The atmosphere in the underground arena grew even denser, charged with anticipation and tension. Fighters from across the realm had gathered for the legendary Top 12 Gauntlet—a brutal tournament where only the strongest, fastest, and most cunning could hope to survive. The audience's roar echoed through the tunnels, an unending wave of excitement that drowned out the tense whispers of the fighters preparing for their next clash.
In this tournament, fighters were ranked not by age—though most were young— but by their legend and prowess. The Legend Rank was reserved for those under 17 who had already made a name for themselves through their extraordinary feats. The Heroic fought mainly between 18 and 30, while the Myth class was composed of over-30 veterans, often shrouded in mystery and legend.
