Arena Circus

Current version: 4.7

A visual novel set in a fantasy world where appearance is everything and humans are at the bottom of the totem pole. Aldrich and Lilié are trying to battle their way to the top of a world that looks down on them—and soon it will become far more than just a matter of pride.

In this universe physically superior beings knowns as reavers rule over high society and have established a strict caste system, with humans at the bottom. In order to have any sort of nice lifestyle the humans seek out strong reavers and allow themselves to be bonded 
as a Harlequin. Some humans are used as servants, jesters, pleasure slaves, but most are forced to duel in arena-styled tournaments.
