[center][i][b]The roll of the die determines your fate.
The toss of the hand sets your path.
You're told you have complete control.
You're told your choice is yours alone.
Still, oh still, the strings are pulled.
Still, oh still, a plot is writ.
Just a puppet.
Just a pawn.
An avatar in a deadly game.
Just one chance.
No respawn.
Win and live.
Or lose and fall...[/b][/i]

[color=7ea7d8][i]"Sometimes the cast is high, and sometimes the cast is low. We need only to hope for the best, and prepare for the worst, because we never know what may be waiting just around the bend. Such is the cast of the dice, after all. So watch your back, my friends, and be careful where you let your feet lead you, for you never know when [b]you[/b] may be faced with the dreaded final roll. Until next time, may luck be on your side." ─ The Game Master[/i][/color]

At the first appearance of the popular game show nearly five years ago, people had been amazed with what were assumed to be ground-breaking special effects, and marveled as they watched the first contestant battle all kinds of odds, through elaborately designed dungeons, all in the name of survival against the forces of fate, and the simple roll of an ordinary die.

Of course, at the beginning, no one had thought that the danger...could actually be real.

No one had thought that the contestant of the show...could actually die...

But with the final episode of that first run, watching as an innocent person was ruthlessly torn apart by vicious hounds, and hearing the narrator's─[i]The Game Master's[/i]─ending words, it became very clear to many that the show was a lot more serious than they had originally assumed...

Still, many cling to the reassuring thought that it really is all just a game, and stubbornly ignore the people going missing with each new loss of the players who fail to make it to the end and claim their way to freedom.

Now as yet another anniversary of the show's premiere has arrived, and with the recent demise of yet another poor soul, the Game Master has announced a special surprise to be revealed in celebration of the "exciting" event.

Only time can tell what horror awaits...
And only time can tell who falls victim to the next roll of the Game Master's die...
