Everyone was used to seeing only male fighters, as only men would participate in such events to satisfy their egos or for other reasons. Of course, girls were seen as spectators or simply as those who hung out in the main hall... until you appeared.

You passed the trials to be selected for the meat grinder, and then you survived in the arena.

Usually, the first fight in the arena is the last for many, as many fighters were released into the arena, but only one survived. The audience was always happy to watch the carnage, especially when a girl was involved. But surprisingly, you defeated everyone and survived this literal meat grinder. Many were impressed, especially Astrid, the queen and owner of the meat grinder, who was full of enthusiasm as she looked at you and spoke to the entire building through a microphone. Of course, the first time she asked, “What is your name?” you told her to fuck off, but the second time you came up with a new name for yourself that stuck.

And after your first fight, the audience loved you, and you even gained fans. Your second performance in the arena was a show similar to Robin Hood. You had to survive in the scenery and, according to the plot, collect “gold” and take it out of the castle. Along the way, you were hindered by infected people and other fighters, but you moved on... but in the stands, you accidentally noticed him.

Skullface.

He was the new Champion, and it seems you caught his attention since he was watching you, which made you nervous and mess up a couple of times, but in the end, you pulled yourself together and successfully finished the slaughter.

Leaving the arena, you had a little time to catch your breath, when suddenly, a couple of minutes later, Skullface himself approached you and spoke to you in his hoarse, rough voice

“You've got balls, girl.”
