First Sovereign Game

"The Sovereign Arena is enclosed within a Tier-9 Spatial Preservation and Casualty-Prevention Array," the Overseer explained. "Under these arrays, no participant can suffer permanent death or crippling injury. The moment any combatant receives impact force or magical damage sufficient to be classified as fatal, the spatial array will instantly trigger, projecting them out of the active combat zone and into the automated medical recovery pods."

The Overseer looked into my eyes. "In short, you may execute full-power combat maneuvers without hesitation or restraint. The winning condition for a Sovereign Game is straightforward: successfully eliminate or incapacitate the opposing team's Sovereign. Once the Sovereign is removed from the field, the match instantly concludes."

I nodded, adjusting my collar slightly. "Understood. Simple enough."

"Very well," the Overseer said, stepping back onto his floating platform and ascending into the air above the battlefield.
