The Game of the True Elite (Paused Indefinitely)

They move forward believing they choose, yet they only follow a path already laid out. They think they control their fate, blind to the stage built around them. An illusion of freedom. They live out stories that mask their deepest fears. Without conflict, without a mask, they fade away.

Some ignore the truth. Others fear it. Most would rather sleep. And then there is the one who watches. Who never intervenes. Who only understands.

This is no place for the naïve. Here, excellence is nothing but the façade of an experiment. Every gesture is data. Every silence, an unspoken command. The rules are never voiced, yet they weigh heavier than steel. Obedience is the only escape.

This is not a school. It is a board. And they, pieces who have yet to realize it. Each imagines themselves the protagonist, blind to the invisible script they perform. The goal is not to teach them how to think, but how to function. To fit. To obey without knowing it. Emotion is a flaw. Empathy, a crack. Individuality, a threat.

The true challenge is not winning, but not losing yourself. For where perfection exists, shadows linger. And within every structure, a fracture.

The cycle begins again. The same game. New masks. Only the one who listens to silence... understands.

Note:
The characters may appear OOC (Out of Character) depending on the reader's perspective. This is because they have been thrust into a new setting, under different rules, and confronted with situations never present in their original stories. Nevertheless, every effort has been made to preserve their core essence-their principles, mindset, and behavioral patterns-even when faced with a reality that demands different responses. This is a reinterpretation, not a betrayal of who they are.

All characters and concepts belong to their respective authors and creators. This work is a fan-made project, written with the utmost respect for the originals, and created with no intent of profit.
