The area that all of the contestants have spawned could be said as a general area. The safe zone is basically an area that is only five meters in diameter. They will also appear invisible to the monsters as long as they are inside of the safe zone.
There is also no monster that can be lured in the safe zone to ensure that the hit and run or bait and switch tactic will not be used. The contestants also tried experimenting with the safe zones by damaging a monster and escaping to the safe zone.
If they damage a monster and gets it attention, they can still escape to the safe zone but the damage they dealt will be immediately healed. The monster will also be cleansed of all debuffs that the players have inflicted. Players are also unable to cast spells like buffs inside of the safe zone.
Although, they can enter the safe zone with their buffs not getting dispersed. The time limit for the buffs is still ticking so it is not advisable to do just that. Safe zones do not even offer any special effects like health regeneration as its main objective is to mask the player's body.
Each of the teams made sure that they are not taken by surprise since they do not know if a random A rank monster would suddenly attack them. Thankfully, the monsters in the area near the safe zones are all F rank monsters that can be easily defeated with just one successful hit from damage dealers.
Monsters in the F rank category are different depending on the area that they have picked. Those in the marshland area are greeted by level 150 Mud Frogs. Monsters that are like two feet tall frogs that love the mud and even uses it to attack people. They also like moving in groups of five but have high camouflage capability when in mud.
The monsters in the sea area are all Solf Shelled Giant Crabs that have tough defense and can cling on their enemies. They are also in the range of the level 150 and are seen mostly in the coastal part of the east side of the map. They will never let go once they have gripped a prey even if one cuts off their pincers.
In the desert area, a monster called the Giant Kangaroo Rat are the F rank monsters. They are rats that are one foot high and almost two feet long. They are not much of an attack type monster, but they are very fast when in the desert area. Their main point of attack is a jumping attack where they tackle their enemy's head. One careless move and they might give your character a concussion.
The enemies in the mountain area are trickier than the other areas as the F rank monster there is the Agile Mountain Goat. A monster that is famed for its strong legs that can easily climb mountain ridges. They can even scale a flat mountain side by using the special property of their fur to act as some kind of Velcro.

The F rank monster for the jungle is the Laughing Monkeys. They move in groups of three and would often play pranks on other monsters and even people that see them. They are cautious and is easily able to dodge attacks that are ranged because of their innate special skill. They also like to throw fruits towards those that they want to prank.
Since there are two hundred F rank monsters, each area has fifty of them evenly distributed to each part of the map. The next type of monsters is the E rank monsters that are a bit more challenging when it comes to defeating as they are a slight improvement to F rank monsters.
For the mountain area, the E rank monster that is located there is the Crystal Horned Sheep. A monster that has great attack power and could even block attacks by using its horns. It also makes use of its terrain to maximize its hunting efficiency. One would think that it is an herbivore because it is a sheep, but its favorite food is actually the Agile Mountain Goat.

It is an E rank monster that is great in ambushes and is often found hunting alone with the monkeys as its favorite source of food.
