  He thought now that perhaps the game was over, with the mystical letter in his hands it read:

  Attention attaining arguments agonized about alarming ailments applied auspicious assuredness around. (There is a public debate going on about 'ailments' which is gathering a lot of attention)

  You might be reading a stolen copy. Visit Royal Road for the authentic version.

  Barring bright blistering burlesque balancing business, banter, bodies bewitched breathed buzz. (The debate is explicitely provocative and designed as much as a show as it is an actual argument)

  Counting counters can’t calculate course, correcting claims cancelling conclusions continuing controlled cogitation carried calling coins, charming chance champions. (People are gambling on the results of the debate and by extension there is a formal system in place of ranking these arguments.)

  Denominated deliberately doomed disputant’s defeat, dancing discussions drew devotees. (As the debates proceed ,more people get knocked out the competition and the onlookers are getting more excited)

  Echoes egressed exploring estates enticing ears eloquent effort; everyone enlarged, ensnared eggheads erasing escape. (Only the smartest (eggheads) people are left in the debate, and only the smartest (eggheads) people are understanding what in the hell is being talked about. Regardless everyone is hooked for how this will conclude.)

  Foes’ franticly falsifying fact fortunately failed forcing finish. (Some of the debaters were lying about their facts but they got caught and were knocked out the competition)

  Growing grades generated guarded golds' gravitation, granting gamers great glory. (As we get closer to the end and fewer people are left in the competition, the gambling pots get bigger.)

  Honest heretics hemmed hawed, hearts harmed, hours hewed hailing halt hereinafter honor heralds. (Devil's advocate and controversial takes abound. the competition goes on for hours.)

  Idiots increased indemnity; Idol’s idea invade intuition imbibing infamy. (Some people messed up their arguments badly and got ridiculed for it. Others come up with such ingenious ideas they are becoming 'infamous'.)

  Jester jabbers joyfully jailing joiners. (The really smart people are making fun (jest) of anyone trying to join in and shoot their shot at this stage.)

  Kae kea karma khat kep kef. (Ok, look making a sentence entirely out of Ks is really hard? Kae: a bird, Kea: parrot, Khat: a type of weed (the fun kind), Kep: to intercept, Kef:a state of dreamy tranquility (often in regards to being high) leading to the final sentence that reads birds (known for their singing) are parroting karma, and karma similarly brings highs and lows like good and bad trips. This is definitely the weakest sentence but come on! Its K, I tried)

  Losers longing learnt lessons leaving leader lavished. (Losers in the competition at least learned something from the experience and the winners are getting lavished in praise and money)

  Monetized minds, mocking masters married monstrous mistrust, moreover mild madness misinterpreted marvelous man’s muddled mention. (winners getting paid for their smart word play, Winners making fun of losers who used mistrust/blindly questioning every argument as a crutch for their arguments, and some people in this compettition were just using big complex words to seem smarter than they actually were... wait, why are you looking at me?)

  None noticed neglecting notable noble nearly numb; numen narrowed now nestled nicely. (The pink rhombus arrived but no one noticed as they are all looking at the competition winner. The Winner however has noticed it.)

  Orienting objects oscillated onwards; overtly open options omitted outbreak. (Alliterative version of the shift and transform, shrink and grow, section of the pink rhombus showing up. which btw is

  A creature moving in from higher dimensions.

  Parents protected panicked pupils; philosophers perplexed; petrified player pondered. (People have now noticed the pink rhombus, parents are protecting their kids, even smartest people in the room don't know what they're looking at, the winner of the competition is starting to clue in that he might be getting his invitation to the Tournament.)

  Queer qualm quelled: quitch! ( The strange uneasiness makes way for excitement as the winner realizes what is happening.)

  Rim reeled reaching roused rex retaining regal rag. (the pink rhombus hands over the invitation.)

  Shallow shots shared. (everyone looking at each other like, you seeing this sh**?)

  Terrified, triceps tardily took token. (The winner grabs the invitation)

  Unbelievable undertaking. (getting an invitation to THE Tournament is a big deal)

  Valor vented vice. (the winner feels that this has justified his vices.)

  Worry wholly wasted. (All of those worries about said vices were all wasted then.)

  Xylotomize (Xylotomy is a form of microscopic examination, particularly in regards to section of woods. This ties in to the tree & flower theme this story has but in terms of its use in this poem its more focused on examination).

  Your

  Zenith. (Xylotomize your zenith: Examine what made you great, how you got here, and in particular for our protagonist, reflect on the vices required to get here. The vice thing obviously being set up for more character development and reveals when you get to properly meet him.)

  Were not done yet. You may have noticed there are some bold letters. Taking them all you have an extra sentence.

  Attention bewitched champions. Doomed effort failed guarded hearts, imbibing jesters karma. Leaving (any of the bold Ms fit here: Monetized/mocking/married/monstrous/misinterpreted/marvelous/muddled) noble overtly petrified. Queer Rex shared undertaking vice. Wholly xylotomize your Zenith.

  This translation leads to. Our protagonist created this competition because he loves the attention. Ultimately it fails to fill the void in his heart and he forever suffers his own karma leaving this noble forever stagnant in his life. He is not alone in his vices. He should really examine what made him so great and if it was worth it.

  And that's it! The Game is a weird character and has really powerful reality warping powers. I thought his chapters needed to reflect his heady style and love for games so here is a debate competition where its citizens are forced to play in alliteration, the implication being that this chapter is also his outspoken commentary of the competition as he himself partakes in it.

  some games are lost,

  and some games are just played.
