Gaslight Trials | The Wattys2023 Shortlister ✔️
| 𝟳𝘅 𝗙𝗘𝗔𝗧𝗨𝗥𝗘𝗗 ·|| HUNGER GAMES x CINDER || ONC 2023 Honorable Mention Amidst the escalating unrest between the windborne utopian city of Lighthaven and its seedy, oppressed underbelly Fumedge, the Grand Duke of Lighthaven, Lucius Sextus, comes up with an ingenious solution. To provide much-wanted respite from the brewing conflict, and achieve the apparent-if-temporary unity, he organizes Gaslight Trials - a highly entertaining panem-et-circenses combat event in the Pits. The combatants may use all steam and thaumaturgy powered augmentations at their disposal, and there is only one rule: defeat, or be defeated. The reward for the last one standing? A chance to start their life anew. A brass key to the city of Lighthaven with a luxurious mansion to call their own within, as well as an aeroship to command. When eighteen-year-old Veda Igglesden steps forward to take her timeworn adoptive father's place in the fight, she might as well be signing her death-sentence. With her eyes fully set on the prize, act-first-think-later Veda must harness the power of technology to try and win for her Papa Otto. Decades of breathing in the toxic air of Fumedge did a number on the old inventor's lungs, and being able to live in the air-filtered Lighthaven would sure come in handy right about now. A high-flying adventure full of gadgetry and intrigue; a pleasing blend of steampunk and postapocalyptic. See Veda unravel the mysterious ploy behind the game's organization, and uncover the truth about her secret origins. Can she cope both with the trials of physical and intellectual prowess, as well as with the trials of life itself: those of love, loss and regret? © 2023 EvelynHail Exclusively on Wattpad Based on prompt 49! Which is (I shan't leave ye hanging :P): "Master the rules of the game until you can play it better than they can." Michael Scott, "The Sorceress" Get ready for steampunkish tinkering,Complete

//The technology mention in this story exists, or is achievable, or on early stages, or with no connection to one another, most lacking funds, all with the same goal, to unlock the human potential// At the fall of a country unable to keep up with the ever-changing wimp of a world ruled by greed and power, a character eager to be part of a new way to see the world, dared to break the program to look front and sidelong to where he was being led, and who he was expected to be by starting from zero, creating a new era twenty three years ago. Now in the year 2047, after saving himself and a country by using the logic view of technology to create a tower, one of the tallest buildings in the world, where he gathered all he had learnt and with the hep of other kindred minds, putting to the test every scientific discovery the world had at the service of the only living creature capable of understanding how our reality came to exist, now 'The Vase' became the starting point of a world ruled by logic, with the sight set on the future. But to do so he needs to show the human race where he is standing and how is it possible to reach it, using every kind of platform to launch his achievements-after failing to use his words- and proves to reach the western world into facing their errors and to show how capitalism and the political megalomania will eventually fail the human race as it has done to many other kingdoms. Will Oliva, a young character game creator, social media content persona and art history student, be willing to do so? Would she be able to achieve her goals? Can she use her love tribal art, mythic lore and romantic creations to be part of a realm heading towards a new era? Or will she let herself be shaped by the technocratic view of his world?
