I was born into a legacy I never asked for. My father built an empire in the shadows. The others inherited names that carry their own kind of power. Politics, intelligence, military, assassins, money. We were raised to inherit what our parents fought for, protected, and destroyed to build. Then we were brought together at the same academy. We thought we were there to study. It's more than that. When the school is taken hostage, we discover that our parents' old conflicts never really ended. They only waited for the next generation to continue them. Every secret buried beneath the academy leads back to our families. Every enemy has a history with our parents. And every one of us is being forced to answer for wars we never started. But the deeper I dig, the more I realize this isn't just about surviving the people who came before us. It's about deciding whether we become their legacy or break it. Because if my life was already written in someone else's code... how do I write my own?

Twenty years ago, the Galactic Federation saved Earth from extinction. In return, humanity gave them its loyalty. Under their guidance, civilization advanced beyond anything we thought possible. New technology. New systems. A stronger world. For most of my life, I believed they were our saviors but I was wrong. My name is Alexa Stanfield. I'm twenty years old, a college student, and one of the people chosen for a purpose the Federation kept hidden from humanity for decades. We were never simply rescued but being prepared. An intergalactic war is spreading across the universe, and the Federation is running out of soldiers. The species they sent before us were destroyed faster than expected. Now, they want humans to take their place. My friends and I were selected because we can resist psychological manipulation better than most, but there's no time for ordinary military training. So, the Federation created something else, Safira, a beautiful moon transformed into a massive survival ground where every trial is designed to push us beyond our limits. There are no exceptions. Not for the young. Not for the old. Not for the innocent. Once you're chosen, you play. And the rules are simple: Adapt, survive, and become useful. My friends and I thought our bond would be enough to carry us through. We were wrong about that, too. Because Safira doesn't just test strength. It tests loyalty, trust, far, and how far someone is willing to go when survival demands a sacrifice. I thought the worst thing waiting for us was the war beyond the stars. I should have been more afraid of the game itself. Because the moment Safira began, I realized something the Federation never told us. Not everyone who enters is meant to leave.
