Kill Count:Live

Death is entertainment. Survival is ranked. And the audience always decides. When Zack is dragged into a live-broadcast survival arena where every kill raises a Threat Index, he learns the truth fast—skill means nothing without attention. Alongside Mel, a woman forged into a living weapon, and Jax, a strategist who understands how narratives turn blood into profit, Zack enters the broadcast as a nobody. In a system where survival depends on fear, votes, and spectacle, obscurity is the first death. The games are designed for cruelty. Popularity decides protection. And viewers never look away. As rankings rise and the system escalates, the broadcast begins to fracture. Because the question was never how to survive. It was how much of themselves they’d lose before the broadcast was done.
