Gods' Tournament

Death was supposed to be the end. When sixteen-year-old Gen Gott takes his own life, he awakens in the Void and meets Magball, the God of Death. Instead of passing on, Gen is offered a place in the Gods' Tournament—a competition held once every thousand years where mortals chosen by the gods fight for a single prize: One wish granted directly by God. The problem? Every previous tournament ended without a winner. Unlike the other contestants, Gen possesses no supernatural power. No legendary bloodline. No secret destiny. Just a sharp mind, an indestructible knife, and nothing left to lose. Against opponents who can stop time, bend reality, and wield impossible abilities, Gen must survive battles that should be unwinnable. But as the tournament unfolds, strange cracks begin to appear in the story he's been told—especially whenever he touches the knife that feels far too familiar. Somewhere behind the gods, the tournament, and Gen's forgotten past, something is waiting. And it has been waiting for a very long time.
