As in the game where you make someone look at your hand and then smack them in the arm.
No one actually knows who the original creator of "The Circle Game" really is, since it dates back before the 1950s.
It's also more than likely that this game does not have one single creator, like the wheel or paper or anxiety. That's the fun thing about these folkloric things, they just kind of appear out of nowhere and then exist forever.

TW- SENSITIVE CONTENT The fun, yet annoying, thing about psychology is that you can choose what to believe and there will be a whole disorder dedicated to just that. Living as a human in a city controlled by vampires is not easy. There used to be other supernatural beings in the city, but then 1899 happened. Now vampires control the city. The Council is no longer able to regulate Seoul, humans are not allowed to leave Seoul, no one can go against the six merciless vampires that rule and control the city. As if that wasn't bad enough, all supernatural beings had soulmates. What's the probability that Jungkook, a normal 20 year old human, was mated to the six rulers? Do the vampires become soft for their mate, or do they end up accidentally killing their mate due to their blood drive? Status: CompletedComplete
In 24 Hours: A Tale Of Avarice
Ever sneezed and felt like your soul was just about to leave your body? Well, Marcus never imagined such an absurd thing could happen to him either, because it literally did. **** One minute he was at a house party, the next he found himself sneezing so bad, he could swear he felt his soul leave his body. Or did it? All Marcus Velasco knew was that he found himself in a weird reality with the last person he expected to see at the moment. What was more, there was a twenty-four-hour timer embedded at the back of his wrist with a quest to find his way back home within that span of time. It was either that, or his heart would stop if he didn't meet the requirements before the time was up. He was faced with two choices, and whichever one he made would cost him the other. Would Marcus make it back in time? Or risk losing his soul forever in a dream fatale. That in the first place, was if Marcus could realize what home truly meant before it was too late.

You have decided to let Anti go. Interesting... Dont worry, if you want to change your mind after reading the description, you can.

But if you are fully convinced that this is the only way to go, then by all means, go forth on your journey. You let him go. And you start to regret it. You realize that you still love him. But at the same time, you have become very aware of your surroundings, checking your computer for any unnatural signs, looking behind your back as you walk down the street, and lock your bedroom door before you sleep. You feel Anti there watching you. It's quite annoying, but you cant help but get chills every time you think about what Anti said to you. "I not finished with you yet." What does he plan to do to you? Or a better question: what does HE plan to do with you? Turns out you just might be more valuable that you were said to be SAME WARNINGS GO FOR THIS BOOK ⚠️WARNING ⚠️ Contains strong language, blood, violence, ❌possible trigger warnings❌ And not-so-smut (yes its a thing because I invented it.

Arnesto Modesto: The World's Most Ineffectual Time Traveler
This story is a full-length novel on Amazon (and elsewhere) and is currently (12/12/2018) a #1 best-seller in Time Travel Fiction in Australia. Though I'm unlikely to make big changes at this point, comments are always welcome and typos almost certainly squashed. Now the REAL description: What if you could go back and do it all over again? By sending his memories back in time, Arnesto Modesto gives himself a do-over. Of course, his much younger self may not be prepared to handle all that foreknowledge... Encouraged by his friend Pete, Arnesto attempts to use his limited recall to do some good - and winds up stumbling through some of the biggest events of the past quarter-century. Take it from Arnesto: Life isn't easier the second time around. (Think Groundhog Day if the main character went much farther back and only got to repeat his life ONCE.) For anyone who has ever wondered, "What if?"Complete
