The Ring: Round One

No one knows what the mystery man looks like. In this futuristic society, all are hooked on watching the deadly games on giant screens against the backdrop of city skyscrapers. Passers-by freeze as they watch players - one after the other - parachute into the Arena only to be killed within seconds, their grizzly deaths broadcast in vivid detail second by second.

Are the players there by their consent? Or have they forced to take part in this vicious battle against evil for the audience's entertainment, part of some mad scientist's bold experiment?
