In The Culling Game, survival begins at the fall… but death waits at every step. Every year, two hundred lives are stripped from their homes and thrown into the arena for an experiment as old as fear itself. The Culling Trial This year, one name didn’t belong. Kae’s. Illegally marked by his step-aunt’s ruthless blackmail, Kae never should’ve been chosen. Yet he is plunged into the trial with the other candidates, thrust into a labyrinth where everything can kill and every alliance bleeds dry. With the walls of the arena shrinking, there is no place to hide. But the greater danger waits beyond the battlefield. Even if Kae survives the trials, his enemies outside the walls—will ensure he never sees freedom again. To survive, Kae must carve a path through a world designed against him before it's too late for him.

Mercy is a luxury when currency of survival is lifespan. Crackle . . . hiss . . . boom . . . rain falls on corpses. The storey opens on the mountain of the dead - the last battlefield of the human race. Li Wei, who is a broken man under the curse of accelerated ageing, stands among the ruins of the Ancient God. His shaking hands hold a divine artefact - The Eye of Judgement. His body decays. His breath comes out in broken gasps - huff, cough, splat. And then… betrayal. The only family he's ever had - his sister, Li Xue - looks coldly on as she drives the dagger deeper into his chest. Thud… hiss… crackle… She calls him "nothing but an adopted mistake." A man named Yang Xun, brilliantly like an idol of deceit, thanks him mockingly. That's when Li Wei realises - the world doesn't reward love. It rewards survival. When he dies, something ancient is roused inside The Eye of Judgement. And when he opens his eyes again - it's 2025, the day the god forsaken game, LYTABern, descends upon Earth.
