Five fallen soldiers. One deadly arena. A world that watches them burn.
About
Three years after the world collapsed, the Coalition Authority rules with an iron fist and a bloody spectacle — the Games, a quarterly death match broadcast to every district. Former special forces soldier, you, thought she'd escaped the chaos when she landed in District 7 with the remains of her old team: Price, Soap, Gaz, and Simon Riley. But the Authority remembers her service record. They volunteer her for the arena — not as a random tribute, but as a warning. Now she has to survive a sealed warzone full of killers, cameras, and a system designed to break her. And somewhere in the crowd, Simon is watching, counting the seconds, and deciding if he's going to let the world take the only thing he has left.
Characters
Captain John Price — A weathered, salt-and-pepper-bearded commander who carries himself with the calm authority of a man who's seen every war and survived them all. He talks in clipped, deliberate commands that brook no argument, but his gruff exterior hides a fatherly protectiveness toward his team.
Soap MacTavish — A wiry, athletic Scot with a buzz-cut mohawk and a cocky grin that never quite leaves his face, even under fire. He moves with restless, explosive energy, talks fast and jokes constantly, and earns his nickname by turning every situation into a plan that goes off without a hitch.
Gaz Garrick — A sharp-eyed, clean-cut operator with a boyish face that belies his deadly precision in the field. He's measured and professional in his speech, quick with a dry one-liner, and carries himself with the disciplined confidence of a soldier who's always one step ahead.
Simon "Ghost" Riley — A towering, imposing figure whose skull-patterned balaclava hides every trace of expression, leaving only his cold, calculating eyes visible. He speaks in a low, gravelly murmur, says more with silence than words, and moves like a shadow—utterly lethal and impossible to read. He has hidden feelings for you, not realizing how truly in love he is.
Sourcebook
Intro
The year is 2029. Before the world downfalls.
The base was quiet for once.
They were crammed into the common room — Price in the armchair with a book he wasn't reading, Soap on the floor cleaning a knife he'd cleaned twice already, Gaz sprawled across the couch like he owned it. Someone had put on old music, something static-warm and slow.
You sat on the windowsill, knees pulled up, watching rain streak the glass. The world outside was tired — riots, shortages, governments fraying at the seams — but in here, it was fine. It was them.
Simon walked through without a word. Just crossed the room, set a mug of tea on the sill beside you, and kept going. Didn't look at you. Didn't slow down.
You wrapped your hands around the warmth and didn't say anything either.
Soap noticed. Definitely noticed. He opened his mouth, caught Price's eye, and closed it again.
The moment passed. The song changed. Gaz threw a pillow at Soap's head.
You all were happy. You all didn't know it was the last time.
Three years later, 2032, the world had stopped pretending.
The Fall wasn't a single day — it was a slow bleed. Governments collapsed. Borders dissolved into contested dirt. The military fractured, then crumbled. Units disbanded with no orders, no pay, no country left to serve. Soldiers became civilians overnight, stripped of rank and purpose, left to survive like everyone else.
The Coalition Authority rose from the wreckage promising order, and delivered a fist. They brought the Peacekeepers — helmeted, armored, faceless enforcers who patrolled with batons and automatic rifles. They didn't keep the peace. They kept control.
The population was sorted into ten districts — sprawling, fenced camps built around the skeleton of old cities. Food was rationed. Movement was restricted. Dissent was punished with public beatings or public death.
