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 a story of the one person who won this extraordinary event; this is the story of the sixty-three people who didn't.
