PLEASE READ THIS ENTIRE POST BEFORE ASKING QUESTIONS

The premise of this contest is similar to the movie/manga/novel "Battle Royale," or the currently popular series "The Hunger Games"

This is going to be a THREE ROUND CHALLENGE.
Each challenge will last 1 month!

Challenge 1:

Story:
I felt myself waking, but my eyelids were still too heavy to raise. I felt as if I had fallen from a cliff. I couldn't pinpoint the pain, because my entire body seemed to be throbbing, each part as if to its own rhythm. When I finally ventured to force open my eyes, I found myself on what seemed to be a beach of some sort. The frigid air stung of salt, and I could hear the crashing of waves. As I began to sit up, a credit card shaped object of some sort fell into my lap. Upon picking it up, it began to buzz and then began to play a recorded message: "Welcome to Otaku Island. You have been chosen to participate in a social experiment. You are not alone. There are (X) other participants on this Island with you. Only THREE of you can leave. You are free to use your time on the Island to your liking, but at the end of the week, all those that have not made their way to the top of SunFall Mountain will be blown up along with this Island. In order to assist you, we have equipped you with a backpack including a water bottle, mountain climbing gear, and a random weapon. Although we do not require for you to attack the others on this Island, there will be only THREE allowed on our helicopter at the end of the week. " I stared blankly at the card as the message ended and wasted no time in unzipping my backpack....
