Zeno's Game

This creepypasta is made by ADgee. This is the official sequel to Corrupted Memories and the second part of the Zeno's Trilogy, if you want to understand what's going on, go to Corrupted Memories.

"It's not over, it's never over."

He's Back
After so much time, I got a message from him, along with other four people. All of them, and me were confused. We just wanted to play normally. It has been three months since I've met Zeno, and I thought it was over. I still remember all that happened. Bad memories, corrupted memories.

He invited us to a place of his. Nobody trusted it, but we had no choice. Soon we joined in. It appeared as a grey version of the Spawn template. The skybox was completely black, and the "Sun" was a giant red X. Everyone explored for a bit. until he appeared.

"What do you want now?!" I shouted in chat.

"Well, it's time for a little game. It gets boring after all, so sh4ll w3 g3t st4rt3d?" Zeno said. It wasn't a text message, but a voice sounding through the entire game.

It has begun. We appeared with several weapons of different kinds. We had swords, shotguns, and a couple of granades.

Zeno then said: "The task is simple. All you have to do is kill each other to win."

One of the players, called "TheLegendaryAlph", replied: "Wait wha-"

"Why would we kill each other though?" I asked. "Exactly." Another user, going by the name of "Alphaerdi" said.

"You'll see.." Zeno said and vanished. It began.

Round 1
We teleported in another place. We appeared on a floating plate. Below it, spikes and lava. This reminded me of Epic Minigames. I shook my head and pulled out my weapon. I began shooting random enemies that spawned. Everything seemed fine...

Until it happened.

One of my companions got his leg trapped by a zombie, which pulled him into the lava. I heard a sharp scream in real life, but I thought it was my head.

Alphaerdi died.

"One less," I thought. I quickly jumped and shot at the remaining zombies, everyone else was safe though.

B u t  n o t  f  o r l o n g.

Round 2
After the first one died, we appeared in some sort of copy of Zombie Apocalypse. Again, we had weapons, but now they were weaker. Like before, we started shooting at the zombies, now with four people left, including me. Suddenly, a zombie with a pole in their hand appeared, and we began to shoot it as well.

But it wasn't dying. Well, it was, but it just had a lot of health. We tried to back away, but then it impaled another of the players. Again, I heard a scream of pain. I started shaking and sweating. But it wasn't over. It seemed like the player hasn't truly died, but was barely alive.

"Please... help me..." They begged, while being at death's door, but before we could do anything, the zombie tore their head off, and then a more loud scream was heard. I decided to throw a grenade at the zombie, which somehow killed it in one hit. Zeno's laugh, a very distorted version of a male laugh, played all over the place. And then we got teleported again.

Round 3
Three people left, and now it was something completely different. It was something like "Tower of Hell". Zeno appeared, and began talking.

"Alright, time to change things a little bit. Now all you have to do is climb to the top. But beware, because it will start getting flooded with lava."

Once he was done talking, a horn was heard, and the game began. Us remaining three began escalating the tower, and all of us managed to beat half of the tower. But once we got past that point, the lava began rising faster, and the stage began falling apart. Alph and me managed to reach the end, but someone else fell onto the lava. And of course, another scream.

"Oh c'mon, how was that even FAIR?!" Alph complained.

"You two did very well so far, so I'll propose... a last challenge."

And then, without giving any explanation, we got teleported once again. This time, we were ready.

Last Round
We appeared on an emptly plate. It was completely normal, mostly. But then something seemed to crash near us. It was some sort of elevator. No, it wasn't any elevator. It was the one from NowDoTheHarlemShake's game. After that, a single person came out of it. It was Gavin, but it had angry, bloodshot eyes, sharp teeth, and his head was twitching.

"YOU..." Gavin said. I remembered then that moment when my avatar killed him 3 months ago. But this time, it was necessary. I didn't really want to kill him again, but me and Alph had no other option.

"Did you really think I was permanently dead?! I will make sure the one who's truly dead is YOU!" He then pulled out a knife and charged towards both of us. We proceed to dodge, albeit he was very, very fast. After a while, weapons began to spawn. I proceed to quickly take a random gun, as well as a knife. Alph went for the rifle and a katana. The fight then began.

We spent nearly half an hour battling Gavin, clashing and retreating. But then, Gavin ended cutting off Alph's legs, preventing him from moving. He knew his time came, so he dropped and gave me his katana. "Please buddy... finish him for me... For all of us fallen..." Then, Gavin dashed and beheaded Alph. I heard another scream, but it was different. It was a quick scream of pain, followed by a more peaceful sigh. It wasn't even disturbing or scary, it was just... sad. I sighed and then yelled.

"YOU BASTARD!" I then dashed towards him and yanked the katana onto his head, taking away all the HP he had left. He then dropped dead, and the floor... collapsed.

The Aftermath
I kept falling for minutes. Eventually, a whole hour passed by. Part of me wanted to just leave the game. I had already defeated all of Zeno's challenges, I had technically beaten his game. But yet, something kept me from leaving. I felt like there was something else. That someone had to do something to, once and for all, stop Zeno.

And that someone was me. Blocky. I was who first had encountered him, and somehow, I felt like I was who triggered him to cause all of this. After thinking about this for a while, finally my avatar landed somewhere. It wasn't spooky at all, it was just strange. A wooden hallway, completely illuminated by a mesmerazing blue light. It was almost hypnotic, but I decided to move. After some time, I ended up in a forest, with a floating screen and a single button. The screen said "Terminate Zeno".

"Finally... I'll be able to end this!" I yelled. I wasn't really sure if it was true, or it was a hoax, a cruel prank. But I couldn't let myself stay with the doubt, so I pressed the button. The computer then shot down.

The End
After that, I haven't actually heard of Zeno ever since, and I even heard he got his account terminated. On one side, I was incredibly happy to know he was done for, but for the other, I was actually confused that button worked. I decided to go on a vacation to forget what happened, but there was something I couldn't forget. The rest of the players.

Before going, I made a game with statues of their avatars as a memorial and tribute for them. May they rest in peace.
