Chapter song - Let It Happen - Tame Impala
The clash of metal filled the air as the tournament roared to life. All fifty participants would smash together in a ten-minute all-out brawl, limbs whirling in a furious dance of survival.
There were no rules aside from the elimination rule: Anyone incapacitated, forced to tap out, or rendered unable to continue was eliminated after the timer went off.
They could fight with their specialized weapons, use necessary or extreme force as long as they didn't deal permanent damage.
This event was all about instincts, composure under chaos, and survival. It was akin to a culling, weeding out those who weren't worthy to continue. In a world that celebrated strength and resilience above all, this brutal test of skill spoke volumes about the society's values. It left one to ponder: Does might make right, or is there space for a deeper understanding of what true worthiness entails?
