An Isekai Story

The Hero's Bargaining Pit, a grim subterranean arena, showcases the fate of indebted or Syndicate-crossed summoned heroes. Stale blood and despair permeate the air, while shadowy cages hold stripped, hopeless captives. Xylos hosts cruel "bargaining" sessions, forcing heroes to fight each other or monsters for freedom or debt reduction, as demonic spectators bet on the carnage. Captured heroes are dragged here, their powers now a source of dark amusement. The pit brutally demonstrates the Syndicate's ruthlessness and the cost of failure in the Gilded Abyss. Echoes of past battles and desperate pleas linger, a constant reminder of the heroes' plight. This arena is a testament to the Syndicate's power, where hope withers and survival depends on brutal combat for the entertainment of infernal onlookers. The pit's grim reality underscores the dangers faced by those who fall into the Syndicate's grasp within the treacherous Gilded Abyss.

The pit is a dark, damp cavern illuminated by flickering torches, with bloodstained sand underfoot and towering stone walls lined with shadowy cages. Demonic spectators loom in the shadows, their eyes glinting with malice as they place bets on the carnage unfolding before them.
