Chapter 1
[Congratulations Mystic! You have discovered an unknown tablet.]
[Would you like to take a closer look? At your own risk of course..]
As a pursuer of truth, my zeal for greater knowledge overtakes my usual cautious nature.
I focus my mind.. as I seem to grasp a profound law... runes and strange symbols start to align... "Wisdom stat insufficient" jolts me awake from the profound state. I stare blankly for a moment before then of course start cursing and grumbling at the stupid tablet.
Then with a flash of lightning and the pitter patter of rain, a black-hooded robed figure appears seemingly out of nowhere... Out of the corner of my eye, the intimidating figure stands silently behind me.. the rain continues to increase.. I start to sweat... neither of us move.. I bolster up my courage as I prepare to face this enemy. I slowly reach for a scroll from under my robe but alas I am too late.. the figure moves with lightning speed, realising any hope of defeating this enemy must have been a joke. Maybe I just wasn't cut out for this line of work I muse to myself. The figure is already upon me as I sense death approaching.. "Mast..er this is for.. you, I bel..ieve you dro..pped it" I blink, as I take a moment to recall that this is in fact my most trusted and only apprentice Jack.
Jack while a quick-witted fellow, the cunning look in his eyes is quite disturbing at times. As I am of course an upright and honest individual, having such company reflects poorly on me, but alas this world is too frightening to be by myself. The black figure takes a knee trembling before me. I find that quite odd but don't press the issue... just attributing it as one of his many odd quirks. Taking a look at the runic tablet in his out-stretched hands.. the glowing symbols seem to mock me.. a cold look emnates. Jack seems to tremble with greater intensity.. "The tablet is yours Jack, I have no use for such elementary knowledge" "Yes yes of..course ma..ster.. forgive me.." "...." Looking at him for a moment dumbfounded. I start to question if it is healthy for me to keep such a disciple around.

Shaking my head to clear my thoughts. "Ahh my boy Jack, let's us depart" The two figures slowly disappear into the forest. A while later, the sound of birds chirping could be heard once more as the forest returns to its peaceful state.
To be Continued.

Battle Royale across the Universe: The Species Tournament
Join the Species Tournament! You might lose your sanity, and quite possibly, your life. But hey, great adventure awaits. Who would accept such a deal and risk it all for glory and the unknown? Well, apparently quite a few. In fact, 1.000.000 life forms will face each other in this century’s tournament. Who will win and who’ll be sent packing? Who will gain strength and who’ll leave with trauma? Find out on this week’s episode of the Species Tournament! ................................................................................................... Additional notes (for those who want more details before giving the novel a try): - It’s a battle royale type of setting between humans, pixies, elves, and dwarves organized by a Television Channel from the Demon World. - The MC foolishly decides to join the competition and will struggle to redeem himself throughout the story. The unfolding events will force him and his friends to mature in different ways. - Each round will be held in a different location/planet. The rounds and the locations will become crazier as the plot progresses. - There will be a mystery aspect to the story, since the demons don’t really like spoon feeding contestants on what is going on. - You can expect some magic elements, though contestants won't have much access to them. - The members of each species will have their own unique worlds, back-stories, motivations, and traits. Some will fight for personal reasons while others for the sake of their people. The needs of many vs. the needs of the individual will clash on several occasions. - Finally, there will be twists and turns at every corner, so one should never get too comfortable. Thanks in advance to all who read my story, and I’d love to hear your thoughts on it!
