The host hovered low, his eyes gleaming at the massive screen. "The first match is a BATTLE ROYALE AGAINST MONSTERS!"
The stadium erupted in cheers.
"Each academy will send its top five representatives. They will enter the arena, and... randomly, each will be sent to a different simulation zone within the same overall area!" he shouted.
As he spoke, the center of the field began to shift. With a mechanical rumble that vibrated through the air, a massive structure rose from beneath the ground.
It was a cylindrical tower, built from gleaming metal and dark glass. It was incredibly tall, almost reaching the domed ceiling of the colosseum. Dozens of doors were arranged neatly around its circumference.
"Behold, the DUNGEON SIMULATOR!" the host's voice boomed. "The latest masterpiece from the Hunter Association's R&D division!"
He floated closer to one of the doors, giving it a pat.
