Novel & Cerita Round Table Arena

ZANA’S POV The arena was unrecognizable. I had stood in this space dozens of times over the past weeks — for training, for preliminary rounds, for the maze event that had nearly swallowed me whole — and none of those times had prepared me for what it looked like now. Every seat was filled. Every tier, every platform, every available space packed with bodies — students in house colors, academy staff in formal grey, court nobles in expensive dark fabric, personal guards stationed at intervals around the outer ring like decorative reminders of who held the real power here.

Two days later. 5:30 pm. The Great Arena, Central City. Plane Woede. Candice peeped through the crack of the door. She had opened it just a tiny fraction, so she could see into the vast corridor. This place was the size of a standard Olympic stadium. It could seat a total of a hundred thousand people. She was the item for the great gathering, yet she was confined to a tiny change room, in the enclave of the small outpost that marked the stadium's back office. A small provision of rooms was where all the operations were carried out backstage, before showing it to the public.

I slowly turn in a circle, taking in the arena in its entirety as my pulse quickens. From the entrance, I had thought the place looked large. From the center, it feels enormous. Stone terraces rise in wide circles around the arena floor. Not completely full. Large gaps remain between sections of spectators, a lingering precaution from the plague protocols introduced months ago. Even so, the turnout is staggering. Entire families occupy the terraces. Warriors stand along the upper levels. Several healers in white uniforms are stationed throughout the arena, a visible reminder that despite today's festivities, the plague remains very real.

EVELARA The break ended too quickly. The officials did not allow us the luxury of rest. No long speeches. No gentle warnings. Just a quiet shift in the arena’s atmosphere that told every healer present the truth: this would be the round that broke most of us… The final round that would decide the fate of this competition. When the massive central screen ignited again, the hall dimmed as if the light itself was bowing to what was about to happen. FINAL ROUND: DUAL-TEAM DISASTER RESPONSE. MIRRORED TRAUMA. REAL-TIME OUTCOME SCORING.

Ahn decided to meet Minhu and Jaemin directly at the old mansion. The fight was going to take place in the fighting arena behind Main mansion. This arena was made exactly for such purpose. Unlike the boxing ring and sophisticated highly developed and modern area like at Ahn's place. This arena was designed to hold a fight in a condition which mimics war. The only difference was the presence of seats for the judges, and spectators. The ground was not layered out and was filled with gravel and natural earthen surface. It was a large circle surrounded by sitting area much like how we see in a normal cricket or football stadium.

We stepped out into open air—and noise. The Co‑op Showdown arena took up an entire quadrant of the Game City’s central bowl. Two rings sat side by side, separated by a high wall of glass and shimmering runes. The floor of each ring was a shifting platform—a patchwork of stone slabs, metal grates, and odd architectural fragments - hovering at slightly different heights like a stack of broken level designs Above, holo‑screens hovered, already displaying a split view. LEFT ARENA: PAIRING A – AUTHOR & ESCORT

CALANTHA The day of the tournament had finally arrived. All the participants were dressed in our official uniforms, standing together around the massive circular arena where the first game would take place. The arena looked like something out of an ancient battle—huge, open, and intimidating. There were raised viewing terraces surrounding it, and the main field in the center looked like a stage built for combat. “I think we’ll be fighting our opponents in this space.” I heard Sara say to one of our teammates.

She shifted Malix on her lap. Andrea smiled rather sickly back. The box they were using held Jayems, Rihlia, Jasmine, Andrea and the children. Keilor was down on the field, helping out. It was dusk, and laser torches had been lit, ringing the circular arena in bright flames. The aisles of the seating area were also lit, making the arena look like a sunken wheel with spokes of fire. In the center of the arena was an elevated series of grids shrouded in vines. Andrea blinked, squinting in the torchlight. Had that vine just moved?

And now, the moment everyone has been waiting for! As the commentator's words resounded, the other unrelated contestants exited the field, leaving only two figures behind. The extraordinary safety glass cuboid-enhanced arena, 60 meters wide and 30 meters high, glided to the center of the stadium. The commentator elaborated on the arena's capability to withstand even the most powerful impacts, ensuring the utmost safety while offering an immersive view of the heroic clashes within. Various rules were explained, and the competitors from both sides were introduced with fervor.

Everyone was seen rushing to the arena. After sometime the arena that was made by XScythe which looked quite lavish and had modern architecture from the outside, had all the modern amenities in the inside, in the middle stood a huge ground surrounded by a glass as to shield the watchers from any miss fired spell, and there were over 4 floors of the arena circular in nature and over 150m in height and the entire Arena was spread over 3km on all directions, including the Arena and other enjoyment park and shops before entering inside the Arena. Every seat in the Arena was filled and not just by the locals but also other players who came to witness the beginning of the first ever human held com
