Withering Hope (Chap. 60) (DR/MC YouTubers)
(A/N: Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays to you guys. I had this chapter done for a few months now but I was trying to see if I could finish the rest of Part 06 too. However, school has been very time-consuming for me. I'm really sorry I haven't been updating much. This will be my third and last update in 2018 and that's not really acceptable? But it is what it is. I'm sorry, it's not much but I hope you guys like this chapter anyway. Hopefully next year will be good for us all. I appreciate you guys so much for being patient and sticking with WH this whole time.)
Holding On
Seto didn't even make it to the hallway before he stopped and collapse

(A/N: So, so sorry this took so long. Sadly, you can't expect more updates soon. This should be the last chapter released for awhile, since I'm going back to college. But thanks for sticking around! No matter how long it takes, there's no way I'll abandon this fic. You guys are the best.)
Five Times, One Time
PART 06 - A FIRE THAT BURNS WITHIN / we are the dragonhearted
"So as you all know, this show started with 16 participants. But excluding Slotty and the Hope Organization members of course, the only people who have entered this building since the killing game started are those 16 participants!"
There was a long pause. Seto's breath hitc

(A/N: 2018 is coming very very soon (or it may already be here depending on when you read this), so I'd just like to thank you all for sticking with this story and I hope 2018 is great for you all! Btw don't expect any new chapters soon; after this I have to finish Part 06 altogether before I start posting anything.)
Bitter Reunion
There was a frenzied massacre being filmed on-stage.
Tyler gasped in horror as his friends brutally attacked each other with all sorts of weapons. But they weren't props, they were real! And they were spilling blood everywhere, real crimson blood that ran thick and smelled like copper.
"Stop! STOP!!!" he cried o

Heart for One
Tyler sat on the mattress and observed the iron golems working tirelessly at the mob grinder. A while after Seto had fallen asleep, the one watching Tyler had finally decided to trust him with Seto and gone back to its job.
He wondered why they were so protective of Seto and wary of everyone else. Well, maybe they just had it out for him in particular, but he couldn't remember doing anything to piss them off. All Tyler had done was open the door and enter the room before they had started attacking him.
He didn't know much about iron golems, admittedly, but he felt like prioritizing Seto like that was unusual behavior for them.

Nerves of Steel
He was falling.
The swinging saw blade quickly shrunk from his sight as he plunged downward into the dark abyss.
I... I can't die here...!
He reached his hands out futilely as his descent continued.
I have to live... no matter what...
I... need to live... for everyone's sake! For everyone who's died! For my friends! For... for...
Still glowing magenta, he mustered up his last remaining strength to magically slow his fall...
For Annie...
For Bodil...
For Bonks...
For... Tyler...

For... the one I love...
A blast of magenta consumed Seto's vision as all consciou

Star-Crossed
Even in hard times, Jason had often been the one to offer a smile or make a silly joke to lighten the mood. True, Husky's death had hit him hard, and he had lost his way for awhile, but eventually he had found resolve and forgiven himself. Jason had been one of the few sources of light in this dark, dismal place...
...
...So why...?
Seto couldn't stop asking himself this as he stared up at the mangled, bloodied corpse hanging from the ceiling like a butchered scrap of meat.
...Why...? Why would something like this happen to Jason, of all people...? Why...?
Seto gasped raggedly as his body finally reacted and he staggered backward

Violent Ends

And in their triumph die, like fire and powder"

Seto panicked for a second before slamming the laptop shut, shoving CODIE into his pocket, and backing into a corner. A purple glow emanated from his hands and spread all over his body before it faded away, leaving him completely invisible. Part of him wanted to just run out the door, but he couldn't risk the chance that the Puppetmaster would see him leaving the "forbidden room" through the security cameras.
A second later, someone pushed open the secret entrance from the passageway and stepped in

Violent Delights
"You just have to press that section of the wall over there by the sink, and then you can enter the passageway," CODIE murmured.
Seto felt tentatively against the wall, unsure if he was doing it right. "You mean here?"
"Yeah, there!"
Seto pressed harder until he felt a section of the wall give way and swing backward like a door, revealing a stone hallway that was lit up by torches.
CODIE's face disappeared behind an image of a map that seemed to be an outline of the first floor. A purple dot popped up at t
