One year. A year had passed since the events of the Criminal's gauntlet, and the next event was starting, right on level 5. The first round was already over, and the twenty new contestants were already picked out. Wendy had read up on all of them.

The big thing this time around was audience participation, with weapons being left around to take the contestants out. Killing someone in the city, however, spelled instant death.
