In The Future This Story May Receive Light Again, But For Now It Will Sleep
As another year passes, a host of characters are pulled from the void. All of them see themselves as heroes in their own right, but soon they will realize that this may not be the case. In this hostile dimension, they will be forced into a tournament where twenty-four will enter, but only one will exit. The stage is set, the world is watching, and everypony is prepared to declare their newest victor. Will they have what it takes to survive in this cruel and twisted world? Is playing their game truly the only way to win, or is escape not as impossible as it seems?
This story is inspired by a Hunger Games OC concept made in 2019 but with some twists to set it apart. The idea was first proposed by a creator called EvyDusk, who's no longer active. The current main ideas in this story and drafts of it are created by me, and they are improved on massively by my co-writer named Emo Rainbow.
Like any other Hunger Games Story, there will be a lot of violence, deaths, and disappointing moments as OCs are cut down and their numbers dwindle, however, for the OCs who were submitted, we'll be trying to make their moments, and this story, as interesting as it could be. Most of the OCs you'll be seeing will be competitors, but there will be some who will be on the sidelines, with other roles surrounding the tournament.
Here are all the OCs by Author:
Blaze Firestarter by Indigo Lightning Strike
"Waxbeak" by SirReal
Silver Chance by foxmaster
Odium by Heroic412227
Kirouac by NicLove
Second Wind by Amereep
Fighter Swan by Emo Rainbow

Wet Nurse, Foal-Bearer, Beatrix by Dr Sharaz Jek
This list will be added on as potentially more OCs could join. The time to submit OCs for the competition is over, but you can still submit OCs as non-competitors, such as game masters, trainers, servants, and other roles that could be useful.
If you're going to submit OCs, want to know more about our project, and other questions, please contact either me or my co writer Emo Rainbow
Good luck with the story! Will check it out when I can!
I like the way you write Firestorm! Try to make him a bit more chill and energetic once he meets the other contestants, though. He isn't tense and angry all the time.
Awsome job!
I will await future chapters.
Game Master: Loyal-Dark / Shifting-Surprise or Dandelion
Servants: Loyal-Dark / Shifting-Surprise or FlashTruth & his Daughters
The Avox Role Is Undecided: Farmer and Solid Ground
Guards:
PeaceKeeper Role : SamuraiKnight or Bubbly-Biceps
Audience: any other O.C.
Audience, and other creative ideas that could be of: in the P.M.

will keep that in mind. this first phase will probably see him the most mad due to the obvious thing that he's been forced into this situation, and various things will seem baffling and just pure evil to him. but upon seeing the rest who are also in his situation he'll slowly calm down, and try to adjust, as best as he can of course.
How does he know it’s been days?
Ok, that might be my nickname for him then, “betting stallion”.
If I had to guess, this is celestia in disguise.
And this is Luna.
I don’t think I know the meaning of swallowing my pride.
I am so Immature
What happens if they don’t kill eachother?
10609247
Appreciate the observations, glad you're taking an interest in certain parts. As for the portion talking about it being 'days' it was meant to sort of allude to the strange flow of time in the void. Earlier he had talked about it only being hospitable for a few minutes, but the next he thinks it's been days. It's sort of meant to demonstrate the voids harsh effects on the psyche, since to him it felt much longer than it might've actually been. Although looking back on it now, it could have been alluded to better.
10609277
Ohh
I don't usually follow M-rated fics, but seeing's as I donated my OC to this one, I'll be keeping an eye on it.
It looks fun. I’ll have to keep an eye out for new instalments.
10610377
10609315
Thanks for deciding to follow
10609315
Hey. Speaking of M-Rated fics, so you honestly think that this story would end up being more of a T story (like the actual Hunger Games) than a M one. I placed the gore tag simply because there would be deaths but the extent that we describe these deaths might be low enough to make it T. Your opinion?
10615061
Works for me.
10615162
ok it's now T.
Good set up so far!
10615295
Thanks, any specific points?
