Imagine a world that if you can't live your life through perfection, you will be, exterminated. Well, this is the world where I live. It's called Bullrock.
In 1958, a massive uprising occurred trying to punish the higher class for living in great wealth while the rest suffered on the streets. They were sick and tired of the wealthy spending money with no care in the world while they didn't have enough to have a roof over their head. So they destroyed the rich homes and burned markets to the ground trying to remove the rich life for good. After 3 days of the endless terror, everyone who had taken part in the conflict was either killed or had committed suicide. This day was later referred to as the 'mistake' as those who took part were dubbed 'Imperfect'.
Ever since the 'mistake', a high standing society started a tradition. For every year. Children from years 3, 5, 7, 9, and 11 were taken away to the idol to make sure they were perfect and wouldn't become an 'imperfect'. They believe if the got rid of the mistakes at a young age then only the perfect people would live to grow old as they were the only people who deserved to live.
When the harvest for the children would begin, they were dragged from homes, schools, even straight from the street, just to take place in this bi-annual massacre. They took them to the capital of Bullrock, Enlanda, for a week to complete in 3 challenges to make sure they could live their life through perfection. The first day to set up the idol, the second fourth and sixth day for training and preparation and the third, fifth and seventh day for the 3 challenges
Those who prove themselves perfect will be sent home, while the failures will be killed. Each year these challenges get harder and harder. They say, "it is to ensure perfection is met and nothing less.", but many suspects otherwise. When the seventh day ends. The remaining children will be sent home, scarred from the tragedy they faced. The outside world never speaks of the earthly hell as for many, it is a reminder of all the souls lost at the hands of their sin. People brace themselves for the idol to come, another week of hell,
