The Tournament [A Non-Traditional Fantasy]
Every one hundred years, a mysterious entity known only as the Chauffeur invites sixty-four of the world’s greatest heroes, villains, idols, and monsters to compete in The Tournament—a brutal single-elimination contest where the winner can have any one wish divinely granted.Now, in the year 4000, the sixth centennial Tournament is about to begin. The world is still reeling from the aftermath of the Second Human-Mokoi War. Tensions are high with the rise of a new mokoi ruler and whispered sightings of the god-killing White Witch. Even within the vaunted Tournament Corporation itself, something insidious is brewing.This is not the story of the one person who won; this is the story of the sixty-three people who did not.What to Expect: A massive ensemble cast of sixty-four primary characters, each with their own goals, colliding in a constantly interweaving narrative with no predetermined victor. If this story had one main character, it would be the ‘world’ itself. Tons of world-building, an in-depth, rigorous magical system (that does not demand you understand it to enjoy the story) and a fantasy world unlike anything else.Release Schedule: One Chapter every day for the first monthThe first sixty-four chapters of The Tournament are stand-alone stories featuring each invitee just before they receive their invitation to the Tournament. Once the Tournament begins in chapter 65, the narrative shifts to a long-form story-line.
