Chapter 1: The Staged Encounter

The world saw them as two separate miracles of the self-made elite. Silas and Silly had grown up in the cold, gray halls of an orphanage where they learned a singular truth: money and power were the only shields against a world that wanted them dead. Though they were both psychopaths, unable to feel the warmth of human connection, they shared a silent, calculating bond that spanned years.

They did not act together at first. To erase any trace of their shared past, they infiltrated high society on separate paths, each marrying into the wealthiest and most influential families they could find. Once established, they orchestrated a "chance" meeting through their spouses' business connections. They acted as strangers, introduced by their unsuspecting, "nice" partners, while behind their eyes, they were already calculating the merger of their newfound empires.

To maintain their perfect facade, they needed to avoid the "complication" of biological heirs. Silas, actually infertile, forged hospital records to frame his wife as the one who could not conceive. Silly, wanting to preserve her body and avoid the vulnerability of motherhood, faked her own infertility. They were adored by their partners, who remained entirely oblivious to the two monsters sleeping beside them.

To ensure their secrets remained buried, they bought the very orphanage where they were raised, using the paperwork to erase their true histories and fabricate a new, untraceable story.Their spouses adored them, completely unaware of the manipulation resting beside them every night.

With their images secured, Silas and Silly built something the world would whisper about for generations: an underground empire called S.

was unlike any syndicate or cartel the world had ever known. It operated in absolute anonymity. No ranks. No titles. Hundreds of members—but none knew each other.

Membership was the ultimate luxury. The wealthiest elites—celebrities, CEOs, royalty, politicians—paid hundreds of millions to enter. And once inside, they received what no government, no army, no law could provide:

– Complete protection from legal consequences, Invisible erasure from media scandals, Access to classified global intelligence, Guaranteed reputation cleansing in under 48 hours, Lifetime anonymity.

A member could destroy a corporation, erase a criminal record, or bury a scandal with a single request. S was more than an organization—it was a ghost that rewrote reality.

To the world, S was ranked 8th among global underground forces.

In the shadows? They were Rank 1.

Even the legendary Green—the oldest, most revered underground entity—felt pressure as S grew. But Silas and Silly didn’t just want rank 1. They wanted dominance. To infiltrate Green fully, they needed a way inside its heart: the prestigious EVO Academy, where only the highest-IQ children on Earth were admitted.

Their organization grew until it rivaled the legendary "Green"—the most powerful underground entity in the world. While the Green was publicly known through its schools and hospitals, its inner workings were a mystery. Silas and Silly knew that to fully infiltrate the Green, they needed soldiers who could enter "EVO," the Green's elite academy for high-IQ . Then the game started,Silas stood by the window, his reflection a ghostly outline against the city's emerald glow. When he heard Elena stir in the silk sheets behind him, he didn't turn immediately. He waited. He adjusted his breathing. He summoned the moisture to his eyes, a trick he had mastered at age nine in the Sinarline Orphanage.

“Silas?” Elena’s voice was thick with sleep. She saw his shoulders tremble—a calculated, minute movement. “What’s wrong?”

He turned, his face a mask of fractured composure. “I saw a child today, Elena. At the park. He looked so much like the boy I might have had... if we were whole.”

Elena was out of bed in an instant, her heart breaking for the man she thought she knew. She didn't know that Silas had faked his medical records to frame her for their infertility. She didn't know that his "tears" were nothing more than a chemical reaction he had triggered for effect.

Across the city, in a mansion of glass and steel, Silly was delivering a parallel performance. She sat on the edge of a velvet chaise, her head in her hands, sobbing silently as her billionaire husband knelt before her.

“I feel empty,” she whispered, her voice cracking perfectly. “This house, this wealth... it’s a tomb without a child’s laughter. I can’t bear the silence anymore.”

Both spouses, blinded by their own goodness, reached the same conclusion at the same time: they would adopt. They would find the most brilliant, most "worthy" children to fill the void. They had no idea they were providing the legal cover for a mobilization of human weapons.

While their spouses searched for adoption agencies, Silas and Silly returned to the shadows of Sinarline. They didn't want a "child"; they wanted a successor. They announced a "Scholarship Game"—a chance for the orphans to win a life of luxury and a seat at the prestigious EVO Academy.

Because they had faked their infertility, they turned back to the orphanage they now owned. They didn't want ordinary children; they wanted weapons. They arranged a 7-day "Intense Battle"—a grueling exam involving complex mathematics, puzzles, and mental torture designed to identify the world's most brilliant young minds.

From hundreds of candidates, only a few remained: Nicolas, Markus, and Helen. These children had survived psychological trials that had broken soldiers twice their age. Silas and Silly adopted them, not out of love, but to register them as the elite heirs of their rich circles so they could enroll in EVO.

Markus was placed with Silas’s wife, Elena. Elena, a kind woman, noticed Markus’s coldness and thought he was "just like Silas," hard to read and emotionally distant. Markus, trained for perfection, vowed to be the highest-scoring student in every school. In a rare moment of genuine warmth, Elena told him she didn't care about scores; she just wanted him to be happy. Markus, confused by this lack of pressure, found himself admitting that he actually liked learning. After he went to his room he sat on his bed staring at the celling rembering the intense battle he faced before being adopted..

While the children began their infiltration of EVO, Silas and Silly sat in the shadows of their empire. Their own organization sat at Rank 1 in secret, but to the world, they were just rank 8th. The Green was getting closer, but they were ready.

3 weeks ago......

To infiltrate Green—the global organization that controlled the world through its elite school, EVO—Silas and Silly needed children. But they didn't want heirs; they wanted weapons. They bought the Sinarline Orphanage, erased their own records, and initiated the 7-Day Intense Battle. That’s when marcus,nicols and helen was picked.

