It only got louder the further he moved through the tunnel. The volume was reminiscent of those crowds during championship games of national sports.
As he reached the end of the walkway, a light filled his vision before he stepped out.
He covered his eyes momentarily as he was immediately swallowed in the noise of the audience.
"What the…?" He muttered.
Moving his hand away, he saw the colosseum he stepped into; a vast, exuberant structure built of pristine gold. Dazzling crystals were embedded into the walls, with hundreds if not thousands of spectators seated.
In the battlegrounds he stood in, the ground was made up of snow-white sand, stretching far and wide.
"A NEWCOMER HAS ARRIVED! WILL THIS FRESH MEAT BE SQUASHED OR REIGN VICTORIOUS IN HIS DEBUT…? PLACE YOUR BETS!" The announcer's voice boomed.
