Cedric Rivers has always escaped into his sketchbook — drawing deadly worlds, monstrous games, and a darkly beautiful villain named Baran. But when heartbreak drives him to throw his journal into a strange halo-shaped bin behind school, his fantasy doesn’t just vanish — it comes alive. The next morning, a red storm rolls over Alder High, sealing 500 students and teachers inside. The gates slam shut. The classrooms twist into battlegrounds. And a familiar voice welcomes them: “Welcome to the Survival Game.” Every game demands a sacrifice. Every rule is written in his ink. Now Cedric must face the twisted world he created — and the gorgeous, terrifying game master who calls him Creator. To survive, he must play. To win, he must destroy the story he once loved — before it destroys everyone he cares about.
