         “ A good act does not wash out the bad, nor a bad act the good. Each should have its own reward.”

The more violently the iron bars shook, the more cracks appeared in the ceiling. If they couldn't get out of here, they would become a hearty meal for the bloodthirsty beasts. The iron bars on the side of the 4th wall suddenly collapsed. Although they were still staggered from being injected with anesthetic, they didn't wait for another second but rushed out like bees breaking a nest. They discovered that this was a large island, and one of them was trying to jump into the sea and swim to the boat in the distance. In an hour, the blue sea turned red. They watched in amazement as the girl slowly sank into the deep sea until more bullets grazed them. 

While desperately searching for a way to live, they got lost in a labyrinth in the middle of the forest. Only 8 people remained: two girls, three young men, a thug, and a successful businessman. The girl who almost fell prey to the tiger, named Alula, cried out: “I don't understand, I was invited here to  investigate the death of my best friend--but what just happened in front of my eyes?? ". As soon as they heard it, the rest of them were startled, because the reason she was invited here was different from them. However, there is a strong connection between them.

“I am Robert Langdon, please gather and explore this maze together.”

Alula looked around, but the people present didn't want to answer her question. On the contrary, they all looked at her with such strange eyes that she realized that no one wanted to be together, but she had to get out of this crazy maze by herself at all costs. After all, everyone wondered, they also understood the reason, although it was different, it was closely linked. People do not have time to hesitate, for all mysteries are waiting for them ahead to be solved. The darkness and cold air surrounded the group of people who did not know where their fate would be. Until they reached the first room. 

ROOM 1: The room is designed as a miniature forest: luxuriant trees, in the center, is a large lake. Above the ceiling is a teardrop-shaped emblem, with cracks in it. Time: 30 minutes. Robert: "Okay guys, we need 13 puzzle pieces. And maybe they're under this immediate lake". The shy guy was forced to dive into the lake to look for clues. When climbing, timidly said: "There are about 25 code-locked boxes at the bottom of the lake." Loki: "So the remaining boxes could be traps". Robert: "Now we will divide into 6 people to get the boxes, the remaining 2 people will search for clues around". When the cameo tried to hug a box and swam up to the shore, suddenly he exploded. Alula let out a loud scream and the people in the water immediately let go of the box in hands and went ashore. Robert suffered a shrapnel wound to his arm,  a quite big but not too serious wound. Alula and Pandora leaned on each other, sobbed, and asked, "What happened just now?" Robert: "The boxes will explode when we try to bring them ashore. Did any of you find out anything useful?" Galvin: "On my box, there is a puzzle: What belongs only to you but it’s used more by others than by yourself?" Frank: "They want us to solve the puzzle and then dive in and open the box to get the puzzle piece? F*ck these crazy people." Galvin" It's not that simple, you forgot the number of boxes is more than the number of pieces. Robert: "Just dive into the lake, then try to open each box and avoid the pitfalls. That's it".

While everyone was thinking and preparing, Robert pulled Hermes aside. Robert: "Hey my friend, my arm is injured. Can you go into the water and see what the clue puzzle is?" Hermes: "Okay…Okay". There were a few people watching where they were, and when Hermes came to the lake and prepared to dive, everyone jumped down one by one. Robert seemed to have injured his arm so badly that he had to ask Hermes to help him.

Time left 5': After dodging and getting injured by a few boxes with traps, they have only gathered 5 puzzle pieces. And time did not allow, so everyone decided not to carefully solve each box anymore because they didn't want to know what they would have to face if they failed in this first round. Moments later, Pandora swam up and brought the 6th puzzle piece, and the rest of them were also trying to find the last pieces of the symbol. Suddenly there was a deafening sound, cracks as well as very huge and deep holes appeared on the ground. Everyone realized time was up, they failed in the first round, what will be their punishment? Will they still be alive? These were the questions of players at that moment. 

When each person opened their eyes, they found themselves lying fixed in a dark and extremely quiet separate space. Suddenly, they felt the water falling on a highly sensitive part of their body. They didn't know how much time had passed in this still space, now the drop only focused on the forehead area. This thing makes people crazy. Hermes suddenly saw fragments of his guilty memories of his past. He felt like he was back in that day, the scene was clearly replaying in front of his eyes. The day that Vivian the girl who he loved so much and felt guilty about was raped by those bastards when he was there. At that time, he was just a cowardly rat that could only hide in the corner, even though he heard the cry of the angel in his heart.  When he made up his mind even though he had no evidence to catch those bastards. In this crazy situation, she appeared in front of him full of resentment and hatred for knowing the truth. Hermes' tears of guilt couldn't stop, his mouth mumbling: "Forgive me, Vivian."

Can't know how long it's been, but suddenly, some strange images appeared in Alula's head. She remembered that she had never had memories of that boy whose face filled with pain and hatred scolded her and the funeral images, filling her heart with guilt, misery but for some reasons, those emotions appeared again. The others weren't better, they looked like they were going through some terrible nightmare. There were people whose faces were full of fear, guilt and always wanted someone to forgive them, but these were whose faces were only slightly depressed and worried.

After everyone felt like they were going to go crazy and kill themselves, suddenly they found themselves waking up in a dark street. 

ROOM 2: Time: 20' calculated by a giant hourglass placed under one of the statue's feet. When they stepped out of the darkness, what appeared before them was a Roman arena.

Even though it had only been the first round, the players already had multiple injuries and the disintegrating, somewhat glazed eyes of Hermes and Galvin revealed that they had just been through something terrifying that greatly affected them. After calming down and observing the space in front of him, Robert spoke up to calm everyone down: “Hey, is everyone okay? We need to stay awake to put an end to this madness.”Alula: "There's no way out here, how can we get out?" Loki: "Oh, do you think they created such a place and would leave the door open for us to escape?" Alula: “I… I just said what I saw.”

Then she took a few steps back, accidentally bumping into the wall behind, suddenly a rumbling sound was heard, the players were pulled away by an invisible force. By the time they opened their eyes, they were right in the middle of the field, opposite them was a statue of a large creature with some resemblance to a rooster, radiating more and more brilliant light like the sun, making The temperature in space increase rapidly. Everyone was confused and didn't understand what was happening, when the wooden puppets in the stands began to burn because of the heat in the room, causing them to take off their clothes until they felt better. Frank: "Do these crazy people want us to die, hey businessman, can you think of a way out?" (voice is urgent and slightly trembling) Because this scene reminded him of something that had been buried deep in his memory. Robert: "Everyone, calm down and look around." Galvin: "We should find a quick way out." Everyone wondered why he said that when suddenly Loki said: "The rocks under our feet are cracking." Pandora: "There are stones that don't crack, let's jump over them." As soon as they split up to jump on the intact rocks, the whole arena collapsed into the abyss below, only a few standing stork stones remained. On the stage to their left, among the burning puppets, three stone platforms were revealed. Galvin: "Those 3 stone platforms might be the way out for us in this round." Suddenly, Hermes said in a panic: "The rocks under our feet are slowly heating up, we must hurry."
