It had been a thousand years since an asteroid slammed into the Earth, wiping out three quarters of the population and mingling the Underworld with the Living.
And now, a fierce war between Undead and Living broke out. A peace treaty, kept for nine generations, had expired, and the eight major Undead and Living camps were waging war.
History was repeating. Again.
In a desperate attempt to quash the wars, it was decided a deadly tournament would be held to decide on a missionary to send to the camps, to persuade them to sign another treaty and ensure peace. On their return, the missionary would be rewarded with gold and prestige.
There's just one catch- sixteen Undead and Living, would enter the Colosseum, where countless lives were spent. And only one would walk out.
Yes, history is repeating again.
"Ready to die?" she asked.
"Not quite yet," I said.
Can peace found from the ashes?

I thought. I turned to my brother who is two years older me and understands everything, been hearing this tournament for twenty years and still hasn't been chosen. I have no idea why he wants to go in the tournament like why do you want to enter you can die, then he just says "I rather die from something more real then boredom.", do have to agree though he makes a good point, dieing from something more real then boredom will be better. "The distract residents who aren't in the tournament will be right here when ever they wake up and start watching. We will be choosing a female and a male, you maybe that lucky one who gets to be in the tournament. We are going to do males first, and the lucky handsome little man is, Dean Baker."

"Now for the females, that beautiful devil angel is-" she reaches her hand into the fish bowl, make circle movements, picked one up and said "Sammy Baker" (Short story - completed)Complete
Silent Tears (English) (Complete)
'Dear citizens, welcome to the most important day of the year, where from today teenagers will once again have the chance to prove themselves in front of the whole country. Like every year, it will be another great spectacle, with blood-curdling games.' Hundred teenagers must compete in a life-and-death contest. Only ten of them will survive. The games they play are gruesome. Nobody is safe. Ash is drawn, and she'll have to participate. But then fate strikes, and her little sister has to go with her. Will she be able to keep them both alive? Or is it impossible to come back unharmed from a deadly contest anyway? This is a rewritten and translated version of Death Game, which was Dutch. Both versions are mine. If you like the Hunger Games and Squid Game, I definitely recommend this story. Part 1 of the Tears seriesComplete

One of the players is a Traitor and is working to help the kidnapper win.There are three ways for the players to win. If they escape before there are only two remaining, the players win. If they find and kill the Traitor, the players win. If they find the kidnapper, the players win. But if there are only two remaining players, the kidnapper wins.
