Quinn always kept a close eye on the Territory's Secret Realms—especially the newest one, Doomsday Arena.
This fighting-based Secret Realm, inspired by The King of Fighters, had already been experienced by four to five hundred Adventurers. The feedback was overwhelmingly positive, with almost no negative reviews.
Fast-paced combat.
Fist-to-flesh impact.
Distinct and memorable characters.
All of it easily ignited the Adventurers' passion.
Many were already addicted.

Comparison with Other Secret Realms
Doomsday Arena shared similarities with the competitive mode of Raging Tide, but the latter focused on gun combat, which was already a unique feature of Miracle City.
Even top-tier Adventurers like White Crane Hermit and Bianca (Bihua) occasionally jumped into Raging Tide just for a few rounds of gun battles. Some had even spent nearly a thousand contribution points on weapons.
Doomsday Arena, however, focused on close combat fighting.
While not entirely unique, its quality made it stand out.
---
Why It Works
Other Underground Cities had similar fighting-type Secret Realms.
But none could match this level because:
Nearly 200 unique characters
Balanced gameplay
Distinct fighting styles
Balance was the key.
Without balance, competition becomes meaningless.
---
Quinn's Design Choice
Quinn carefully selected arcade-version character templates instead of lore-based versions.
Why?
Because lore versions were too powerful and unbalanced.
For example:
Kyle Kusanagi and Ian Yagami (Iori) would be far stronger than others in story versions
That would ruin competitive gameplay
By using arcade versions:
✔ All characters remained balanced
✔ Every fighter stayed viable
---
Power Level Design
All characters were set to:
👉 Tier 2 – One Star
This was the perfect level because:
Not too weak → still exciting
Not too strong → still tactical
Balanced → fair fights
---
Future Potential
Quinn knew:
👉 Doomsday Arena would gain a loyal fanbase
It required:
Minimal story updates
Easy expansion
High replay value
---
Sky Axis Corporation Story
To support the arena, Quinn created:
👉 Sky Axis Corporation
A powerful global organization focused on:
Human evolution
Energy research
Ancient god power
---
Season System
Current season based on KOF '97
Final Boss: Orochi (ancient god)
Future plans:
Next season → modified boss like Rugal
Later → artificial humans, enhanced beings, etc.
This created:
✔ Long-term progression
✔ Motivation for players
✔ Endless content updates
---
Rewards and Economy
After observing for 30 minutes, Quinn confirmed:
✔ High contribution point generation
✔ Strong mental energy output
✔ Valuable material production
However:
Drops mainly included premium food & drinks
Very low chance for Essence drops
---
Other Secret Realms Status
Ten Kingdoms Chronicle
Still extremely popular
Bianca and White Crane Hermit continued exploring
No decline despite new content
Raging Tide
Slight drop in popularity
Still held over 50% player share
Remained the most popular
---

Society collapsing
Virus spreading rapidly

Elizabeth was the mastermind
The Mother Nest was in Manhattan
His sister was likely inside

---
Marcus infiltrated:
✔ Eliminated infected enemies
✔ Disguised himself as the tank driver
✔ Took control of the weapon
---
The Battlefield
The infected zone looked horrifying:
Buildings covered in flesh
Blood vessels everywhere
Mutated monsters roaming
Civilization was gone.
Only flesh nests remained.
---
Combat Begins
"Authorize thermobaric fire!"
Marcus fired.
---
Explosion
Silence.
Then—
🔥 Massive fireball
🔥 Shockwave
🔥 Vacuum effect
Hundreds of zombies were instantly vaporized.
---
Weapon Power
One shot = destroys buildings
Burns everything
Creates pressure shockwaves
---
Adventurers watching were stunned.
"This is insane!"
"If this weapon dropped, Miracle City would be unstoppable!"
---
Marcus's Feeling
Inside the tank, he felt like:
👉 A god of destruction
Everything in front of him:
Crumbled
Burned
Disappeared
---
And honestly?
👉 That feeling alone was worth the price of entry.
