DESTINY GAMES. It has been 85 years since Earth-11 became aligned with Yggdrasil and 73 years since Icon became the first demigod from Earth. Icon, as the first demigod, was privileged to weave the thread of fate for everyone. He was supposed to cut off Yggdrasil and free Earth-11 from the grasps of the other Earths and their god kings. That's why everyone helped him climb the tower of Destiny. But instead of ridding earth of Yggdrasil, he turned the destiny of mankind into seven rings of immortality.  The first ring was for the immortality of power. The second was for the immortality of the knowledge. The third, fourth, fifth, and sixth were for the immortality of the mind, energy, body, and soul. The last ring, the ring of the paragon, was made to rule them all.  Icon kept the ring of the paragon for himself and became a dictator. He ruled with an iron fist for many years. His was a reign of terror. But he was eventually vanquished by the collective effort of the world.  It has been 62 years since then. Icon is no more, but the damage he had done still remains. Earth-11 is still connected to Yggdrasil. The deadly games of the Tower of Destiny still remain, and the fight for the seven rings of immortality still continues.  Kelvin Thorn has just awakened his ability. It came at a good time too since he is running for his life. The ability he awakened saved him, but it came with a cost. He must climb the tower of destiny under the witness of the whole world and accumulate destiny, or he will die.  His situation is not unique. Everyone that awakens, which is mostly everyone, must climb the tower of destiny. It is one of the curses that Icon left behind before he died. But Thorn is different because the seventh ring found him.  The tower of destiny is where everyone granted power by destiny, be they humans, non-humans, or otherworlders, must fight in games of might, skill, and knowledge to gather the power of destiny. They will either die or eventually overcome death. Kelvin will be one of the latest in the line of billions of others in this struggle. DISCORD: https://discord.com/invite/Ku2gqaHz

I am an unfortunate teen who died young in a house fire and entered the afterlife being only 17 years old. It wasn't as I would've expected it to be, instead of eternal darkness, I was placed inside a game, a game that's set in an abandoned city deprived of life and energy. In this game, I was assigned challenging tasks with a remarkably attractive reward at the end of the line, which is a pass back into life.

Everyone is playing a regal game. Everyone except Lucia (who probably should). After her father faced accusations of trying to seize the throne from his father and king, he was exiled along with his family. They were no longer royalty, but his wife would not have it. She was friends with the queen of Vershia and used that to her advantage. Her two older daughters were the right age to marry the two princes, and she would make that happen come what may. That became a problem when the oldest daughter was ignored by the crown prince, who formed a friendship with the youngest of the girls. There was still hope; Lucia could become the future queen. But Lucia was not groomed for this role. She did not want to live for the type of marriage she could snag. She did not want to take the man who had been planned for her sister. But that’s the thing with plans, isn’t it? She never planned to fall in love with the man, and there she was: an unwilling participant in the regal games. Would she capture the crown? How would everything affect her relationship with her sister? Was there ever pleasing her mother? [WSA 2024 Entry]

In the face of an impending apocalypse—the sun's imminent destruction—Earth's technology proves insufficient to save humanity. Hope arrives unexpectedly in the form of aliens representing the Intergalactic Federation, peacekeepers who have come to adopt Earth's inhabitants into their cosmic alliance. Since Earth falls within the Federation's jurisdictional boundaries, they are obligated to offer salvation. Due to transportation constraints, only 70% of Earth's population—approximately 5 billion people—can be evacuated, along with samples of all animal and plant species. Governments worldwide prioritize children's survival, while countless elders make the ultimate sacrifice, willingly remaining behind to ensure the younger generation's future. The Federation implements a sophisticated ranking system to allocate humans across various planets under their control. High-ranking individuals will be sent to advanced, resource-rich worlds, while those with poor or non-existent rankings face relocation to harsh, barren planets. The interstellar journey will take 170 years, during which evacuees will remain in hypersleep pods—their bodies frozen in time while their minds remain active. These pods are designed to interface with the Federation's network, allowing occupants to participate in a full-dive VRMMO during the journey rather than enduring nearly two centuries of sensory deprivation. This metaverse mirrors Federation society, offering evacuees opportunities to select and train for careers based on their qualifications. Many choose military roles, government positions, scientific research, or engineering paths, requiring specialized training in advanced Federation technologies and interstellar politics. This preparation ensures that upon arrival, humans will possess the knowledge and experience necessary for their chosen professions—making career selection a critical decision. Every eight years, travelers are awakened for three months to exercise and perform maintenance duties aboard the ship, primarily cleaning and system upkeep. However, those who achieve top rankings in the Federation metaverse earn special privileges and freedoms during these awakening periods. As humanity embarks on this desperate exodus, the race for survival transforms into a competition for rank—determining not just individual futures, but the fate of the human species among the stars.

"I Want to Play a Game" blends elements such as time loops, infinite streams, rule-based games, and post-apocalyptic survival, all set against a unique Chinese aesthetic with mind-bending plot twists. The story unfolds in an alternate realm known as "The Land of Endings," where all participants are "the Guilty"—people burdened with sins in the real world—who are forcibly drawn into a death game controlled by the Twelve Zodiac. The game is divided into three levels: "Heaven," "Earth," and "Human." Within ten days, participants must win "the Dao" through strategic play, deduction, or cooperation; once they accumulate enough, they can escape. Those who fail will lose their memory and be resurrected on the eleventh day, while only those who awaken the "Echo" ability can retain their memories and move on to the next cycle of reincarnation. Originally a "place for divine creation," The Land of Endings has become a brutal battleground for survival following the betrayal of the Zodiac leader, "Tianlong" (Heavenly Dragon).
