'' A story about a group of guy lost in mansion and they meet phantom. And she offer 1 wish for 1 guy who do the best in 13 "horror" games (Inspired from Saw but It could be "horny" games instead, haha) ''

“Hey! Wake up!”

I cried out and scrabbled to my hands and knees. I looked up and noticed a large group of men looking around a dilapidated warehouse-like structure.

“What’s your name?”

I looked at who was speaking, it was a young human male, looking at me with an expression of disdain and….maybe a little fear.

“My name? What?”

“Yeah! Who are you?! Did you bring us here? Hey- I’m talking to you-”

“Hey, go easy on him.” Another young male said, sitting a little ways away. “It’s obvious that he wasn’t the one who brought us here.”

The original guy looked back to me and shook his head. “I said, what’s your name?”

“Goran.” I said, rising to my feet. I looked around, noticing bare walls everywhere, and several metal grates on the ground.

The entire room was bare, with lights shining down from enchanted light sources. There was a balcony of a sort about twenty feet up and several doors. A few of the males were trying to reach them, but it was hopeless.

“Goran, huh?” The man said, once I looked back at him. “Are you part of The Order?”

I shook my head, “No. I came from the Southern Nation. City of Tavermire.”

“Hmmm, that’s odd. There are thirteen of us, eight here came from the order, four of us came from the Western Nation, and one from the South.”

“I take it no one else knows what happened and where we are?” I said looking about.

“If you must know-” A loud, confident voice called from the second floor. “You all were captured at the trading capital of The Order Territories. A secret conclave of mamono was stumbled upon, and you all were either at the wrong place at the wrong time, or you were taken because of your bumbling.”

The speaker was a ghostly looking woman dressed in a noblewoman’s finery. She stood at one of the doors that was now opened, flanked by two walking female corpses.

“Mamono!” One of the Order Citizens hissed and took up a fighting stance with the rest of his eight brethren. “You will submit, insect! You will release us now and submit to The Order!”

“Insect, now that is a bold statement indeed.” The woman shouted back. She straightened and addressed the room again. “With so many prisoners, I find myself in a playful mood. We are going to play a little game, and the winner not only gets to go free, but will have their wish granted as my husband!”

“Spare us your lies, insect! I will find a way to get up there and crush you like the filth you are!” The Order soldier cried out amidst the cheers of his fellows.

The woman wagged her finger. “Such revolting manners. Anyway- to accept to play in my little game.” She gestured and the enchanted light sources lowered to our level. “All you need to do is step on these platforms.”

“And what if we don’t?” The man who first questioned me asked.

“Then you will automatically lose.” She said simply. “As far as what that means….I’ll not spoil the details, but you may find it wonderful, you may find it horrible...it just depends.”

“Lads, don’t do it!” The Order soldier said.

I stepped on top of the light fixture which was a flat metal oval shaped disk. I noticed everyone else but The Order soldiers did so, and the fixtures started to rise back to the ceiling again.

“We shall find a way out of this, you pest!” The Order soldier yelled. He looked right into my eyes, and vision seemed to ripple and twist.. “And we will also deal with you!” He added, pointing at me, then the rest. “The whole lot of you!”

“I think not.” The Woman said in a bored voice. She brought her lands up and made a few gestures.

Suddenly with a jangling of metal and the sound of clattering...almost like the sound of leaves being blown across stone the metal grates on the ground were shaking and warping…. Almost like something was trying to get out….oh no!

“What more fitting a punishment than having your essence being eaten alive by the very insult you hurl so carelessly, so I am an insect good ser knight? Allow me to send my sisters to nibble on your flesh, and give you peace from your rage!”

In a state of shock I watched as giant bug-like creatures burst from the grates and headed straight for the men.

All but four tried to run, but they were quickly overwhelmed and started to scream as I saw the creatures grasp, and then start to bite them. They struggled to keep the scrabbling insects away, punching, kicking, screaming- but it was no use. Their clothes were torn from their bodies and I saw them being torn into, and torn apart by the fetid things.

The four that held their ground were completely surrounded. They kept their backs to each other, but it didn’t matter….the insects crawled on top of each other and started to fall like rain on the remaining four, muffling their screams amidst their bodies and the frenzied motions.

The gruesome scene was cut short as the light fixtures neared spaced in the ceiling that we were brought into an identical room as the first.

I looked and saw an enormous plank on a fulcrum that had two ominous gigantic sealed barrels on it…..but the raised end of the pank seemed to go directly to the balcony. I was about to climb the plank when the woman called out.

“Eight down, five left to go.” The woman called out from the balcony above us..

“That was uncalled for!” I cried out, looking directly into the pale woman’s eyes. “You got The Order Agents! Let the rest of us go!”

The woman tsked her tongue and shook her head while wagging her finger. “Dear sir, those Order Knights would have done worse to me, and my own! And how do I know if none of you, or if all of you are covert agents? Don’t weep for them, besides, who wouldn’t want to be married to cute little buggies like those ladies down there?”

“You’re mad! You’re insane! Maybe The Order is right about you mamono! That you would see us all eliminated for your own personal benefit!”

The humorous air the woman had disappeared and her face grew stern. “Eliminated for personal benefit, you say? Would humans not do the same?”

“You bet they wouldn’t!” I cried out.

