"Yawn, this match is so boring. I almost fell asleep," sighed the young prince of Drakonia, drawing wide yawns that made the corners of his eyes water. Hassan and Aurora, who were sitting next to him, couldn't help but notice."Is this match really that boring for you, Prince Eligat?" Hassan inquired.Elligat turned towards Hassan, his yellow eyes resembling those of an alligator ready to pounce on its prey at any moment. While Elligat stared at him with the gaze of a young predator, Hassan maintained a relaxed expression and a smile that could be mistaken for one directed at a woman. Though Hassan wasn't particularly fond of women who sought admiration solely for their appearance, her face possessed a natural allure.The auras surrounding the two of them were complete opposites—one akin to a thunderstorm, and the other resembling a flower garden with butterflies fluttering about. Elligat broke eye contact before responding in a despondent tone, "Very... boring. Don't they have better

"Negotiations?"Nash stopped his step when Stevan suddenly proposed the idea. He glanced up and saw that he still had enough time left within the quest time limit to hear what kind of nonsense would come out of Stevan's mouth. "Yes, listen to me first!" shouted Stevan again with a big and forced smile and both of his hands raised up. He really hoped that the mysterious young man would listen to what he said first and not charged at him. It was because Stevan was not a player with active skills. He was more superior with his passive skills and of course he was suitable to be used as bait or trap.Slam!Nash slammed the sword into the ground and supported both of his elbows on the tip of the sword. Nash's body leaned slightly forward. "Okay, I'll hear what negotiation you want. You have one minute..." said Nash, looking at his wrist as if there was a wristwatch on it. "...starting from now."Stevan blinked in surprise when he was only given a minute to speak, but he could not protest w

It had been two hours since Elaine defeated her first three enemies, and now she was just walking aimlessly because she didn't know where to go—or rather, Elaine couldn't distinguish directions very well.Bump!Suddenly, Elaine's feet tripped over something."Eh. What's this?"Apparently, Elaine had tripped over a medium-sized crate that was just lying in the middle of the maze.The girl looked right and left, afraid that this chest belonged to someone else who had deliberately left it there as bait for passing participants, thinking it was a chest filled with treasure.However, Elaine found no one there. Neither a person nor a monster roamed the labyrinth passage area, making the girl even more doubtful if this chest was really a decoy or not."Should I open it?" she asked herself.Then, the girl remembered Nash's words just before the first match started."Remember El. Never approach an ownerless object lying in the street.""Why? Doesn't that mean it has no owner? We should be free

SLASH!Just as Elaine screamed in her heart, begging for help, a sudden figure appeared from above and slashed the Ogre's head one by one. The Ogre's body, separated from its head, fell forward spontaneously, causing a small earthquake. Elaine and Snow were unprepared for such a significant shock and fell together from the sudden shake impact.From above, a mysterious figure descended and slashed the heads of the Ogres that had been chasing Elaine and Snow. The mysterious figure skillfully took down all three Ogres in one swing, showing no signs of a slightest bit of concern. He even stepped on the head of the severed Ogre, jumping in the air before sliding down the wall.Drap! Drap! Drap!The mysterious figure landed perfectly, with the green blood of the now dead Ogres showering on him.Elaine widened her eyes in awe. She had never witnessed someone effortlessly defeat three gigantic Ogres, each three times the size of the one she had vanquished earlier, with just one swing of a swo

"Could I ask for water here?" Elaine handed her leather water bag to the officer on duty at the corner of the Safe Point. The male attendant nodded and took Elaine's water bag without saying much. He filled it up to the brim before giving it back to her."Thank you," Elaine said, bowing her head as a courtesy. However, the officer didn't move and just stood still like a statue. Elaine felt that this was strange, so she quickly left and returned to where Nash and Snow were.The Safe Point was a cube-shaped room with a white interior. It was isolated from the outside world and served as an artificial dimension where even camera drones were forbidden to enter out of respect for the participants' rest. There had been a significant number of participants who had successfully entered this Safe Point. When Elaine had just entered, she was immediately stared at by the other participants who were already in the room. Most of them were injured from the fight, while others seemed fine. The numbe
