Supreme lied on his bed, in the room given to him by Nora, his thoughts wandering.
'I need to creak the meaning behind this word before winning this game, or I'll be lost... "Go back to the beginning" Where is the beginning? It can't be the beginning I was born... Or is it?'
He sighed in frustration, staring at the ceiling.
Knock! Knock! Knock!

He sat up on the bed; "Come in."
Blood-Arrow opened the door, looked around the room, and walked towards him;
"What are you doing in here, all alone?" She asked.
"Just thinking about those words I told you guys about." He sighed helplessly.
"Don't be so down love, I have been thinking about it, and I think I have an idea."
"Really?" He looked up at her in surprise.
"You said you need to know the meaning of those words, right?"
She sat down beside him with a smile on her face.
"I already answered that."
"Fufufufu... The question is about you, Supreme, Not Michael... So start-from-the-beginning isn't focused on Michael, it's on Supreme... So where did Supreme start from the beginning?"
Supreme was speechless, staring at her like she had grown an extra head... Blood-Arrow chuckled seeing his expression.
"Start from the beginning, if my guess is right, Supreme appeared in Island Survival... That was your first game, and the beginning of Supreme."
Supreme slowly nodded in realization: "So go-to-the-beginning is actually my first game?"
"I think so."
"You think so?" Supreme stared at her for some seconds then sighed: "It's better than nothing... I'll check it out."
Knock! Knock!
The two turned to the door.
"Yes?"
"It's me, Nora. Leo is inviting everyone to the center of the island... We'll be waiting."
With that said the two heard retreating footsteps.
"Inviting us? For what?" Blood-Arrow asked, turning her head to Supreme.
Supreme stood up with a smile, and offered her his hands; "We won't find out by sitting here."
She took his hand with a smile; "You are right."
___
[Center of the island.]
Hundreds of thousands of survivors all sat in different groups, around a bonfire... The sound of chatting, music and even games could be heard, while some lied on the ground, staring at the stars in the night sky.
Supreme and Blood-Arrow flew towards the location with Nora showing the way, they were stunned seeing so many people gathered in one place, all having... Fun?
With the situation their world is in, the players were surprised seeing how happy the people were... These people were saved from the outside world and given something to hold on to, a treasure... A new life, they were given; hope.... Hope is a powerful thing.
There's a saying that a man can live for a month without food, four weeks without water and four seconds without air... But without hope... Four seconds will be difficult even if they had everything... And with the help of Leo, these poor souls got hope, and with hope, they got the will to live, and... have fun.
They all looked up seeing Nora, Supreme and Blood-Arrow landing in front of Leo, and quickly stopped what they were doing and stood up, then bowed in acknowledgment.
"We thank Mr Supreme for protecting us today!!!!"
Their voices were so loud that Supreme was momentarily stunned speechless:
"Don't be too early to thank us, As I said, We'll only accept your thanks after clearing your world of Monsters!!"
His calm voice boom all over the place, creating smiles and hopes on the Survivors' faces.
With him sitting down beside Leo on the placed blanket, everyone followed suit.
Supreme observed the bonfire which was two meters big and moved his gaze around, all his elders, then Jasmine and her group with the handful of remaining players who were also sitting around them.
'These guys look like craps.'
Supreme thought, observing the players, they might have showered, but the scars and injures were still on their bodies.
But the person who caught his gaze was the golden hair lady, sitting on Leo's left, this lady was so beautiful that it even rival Blood-Arrow's.
"Oh, I haven't introduced you guys yet, this is Potentate, she's one of my closest friends, and helped me make all these possible." Leo said.
Supreme, and the players all nodded in understanding.
The lady in front of them might look beautiful and approachable... But the surrounding energy around her gave them a second thought.
"Leo. Is there a reason for inviting us to this... Mm... What's going on here?"
He asked, moving his gaze around the place.
"When ever we're going to war, or doing something that might result to high amount of losses, we always organize this gathering... So those who has families could be with them... No one knows what's waiting ahead of us... And... Potentate brought bad new."
Leo said in a surprisingly calm tone, his gaze calm, and fixed on the bonfire.
Supreme and the players turned to Potentate, who opened her mouth;
"The Commandments has a new leader, A woman; her name is Goddess Apate, she's a lower god, and also a Commander of Moros... They're assembling all their army as we speak... And their first target is H-City."
Seeing their confused expressions, she explained;
"H-City is located at the southern part of A-City, it's a neighboring city, twice the size of A-City... A-City is the city you guys faced off the Infested."
They all nodded, finally getting her explanation.
"Do you know the enemy's total army?" Queen-of-death asked, sipping the hot tea in her cup.
"I don't know their total army, but... The army they had assembled at the moment consist of Abominations, and all the stages of infested... I'll say, they're more than 500,000 thousands, excluding the Monsters."
Pifffff!!
Queen-of-death spurted out the tea in her mouth, not only her, half of the players did the same.
"Did you just say more than 500,000?" Red-Encounter asked, his voice hoarse.
Potentate nodded her head; "They're starting with H-City, I don't know their target after that."
Leo sighed and stood up, then said to the players;
"Come with me, I got something to show all of you." Without waiting for their reply, He walked towards the cars.
The players stood up one at a time, and followed behind him.
"Maybe he's going to show us his army?" Red-Encounter guessed in a low voice, following behind Supreme.
