Versus [A LitRPG Sci-fi Space Opera with Progression]

Every MWF at 12pm EST / Book 3 Finale Oct 16 To be made and to be broken. Calista Medley lives her life beneath a million micro-cameras. Her mother, one of the most famous and admired Socializers, has conditioned her to be completely flawless. The Medleys must live a rich and coveted dream, constantly broadcasted all over Earth for everyone to watch and envy, seeing the family as part of the ideal, model society. But after eighteen years of fake smiles, viewer trackers, and constant self-modifications, Calista’s just about ready to snap. She instead dreams to be part of the Socializers’ ‘enemies’: a renowned fighter in the Versus Interplanetary Peacekeeping Games, a fighting tournament that determines the toughest planet in the Milky Way Utopia. She dreams to carry Earth to that first-place podium and show her true, unmodified, even flawed self that other fighters seem to brazenly flaunt. With a fighting career, she and her younger siblings could finally be free from the impossible ‘model society’ the Medley family pushes onto them. But with her dream comes a lot of risk. When she gets the opportunity to enroll in America’s fighting school, she’ll likely lose her family, friends, fans, and everything she knows, left with the agonizingly difficult path of success. It will be all or nothing in the biggest tournament in the galaxy for her entire family. Extra updates available at @e.m.riverawriter on Instagram and TikTok and E. M. Rivera on Facebook
