Story

World War III nearly destroys the world, but cutting-edge technology prevents a nuclear winter. A century later, the Gauntlet emerges as the ultimate military technology, captivating children around the world. Existing military forces become obsolete, except for the small number of boys and girls capable of becoming Gauntlet Knights.

Although young people are meant to lead their own eras, the story questions whether they are instead game pieces arranged by the crafty and experienced, forced to kill one another. It asks who the pieces and players are, who acts on the players’ behalf, and what each person’s victory conditions might be: peace, war or annihilation. The foretold tragedy may be a scheme or a delusion, the future or reality.

The story also frames tragedy as a game in which the pieces dance within it, while unseen players decide the rules and difficulty. The pieces are told that they are not opponents or players, but exist for the players’ amusement.