10615296
It's mostly still in the premise stage so I can't say much. Technically it's fine but no much has happened yet, it's mostly an explanation of concepts.
10615298
well thanks for your comment
Seems like every other OC has to have their family die. It's actually kind of hilarious. At least Firestorm's family is all right.
Also, I've never watched Re: Zero, but Wet Nurse and Foal Bearer are definitely Ram and Rem.
10630219
yeah lol! ironically funny.
I've also never watched Re: Zero, but I didn't create the two. Another author did and submitted them. Any viewer could still submit non-competitors, but the chances of them being excepted is lower than for the competitor role as we don't know how many slots of usages we'll be having for them.
10630219
You know, I had that same exact thought when I heard about the twins for the first time. I can't write more than two words without immediately picturing them to look the exact same way.
Is Firestorm gonna be the main focus of the story? Or will it shift over to some-pony else?
10630258
That is unknown for now.
10630219
Sharaz has mentioned that Ram and Rem were their main inspirations
10630495
wait what?
I don’t remember them calling it that.
Ohh. So every single contestant is from a different dimension. This makes interested in how many dimensions there are and what they are like.
Is it only this dimension or other dimensions as well?
Noxxa Clan? Is that their version of The Klue Klux Clan?
I would’ve tried her. Also, why the hell would that even be a job?
I would have poked her even more.
Calling it, now. That’s Cap.
That’s some good math.
Interesting
Why did it say “supposed winner”?
Are we going to learn about the other trials?
There’s no way she killed him.
12 days?
14? Don’t you have to be an adult?
How does that make sense?
P.S: Sorry about the long comment.

(1) It was mentioned at the end of chapter 1 between the host and Firestorm
(2) Yes. The number of dimensions is endless. Some of the competitors have their own backstory, like Brady Bunch's first story, A Rather Large Adventure.
(3) For the sake of argument we'll presume that every dimension is unique to each other by a single variable, so yeah, you could argue for just one or multiple.
(4) Read Brady Bunch's story. They have the most extensive backstory out of them all. Spoilers: The Noxxa Clan are enemies to Firestorm and the Equestrian Crown. They once captured Twilight and severely hurt one of Firestorm's friends. They're barbaric, to say the least.
(5) Intimidation factor I suppose? The way me and my co-writer Emo works is that I create the drafts, and they spin things however they want to. The only reason I could see it being a job if it was for a punishment, but then, IDK what would lead to that punishment.
(6) Poke, poke-poke, poke
(7) Alright
(8) I can agree.
(9) Yeah, it's interesting. Mind giving your opinion why?
(10) Omit the 'supposed' part if you want then to make it a bit easier to understand.
(11) That's an interesting idea.
(12) But they don't know that
(13) It's not a really extreme value.
(14) Then you've definitely not read the book. Due to the rebellion against the capitol, the capitol made it so that two kids from each district would compete from ages 12 to 18. Considering how the movie expands on that you basically have 12+
(15) Ponies don't normally wear clothing
10630787
9. The reason is because this is the 50th trial and she’s the only one that stayed, which means she has to have a reason. Now what that reason is I don’t know.
11. Thanks
12. I feel like it should be obvious, because they are showing tones of gruesome scenes, but not that one.
13. Ohh. So the 12 days isn’t important?
14. I actually haven’t, but thanks for the information.
15. I’m talking about that part about clothes slowing you down.
10630219
Yep, Rem/Ram were the primary basis for them! Another inspiration (this is admittedly an odd one) is the Crimson Twins from G.I. Joe, with the shared feelings of pain/pleasure between them.
Anyhow, nice chapter! Mostly more set up but more intrigue, plus I like the new OC. Nice for Firestorm to have an ally.
Everything is looking good so far!
10723546
What's your favorite part of this story?
Such interesting characters.
10723611
yes
10723550
Mainly how everything is working out, the interdimensional aspect of it, and the characters at large.
10723670
yay. how about funny? What made you laugh?
