It's a long story, involving a fierce rivalry between two families.
The Riccis were a family of nobility, and riches, while the Pares were one that hoped for the days where they too might have the money needed to live. Throughout the years, the battle raged on, with each having control for a certain amount of time. However, the Riccis won the empire, because those with resources and riches can purchase weaponry and allies, causing a distinct advantage over the poor Pares.They forced the Pares to work, to make sure they never had to lift their fingers other than to eat food. It was always "do this" or "do that", but never would you hear a thank you from their snobby lips.
The Pares began to multiply quickly, having many children in order to possibly lessen the work load. Eventually, natural resources declined dramatically, bringing the empire into the ground.
The Riccis, who still had the power, decided to take the situations into their own hands by using methods of demise. They'd do whatever they could to eliminate as many Pares as possible, causing a chain reaction, eventually leading them to more food.
The first few ideas were used to simply to get rid of them - there wasn't a system used to eliminate the Pares. Odd disasters occurred, such as animals breaking into the towns, etc. Eventually, the Riccis realized that this was to spontaneous - there were too many variables to consider, so they decided on a set method
Each year, The Program was initiated. A large handful of citizens were placed into the Program, perhaps by lottery, or perhaps chosen out of hatred. But either way, nobody knew where they are - until they woke up at least, with only the clothes on their backs, and a large military pack with a melee weapon, ranged weapon, food and water, and some type of shelter.
The arena was an island. The Programees were quickly inducted, learning about what they will have to do - escape from the arena. In recent years, only one male and one female have survived. However, it was possible for multiple residents to make it out alive. But it wasn't easy.
They first had to leave the island, which is a challenge in itself. It was constantly guarded by horrible beasts, and the land was never as safe as one thought it might have been. Then, there was crossing the ocean, which had been impossible for most. If and when they reached the mainland, your next task was to get back home, to Ordre, the empire where this all took place. Only then were you safe. But there was another method; kill everything there, to be safe from dying.
The winners become rich, their status elevated to somewhere just under Ricci status - like celebrities. Of course, they were rehabilitated over a course of years to "get them back to normal", but of course, there were the endless nightmares, the torturous screams that never seemed to leave the winner's ears.
But this was a new world, in which you had to Fight for Flight
