The Sky Arena is a gigantic skyscraper, nearly a kilometer tall, with 251 floors. It's the world's premier fighting facility, attracting fighters from all over the world for money, glory, and the chance to prove their skills. The higher the floor, the stronger the opponents and the greater the rewards, and reaching the top levels automatically brings global recognition and high status among professional hunters and fighters.

Fights are one-on-one in a standard ring. Victory is awarded in several cases: by knockout, when the opponent doesn't rise before the count of ten; by voluntary submission; by the opponent falling from the ring; or by the referee's decision if the fighter is unable to continue fighting. The rules permit the use of any weapons and any combat techniques, including hidden abilities. However, killing is formally prohibited, although this is not strictly enforced. Each match is supervised by referees, who can stop the fight in a dangerous situation.

The monetary system is designed so that victory on each floor pays a fixed prize, with the amount increasing with every dozen floors climbed. Additional bonuses can be earned for spectacular fights or for defeating particularly strong opponents—these bonuses often come from sponsors. On the higher floors, fighters sign personal contracts and receive a percentage of the spectators' bets. On the first fifty floors, earnings are modest, but by levels one hundred to one hundred and fifty, the sums become substantial, and fights on floors above two hundred yield multimillion-dollar payouts. Thus, the Sky Arena is simultaneously a sport, a business, and a brutal test of endurance, where each climb demands ever greater skill and courage.

The first stage is a survival marathon. The leader is Satotz, a professional Hunter in a perpetually calm suit. The essence of the stage is a run behind the leader across rough terrain. The distance is not announced in advance and can be 80 kilometers or more, as Satotz stops only when he deems the elimination sufficient. Participants must maintain a steady pace, which Satotz does not slow down on climbs or through swamps. The route passes through Numelle Swamp, home to predators camouflaged as rocks and trees. The leader does not warn of dangers—the examinees must spot threats themselves, based on their surroundings. Satotz does not turn around or wait for stragglers; any stop due to cramping or fatigue automatically results in disqualification. It tests basic physical endurance and the ability to maintain sanity under prolonged, monotonous stress. It also secretly records those who help those who have fallen. While this doesn't directly impact the stage's completion, it can be factored into the final decision. Predators don't attack close groups, so the stage indirectly tests the ability to stick together rather than rush forward at any cost.

The second stage is a culinary competition. There are two hosts with radically different criteria. The first task is led by Bukhara, a huge, fat man, constantly chewing, good-natured, but extremely strict in his assessments. The contestants must roast the entire carcass of a gigantic wild boar, butchering and bleeding the animal right on the hunt site so Bukhara can assess their knowledge of the animal's anatomy. The criteria are taste and quantity. He devours everything served, including bones and entrails, and if the portion seems too small or the dish tastes bad, the contestant fails. The second task is led by Menchi, a petite woman with an eccentric personality, extremely subjective and intolerant of carelessness. She demands that the contestants prepare sushi using local fish, which they must catch themselves in a nearby river. The main criterion is not taste, but perfect appearance and presentation. Each piece of sushi must be exactly the same size and shape, the rice the right texture, and the seaweed neatly arranged. Menchi doesn't even taste the food; she evaluates solely its aesthetics and geometry. If a participant submits anything less than perfect, the dish is rejected. This stage demonstrates to candidates that the exam is not only about practical skills, but also about pleasing an irrational judge with absurdly strict requirements. If all participants fail the task, a retake is scheduled, administered by both examiners together. This is a purely physical test, requiring them to rappel down a ravine where aggressive, human-sized birds nest, steal an egg, and boil it in a boiling spring at the base. There are no subjective criteria here, only the fact that if you boil the egg, you've passed.

