*Step step step*

  Luna is currently running inside a giant rectangular room with 20x25 meters in size, where the theme is an amusement park. There are many rides spread across the entire room, ranging from roller coasters, carousels, bumper cars, a Ferris wheel, a log chute, a scrambler, battery cars, go karts, a mirror maze, and even a haunted house.

  “WOHOOOOOOOOOO!!!”

  Luna is running with both of her hands raised above her head and screaming at the top of her lungs joyfully.

  “I’ve never been to an amusement park before!! THIS IS SO AWESOMEEEE!!!”

  There are so many other people in this room. Most of them decided to stay and distract themselves by enjoying all of the rides here from the reality of their situation.

  “I’M GONNA RIDE EVERYTHING!! WOHOOOOOOOOOO!!!”

  Luna proceeded to ride a roller coaster.

  “AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!”

  She screamed her lungs out when she was going down a steep downhill with everybody else in the pack. She gets off the coaster with a bittersweet feeling. It was really scary, and she genuinely thought she was going to die, yet she enjoyed both because of the thrill and because it was her first time riding one.

  Next, she rides a carousel.

  “WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!”

  She was enjoying this ride because of how slow and joyful it felt compared to the roller coaster. She had fun nonetheless and could not stop screaming the whole time. Her screaming is supposed to bother other people normally, but given the situation, everyone decided to scream in joy as well, joining her instead.

  “WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!”

  “YEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!”

  “WAHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!”

  Everybody who rode the carousel with Luna was happy for the entire duration.

  Next, Luna rides the log chute ride.

  “WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!”

  *SPLASH*

  “AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!”

  “HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!”

  “WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!”

  Everyone screamed at the top of their lungs the moment the log they’re in went downhill and hit the bottom, splashing water everywhere, even to those who were watching from outside the ride.

  Next, Luna is riding the bumper car rides.

  *BAAM*

  “OUCH!! HEY!! I’LL GET YOUUU!!!”

  “HAHAHAHAHA!! COME AND GET ME!!!”

  Luna’s bumper car was bumped from behind by a stranger, and she’s determined to bump their car back as revenge. But in her attempt to bump the stranger, she ended up bumping 5 other bumper cars, except the one that hit her. And she was chased after by 6 bumper cars for the entire duration, though that did not break her spirit at all; instead, she was very determined to come out on top of this situation. Once it’s over, everyone shakes each other’s hands and keeps saying to one another, ‘Good game!’. They all laughed it all off without holding any silly grudge over this silly round of bumper cars.

  Next, Luna enters the haunted house alone.

  She was so scared, but she had no choice since she didn’t know anyone else other than Kasumi and Hana inside this game. She braced herself and went through the entire haunted house.

  In the first room, she jumped and almost passed out when a tall doll resembling a ghost woman wearing all white with long black hair that covered her entire face with her hair popped out from the side of the wall. In the second room, she froze when three vampires jumped out of a coffin from three different directions. In the third room, she froze yet again when 10 disembodied heads fell down from the ceiling and hung in front of her, tied by a very thin string that made them look like they were genuinely floating in the air.

  She takes a quick break at the transition space between rooms to take a breather and to calm herself down. And then she continues and proceeds to go through the entire haunted house with a frozen facial expression, as she was so scared that she genuinely didn’t know what to do anymore.

  . . . . .

  Luna has finished the haunted house and is now lying down on a bench that was available and scattered throughout the entire amusement park. She puts one of her forearms over her face.

  “I am going to die. . .”

  “Excuse me, young lady.”

  *?!*

  Suddenly, a fat clown approached Luna, and his face was so close to hers that it startled her so badly that she just froze.

  The clown has a completely white face with a red spherical nose. The skin around his eyes is painted red as well, with a differing shape. His left eye has a red diamond shape, and his right eye has a red X shape. He is wearing a white shirt with black buttons. His long sleeves are different colors with the same checkered patterns on each side. Red on his right and orange on his left. There is a white frill on both ends of his long sleeves. He’s wearing a rainbow colored long baggy pants and a pair of purple clown shoes with red spherical fabric on top of the bent edges on each side. His body build is fat, and his tummy is very big and round. His head is mostly bald on the front and top, and the hair left on the side and on the back was very curly and styled typically like most clowns.

  “. . . .”

  “Ah! I apologize if I scared you! I didn’t mean to! I guess I just looked that scary, huh? Here!”

  The scary clown hands a cotton candy on a stick to Luna.

  *!*

  “WOOHHH!! CAN I?”

  “Of course, young lady!”

  “YAAYY!!”

