The Walls(Crossover Edition)

An Idea Worth Hearing

For several years, there has always been duels. Today, they come in the form of games and sports. Chess, board games, football, basketball, baseball, hockey and video games are all used for entertainment and duels. And video games can recreate duels based on what they used to be like, when they were once viewed by people of then as awesome, but by people of today as disgusting.

Back in the days of nations like the Roman Empire, people would always fight each other to the death as means of entertaining the masses. Blood would be spilt as players were slaughtered, impressing the Roman leaders and populations. The idea of people fighting each other to the death to entertain masses has been used many times by authors, game creators, and filmmakers.

In the late 2000s and early 2010s, Suzanne Collins wrote a series of novels inspired by the Roman Empire, called "The Hunger Games".

Most of you already know what the novels and adaptations are about. But to oversimplify it for noobs, after most of the world got flooded and devastated, North America lost the Baja Peninsula, and maybe Florida. The remnants of the continent became Panem, and its capitol in the Rocky Mountains exerted control over the 13 districts.

District 13 led a rebellion the capitol would crush. The capitol would spare 13 on the conditions that it would secede from Panem and hide itself from the capitol and the other 12 districts underground. As for the remaining districts, the capitol made them pay the price, by ensuring an annual tournament called the Hunger Games, where each year, each of the 12 districts shall send one man and woman between 12-18 years to fight each other to the death.

The concept of fighting to the death, again, is nothing new. And there were people planning to create a reality show about it.

The idea for a recreation of real-life games and tournaments where people fight each other to the death is seen as extremely abhorrent, but there are humans out there who admire violence. And like I was told by someone, man is man. Of course, what I want to do for this case is come up with an idea that mixes several franchises and aspects of ancient history. The following chapters will come in good time.
