You have to trust me," said Gaju trying to convince Tian.
Tian simply took a deep breath. It was not that he did not want to believe Gaju's sincerity or the promise he made, but Tian knew what was going to happen and they were facing him in the future.

A humanoid creature can be seen popping its head from the surface of the sea. He took a deep breath and looked towards the land that was in front of him. More precisely an island. The island he knew was inhabited. And the inhabitants are human. Humans are almost extinct on the surface and are now used as an extraordinarily expensive commodity.
But in this place, the tiger-headed creature and had a dappled skin between black and yellow was walking with a wide smile on its lips.
He smelled a human being, in a place like this, after all these years he was imprisoned in a dark room and without any of that sight.
"Roooooooaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr, "the creature roars with all its might and makes anyone who hears it tremble with fear.
Even though he had a tiger head, the rest of his body resembled a human. He walked upright with both feet, his hands were also used like ordinary humans. What can distinguish his hands from ordinary human hands is a pair of claws that look pointy and ready to tear their prey.
"Stop your noise!!" there was a commanding pitched voice towards the tiger-headed man.
"Knights... Knight Eldar." said the tiger man with a slightly tense countenance when he saw where the voice came from.
"Humphs. Basic brainless Beastman," maki the figure called Knight Eldar was.
Knight Eldar stepped up and headed towards the shoreline which looked desolate and lifeless. A short while later, dozens of elves and beastmen followed him from behind. Walk slowly and respectfully to the figure in front of them.
The tiger man who had been roaring with all his might, now disappeared among the dozens of beastmen and other elves who were following the ranks behind the Knight Eldar.
The elf with a muscular stature and a body that looked stronger than the other elves raised his hand.
A signal that they all fall silent.