10723670 10723611
I am extremely glad to hear you guys say that! Every moment While writing I was freaking out because I wasn't sure how the characters would be perceived. Eventually I just decided to go with my gut, since taking two months to work on a chapter ain't exactly what I'd call productive. Promise to work faster next time!
God damn, for what?
I must not have remembered that. Also, there’s soul magic?
I wouldn’t say the nurses.
So that means they must have went through some extreme training.
How would he know that?
Entertainment?
God damn, don’t break the door.
Katana?
Wait, I thought they had to go train first.
Honestly, that’s tempting.
Something tells me he used to be a gambler, because he’s said that twice.
Wow, they really find entertainment in this.
First of the 24?
Arla? Does that stand for something?
Who are they?
I honestly don’t remember that.
I’d still ask a few questions.
Other than “go f*ck yourself”? Nope.
Winged unicorn? Who’s that?
That triggers her?
10725862
(1) Just as a precaution that a competitor doesn't die because of a virus/bacteria that didn't exist in their own world. They can still die if they drink/eat the wrong thing, just they can't die because somebody coughed on them.
(2) It's a theory they're saying, but considering that souls are being used to stabilize the dimension, soul magic/dark magic/necromancy will be the term used for now.
(3) Another theory, but basically everything kind of seems mechanical to the two
(4) That's a possibility.
(5) They're just theorizing. When you're being threatened with the chance of dying you usually think of ideas that might sound good but have some logical flaws. They want a unicorn who could def them and attack the Host, and if there's a device that's being used to open the portals, that the unicorn could learn how to open it using their own magic. There's of course a lot of flaws with their plan, but they're hoping.
(6) Basically
(7) No Doors were harmed during this production... yet.
(8) Silver Chance's weapon.
(9) There's no such thing as 'districts' here. And also everything is connected through the void.
(10) ._.
(11) no, but Emo likes using that line for Firestorm
(12) Yes, like the audience when there's a gladiator fight in the Roman Empire somewhat.
(13) Not all the competitors will be revealed at the same time, look at the authors notes
(14) Yes, it's Firestorm's dimension, or the book where he comes from, which is called A Rather Large Adventure (go check out Brady Bunch's story anyways)
(15) Read ARLA for that info
(16) Again, Read ARLA
(17) Yeah, anybody would, but they don't give him the chance, also he's afraid of doing something wrong.
(18) Oof
(19) .
(20) It's funny to her when people get annoyed by her words, it's not when they join in and appear unphased.
huh. kinda reminds me of a few ideas i use used
10726309
7. Yet?
8. He’s a swordsman or something?
9. But, didn’t they talk about speaking to the last winner?
10. What? It is.
11. Emo?
12. Yikes
13. I did, but I just assumed you would reveal them in groups of four or something.
14-16. Oh ok.
17. Like what?
18. What can I say? I’m just that simple.
19. ?
20. Oh god, then she would hate me.
10726635
(7) probably not. doors won't be broken
(8) no but it's something that he has
(9) This is not the Hunger Games universe. This is basically pulling competitors from different dimensions.
(10) *shrug*
(11) My co writer
(12) ye
(13) ah
(14) :)
(17) Just fear
(18) .
(19) .
(20) oof
10726653
9. So they were watching the hunger games on tv?
11. Ohh.
19. Is silver the winged unicorn?
20. Oh well. YOLO.
10726867
(9) Ink knows about the Hunger Games because in his world (which btw is a Lunar Republic Story) it exists as a movie much like here. Silent Talon also went through the Hunger Games in his own AU.
(10) Yes. He's the best.
(11) Upon second thought either it's talking about Kirouac or it's an error that was never caught
(12) YEET
10726872
9. Ink? Was that her name?
And where did 10 come from.
11. Kirouac? Also, if it is a error, then I’m glad I caught it.
10727012
wait now I am confused
10727015
About what?
10727022
what are you referring to there
10727039
Hold on, let me see if I can find the chapter.
10727064
k
10727067
Found it, I think her name was Beatrix Belladonna. In chapter 2.
