The God's Gauntlet: A Multi-Dimensional Scavenger Hunt [BOOK ONE COMPLETE!]

Four strangers. Ten new worlds. One impossible challenge. When a god pulls 4,096 contestants from hundreds of realities into the most brutal scavenger hunt ever conceived, survival isn’t about being the strongest, but adapting faster than everyone else. Each leg drops teams into a new world with new rules: cultivation realms, dying space stations, uninhabited jungles, dungeons spanning entire supercontinents, and stranger places still. Half the teams are eliminated every round, while divine spectators watch, wager, sponsor, and interfere. Among the thousands of teams participating, one in particular catches the host's many eyes: Zero, a shapeshifter who escaped a lab and craves freedom. Viria, an elf determined to become everything her people said she shouldn’t. Yukito, a shadow-wielder branded a villain by a world that never gave him a chance. And Miho, a fox-blooded swordswoman with a dead clan and a living vendetta. The only thing they all have in common is a desire strong enough to leave their world behind. To win, they’ll need more than just power. They’ll need trust, cunning, and the ability to entertain an audience that rewards brilliance, punishes boredom, and treats mortal desperation as its favorite show. The prize? Everything they could ever want. The cost of losing? Their very existence. The race is on. Good luck.
