Elite's Gambit

Shizuka_Kenji
Elite’s Gambit In a world where academic hierarchy determines your future, every move is a calculated risk. Kensuke Shizuka was never raised like other kids. Engineered by a scientist to be the perfect human, he sees emotions as distractions, friendships as liabilities, and life as a series of strategic games. But everything begins to change when he's thrown into The Academy, a cutthroat high school where students battle their way up the ranks—Class D to Class A—for prestige, opportunity, and survival. Shizuka's only goal: reach Class A. But his path collides with Mikhailov, a sharp-minded rival who refuses to play by Shizuka’s rules. When a simple test turns into a personal wager, their rivalry sparks a chain of psychological battles, secret manipulations, and betrayals that shake the school’s very foundations. But what happens when the boy who doesn’t believe in emotions starts to feel something? And how far will he go to win in a system built on lies? Welcome to a school where trust is a weakness, and every friendship might just be a pawn in a bigger game.

Playing The Mafia Bride

NOT YOUR REGULAR MAFIA STORY! He continued, interrupting her thoughts, "I can't bore you with the details now. All you need to know is, this is unlike any other role you've ever had to play, and best believe you'll be well paid and taken care of." Claire nodded her head slightly, staring blankly into space. Following another subtle nod from Lucas, Big John left the room, and this time, returned with a sleek leather briefcase which he set down in the middle of the table right in front of Claire. Lucas continued, "I understand your hesitation Claire," his tone reassuring. "But this arrangement is temporary-just for the event, and you'll never hear from me again." Claire didn't like the fact that that statement made her feel a tinge of sadness. "Why me?" She finally asked after gathering her thoughts. Lucas got up from his chair, paced slowly to the near open window and stared out of it at the serene night skies. "Do you remember Dark Chains?" he asked, not looking away from the window. "Uhmm yeah, my first movie, how could I forget?" "Right. You see, towards the end, your character made a statement just as she was about to pull the trigger, she said-" "-'As I do this, I do this for you'," they both said in unison. Lucas turned away from the window to face Claire, who was already staring intently at him. He slowly walked up to her, and when he was directly standing over her, causing Claire to shrink into her seat, he said in a firm, gentle tone, "You're perfect. That's why." Claire, a stunning and talented actress, is unexpectedly thrust into a role far more dangerous than any she has ever played. Hired to act as the wife of the enigmatic and powerful mafia boss, Lucas. As Claire navigates this treacherous new world, she finds that all things aren’t really as they seem, as she discovers truths that test her will and threaten her life.
