Not All Of It Hunger Games

Ethan’s eyes were locked on the door—chained shut, stained with blood. It had been hidden from him for twenty years. A sense of betrayal stirred in his chest. Why would his own family keep this from him? “Why?” he asked, voice low. “Your father swore that the day you opened that door… he’d take his own life.” “What aren’t you telling me?” Years ago, his family forced him into exile, giving no explanation—only urgency. And now, back in Virginia, after all this time, he couldn’t tear his eyes away from that door. His parents acted like nothing had changed. They still expected obedience. They wanted him to bend to their will, to get involved in power games between Mafia factions—just to protect their place in the hierarchy. But Ethan wasn’t the same boy they sent away. --- Will he defy his family to uncover the dark truth hidden behind that door?

Risky Games of Fire is a story about passion, risk, and the line that you can’t cross, but want to. They are used to playing — with each other, with fate, with their own feelings.

But in this game there are only two outcomes: either you burn to the ground, or you learn to control the flames. When the rules are broken and the stakes become deadly high, will they have a chance to get out of this fire unscathed? Or has someone already lost before they even started?

The Jiao dragon on Azure Dragon Peak seems to have the potential to become a Golden Dragon!” "Just scoop up an Azure Dragon from our family's Fengshui pond and play with it. Don't interrupt me while I'm cooking." “Master, I've heard that...” “No matter what you've heard, go to my room and look around, everything... ah, wait a moment, let your senior sister come out first.”

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

Waking up in a hospital with a broken leg and a splitting headache was bad enough. But being trapped there as the world collapsed? That was something else. It started small. A patient down the hall coughing—a wet, ragged sound that never seemed to stop. Then the whispers between nurses, the frantic pages over the intercom. By the time the first screams echoed through the corridors, it was already too late. The infection didn’t start today. It had been building, spreading, hiding in plain sight. We just didn’t see it—until the doors burst open and the blood began to flow. I was awake for all of it. I heard the gurgled cries of those who couldn’t run. The ones who tried to fight. The ones who turned. I smelled the decay before the bodies even cooled. And when the world outside finally went quiet—when the sirens faded and the streets emptied—it felt like nothing was left. But survival isn’t just about escaping. It’s about something more. I don’t believe the world ends just because the rules change. I don’t believe we’re meant to scatter and die alone. Because even now, in the ruins of everything we built, there are still people out there fighting, surviving, searching. And as long as we remember that, we have something left to fight for.
