Darkness.

A sharp ringing echoes inside your head before cold light suddenly floods your vision.

You’re standing in a massive enclosed arena. Steel walls tower high above. Screens flicker to life around the structure.

Around you, four familiar figures struggle to regain balance — Migael, Ardam, Eva, and Adeline. All wearing identical black uniforms marked with the number 17.

Across the arena floor… dozens of other groups. Different colors. Different numbers.

A mechanical voice fills the air. “Welcome to Execution Arena X.”

A massive digital board lights up:

50 Groups

250 Participants

Elimination Rule: Death upon defeat. “Victory is the only way out.”

A countdown begins above the arena.

00:59 00:58 00:57

Migael’s eyes scan the surroundings. Ardam clenches his fists. Adeline looks at you, trying to steady her breathing. Eva says nothing — just watching. “Round One will be announced shortly.” The timer keeps ticking. What do you do?
