When strangers win a luxury cruise that turns out to be a deadly series of survival games, two morally grey contestants must rely on each other to endure the challenges, until the final round forces them to choose between survival and betrayal.

A dream vacation. A once-in-a-lifetime lottery. A hundred lucky winners.
Roxy can hardly believe her name was chosen. A luxury cruise, thousands of dollars promised to every passenger, and the chance to win even more. It feels too good to be true. For Charlie, it's just another scam dressed up in glitter. He doesn't care about the views, the shows, or the champagne bars. All he cares about is paying off his debts and walking away richer than he came.
But when the ship sets sail, paradise quickly unravels. The "exclusive cruise experience" is nothing more than a trap - a series of brutal survival games designed to strip away compassion, trust, and humanity one challenge at a time. There are no safe bets, no happy endings. Just the promise that only one will walk away alive.
Forced into a fragile alliance, Roxy and Charlie must navigate not only the deadly trials, but each other - her stubborn hope against his ruthless pragmatism. Every round forces new sacrifices, and every decision has a price.
On this cruise, survival isn't just about strength. It's about what you're willing to lose.

Story written by Miley The Butterfly and StevefromLatvia, it is a co-work.
We'll warn you now: This story has a lot of things. What it doesn't have is a happy ending.

THE RISKS by EmJayRey

"You can't tell me there isn't something here worth risking everything for." [New Adult Apocalyptic Romance] Summary: There are some things that you can't outrun. That becomes all the more obvious when the world is ending, when there's nothing left but the feral creatures that were once people, consumed now by a virus that's made them cannibalistic and ravenous. It might just be easier to end it all, but Claire still has one last thing to fight for. Her younger sister. And she intends to keep her safe, no matter the cost. So, with no other options and her sister in tow, Claire ventures out into the dangers of this new, unforgiving world in search of safety, security, and answers to some long burning questions. The first two things -along with some new, unexpected questions- she finds in an unlikely place: a stranger who she's become indebted to. She has a feeling he can help her answer all her questions, if she can allow herself to fully trust him. Trust, she thinks, is a fragile thing. Humanity, a construct. Love, a weakness. But these are the thoughts of a survivor, and she's beginning to wonder if surviving is all she wants. Maybe she wants to live.

Striking a deal with Death can have dangerous effect - especially when you end up in a love triangle with one of its reapers, while fighting for your life in a deadly underworld competition. *** Percy Spring has always been able to see the darker side of the world - ever since the car accident that almost claimed her life, she has gained the ability to see demons and Death's reapers. But when Death itself offers her a second chance at life, she knows she can't pass it up. In order to save her friends, Percy agrees to enter The Game - a deadly competition in the underworld where no one is as they seem. As Percy navigates the dangerous world of The Game, she realizes that she has been placed in competition with one of Death's reapers, Ryder, with whom she has a complicated past. To make matters even more complicated, she is also competing against Death's jealous mistress. When the other players start to die, Percy must decide who she can trust in order to emerge victorious. As she struggles to outwit Death and save her friends, Percy must also confront her own feelings and decide where her loyalties lie. Can she trust Ryder, the reaper with whom she shares a tumultuous history, or Blake, the mysterious man who promised to help her save her friends? And can Percy truly trust either of them? Striking a deal with Death has never been more dangerous, and the consequences of Percy's choices will have a lasting impact on her future. Will she come out on top, or will she be caught in Death's deadly game forever? *** "Percy Spring, you are offered a second chance." "A second chance," she repeated. "This mean I will come back to life?" "The game of second chance was created for people whose fate is in doubt of whether their time has come or not. It is also for those who wish to go out on a limb and try their luck in winning with me," Death started explaining. "You will be put in the game, and we will play."
Half A Heart, Half A Blade by ChristianGreat

