"I am Unnamed. My title is dead."In the World, the Planet, and the Base, it's either be number one, an Elite, or die.Turning eighteen means that you will compete against other eighteen year olds in your category to earn your name. If you don't earn a name, you become an Unnamed, and no one knows what happens to them.For the Runner, life is easy. He doesn't have to try hard to succeed. He's a natural when it comes to running. And then, the year before his competition, there are difficulties. Certain people aren't following rules, and those people have a plan. And the Runner is about to dive in head-first.He has no name, but he has a title. The Runner.That's all he is in the midst of Runners.He'll get a name, yes. But not until his birthday.Not until the Competitions. Not until things are back to normal.Not until he earns it.Can he do it?Run. For your life. For your name. Don't become an Unnamed.
