Every year the presidents of all our countries gather the smartest, sharpest, most cunning and clever 16 year olds they can find to compete.
The students race. They race to the the core. The core is in the middle of a program so complex and so dangerous that it cannot be controlled. It originally was something good. But grew into a virus, it created itself.
So, every year the few chosen students hack and race their way into the core. After you reach the core you need to get out of it. You need to reach the T.O.P. Though the path is so hard and complex majority of the kids who go in don't come out.
What is the purpose of this? No one knows.
Although, we do know those who can get through receive riches beyond their wildest dreams. This has basically become like the olympics. People take teams and watch us compete.
Will best friends become enemies? Fall in love? Anything can happen when your trying to reach the TOP.

These Alien Dragons (version 1.0)
(Note: This is the old version. It is preferable if you read the current/new version.) For all their life, J. Pappas has been a reader and a writer. They have written about many things - cats, owls, humans, and dragons; they've read stories about distant futures, fantastic worlds, and epic adventures. But now a new genre of literature has arisen - "woke" literature. This type of literature has erased the memories of those old stories that J. and past generation loved to read, infecting those who read it with ideologies than wonder. And worse, the next generation is being exposed to its horrors. J. had to do something to combat this. And so, they wrote and wrote and wrote. Story after story after story. Many weren't working, but one stayed in their head. This is that story - a distant planet that mimics our times, but it not ruled by humans. It is ruled by dragons, and humans are the aliens of that planet.Complete
