death games open-ended puzzles world

This riddle-filled story revolves around bizarre individuals trapped inside a city where death is their daily bread. Struggling to survive in it, they learn that the people closest to them might not be who they seemed, and that the city's deep, dark secrets are held by a select few who operate the city behind the scenes. Unfortunately for them, "The Big Ten", for a lack of any official name, would never give the secrets of the city so easily, and, well, these people happen to REALLY love games. Especially ones involving people's lives.

Will they survive the deadly games of the city? Will they manage to get out?

Will they fail the challenges and die?

Or even worse, will they fall prey to the madness running rampant in the city?

Find out what happens in the City of Games, and see if you can survive being a resident yourself!

Forever Fighting | ✔️ | [previously Espionage: double-cross] by WinterWillow901

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. [previously known as Espionage: double-cross] Thanks for reading :)

It only made her fall more in love with his introverted character. What happens when she finds out his other name? Everyone talks about this killer "Murky" but no one knows who he is, that's what makes it more mysterious. He got his name from the dark and gruesome murders he's done. The people that know him noticed how he walks around not talking to anyone looking mean and depressed. He's not understood. It's like all you have to do is talk to him in a regular conversation. He only speaks when spoken to but is very discreet and no one can explain his personality because he's so questionable and strange. There are only a few who really knows the true him. Mahani doesn't like this assassin named Murky. She thinks he killed her brother. She didn't know why her brother ended up dead but she do know someone had killed him.
