1 Prologue

March 16, The Acquirement.

The most excruciating time of every high school, no scratch that of every people in this country.

January 10, 2020, was the date when Western Colonies took total control over our country. This country I am residing with has a pretty overpopulated community so to fix the problem while adding the entertainment they want, they decided that an Annual Herculean Tournament should be implemented. How does this go? They pick a whole class, from 10th grade to 12th grade there will be 10 winners out of 50 students in that class. But the sacrifices do not stop there, there are two more games the Gladiatorial and the Divisional Herculean Tournament. Then the winners from the two games would proceed to the Regional Herculean Tournament.

So basically, they lessen the overpopulation, they find entertainment and they create killing machines for adolescents. It's an all-win situation for them at the very least.

My name is Maia.

Just Maia, since last names are not of any importance right now and I'm in my 10th grade now in the local high school near my birthplace.

And this... this is my story.