“Then let us test this, shall we?” She snapped her fingers and the light fixtures started to descend.

We all quickly got off, but they continued to descend, allowing the insect creatures to get on them, and started to rise.

“You don’t have a lot of time. You can reach the third level, but it would require two of you to be married to the next lonely, hungry soul. Behold!” She pointed to the two gigantic barrels upon the enormous plank.

The long end of the lever rose to the balcony, but as we ran to get up there, the elevated side sunk to the ground.

“Oh-ho-ho-ho! I forgot to mention!” The woman said, placing her hand to her brow and snapped her fingers.

The siding of both barrels fell away, revealing metal lattice work underneath, and inside each barrel stood a monstrous minotaur.

The four men started talking in their native dialect. They looked at me and I looked down at the rising platforms. “Whatever you’re planning- we don’t have much time!” I called out.

They quickly ran some kind of hand game and immediately it became apparent one of them lost, and the other three grabbed him and started to drag him to the barrels.

“Help! Stop them! Please! Don’t do this!” He screamed at me. I stood, paralyzed by fear as three of the Western men dragged the fourth up the ramp to the top of scaffolding of the barrels and threw him into one. The man screamed and grabbed onto the shirt of one of his fellow countrymen, and pulled him off balance. The other two quickly threw off the fourth, and- in a moment of silent acknowledgement; threw the third into the second barrel.

Both men screamed as the Minators grabbed them, but thankfully the siding magically re-attached, and the barrels were slammed shut with a resounding slam!

But even still- I could hear the muffled screaming as the two men ran ahead of me and onto the balcony.

I heard that same scrabbling of the insect creatures and quickly followed, ready to fight off the treacherous other two men as I reached the balcony and went through the only open door.

Nothing. It was a long dark hallway. I kept going, hearing the excited chitters of the insect behind me and burst through another identical room, but on the ground floor just as the door slammed shut behind me.

“Such vile treachery!” The woman said from the balcony. “Just for that-” She waved her hand and I was suspended in a large bubble above even the balcony. “This next challenge is for only you two!” She crossed her arms and gestured to four open doors in the middle of the room that stood on frames.

“You see these four doors?” She snapped her fingers and the doors all slammed shut. “You each have two to choose from. I have just given you the knowledge of which one holds treasure for your partner’s pair of doors…..the other door holds a vicious tiger. You have two options.If you both reveal the door with the treasure to your partner, you get to split the treasure in half! If one of you betrays the other, and your partner opens the door with the Tiger, you get all the treasure to yourself IF the door you choose has the treasure.”

She waved her hand in a melodramatic gesture. “If your partner lies, and you pick the opposite door and it's the treasure, that person shall get four times as much.”

One man looked to the other. “Listen friend, I know we had to betray those other two- but if we do this right and be honorable to each other, we both can have double the riches behind the door! The she-devil didn’t say that we both could lie, and allow both of us to pick the right door! Do you understand?”

The other thought for a moment and grinned. “I understand my friend! Yes! That is a good idea! We both will come out of this like rich men! The treasure is behind the door on your right!”

“As is yours, my friend!”

Together they both opened the doors, and I flinched as I saw a tiger jump as if from another dimension on top of the two men and started to tear them apart.

“You treacherous fools!” I cried out as I pounded the bubble and felt it rise again to an opulent bedroom.

“And you, the last one remaining. My Dear Goran, I am Danielle.”

“To blazes with you, Danielle! I am sick of your games! Let me go!”

Danielle nodded. “I offer that, or I can also offer you a wish, in return for being my husband!”

I shook  my head. “I would never marry a murderess!”

Danielle gasped and placed her hand to her breast. “Truly? You think I  am a murderess?”

“Are you mad?!? Insane?!?! Eight men eaten alive by insects! Another two eaten by minotaurs, and the last two by tigers?!”

Danielle frowned. “What on earth are you talking about?” She waved her hand and her eyes opened up with a new glean of comprehension. “Ah! The coercion and deceiving magics of The Order are upon you! They casted that spell when you first arrived, how sneaky.”

“What? What are you talking about!?”

“Come with me.” She said, exiting the bedroom without another word.

I felt as though I should run, but I followed all the same.

“What the-”

“Yep, those weren’t exactly tigers, but Jinko’s.” She led the way to the other rooms where I saw the other two men being cuddled by two sleeping minotaurs, and the eight Order Soldiers in the center of a large pile of girls that were only part insects.

“The Order would do something like that? To deceive others? Why?”

Danielle sighed and made a vague gesture with her hand. “How else could they get other nations to side with them, but to have them believe in this deception?” She gave a soft smile, “Come now, Goran. The Western nation and the Mamono Empire are friends! It has been so long since I have met a male with a high moral compass like yours! As I said before, you won this little game of mine, and I would grant you a wish if you would be my husband!”

I was so taken aback by the dispelling of the illusion that I was startled and almost jumped as I felt Danielle snuggle close to my arm.

“A wish?”

Danielle nodded. “Mmmmhmmm!” I noticed her eyes beginning to glow a soft pink color, and felt my lips curving into a smile that matched her own.

I leaned forward, whispering my wish in her ear. She gasped and gave me a coy grin. “Very well, come with me….your wish is my command!”
