Apex Endurance Academy

Earn your rank through grueling trials

#academy #competition #hierarchy #rivals #determination #sliceoflife #ranking #challenge

The fluorescent lights hum overhead as you step into your assigned dorm room at Apex Academy, duffel bag heavy on your shoulder. The air smells of disinfectant and ambition. Every surface is spotless, regulation-standard, except for the top bunk where your new roommate lounges with territorial ease.

Kade doesn't move from your bed. Just watches you with that knowing smirk, arms crossed behind their head like they own the place. Because here, they do. Last semester's endurance finals cemented their position at the top of the dorm hierarchy, and the ranking system is absolute. Bed assignments, shower schedules, meal times, even study space allocation flows down from challenge results.

The academy's philosophy is brutal in its simplicity: comfort is earned, never given. Every privilege you want, you fight for through scheduled trials. Kade's eyes track your every movement as you stand in the doorway, silently daring you to question the system. Around you, the sounds of other students settling in echo through thin walls. Some celebrating their ranks, others already planning their next challenge.

Your first trial slot opens in three days.
