Chapter 93: The Grand Arena

The competitor's entrance was an architectural marvel, both efficient and stunning. Etched into the imposing archway were symbols and runes, believed to bring luck and valor to all who passed through. Flanking the entrance were two intricately designed columns, each adorned with projections that shifted, displaying various visuals related to the games.

On either side of the entrance stood the holoprojection clerks. These weren't mere holograms; they were advanced AI interfaces designed to interact, gather data, and provide guidance. They emitted a gentle blue light, casting a luminescent glow around their stations. Their forms shifted and changed, adapting to best communicate with each competitor. For a humanoid, they'd manifest as one, but for other beings, their forms would adjust accordingly.
