Player Start! (On Hold)

Not even safe in your dreams. The word nightmare doesn't even scrape the surface of this 'dream'.

Every time you close your eyes and lose consciously, it's a battle of life and death against 14 other 'players'. The 'players' don't wake up until the game is over. Or some never wake up again. It really brings the saying 'live today like it's your last' to life.

All your senses are alive. That wee trick of pinching yourself doesn't work. It's almost like it's not a dream. But, your body stays in the real world as friends and family watch on until your death or victory.

Yearly, 14 people die in their sleep. 1 survives. The 'game' varies in length.
Children are prepared for the 'games' because no one knows who the next 15 will be. Unlike the famous Saw movies, none of the 'players' has anything in common.

Authorities have tried to find the mastermind in this charade but to no luck. They've given up hope and just let the 'games' run their course.

A young Japanese woman neglected the training and chose a lazy lifestyle believing she would never be chosen. Luck was against her and she was drawn into the year of 2023's, 'game'. She was lazy and stuck to video games instead of the normal physical training advised by the world government.

Hello! Normally I stick to fandoms, such as anime and music groups, but I wanted to make an original story. I haven't completely left fandoms because this book will have video games included but not heavily. If you don't know these video games it is okay because the story won't be based heavily on them. This story won't be all rainbows and sunshine. It will contain :

*Violence
*Blood and Gory
*Nightmarish settings
*Swear words
*Video game references.

All video game references or ideas go to their original owners.
I use British English, so I use some different terms, words or spellings. If anyone is confused please speak up so I can resolve the confusion.
