I never thought I’d survive the Selection. Now that I’m in, I realize survival isn’t the point—they want us to break. Each game strips away another piece of who we were. The cameras watch, the crowds cheer, and the rules are lies. But I’ve seen the flaw in their system: every game has a loophole. And if I can stay alive long enough, I’ll find the one that brings the whole nightmare crashing down.

The Evil Games
I never thought I’d survive the Selection. Now that I’m in, I realize survival isn’t the point—they want us to break. Each game strips away another piece of who we were. The cameras watch, the crowds cheer, and the rules are lies. But I’ve seen the flaw in their system: every game has a loophole. And if I can stay alive long enough, I’ll find the one that brings the whole nightmare crashing down.The collar around my neck hums with every breath. One wrong move, and it explodes.\n\nThe crowd roars as the gates grind open, revealing a maze of shattered glass and flickering holograms. Somewhere inside, there's a key to the next level—and a trap waiting for anyone who finds it. Kael grabs my arm, his voice low: 'They're watching. Smile like you enjoy this.'\n\nI force a grin, heart hammering. This is the second trial. The first ended with Lira breaking a man's fingers to steal his passcode. I told myself I wouldn't become a monster. But now, the system is forcing the question: How far will I go to survive?
