Erebos by Urula Polanzski
Significant elements
1 The rules.
2 The Yellow eyed Messenger
The rules add an air of mystery, secret ism, and danger. since you can not show anybody. It also contributes to the plot because the rules are so important to Nick and the other players they will do anything to obey them to keep playing the game. This causes people to be hurt and keep the people who are trying to help and stop the game out. Since you can not tell people nick becomes disconnected from his friends and does not speak to them about it they can't help him. Since nobody will talk about it for fear of being kicked out of the game nothing changes until nick breaks the rules, gets kicked out and realizes what he did. He then goes on to tell the other players about the danger of the game.
The Yellow eyed messenger is significant because he is central to the plot. He tells the players to go out in the real world to do certain tasks which can be both legal or illegal tasks. The messenger is virtual so he can not be charged for the crimes that he tells the player to do. He tells nick to Kill his teacher But he can not do so. He is then booted for not listening and following the rules. That is all the messenger does. He is trying to get closer to accomplishing the goal of killing a real man called Andrew Ortolan.
This is a fairly good post however you should try to convey the significance of these events better by adding in some direct quotations so that the readers of this post can get a better grasp of what you are trying to convey
