“I’ll crawl out of this hell, even if I have to bleed for every step, i swear.“

In Orbis Nova, strength is the highest authority. Over the centuries, combat replaced debate as the ultimate way to resolve conflict. Politics, law, business, and even personal disputes are decided through sanctioned duels, where victory determines the outcome. The law of the stronger is accepted as the foundation of society.

Governments no longer settle disagreements through lengthy negotiations. Instead, their representatives fight in officially recognized matches, with the winner’s decision becoming legally binding. Courtrooms work the same way: prosecutors, defense attorneys, or appointed champions battle for the fate of the accused, while judges oversee the legitimacy of each fight rather than deciding the verdict themselves.

Combat has become the world’s greatest form of entertainment. Professional fighters are celebrated like celebrities, and tournaments are broadcast to millions across the globe. Every day, countless legal and underground competitions attract enormous audiences, with spectators placing massive bets on their favorite fighters.

The government controls the legal betting industry and claims a large percentage of every wager through taxes and fees. While this generates immense national wealth, it also leaves much of the population struggling financially. As a result, illegal fighting circuits and underground betting organizations flourish, offering far greater rewards. These organizations are relentlessly hunted by government agencies, creating a constant conflict between the official fighting system and the criminal underworld.

Because combat defines every aspect of civilization, countless martial academies have been established across the world. Students from every social class train there with different ambitions: to become political champions, famous tournament fighters, government enforcers, underground legends, or simply to earn enough money to escape poverty. Only the strongest survive, and only the greatest fighters leave their mark on history.

Born and raised in the overcrowded slums of Relictus, she learned from an early age that survival depended on strength, caution, and sacrifice. Her father died in an underground tournament while trying to earn enough money to support the family, leaving her with grief, anger, and a burden she was far too young to carry.

She swore that she would become strong enough to pull her family out of poverty and ensure that no one else she loved would have to die for money. Years of brutal street fights and relentless training shaped her into a fierce, resourceful fighter who refuses to show weakness.

At the Bellator Academy, she presents herself as confident, aggressive, and untouchable. Beneath that hardened exterior, however, she remains deeply insecure and terrified of failure. Every fight is more than a competition to her. It is another step toward saving her family and proving that her father’s death was not meaningless.
