The story itself started out as an invitation back when I used to type short stories from the prompts that came out 2 or 3 times a week on Auctor. My only motive in repeatedly posting short stories despite the occasional writer's block was to finally come out 1st place and leave the site for good.
Nevertheless, I enjoyed reading the stories of other anonymous writers that had more creativity and literate prowess than what my pea-sized neurons could come up with, plus the feedback was also a delight, either if the critiques were positive or negative.
Some of the writers came as far as posting a chat in place of a story for socializing and improvising interactive stories. That's how ingenious these writers were in terms of creativity.
After 7 months, 44 short stories and two 2nd places on the weekly challenges on Auctor. thought: If I don't win 1st place on the 50th try, I'll leave the app regardless if I win or not.
I wanted to have a part of them as a keepsake and I was inspired by one of the interactive stories and thought of a tournament arc.
A fighting tournament for fun.
I posted the invitation for anyone who was interested and wanted to participate.
I was expecting maybe 2 or 3 writers might be interested at first, then considered that the other writers wouldn't be interested in the invitation. The idea would be dropped and discarded.
Well I was wrong, I wasn't expecting many writers to join in on the endeavor. The idea of a collaborative writing project also got the attention of the developer himself.
Without further ado ladies and gentlemen, the invitation that initiated a journey.
