Phase5

Amongst the many students of Albrecht University, those who best their peers and rise to the top of their craft are rewarded generously, reaching fame and fortune through the honor and influence Albrecht holds over the nation through their recognition at the yearly nomination ceremony. Yet, more important to the student body is the secretive yearly top percent party hosted by an unknown society acting within the university's walls. Of course, the party is exclusive to the best of the best, remaining as nothing more than hearsay amongst the student body. It's only when the invitations begin to roll out that excitement grows-the best of the best, all in one location. The party isn't what it seems as the best of the best soon find themselves in a seemingly abandoned campus, forced to face each other in a five-round death game run by a strange pair of sadistic clowns. Of course, there's a catch. Only one person can emerge victorious each round while the rest, if lucky, are left to continue fighting.

[A death-game novel inspired by Squid Game, Danganronpa, and Alice in Borderland.]
