He was alone.
Ruhiel was sitting cramped in the back corner of a ruined complex, the sunrise poking through the holes in the ceiling, producing an interesting artistic effect in the room. It was one of the few things he had noticed lately, considering he had just reactivated himself.
"Nngh."
That was his favorite word after just "waking up." Ruhiel just wasn't a morning person. He could go without ever sleeping, he knew that, but then again, who in their right mind would? Besides, it's not like anything interesting ever really happened that early in the morning.
"Rise and shine houseguests, it's 6 AM and the sun is starting to peek out! I'm sorry to report that we only had two encounters for the start of the game and nobody has died yet! But, on the plus side, ratings are at all time high!
I have some announcements. The first announcement is that I will be placing the very first Easter Egg weapon down. At exactly noon today, a sniper rifle will be teleported onto the largest rock on E-8. Until then, E-8 is a danger zone, effective immediately.
Now, for the danger zones set to active at noon:
C-7
E-10
F-2
F-10
G-9
H-2
That's it warriors! Do me proud, and happy killing!"
Ruhiel looked up groggily, looking around at the location he had spent the night at. In hindsight, it had been a poor decision on his part. Staying in one location was asking to be snuck up on, especially if you had decided to sleep away the first six hours. Ruhiel sighed, and pulled himself to his feet. He needed to move, to do something. He had his job to do now, and sleeping wasn't really getting him any closer to completion.
The assassin reached into his back pocket, finding the weapon that had been given to him upon the start of the competition. He pulled it out, flipping it around in his hand and looking at it. It wasn't his weapon of choice, but it would provide him with a little extra bit of versatility, something he knew was absolutely vital in combat situations.
Finally, the daze of sleepiness slipped off of the machine's mind.
"Sniper rifle?" Ruhiel spoke aloud, his eyes slightly wider.
His mind started racing. He wanted that weapon. It would provide him with that extra bit of capability and range he wouldn't have otherwise. He wanted that unfair advantage. Unfair advantages meant you usually won. Because if you ever find yourself in a fair fight, you didn't plan ahead properly.
But there was a nagging problem in the back of his mind. Everyone on the island must have heard the announcement. And he was sure that they would likely be heading for it as well. While he was confident in his capabilities, he knew that if there were simply too many enemies in one location, he wouldn't be able to deal with all of them. And he wasn't about to risk a pointless injury this early on. However, if he played his cards correctly, he had the chance of taking out several of his targets in one fell swoop, and making his job that much easier.
"I need to stop obsessively planning ahead so much." Ruhiel muttered to himself, breaking off his train of thought. "Right now the best thing I can do is stay vigilant, and play things by ear. Spending all my time thinking is going to get me shot."
A wave of dust kicked up across the dilapidated floor of the building, blasting out in all directions from the android. With a light jump, Ruhiel exploded through the ceiling of the building, and landing upon the roof. He stood still for a moment, trying to maintain the dramatic effect. He failed.
"Fuck... that hurt." Ruhiel groaned, rubbing his head furiously from having just blasted through the roof face-first.
After properly nursing his boo-boo with the necessary amount of rubbing and swearing, Ruhiel scanned his surroundings. Pulling out his map, he began to plan his next move. It was time to take action and truly enter the game. It was time for him to do his job. It was time to move.
Leaping off of the roof, Ruhiel began walking, quietly and calmly, towards his goal.
He was alone, and that was just the way he liked it.