Stage Three: The Tower of Serendipity. Chairman Netero personally designed the structure, and observers monitor the groups through monitors. Participants are randomly assigned to groups, and each group enters through its own entrance at the top of the tower. Within 72 hours, they must descend from the summit to the base, passing through a series of test rooms, each testing different qualities. There are rooms with physical traps—pendulums, spikes, and fiery barriers—where any contact can cause a fall to the lower level and a loss of time. There are also rooms with logic puzzles where the player must choose the correct path, and an incorrect choice can cost the group ten hours. A separate category is voting rooms, where the group must make a collective decision by majority vote, for example, choosing the left or right corridor, and here every vote affects the fate of the entire group. There's also a type of room that could be called a time trial—for example, a huge mechanical door slowly closes, and you have to run through it before it slams shut. Those who are late are cut off from the group and trapped in a dungeon with a separate exit, with no way to return to the others. The most challenging room, psychologically speaking, is the Sacrifice Room, where the passage opens only if one participant voluntarily presses the "denial" button, ostensibly forfeiting their license. In reality, the button simply activates an alternate route, and the participants are unaware of this. The group can split up at any stage, but the return route is blocked, so they can't return and help those who are left behind. The entire stage tests not so much physical strength as adaptability, logic, the ability to negotiate with strangers, and the ability to make quick decisions under pressure, where every wrong move can cost the entire group their passage.

Stage Four: The Hunt on Zebil Island. The exam is organized by the exam headquarters, which issues start cards and maintains video surveillance, but does not interfere with the process itself. All surviving participants are dropped off on a closed island, where they will spend seven days. Each participant receives a unique numbered badge assigned to them in the system, and a card with the number of another participant—their target. The scoring rules are designed to encourage not only aggression but also strategic thinking. Your own badge is worth three points if it remains with the owner. The badge of the designated target also earns three points if the participant manages to take it. Any other badge of another participant is worth one point. To pass the stage, you need to score at least six points. The minimum strategy is to keep your badge and get the target's badge, or to collect any three other participants' badges. If a participant's own badge is taken, they lose three points, and these points are transferred to the person who took it. An important detail: killing the target is strictly prohibited, and if the target dies, their badge is cancelled and no longer awards points. So, killing not only deprives the hunter of the opportunity to earn three points but can also leave the hunter without a chance of completing the game. Badges cannot be counterfeited, as each has a unique serial number, but the rules allow for voluntary exchanges; for example, a participant can agree to exchange their badge for something else, and this is not considered a violation. A participant can hide a badge in an inaccessible place, such as burying it, but then they risk losing it or forgetting where they buried it. If two people simultaneously take badges from each other, they both lose their own and receive one point for the other's, creating risky trade-off situations. Headquarters monitors everything via cameras but does not intervene even in the event of obvious violations, recording only the actual results. This stage tests strategic planning, the ability to hide, choose the right moment to attack, and defend one's own.

The fifth stage is a tournament to verbal surrender. The head judge is Chairman Netero, who personally oversees each fight from a raised platform. The remaining participants engage in a series of one-on-one duels in a standard arena. The main rule is that killing an opponent is prohibited; doing so results in immediate disqualification with no right to a rematch. Victory is only counted when the loser verbally utters a surrender phrase, such as "I surrender" or "I lose." However, loss of consciousness, broken limbs, broken teeth, or a knockout do not count as a defeat—the fight continues until one participant voluntarily and clearly utters these words. If a participant loses consciousness, Netero waits five minutes, and if they do not regain consciousness, victory is technically awarded to the uninhibited opponent, but it does not count as a full victory, as there was no confession. The only prohibited attacks are strikes to the neck, which could cause spinal fractures, and the use of weapons of mass destruction, such as explosives or poisons. Otherwise, virtually anything is permitted, including breaking limbs and long, grueling fights with no time limit—there have been cases where matches have lasted over twelve hours without Netero intervening. The tournament bracket is designed so that the strong face the strong in the late stages, and the weak face each other in the early stages, giving everyone a chance to prove themselves, even if they're not in the top pair. Netero evaluates not the candidate's striking technique, but rather their psychological readiness—whether they're able to accept defeat for the sake of the future, or are they willing to endure pain to the last without losing their dignity. If the rules are violated, Netero immediately intervenes and removes the offender. At the end of the tournament, the required number of winners is recorded, although the number of licenses awarded is not fixed and depends on the quality of the candidates in the current year. In the case of marginal results, Netero may summon the candidate for a private interview, where he asks one or two questions about their motivation.
