The gladiator-style battles are set in the titular stadium.

The story focuses on Dae, a former free man but now a slave, and his owner Mia, an 8-year-old girl who enters him in the gladiator games while not fully understanding the consequences of doing so. While preparing for the fight, Mia forgets to attach a special collar that would give her full control of Dae, allowing him free movement while in the ring. During his first fight, Dae's opponent, a girl named Angel, asks him to kill her, but Dae manages to free her without anyone realising what he has done. Angel becomes Mia's pet as well, but with a constant fear that her old master will find out she's still alive and come after her.

The comic features [[DecompressedComic decompressed storytelling]] but is very action based, with artwork inspired by ''{{Bleach}}''. It updates every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. You can [[http://www.tnemrot.com/ read it here]].