That was how Marcus, Nicols, and Helen were ultimately chosen. But their selection wasn't an accident. It began with a cold calculation.

Silas and Silly met in a soundproof basement beneath a generic office building. No spouses. No fake tears. Just two predators reviewing files.

"The Green's entry requirements for EVO are rising," Silly said, sliding three folders across the steel table. "High IQ isn't enough anymore. They want resilience. They want children who can survive a psychological vacuum."

Silas opened the first folder: Marcus. "The quiet one," Silas noted. "He watched the older boys beat him for three days without making a sound. Then, on the fourth night, he dismantled the leader’s bed while he slept so it would collapse. He doesn't fight; he engineers' failure."

Silly tapped the second file: Nicols. "A mathematical prodigy with a terrifying lack of empathy. He doesn't see people; he sees variables. He’ll pass the EVO entrance exams with a perfect score, but we need to ensure he’s loyal to S, not the school."

Finally, they looked at the third photo: Helen.

"She’s the most dangerous," Silly whispered. "Because she looks the most innocent. She’s mastered the same 'mask' we use. The teachers think she’s an angel, but she’s been running a black market for extra rations inside the orphanage for two years."

Silas closed the folders. "Three candidates. One week to break them. If they survive the 7-Day Battle, they aren't orphans anymore. They are our keys to the Green."

The game have 7 stage in every stages the intensity of the battle grew..

Stage 1: The Corridor of Echoes A shifting maze of steel plates. Those who hesitate are sealed away.

Stage 2 ;The Hunger Equation Food boxes labeled with complex math. Share or hoard?

Stage 3 :Sensory Deprivation Solving logic in total darkness.

Stage 4 :The Puppeteer Room Navigating a social battlefield with actors and fake alliances.

Stage 5; Cognitive Overload Logic puzzles solved amidst screaming alarms and flashing lights.

Stage 6; The Betrayal Mirror Choosing to sacrifice or save a partner.

Stage 7: The Emerald Gate A holographic simulation of a collapsing city.

1: The Corridor of Echoes

The iron gates groaned open to a hallway that seemed to stretch into infinity. As the children stepped inside, the architecture itself became an enemy. Steel plates slid with a bone-chilling screech, rearranging the geography every fifteen minutes.

Marcus didn't run. He closed his eyes, tapping a finger against his thigh. He was mapping the rhythm of the machinery, memorizing the interval between the hydraulic sighs. He moved only when the beat changed, navigating the maze like a dancer.

Helen watched the floor. The polished stone caught the faint reflections of the shifting plates before they moved. She wasn't guessing; she was predicting.

Nicols was the shadow. He let the frantic older boys lead the way, watching them hit dead ends and get sealed away. He learned from their screams, slipping through the gaps they missed.

Day 2: The Hunger Equation

By the second day, the scent of fresh bread filled the air, but it was locked behind reinforced glass. To eat, the children had to solve the labels. Solve for C to unlock the 2,000-calorie cache:

Marcus solved the equations for others, but only in exchange for their total obedience. Nicols didn't solve a single one; he stood near the smartest girl in the room, mirrored her body language until she felt safe, then memorized her keystrokes to steal the code. As the weak began to fade, the survivors were pushed into the "Black Box"—a phase designed to strip away the soul and leave only the processor.

Day 3: The Sensory Deprivation Problem

The children were bolted into pods. A blinding screen flashed a multivariable function for exactly three seconds before plunging them into a darkness so thick it felt like liquid.

P(S)

Marcus hummed the numbers to a melody, turning math into music to keep his brain from fracturing. Nicols used his fingernails to scratch the digits into the plastic floor of the pod, feeling the ridges in the dark. Helen slowed her heart rate to forty beats per minute, entering a meditative trance that allowed her to see the equation burned into her retinas.

Day 4 & 5: The Puppeteer and the Pain

The children were thrown into rooms with actors playing "candidates." Nicols excelled here; he realized the strangers were too perfect, their fear too staged. He began to feed them false information, manipulating the manipulators. When Day 5 arrived, the floors began to shake and high-decibel alarms tore through the air. Marcus didn't even flinch. He tore strips of his shirt, stuffed them in his ears, and solved logic puzzles with his eyes shut, proving that his mind was a fortress no chaos could breach.

The final phase was the cruelest. It wasn't about IQ; it was about the absence of a conscience.

Day 6: The Sacrifice

The remaining thirty children were paired with their closest allies. Two buttons sat before them: SAVE or SACRIFICE.

"If you both choose SAVE, you both stay," the speaker lied.

Marcus looked his partner—a boy who had shared his water—in the eye. He smiled gently. "We both press SAVE," Marcus whispered.

The partner pressed SAVE. Marcus, with a face as calm as a winter lake, pressed SACRIFICE. The system recorded his choice. He didn't feel guilt; he felt efficiency.

Day 7: The Emerald Gate

The five survivors stood before a massive holographic table. It was a simulation of a city in total collapse. They were given the controls to every resource: food, defense, and population.

Marcus acted as the General, cold and uncompromising.

Helen managed the panic, using her voice to keep the simulated masses in line.

Nicols found the flaws in the simulation's code, exploiting loopholes to hoard resources for his sector.

The "winners" were led to a grand dining hall. Silas stood at the head of the table, his suit perfectly tailored, his eyes hiding the monster within. Elena stood beside him, her eyes damp with genuine tears of joy.

"Welcome home, Marcus," Silas said, placing a heavy, possessive hand on the boy's shoulder.

They were given silk pajamas, warm beds, and private tutors. They were told they were the luckiest children in the world. They believed they had escaped the orphanage. They didn't realize that they hadn't been adopted—they had been weaponized.
