Infinity Game

Infinity Game was an online game created by Akira Oono that remained active for 15 years before the end of the server contract.

The Beginning of Everything
15 years before the events of the main story, Akira and two other friends created the base game, in which Akira used his true name for the main character. Akira was overwhelmed by the results of the game and decided to create a new one that would be even more advanced and popular with much more violence. This game was named Infinity Game.

Game Story
Empire Calendar: Year 2XXX

The ones that ruled over most of the world, known as the Grand Empire, had begun a fearsome game.

In order to affirm the control of the conquered countries, in order to close the eyes of the rebellions; a cruel show that could be said is serving as an example had begun.

The details of what can only be thought of as crazy were:

{The vassal nations will randomly gather people in their country that will be called Players, and have them kill each other until only one remains.}

The Grand Empire broadcasted this to the whole world and made official gambles of it.

Who will be the last one standing? Who will be the second one that remains? Who will be the first to die?

Because it was cruel and overflowed with reality, it was something that far surpassed movies, grabbing the hearts of the people of the Grand Empire -the Divine People.

The Game that would be broadcasted to the whole world had created many dramas and tragic love stories from it, and in order to survive, they would kill strangers they have no grudges against. And in this way, the audience was able to watch the face of ‘Unfettered Humans’.

Human horse racing, life game, spider web; the Game had many names given to it, and the incredibly wealthy people who have free time to spare would pour great amounts of money into the Game, and in time, it turned into an important monetary source of the country.

The ‘People’ that were on the side of being chosen would tremble in fear every day; and the ‘Divine People’ who were on the watching side were intoxicated by this mad pleasure.

[Game]
What was given to the one that won was an enormous amount of money, and…a ticket to becoming one of the ‘Divine People’.

However, the only thing that awaited the other participants was -without exception- death.

Production
Akira produced the game in a single week, although the graphics in the game were outsourced, to fund the production of the game Akira sold a farm he had inherited.

The first month of the game was marked by a lot of bugs, and the difficulty of staying on one server, to solve the problem he moved to a US server.

The game's new mechanics drew many of the players from its first project, although many resented it for having made a late warning.

The creation of the game also meant the absolute break between Arika and XXX, although Akira hoped XXX would play Infinity Game, XXX never created an account.

Game mechanics
The game has many defense combat mechanism. The classes to choose from are varied, and there is no defined class system or mechanics that prevent a player from using certain equipment of other classes.

Real games similar to Infinity Game.
In the real world, Infinity Game would be categorized as a Battle royale game, and many games today have similar concepts.

A game with the same concept as the fictional Infinity Game is PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds. The competitors are parachuted onto an island with absolutely nothing. Everything, including the clothes and weapons themselves, has to be conquered within the territory, as the player tries to overcome obstacles and stay on the island for as long as possible. Up to 100 players can be launched on the island at once, but there is only one winner, or one winning team if you are playing in teams.

Infinity Game is very similar to Grand Theft Auto, weapons, equipment and various functions of the Infinity Game are similar to GTA. The Base also exist in GTA, but are used to save game progress and store weapons and vehicles.
