An abandoned factory somewhere outside the residential region of the Elysian city-state of Phoenix.
This was a large factory shed, measuring about 300 meters in length and 40 meters wide. There were six pits dug in the ground that served as the battle rings for the underground matches.
Each pit was at a set distance from the other. The audience was allowed to stand around the pits for real-life action. There were also spectral screens getting projected right over the pits that depicted the fights that were unfolding below them.
The abandoned factory was isolated from the rest of the world. To the people who didn't know what the factory was, it would look barren and lifeless. Only after passing through the barrier would one be able to see what was happening inside.
The fights had already started. There was a huge crowd of a wide variety of people. Rankers and mortals both were invited. The ones with money would always be invited anywhere.
