Chapter 1: The Weak Eventually Dies

[Current Date: Aug,4,2024]

It was another day in school. I woke up late playing video games all night. I hurried to school but didn't make it in time for our first subject, science. My teacher saw me enter the classroom as my chair was near the back door. I sat down as she continued teaching the lesson. She didn't care, as she was teaching just for the money. Everyone in the classroom knows that because we are one of the 3rd world countries, these countries are defined by high poverty rates, a lack of resources, and unstable financial standing, making everyone just want to leave the country.

The class finished as she leaves the room we greet our goodbye and sat back again to wait for the next subject as we wait for the next teacher I noticed some changes in our room it looked like the school finally putted on some fire sprinklers, must be due to the increase of fires in other schools around the country.

As I look back to my bag I heard the alarms suddenly ring and the speakers turn on "students will be chosen randomly and will be sent to a certain place." with everyone startled and confused smoke suddenly comes coming out of the fire sprinklers, what's this? is there a fire? as i try to run and grab the door I slowly lost consciousness falling in to the ground seeing my classmates also fall one by one.

Then I was suddenly woken up by the sound of explosion with my head hurting I tried to stand up and look around I was in a office in the 7th floor of a building I took a peak in the window and saw a city that seemed familiar to me I wasn't able to remember it but I know this is a city in our country, looking around I saw a bag it was a backpack I opened it and saw a note at the top "Students all over the country have been brought here to compete. Do your best to adapt and survive. food and other necessities can be found throughout the city, when the right time comes everyone who survived will receive a reward, however if you try to escape the borders set up around the city you will receive the punishment death to you and your family, again this is a test from the government do your best to stay alive." still not being able to process all the things I read in that note I heard the door open standing there was Nathan, one of my friends in school he was carrying the same bag and a sniper at hand, "why do you have something like that" I asked still not being able to process everything, he replied "ill tell you everything later lets get out of this place first".
