[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]

Money, fame, freedom, safety, and peace; every mortal has desires they would do almost anything to achieve. Almost anything but die. But, what about those that are willing to die for their desires? Slayers are more than your average mortal. They are stronger, faster...and crazier. They are willing to sacrifice everything in order to achieve what they or their master desires.

The Games is a series of events where hundreds of thousands of slayers come together to kill each other to achieve their desires.

But among these slayers is a young teen named Rokun. He has a simple desire: to obtain his memories, and gain power, a lot of power. So much power that he wouldn't need the help of others. Though, power doesn't come easy. The enemies are vicious, powerful, and most importantly, they are always one step ahead…

Before he can become a slayer to compete in the games, he must endure the hell that the world of reapers brings forth.

… Rokun doesn't give up, not by his own choice; for his body keeps rising up again and again against his own will. Why? To obtain what he wants at the cost of his morals and values.

What to expect:

A dark story.

A slow progression of power where the main characters start off underpowered.

Lots of world-building.

A lot of OP villains later down the series.

Characters with twisted morals, values, and grey moral compasses.

Deaths of established and developed characters.

A lot of mysteries.

Chapter updates from Monday to Friday, excluding Wednesdays.