--- Renee was born into privilege - old money, high society, a future paved in gold. But she never wanted perfection. She wanted to feel something. So, she chased it. Illegal street races. Underground fight clubs. Luxury-fueled Adrenaline highs. Risk became her drug of choice - danger, her only way to breathe. Then came the night it all burned. One mistake. One crash. Simply being at the wrong place, at the wrong time. The final thread tying her to the family that already viewed her as a failure was cut. Then came Lucian. He didn't save her. Wasn't looking for her. He didn't want anyone. Especially not someone like her. A ghost in plain sight, Lucian had spent most of his life hiding from a world that marked him for death and branded him a monster before he ever had the chance to speak for himself. Behind his silence are stories carved in scars, memories soaked in blood, a hatred so deep it thrums just beneath the surface of his skin. To the world, he's dangerous. To some, a taboo. To Renee... he's the first risk worth taking. But love was never part of the plan. And the deeper she falls, the closer she gets to the one truth Lucian's spent a lifetime denying: This isn't a love story. There are some things love can't heal. Some monsters weren't made to be loved- ---
Venture to Uncertainty (#1) by tarishannon18
44 parts Complete
It's a deadly plan, and it goes like this: First, become a crew member of the Avourienne, a pirate ship notorious for its charismatic captain and wicked ways. Second, trick the ship's cunning strategist, famous for winning every game she's ever played, into believing a delicately spun lie. Third, get close enough to their tyrant king to put a knife through him. Deadly doesn't quite describe such a plan. In fact, inconceivable may be the better word. But Archer Kingsley has a knack for such things, and he feels he's going to pull off this plan with the ease he does most everything. Perhaps he's not quite aware of the absolute hell that's about to break loose, but truthfully, it's so much better that way. Because true adventures are born from uncertainty. * Cover by xxsoteria Mature themes you may encounter in this book: - harsh language (it's a pirate book) - violence (it's a pirate book) - sexual implications (it's a PIRATE book) However, this story does not violate any of Wattpad's mature guidelines and therefore is not marked as such.

TRAPPED IN HIS EYES by PraiseAjibola3
47 parts Complete Mature
Nobody ever thinks their life will shatter in an instant-until it does. Not at first. You wake up, you go through the motions, and you trust the people around you. You laugh, you cry, you love. You never stop to wonder if the hands you hold today will be the same ones that destroy you tomorrow. I never did. I never questioned the warmth in his smile, the strength in his presence, the way he stood by my side like a shadow I could always rely on. I thought I had finally found someone who understood me, someone who didn't see me as an outsider. Someone I called a brother. But trust is a dangerous thing. It blinds you. It makes you miss the signs staring right at you. Because the moment I saw the truth- I realized I had been holding the devil's hand all along. #5 Survivor #36 Obsession

Some fates are worse than death--survival is one of them. In the two hundred years since humanity left the Earth's surface to live in the sky, life on the ground faded to a myth, a tragic memory from which they severed themselves to survive. They floated above continents turned to sand and lands swallowed by the seas, watched storm after storm rage against their cities and their monuments until they broke apart the last vestiges of civilization in penance for generations of human greed. As a lightning harvester charged with flying her ship into these storms for energy, Raina has seen more of the planet than most. She has spent her entire life soaring above its craters and scars, studying the gaping wounds of human devastation, as she honed her skills and became the youngest captain in storm-chaser history. Her ship has flown for generations. Her skills are unparalleled. But none of that matters the day they go down. ~ Praise for Earth, After: "I'm so not ready for this ending. I will reread this for sure. It's honestly my favourite work on wattpad ever, and among my best reads in general, it's insane. I love your creativity!" "Sometimes tearing my eyes away from the page is torture. Gosh...!!!!" "This is literally a movie - the images are so clear!"

LARO (Ang Silang Huling Manlalaro) by Sassy_Alcey
11 parts Ongoing Mature
In a dystopian future where an underground, high-stakes Death Game decides the destiny of desperate people, participants from all backgrounds are compelled to battle for survival. Each tournament is disguised as a rigorous sequence of conventional and psychological games, intended to remove the weak and reward only the stronger. Past winners believed they had guaranteed their freedom for decades-until they themselves became targets. A huge conspiracy emerges as survivors, both local and worldwide, discover they were never truly free. Captured and forced into a new, more deadly tournament, they must now face not just the game's cruel new overlords, but also their own haunted pasts, betrayals, and forbidden passions. The mayhem is fueled by the genius behind the games, his vicious adopted son, and his seemingly dutiful heir, all of whom have their own secret goals. As previous champions rejoin, friendships and rivalries reemerge, and unexpected betrayals bring them closer to annihilation. Meanwhile, a global rebellion headed by covert agents and renegade victors works to bring the organization down and put a stop to the games for good. With survival, love, and revenge at stake, the ultimate question remains: Who will be the last man standing?

It wasn't supposed to be a rescue. It wasn't even supposed to be real. A drunken dare. A reckless chase. A twisted game. Harry and his friends entered the house with one thought-to take what wasn't theirs. But the moment they crossed the threshold, the game turned against them. The doors locked. The walls shifted. Their desires became chains, their laughter swallowed by silence. At first, they thought it was a man-a monster lurking in the dark, toying with them. But the deeper they went, the more the truth clawed at their sanity. The house was alive. And it wanted them to suffer. Time unraveled. Lust turned to regret. Hunger turned to madness. Their mistakes tightened like a noose, and soon, Harry found himself losing more than just his way. He was losing them. And the house was still watching. Because no one leaves until it is done with them. The House That Whispers
