The Clash Royal

The story is inspired by the game named Clash Royal. The goal of Clash Royal is to knock down as many towers as
possible and/or your opponent's King's Rook before the time limit, which is 3 minutes, adding 1 minute if the game is
not tied. And to achieve this goal, you have a deck of 8 cards, each corresponding to a type of character, spell or
building.

The cries of the goblins still echo this morning to announce this very special day and the archer 38986 gets up with
difficulty and goes to get her cloak and her bow to start this day. She lives in the arena 2 nicknamed "Bone Pit" since
always with her twin sister, Goblins, giants, musketeers, knights and gargoyles also lived in arena 2. The streets are
normally crowded because there are so many of them, but today especially, they are deserted and very quiet, only the
cries of goblins can be heard, the weather, however, is sunny, which promises "a good day". She walks towards the
border between arena 2 and 3, where the draw for the 500 participants of arena 2 will take place at 3pm even though
she is 5 hours early.
The island is composed of 14 arenas each with more than 100,000 inhabitants, each arena has its own particularity
and type of inhabitants and the closer you get to arena 14, the more important and stronger you are considered and
the lower you were in the arena, the more inhabitants there were. This system was designed by Dimitry Rosenboorg,
the first king of the island, he made all the inhabitants move in the different arenas randomly and made remove all the
names for numbers instead, so only his name is known to all, even the other kings who succeeded him never had a
name.

The archer arrived at the border between the two arenas, which were separated by a great wall, 20 meters high, so
that no one could pass, not even dragons, except for the king. Many people had already arrived and groups were
already formed, strangely, the mood was particularly good on this day. The opinion was always mixed on this day,
some were looking forward to it, while others dreaded it more than ever, for the archer it was a sign of terror and
destruction, people would fight to the death to gain power and she hated that. She sits in a corner, near the wall,
waiting for the long awaited time, she had only one hurry, it was not to be chosen, just like her sister. However, today
she did not have a good feeling, she knew that after more than decades without being chosen, she would soon be
chosen.
[…]
Finally, the hour so much awaited had arrived, it was 3 p.m., all the inhabitants of the arena had joined together and it
awaited only the current king, the magic archer 1809 which was just before in the arena 1 comes to make the drawing.
He arrives on the back of a dragon and lands on the platform, surrounded and cheered by all the inhabitants. He does
not make speeches and does not speak because everyone knows why he is there, and it would be a waste of time
knowing that he must go to the 14 arenas and must draw 500 people. The draw has just been completed. She was
chosen. She knew it. She felt it. But it doesn't matter because if she has to die, it's because the time was right, she has
lived long enough. She goes home with her sister who was not chosen, and fortunately, or unfortunately, because if
the archer had died, her sister would be all alone. The hog-warders will come tomorrow to pick her up very early and
take her away, she will never come back, unless she manages to win.

Tomorrow, she will have to go to the legendary arena because indeed, there is an arena, especially for the death game:
the clash royal. The goal for her is to succeed in winning all the tests to reach the final and win the crown by becoming
the queen of the island and to see her sister again.

Now let's go back to the real world and no longer in the virtual world where we will find all the great heads of state
who have been there for decades and are just waiting for the game to start. During the world pandemic, people had to
face a confinement that lasted a very long time and it is in this moment that people started to multiply the
reproduction by 10. The governments of each state met to decide on the solution to be taken in view of the
overpopulation, which will not be possible to feed and house.
Thus, they decided to plunge the entire world population into a deep coma and took control of their brains and
dreams, so that they would all find themselves in a virtual fantasy world. All people have to participate at least once in
the game and if they die in the game, they will die in real life. The game has evolved and changed a lot since its
creation, the former kings of the game could wake up from the coma, we can count a hundred of them and they are
the successors of the leaders of states that are likely to die in the coming years, they don’t have a big role since there is
no more population.
The population, which had risen to 15 billion, has managed to fall to 11 billion since then, in fact, there are no more
births, only deaths, so there is no risk of a population increase, they are waiting for the population to reach the 7
billion threshold to finally stop the game.