  Luna takes the cotton candy, and she immediately forgets about how scary the clown looks.

  “Alright, I’m gonna share this with everyone! Have all the fun you want in this joyful amusement park! Hohohohohohoho!!”

  And the scary clown left.

  “WOOOAAAHHH!! I’VE NEVER HAD COTTON CANDY BEFORE!! YIPIEEEE!!!”

  She is overjoyed by how big the cotton candy is, as it is almost as big as her own head. She licks a bit of the cotton candy.

  “AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!! SO SWEEEEEEEEEEETTTTTTTT!!! IT TASTES SO GOOOOODDDD!!!”

  Luna takes a bite of the cotton candy.

  “MMMMMMMMMMMMMMHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!”

  As she has never tasted cotton candy previously, she’s feeling over the moon about the amount of sugar she’s tasting.

  *KRSSH KRSSH KRSSH*

  She proceeds to gulp down the entire cotton candy in seconds.

  “MMHHHHH!!! THE BEST FOOD I’VE EVER EATEN IN MY ENTIRE LIFE!!”

  She gets up from the bench and is feeling so ecstatic right now.

  “WOHOOOOO!!! LET’S GO ON ANOTHER RIDEEEEE!!!”

  Next, Luna rides a Ferris wheel alone.

  “WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!”

  She planted her face against the window to look at the scenery.

  “WOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!”

  Even though this is an indoor amusement park, this entire room has properly beautiful background visuals far in the distance. It’s like some kinda optical illusion that affects everyone inside the room since the walls of the room are still very clear and visible to them as well.

  “So pretty!! I wish Quroe-san and Kasumi-san were with me. . .”

  Luna’s face turned to a frown all of a sudden.

  “That is right. We’re all currently trapped and separated from Quroe-san and Kaito-san. And I haven’t even found Kasumi-san and Hana-san, yet here I am enjoying and playing around on my own. . .”

  As Luna lost herself in her thoughts, she accidentally caught a glimpse of the same scary clown far down below on the ground.

  “Huh? That clown is standing on a platform, waving his hands and gathering everyone in the room around him??”

  As soon as the Ferris wheel stops, Luna gets out of it and rushes towards the crowd. She stands at the very back of the crowd.

  “HELLOOOO!! IS THIS EVERYONEEEE?!”

  “YEEEAAAAAHHHHH!!”

  The crowd answers. The clown closes his eyes and reopens them.

  “That is true! Seems like everyone has gotten off all of the rides. Thank you, everyone, for gathering here! Did you all have fun?” shouts the clown, asking a question.

  “YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!”

  Everyone, including Luna, shouts in agreement. The clown smiles at their reactions.

  “It’s been a while since I’ve been to an amusement park! This is so fun!” shouts someone from the crowd.

  “Yeah! I’ve gone to one with my family about 12 years ago!”

  “Yeah! I’ve always been alone, and I’ve never had friends to go with someone, but this is an amazing opportunity for me!”

  “Me too! Me too! I’ve never been to an amusement park before. So, this was such an amazing experience for me! THANK YOU, CLOWN-SAN!!” shouts Luna from the back of the crowd with such enthusiasm.

  “Yeaaaahh!! It made me forget that we were all inside a killing game!”

  “Hahahahaha!! That’s right!!”

  “I see, I see! That is good!” said the clown.

  “But now, let us continue that killing game from now on!!”

  *BANG*

  The clown suddenly pulls out a toy gun and shoots it upwards towards the air. It actually shoots out confetti of various colors, and they all scatter everywhere in the air.

  “. . .Huh?”

  “Wait, what did that clown just say?”

  “Eeehh? Did I mishear him?”

  “Huh?”

  Luna wonders to herself.

  “(I definitely hear him saying that we should continue the killing game. . .)”

  “Everyone!! You all had fun together with each other for a while in this room, correct? Now, let us kill each other despite the bond we just built towards one another! If the killing game were between people who don’t know each other, that would be boring! That’s why I had all of you bonded somewhat with one another!!”

  “. . . .”

  “What are you saying, clown?”

  “Yeah! What do you mean killing game?”

  “We never even signed up for this madness!”

  “In fact, please get us out of here or I’ll report you to the police!”

  “YEAH!! QUIT IT WITH THIS WHOLE KILLING GAME NONSENSE!!”

  The crowd became impatience with the clown, and they started shouting nonstop at him.

  “Hmmm, I guess a killing game cannot start without a proper motivation, huh?”

  The clown lifts his right hand.

  *CTAK*

  He flicks his finger, and the doors to this room are all locked permanently.

