The knife wants blood. It might settle for Will’s.

Will Wayman didn’t sign up for BioZone City, a televised death game where players kill to harvest power. He didn’t choose his weapon either.

Now he’s bonded to a talking hunting knife that won’t shut up … and won’t stop pushing him to hunt.

“Find someone. Hunt them," it says, again and again.

Will has no idea how to survive. And his stats aren’t helping. Then he meets Trix—a psychic who’s just as dangerous as the game—and a lot less predictable.

When the purge hits Quadrant 1, everyone with a pulse gets wiped. If they want to live, they’ll have to hunt.

Trix and Will Kill Squad

The knife wants blood. It might settle for Will's.

Will Wayman is dropped into a televised death game where players kill each other to level up and harvest skills. He is bonded to a hunting knife that won't shut up. "Find someone. Hunt them," it demands. Crazy, but not the worst advice in a death game.

Will spawns with 2 INT, 1 CHA, and little chance of surviving or doing it stylishly enough to get good TV ratings. Trix is a psychic manipulator whose former team tried to kill Will—and died instead. She forms the Kill Squad with Will, and they are soon joined by Kiara, a yoga-practicing pacifist forced into the game by mistake.

The clock is ticking before an overpowered army of BioZone's security officers purges everyone still stuck in Quadrant 1. If they want to live, they’ll have to embrace the hunt.
