Fwish! Ding!
In an instant, the darkness vanished.
Alex and Kaelios hit the ground hard, landing on solid stone after several seconds of silent descent through the endless black void.
The echo of their impact echoed briefly, then faded into silence.
"You there?" Kaelios called out, eyes scanning the space ahead.
Alex didn't respond with words, he just gave a curt nod, his expression tense as his gaze roamed across the terrain around them.
What surrounded them was a vast, circular arena, not just an arena, but a colosseum of unimaginable scale.
Its smooth, polished stone stretched far and wide, easily dwarfing any stadium Alex had ever seen on Earth.
The space was enormous, like three football stadiums stacked together and merged into one singular battlefield.
It wasn't just big, it was built for chaos, movement, and war.
Empty stone seats spiraled around the outer edge, climbing high toward the sky.
But those seats weren't occupied.
No cheers. No movement.
