// A video is uploaded to the Nexus. \\ // A man stands in a room surrounded by golden walls, standing with a familiar violin in his hand, the violin that was planned to be sold at Haven's recent auction. The man standing in frame was none other than the CEO of AKCorp, Hadley Akers. // // The man looked over the fine instrument, before gently setting it down on the pristine stand next to him. Then, he spoke. \\ "I am nearing the end of my life, folks." "I've about had enough of it all, you know? Throughout my life, I've heard a lot of people give me shit. 'It's lonely at the top.', 'Money can't buy happiness.' " "You've likely heard it all before. And yet, given the chance to be in my position, I am sure you all would ignore those little phrases, wouldn't you?" "Here's your chance." "In the following months, I'll be hosting a tournament, of sorts. It's simple, really. Sign up. Come to the newly constructed arena, and kill each-other for a grand prize of one trillion dollars, my company, and this here priceless, ancient old-earth violin. The best, most rare of it's kind, taken from Earth before it's fall. You fight each other. Win, and you fight me. Win that, and the prize is yours. If you don't win, the prize goes down the drain, and I burn the violin, destroying one of the only relics left from the destruction of Earth. It's your choice." // The video ends, cutting to a redirect to another website, akcorp.nex. The entire website wiped clean, nothing else able to be bought. All that was left, was a sign-up sheet. \\ NAME: AGE: SPECIES: PICTURE OF SELF: DO YOU RECOGNIZE THE RISK OF DEATH ASSOCIATED WITH THIS COMPETITION: // End. \\ (( By signing up for this event, you consent to the death of your character, cloning permitted.
