MURDER MOON STEVE

PARTICIPATION IS MANDATORY. Earth just got connected to the galactic network. Humanity's reward? Forced entry into the Murder Moon Games—a televised battle royale where entire species fight to the death for faster-than-light travel rights. Steve is a 28-year old washed-up construction worker who lost his shot at baseball stardom years ago. Now he's been abducted, dumped on a wierd AI-powered moon, and given a choice: kill aliens in the most entertaining way possible, or die without a trace. But here's the thing—Steve's been angry his whole life. Angry at his failure. Angry at his father's disappointment. Angry at watching everyone else succeed while he swings a hammer for minimum wage. The Murder Moon Games run on an AI-powered reality-warping moon mega-structure that turns violence into viewer ratings. Every kill levels you up. Every player drops loot. Every dramatic moment brings fame, power, and the adoration Steve's been starving for since his career died. For the first time in his life, Steve's rage has a purpose. And the whole galaxy is watching. Seven zone shrinks. Millions of players. Trillions of viewers. One washed-up human with a bat and a chip on his shoulder. Let the games begin. ----- Author Note: - I am an noob writer looking to practice and have fun, feedback is always welcomed and appreciated!