  “Now, then, not a single person can get out of this room! You all will be stuck inside here forever!”

  *!!!!*

  “WHAT? LET US OUT RIGHT NOW!!”

  “YEAAAHHH!!! LET US OUT YOU UGLY CLOWN!!”

  “BOOOOOOOOOOO!!!”

  The crowd starts throwing trash that they picked up from the ground at the clown.

  “BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!”

  “UGLY CLOWN!!!”

  “LET US LEAVE YOU STUPID CLOWN!!”

  “Everyone, please don’t litter in the amusement park!! There is a way to leave this place!”

  *!!!*

  “There are currently 365 people inside this amusement park. I will let the last 10 people alive leave this room!”

  “. . . .”

  “CLOWN-SAN!! ARE YOU INCLUDED IN THE 365 PEOPLE INSIDE THIS ROOM?!” shouts someone in the crowd.

  “Hm? Yes, you are correct! However--”

  *CTAK*

  *!!*

  The clown flicks his finger again, and he suddenly disappears.

  “I didn’t think I needed to say it, but you guys don’t think any of you can actually take me down, right? No one is that delusional here, correct?”

  *!!!*

  Everyone searched and followed where his voice was coming from and found that he was standing at the top of the Ferris wheel.

  *!*

  But then someone from the crowd jumps up high towards the clown.

  *FLAPS*

  Everyone wipes their eyes once to check if they’re seeing things correctly, including Luna, but they all saw that the person who jumped had a pair of brown wings growing out of their back.

  “IF YOU’RE GONNA FORCED US TO KILL EACH OTHER, AT LEAST GIVE US AN EXAMPLE FIRST, YOU UGLY CLOWN!!”

  A Believer with a Faith power to summon falcon wings on his back challenged the clown to a fight. He has reached the clown’s height at the top of the Ferris wheel. He charges at the clown at high speed. His hands also transformed into the falcon’s talons.

  “I AM A BEAST TRANSFORMATION TYPE THAT CAN TRANSFORM MY BODY PARTS INTO THAT OF A FALCON!! A RARTIY IN TODAY’S DAY AND AGE!! IN TERMS OF KILLING CAPABILITY, I WON’T LOSE TO ANYONE!! FALCONS ARE ONE OF THE BEST HUNTERS IN THE ANIMAL KINGDOM AFTER ALL!!”

  *BWOOOSSHHH*

  The falcon-man increases his fight speed so much that he almost breaks the sound barrier.

  “Is that so? Well then, let’s see if a falcon can survive this!”

  The clown simply raises his index finger upwards.

  *!!!*

  *BWOOOOOSSSHHHHH*

  *GRAAAAHHHHKKKK*

  *SPLAAAATTTTT*

  An entire carousel suddenly appeared from below and crashed against the falcon-man, and he was dragged all the way towards the sky ceiling above, and he was crushed and flattened into smithereens. He dies instantly, and the carousel fades away, leaving only a pool of blood splattered on the ceiling above.

  “My name is Clinton! People simply called me the Clown! My Faith power is called CircuSmstances! It allows me to create a pocket dimension and trap anyone who gets caught within a 200-meter diameter from where I am. It is a Special Type Faith power that allows me to conjure up a themed-park world of my own design. Within this pocket dimension, I am basically the god of this world, and I can freely control everything that I have created!”

  . . . . . .

  The crowd was shocked and scared as soon as the falcon-man died and the clown explained his Faith power. They all quickly realized how screwed they really are inside this room.

  “But for this instance, I didn’t catch anyone! I already conjured up this world, and I worked together with the Game Master so that our Faith powers don’t interfere with each other. The doors that you see on the walls are two-layered doors that connect this space to the maze that the Game Master created outside of this dimension. I was so surprised to see how wonderful this all works out! I guess you could say, this is a game within a game!”

  After the clown’s long speech, everyone began to subconsciously walk backwards.

  . . . .

  “R-RUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUNNNN!!!”

  Someone in the crowd screamed, and the entire crowd dispersed and ran away in a panic.

  “NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!”

  “AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!”

  “RUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUNNNN!!!”

  “AAAAAAAAAARRRRGGGHHHHHH!!!”

  Because of that panic scattering, about 25 people were killed because of the violent stampede.

  “(I HAVE TO HIDE FROM EVERYONE!!)”

  Luna had run away silently before the falcon-man even died. She had already hidden herself inside a counter of a cashier belonging to a popcorn stall near the wall of the room to the west.

  “Now, then, LET THE GAME BEGIN!!”

  The clown Clinton smiles creepily, staring at everyone from the top of the Ferris wheel.
