To leave a mark in the sands of time, one that will ring through history forever.
That is the dream of Lance Griffin, a warrior at the small, tactic-oriented academy of Sunset. For the sixteen year old, the ambition is simple: Become the first person from the American West Coast to win the World Battle Royale, the most prestigious competition for warriors in the world.
Despite the extremely likely chance of death and defeat along the way, Lance is eager to make his dream a reality, choosing to master a rare combat style that utilizes a double bladed sword and training for far more hours than his classes allow. With the support of his best friends since initiation, Evelene and Kai, and the instruction of his squadron leader, Chase, this year seems to finally be the year that Lance will be able to convince the academy leader, Jackson, to let him volunteer.
However, life isn't that easy. Constant clashes with nearby academies continuously keep the ambitious sixteen year old occupied, and when a major threat emerges in the east, Lance and his friends will be thrust into a situation that will change the fate of their region, and possibly the country, forever.

The Exit

He was met with a sea of unfamiliar faces - teenagers, all around his age, scattered across the endless dunes. The blistering sun beat down on them, relentless in its ferocity. As the boy struggled to sit up, he noticed the mix of fear, desperation, and determination etched on the faces around him. Some were huddled in small groups, whispering among themselves, while others wandered aimlessly, searching for something - anything - that could help them survive. The boy's memories were hazy, but one thing was certain: they were trapped. There was no sign of civilization in sight, just an endless expanse of sand and rock. No buildings, no roads, no rescue in sight. Panic began to set in as the boy scrambled to his feet, joining the throngs of teenagers searching for answers. How did they get here? Why were they trapped? And, most pressing of all, how would they survive in this desolate wasteland? As the boy joined the desperate search for survival, he realized that he was not alone in his quest for answers.

The Nest Witch
I died for some ridiculous reason and woke up in another world. In a universe where women who are not nobles are considered worthless objects, I was a peasant woman. In a universe where all witches had already been burned, I was a witch. The most beautiful curse I could find to express myself turned into praise. ✏️ This is not a literary work. It was written just for fun. 🙈 ✏️ The descriptions are weak. 🙉 I'll go back and correct the writing errors once I hit the 100th chapter. ✏️ There are parts where light novels are mocked and parodied. 🙊 ✏️ A casual language has been used. 🦋 ✏️ Oh my God, this story contains 16+ violence and includes scenes of inappropriate behavior. 🐷 ✏️ I hate advertisements. ❗️🚫🚫🚫 ✏️ The main character claims to be an atheist, but she is not; she's just a teenager on a quest for identity, swinging from one place to another. (Thank you, Captain Obvious!) 🕌⛪️🏛⛩🕍 ✏️ The genre is isekai and RPG. 🎡 (In other words, the universe was written with a game logic. If you want to read more works like this, I recommend searching for the tags 'RPG,' 'game elements,' or 'system administration' on a site called novelupdates.) ✅ I'm a fool too. The fool wishes everyone a good show. @all rights reserved @swear it's reserved lol @seriously reserved, watch out lmao![Hacking the Game Didn't Go as Intended [Part One] (Discontinued)](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/362534227-256-k253197.jpg)
