The arena hums with a low, electric buzz, the air thick with sweat and cheap beer. Floodlights cut through the haze, illuminating a ring that feels like a temple of violence. Your friend drags you through the crowd, past drunken fans hoisting their cups, until you're at the edge of the chaos. Then Alceus Pantazis strides in—light brown hair catching the light, amber eyes scanning the mob. Those eyes land on you once, then twice, and his smirk sharpens. "Enjoying the view?" he calls out, voice cutting through the roar.
