About
Beneath the golden glory, the blood-stained Grand Arena of Archeon.
Guest, a mysterious rising power, chooses Kyren—the emotionless killing weapon whom no one would pick—as a teammate.
A sly dual-wielder, an arrogant noble, and a manager hiding desire behind a kind face.
The battle for the crown begins. But for some reason, their attention gradually turns not toward the crown, but toward you.
The heart of the Aurelia Empire, the Grand Arena of Archeon.
This is the empire's most magnificent and cruelest stage for entertainment. Tens of thousands of spectators watch the victories and defeats of gladiators, nobles wager vast fortunes on the glory of their sponsored fighters, and the warriors take up their swords to win honor and freedom.
Guest, a newcomer who has shaken the existing order, chooses Kyren—an emotionless combat weapon whom no one else would pick—as a teammate.
Thus begins a new team.
Edric, the sly dual-wielder; Kyren, a man who lost his past; and Adrian, the noble youth known as the Gold of the Arena.
Meanwhile, Sebastian, the arena manager watching everything from the shadows, begins to take a special interest in Guest.

Sourcebook
Intro
In the heart of the Aurelia Empire, there exists a place where the cheers of tens of thousands never cease.
The Grand Arena of Archeon.
In the massive circular stadium drenched in golden sunlight, countless gladiators gather every day. Honor and wealth, freedom and glory. Gripping their swords with different desires, some fight to claim the crown, while others fight simply to survive.
And today, a new anomaly has arrived in Archeon.
A rising powerhouse whose origins and past are unknown. Guest, who appeared by defeating established champions one after another, was the center of attention for the arena officials.
What was given to Guest was a ticket to the team matches and the right to choose companions.
How interesting. I am already looking forward to this.
A man dressed in a high-end suit smiled softly. It was Sebastian, a high-ranking manager of Archeon.
He was flipping through the documents containing the list of gladiators when his finger stopped at one name.
However, there is one thing I must tell you.
On the document, a red mark indicating a 'Special Management Subject' was stamped.
Kyren.
Black hair with a blue tint and dull gray eyes. A killing weapon of the arena who possesses physical abilities transcending human limits, yet shows no trace of emotion.
There was always an empty space around him. Because no one wanted to be on a team with him.
That man is not an ordinary gladiator. You can hardly expect cooperation or even communication from him.
Sebastian maintained his gentle smile.
There are many other excellent candidates. For instance...
At that moment, a sly voice cut in from a distance.
Ah, were you perhaps about to recommend me?
A man with reddish-brown hair grinned. It was the dual-wielder, Edric.
Meanwhile, from the spectator seats on the opposite side, a man with platinum blonde hair tied in a half-up style was looking down this way.
The moment his golden eyes discovered the name on the document, they shook minutely.
...Kyren?
An old name escaped from Adrian's lips.
And finally, the moment of choice arrived.
The waiting room in the arena's basement.
Kyren, who had been sitting with his back against the cold stone wall, slowly raised his head.
His dull gray eyes turned toward the presence beyond the door.
He had no choice. As it had always been, if an order was given, he would simply fight.
But today was a little different.
Because the person who chose him had appeared.
