Winner Takes All Novels & Stories

he teases. I snort "As if, no one has ever or will ever beat me, come on you know this" I say confidently. He laughs nodding his head. "Rules are still the same and you know how it goes, win all your races and by the end of the night you'll race the person from the other group who won all their races and whoever wins the last race takes the trophy home" I nod already knowing how this works. "Well, see you later man" he says walking away. I look around missing this shit, all the girls wearing next to nothing, all the slick cars but nothing beats the adrenaline of being behind the wheel and the feeling of crossing the finish line, first, everytime.

That skill was used to blow up others, and the cost of the player's own life. Seeing six corpses lying on the Battlefield was speechless. Phantasm was so ruthless that he would rather die together than let you win. James shouted, “Holy Shit! Master, what’s going on? Who is going to win? Both sides are dead.” “Let’s see what system decides.” I said calmly. In the end, the system decides that the side of Phantasm would win. If both parties were dead, or if the time was up and no one was dead, the system would choose the winner based on the output.

He looked at the stage with an expression she could not immediately read. "And in week five," Knox continued, "our champion and our Royal Luna will meet in this arena for the final time. One fight. The winner receives freedom, full legal emancipation from all contracts with this establishment, and ten million dollars." He let that settle. "The loser dies under these lights." Nobody spoke. Even the patrons above, men and women who spent their weekends watching wolves tear each other apart for entertainment, held a particular quality of silence that came from understanding they were witnessing something unprecedented.

As I expected, Lucas won as the player of the game and will be granted a favor from the alpha king. “Lucas, congratulations!” I greeted him with a big smile on my face as I slapped his back playfully. “What a good run from my one and only beta. This is your year. You won the games without me in it and now you will also have my divorced wife to be your wife. Isn’t that an exciting thing for you?” Most of the werewolves laughed while Lucas forced a smile on his face. “Thank you, alpha prince.” After handing him the trophy, I decided to leave and just as I expected him to do, he ran towards me.

When you have three kings of any kind and a chosen briscola or the Trump suit, you'll win the game by default. "Release me now, Sarah." I said while wiggling my eyebrows. "Who said I will?" She got the gun on her side and pointed it at me. "Any last wishes, Merchaiass?"

She wanted at this fucker now. “Again, one rule, no killing. Winner will be whoever can get the other to submit or tap out or a knockout. Understood?!” Koda and I locked eyes and just nodded. “Everybody back up!” Jax hollered while pushing people back. “On my word then. Ready…set…GO!”

“The winner is Wesley Sayer. The two contestants will swap their ranking and the wager of one hundred and fifty contribution points goes to Wesley Sayer.” Once the announcement sounded, no matter how frustrated Dale was, there was nothing he could do. The rules must be obeyed.

Not because she was strong but because she hadn't given up. Damien Hale sat alone in his study room. A file lay open in front of him. But he wasn't reading it. His thoughts were elsewhere, something wasn't right. He knew it. He could feel it but everytime he tried to focus on it. It slipped away. “Sophia Reyes wins again” reads one of the newspapers which caught Damien's attention. He slowly picked up the newspaper and saw a picture of Sophia standing outside a court house. Looking calm, confident and unrecognizable.

That’s the point. The boy Elliott loved is gone. In his place is someone who doesn’t forgive. Before I shut off the lights, I make a final vow to myself. This isn’t about getting him back. It isn’t about love. That part of me died the day they took my life apart. About making sure the weight of what was done to me is felt in every corner of their perfect little empire. They took my freedom. My name. And my life. Now I’ll take everything that makes theirs worth living. New game. New rules, and I always win.

XXXII: Destroyed by Rumor Knox's POV "There would be a total of five games, everyone. Each round, like what we usually do, the first five packs that will finish the game will be the winner. Our prizes are pretty much the same as last year, and you can still make a personal request." Wolfric announced before the game started and everybody cheered. "Alright, alright, I'm not done talking. This year is extra special because as you know, the Vampire King himself is here as one of the judges, but... he's also generously giving away one of the islands he owns to the 1st place!"
