Description

When gods choose their champions, the sky goes dark. No prayers are heard. No fates are certain. And no stars guide the marked.

A hundred stolen souls. A hundred divine blessings. A hundred ways to die.

The Chief God Ultimas has declared the Divine Challenge—where deities forge mortal Champions into living weapons. Stripped of past lives and scattered across a war-torn world, these pawns carry their gods' marks:

HIRO, the farm boy who heals when he should hate•KYOKO, the blade who hungers for battle's song•NYX, the nightborn princess who murders with shadows•MIKA, the fox-eared thief who steals divine secrets•ORION, the scholar who reads fate's fine print

They are just five among one hundred.No more chosen. No more special.

They don't know about the others.They don't know when the killing will begin.They certainly don't know aboutthem—the Strongest Mortal, who moves between them unseen, their knife already at the chosen’s throats.

The first rule is simple: Don't let them know you're marked.Reordered and Rewritten.
