The Thaumaturge Tournament day had finally arrived, and Sam, along with the rest of the gang, stood before a massive teleportation formation.
Unlike typical formations capable of sending people to various locations, this one was unique – it could only transport them to a single specific place: the Living Forest.
Hidden on a secluded island, the Living Forest had existed since the establishment of Arcane.
Legend had it that the forest possessed a sentient consciousness and would allow only the people of Arcane to enter its domain. Over time, the forest had become a mysterious and foreboding place, deterring all but the bravest from attempting to explore it.
Within the heart of the Living Forest stood the Elemental Colosseum, a colossal arena constructed by the first generation of Mages and Heroes. This mystical structure had the capacity to hold over 100,000 people comfortably, but it was primarily used by Heroes.
