Squid's PoV:
I was sitting playing Minecraft on the Xbox with Stamps. We weren't recording but we just decided to Skype and play some games while we had the time. Tom was upstairs recording and Nicole was in the kitchen cooking. There was a knock at the door so I got up to get it. When I opened the door I saw a girl who looked about 12. I thought she was some fan but when I saw her expression I got slightly worried. She looked so scared. "H-help. M-my friend c-collapsed." She said to me. I started to get really worried. I hate it when I see children scared or upset. I quickly asked her where her friend was and I followed her down the drive. She stopped and pointed to the wall. I turned to see a girl the who looked the same age as her friend leaning against a wall. She was probably the sickest looking person I have ever seen. She was nearly as white as the snow around her and when I bent down to pick her up she felt as cold as it too. I quickly started to walk up the drive and I saw her face turn to look at mine and she managed to choke out one word, "Squid." I was actually sorta happy that she recognised me as it would mean that hopefully she would have no trouble trusting me. I quickly took her into my sitting room as soon as we got into the house and I shouted for Tom and Nicole. I put her down on the sofa and quickly said goodbye to Stamps and I told him I would explain what happened later. Tom and Nicole came into the room and I explained to them what had happened. I told Nicole to help her friend as she didn't look too healthy either. Nicole started to lead her out of the room, "Wait" I said. They turned around. "What's your name?" I asked her. "Flo and that's Izzy." She said pointing to the girl on the sofa. "She's a huge fan." She added. She continued to walk out with Nicole but turned again, "You saved her life." I nodded Izzy looked really sick. "I don't mean about today." She said. What did that mean. I was pretty sure I had never met her before.

From Nothing
Rejoice Humanity! You have been invited to join the Galactic Hegemon. It is time for our Centenary Caste Competition. The best 1% of humanity will be given a 1 cycle tutorial before the 5 cycle contest. Be brave, be bold, but most of all, be strong and earn your place and privileges. Burning red letters hung large in the vision of everyone on earth that knew a written language. At the same moment that smartest, fastest, and strongest people on the planet disappeared with nothing to mark their passing. After a cycle of training and growth they would compete to earn their place in their suddenly expanded galaxy. This is not their story. Joe did his best to take care of his parents house and stay healthy. He was the only one of the four family members not chosen. The societal upheaval made by the announcement made the inflation and purges of the 20's seem pleasant by comparison but he keeps his head down and survives. Once the next message arrives 11 months later about the contest starting, even that society broke down into city states around large population centers. Joe tightened his belt and looked forward to the day that his family returned. Two years later burning red letters once again filled his vision. Humanity, the last of your competitors have been eliminated. Your determined caste level is 13 of 13. As such your planet has been claimed and will be repurposed for ideal resource production. Rifts will be seeded across the planet to increase resources and mana density. Your orbit will be corrected to ideal Hegemon standard. Do not interfere with any Hegemon activity, as the bottom caste you have no rights. Rejoice that all castes receive at least the basic Hegemon Growth System. Better luck next century. Joe didn't comprehend any of it. His family was dead. Everything he cared about was gone.
