One game. 16 Contestants. 1 Winner.
After conquering all of planet Earth, the Xentis empires rules with an iron fist...and a bit of brutal fun.
Once every year, every criminal and outlaw compete in a fight-to-the-death competition watched by the rest of the world. The stakes? Death. The single competitor who survives and wins is named the Vanquisher, given a second chance and trained to fight for the emperor alongside with past years Vanquishers.
Karissa, the kingdom's most notorious assassin, has been on a murderous streak for years now. But on one fateful night, her attempt to take the youngest princess's life fail, and she lands her place in the kingdom's dungeon...and a spot in the anual Games of Death. But ten months in prison haven't dulled her skills and reflexes, weakened her determination to win, or caused her hatred towards the empire to waver. The Games of Death may be a punishment, but Karissa sees it as an opportunity to overthrow the emperor's vicious rule once and for all.
Aina had once been an abused child, a talented actress, and just another member of The Rising Insurgency, a group of rebels. Now, after winning the games two years ago, she's one of the emperor's most trusted Vanquisher. But being the emperor's right hand had lead Aina to realizing that things are not as they seem. She may be part of his elite guards, but that doesn't mean she can't have her own plans for the future of the Xentist empire.
Among the deaths and heat of the Games of Death, unexpected alliance are forged and hope for a new kingdom arises. But salvation doesn't come without a price.

The 136th Hunger Games
When Kira Blackwood's name is reaped, she knows she's screwed. How is she supposed to survive in a fight to death with twenty-three other tributes, all of whom want to get out alive as much as she does? Not to mention, the thought of killing somebody twists her stomach into all sorts of unnatural shapes. Despite secretly training for the Games in the cow pastures surrounding her home, and being pretty handy with a knife, Kira's kind heart may be the thing that holds her back the most. However, as she navigates through the opulent world of the Capitol, and then the arena itself, Kira starts to realize that maybe, just maybe, it's not the dead she should pity, but the Victor. After all, no one ever really wins the Hunger Games. Survives, sure. But wins? Never. ~~+~~ Please Note: This is set in a world where the 2nd Rebellion failed. All usurpers were executed (except those pesky star-crossed lovers, who knows where they ran off to), District 13 was destroyed for good (but District 12 was rebuilt, on the basis that the Capitol realized that it actually really needed coal), and the Hunger Games were reinstated. Disclaimer: I don't own any of the rights to the Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins, or to the Lionsgate adaptation of her books. (Obviously.) All characters of my creation are copyrighted. ~~+~~ Thank you so much for reading this, it really means so much to me!!! :) I hope you enjoy, and love it as much as I do! (Also sorry for the length, I sort have this thing for details... and long, run-on sentences... and long, run-on sentences stuffed with details...) Please note: This story is technically incomplete, bc I still want to write a few more scenes after the Games like the interviews and stuff, maybe of the Victory Tour, but I've marked it as complete bc...school. Ain't no way that I'm finishing this anytime soon. Hopefully I'll get back around to it eventually.Complete

When she bites the dust, her protection from being syred to an Eldritch master will die with her, leaving Erin unprotected. His school is also starting to suspect he might not come from a wealthy background. And, to top it all off, his Eldritch neighbor wants to rape him and torture him to death. Could it get any worse for him? What can Erin do? How far will he go before he breaks down? Can he beat the system? Find out in this story about oppression, desperation, violence, and a pair of crazy girls.

Forever Fighting | ✔️ | [previously Espionage: double-cross]
Guns, revenge and buildings to bomb, what could go wrong? ✮ He came in, gun held out in front of him in one hand while the other was resting on his hip where a sharp dagger gleamed in the light. "Come on out little girl, why not make this easier for both of us. The agency you ran away from just want to have a little talk, that's all." She scoffed internally. Yeah right. Then the footsteps ceased. She peeked to the right, then to the left. Neither direction showed any sign of the intruder. She looked up in front of her and gasped, the glint of steel and smell of death as overwhelming as it was adrenaline inducing, exciting. "Boo." ✮ Murder, accidents, assassinations. Call it what you will, it's all the same, all has the same life breaking, mind shattering consequences - be it for the victim or the bystander. It had shaped Alex in a way no one should be. Broken down and rebuilt into the perfect soldier, one who had the power to change the world, to fight battles that would either make or break the carefully constructed vision we all live in. The only small, minute, really unimportant detail - it's pretty hard to get into a government classified site when you're 15 years old and have a rag-tag team of double-crossing back-stabbers behind you. Not to mention the threat of a world war and ghost hanging above your head. Armed with sarcasm, wit, and a hell of a lot of aggressive intentions, it won't be too long till a sticky situation is all that's ahead of you. Sometimes, running head-first into a situation isn't the best idea. Instead, you gotta play a game. A deadly game where either you have all the pieces on the board, or you have nothing.

I flash my teeth in the best fake smile I can muster. "Zane!! How nice to see you? Long time no see? You've been scarce." He glares at me. "You better watch your back Lyssa before you get into trouble." At my expression he smiles. Hard lines appear on his face as that sick smile spreads even further. "You know what this means don't you?" I sigh and shake my head. "It means that I'll just have to fight myself out of here." I grab my two automatic pistols already loaded and ready to fire. I point one straight at his chest and rest the tip of the other on my left temple.

Killer Magic Academy
You either become brilliant, or you get killed. When Alyssa was invited to a boarding school to learn magic, she was expecting something out of a Harry Potter book. She wasn't expecting to become a master of a power and learn how to survive and fight with it. She wasn't expecting that most of the people in the school would kill the people with too much power. She wasn't expecting to be one of the most powerful students to ever walk the school. Everyone at Aptitude Academy has power within, and everyone in the school will either become brilliant, or be killed by the other students. Alyssa thought she was signing up to learn to help the world, but she has to master her power quickly, before the people who already have mastered their powers come after her. Soon, that becomes the least of her problems. There's a prophecy that everyone seems convinced that it's about her, a fight club that she accidentally signed up for, the dragon that lives in the arena, and the threat that terrifies the entire school. There's only one person who can stop the threat before it's too late - the subject of the prophecy. Unfortunately for Alyssa, no one knows how to stop the threat or what exactly it is. Despite the fact everyone seems to thing the savior is Alyssa, no one knows for sure, and one false attempt will destroy everything Aptitude Academy has ever known. You become brilliant or you get killed, or maybe both. Cover by: @Ari_forevComplete

*Third Book in my Arrows In the Dark Series* "I never loved you." "I hate you! I hate you Catora!" "Why'd you do it? Why did you kill me?" "Catora! Catora please! Don't just leave me here! CATORA!" I screamed so loud my throat became raw. None of this was real, it wasn't real. What were they doing to me! Even after I couldn't scream my mouth was frozen in shock, silent screams emanating from it. The Avox's returned and I was too stunned to even fight them. They threw my limp body back into the cage. I lay there, coughing and crying my eyes out. "It's not real little Miss Girl on Fire, just remember that." Johanna said clearly bored. I didn't listen because it felt real. It had to be real. Peeta didn't love me and Katniss hated me. I killed everyone in my first Hunger Games and I left Rue to die. -x- "You promised to save her!" I screamed slamming my fists against the table. "Her not me! She's your Mockingjay! I'm nobody!" "You're the one that's going to start the rebellion Peeta. You are somebody." "Not without her I'm not."
