“Da,” The young lady tapped her father’s back as she pointed at Arthur. "Da, is the Behemoth there, or am I still dreaming?” She asked while her mouth was open wide. “I told ya shouldn’t go to the Plaza! If you did, you would have missed this opportunity of a lifetime! " He said as he walked into the kitchen to prepare dinner. “And get their drinks ready!” He added. The girl then looked at the three men, and as she saw Arthur Behemoth taking off his helmet, her heart started to beat faster than ever before, and she could feel the blood rushing up her face. ‘Get a hold of yourself, Alanna!’ She told herself. ‘Although he looks young, he is probably even older than his dad. And I have to prepare their drinks!’ She thought as she ran back to the kitchen to finish her job. Arthur, Jonathan, and Sun Wukong were unaware of the girl staring at them and were talking amongst themselves. “I would say that it has been a very successful week for us!” Arthur said. “It is indeed. Not only have
Arthur then fell down as his vision became very blurry. “Sigh, as expected, I am still light years away from being as strong as you,” Arthur said. “That's true.” Sun Wukong replied. “And that is why we should head to the 7th-floor gate.” He added. “You want to go there already? It has only been a day since we arrived here. Shouldn't we, like, just rest for a while? " Arthur asked. “We will be staying here for a bit. But we won't be resting. Since we can’t get your armor and weapons repaired to their best condition by meeting the Information Guild engineers now, we will be going to alternatives instead. " Sun Wukong said as he put on his jacket and walked towards the door. “Alright. So where are we going to get my armor repaired?” Arthur asked as Sun Wukong opened the door. “Well, other than human engineers, the dwarves on this floor are very good at repairing weapons and armor, and since the weapons and armor that you have right now aren't S rank items, they should be able to upg
The girl then turned to look at Sun Wukong and Arthur “I will be going back to park the carriage. Since both of you seem to know this place well, I guess you don’t need my help?” Allana asked. “You may return.” Sun Wukong said. Allana then went back, leaving Arthur and Sun Wukong alone. “I thought we were supposed to be fixing my armor and weapons. Why are we in a black market now? " Arthur asked. “First of all, this isn't a black market. This is just where people buy and sell things illegally. " Sun Wukong said. “Isn't that just the same thing???” Arthur asked. “Yes.” Sun Wukong said as he continued walking, looking around. “Follow me.” Sun Wukong said as he walked through the crowd and arrived with Arthur at a place where a dwarf was sitting down and polishing a weapon. The dwarf felt strong shadows covering him, and as he looked up, he saw two men in a cloak and a mask. “What do you want?” The dwarf asked in a rude manner. “Do you fix weapons?” Sun Wukong asked. “Yeah. B
“So they are pretty much just slaves to the loan sharks of this place?” Arthur asked. “Not really," Sun Wukong replied. “They still have some rights. But they will have to be like workers for a certain period of time and do what the loan sharks want them to do to clear their debt.” Sun Wukong added. “That still sounds like slavery. I bet the loan shark would find a way to get around that to make the poor guys their slaves for life. " Arthur said. “Well, the contracts that the people who take loans have are pretty fair and are protected by mana to ensure the safety of the people taking loans, else the Behemoth Guild would have already made an army of slaves.” Sun Wukong replied. “Plus, it is not even in the loansharks' best interest that they get their money back. The people that owe them money are normally nothing but a hassle to have.” He added. "I see..." So the only people who attend these fights are people who are in a lot of debt, right? " Arthur asked. “Not all of them.” Su
The man with the bronze card sat closer to Arthur, “You know, once I win my next fight. I will be promoted to silver rank, so I can proceed to the other brims on the higher floors to compete for better pay. " He said. “That's good,” Arthur replied. “Yeah, it is! I just want to get enough money to get the armor I need to clear the 25th floor. And when I climb as high as the 30th floor, I will retire with all the money that I have saved, marry a good woman, have some children, and die of old age on my bed.” He said. “That's good that you have a plan. I hope you achieve it. " Arthur said. “Well, it's just a dream for now.” The man said. “Anyway, what is your alias?” He asked. “My alias is The Beast,” Arthur said. “What about yours?” He asked “The Beast, huh? Well, considering your muscles, I don't think that it is a stretch to call you a beast. " The man said. “My alias is Black Sun. Nice to meet you. He added. “Nice to meet you too,” Arthur replied. A man suddenly opened a door a
“Hahaha! I expected you to be strong. But I didn't expect you to be that strong! " Black Sun said. Arthur had just finished his fight and was waiting in the waiting room for his next fight. “Anyway, I will have to go now. I’ll see you soon! " Black Sun said as he walked out of the door while waving his hand goodbye to Arthur. Arthur also waved back and looked at the new bronze card that he had just received for winning his first Brim fight. “Beast! Cody! It's time that you both fight each other! " A man shouted. “Alright!” Cody, who was wearing a normal t-shirt and pants, walked up to the man to fight. Arthur also followed and was led to the arena to fight again. The commentator walked into the middle and put his mana-powered microphone near his mouth and started talking. “Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you the 155th fight of the evening! Presenting, the hottest bronze card fighter in the Brim of the day, with 1 win, no losses, and an impressive knockout record of 56 seconds!
“Leave the trash talk for the arena, and don't waste our time!” The staff shouted at Gideon and walked toward the arena. Gideon then walked to the opposite side of the arena and just continued staring at Arthur, and he started to look angry as he was biting on his own teeth, “I will kill you. You filthy animal.” He said as he continued staring at Arthur. Arthur, who was also interested in creating tension to entertain the crowd, started to walk toward Gideon and acted as if he was angry. Gideon, seeing this, ran towards Arthur with his fist ready to punch Arthur. “You want to fight!" Come and fight me like a man! " Arthur shouted as he and Gideon were stopped by the referee. “If both of you stop! I will have no choice but to revoke your bronze card! " The referee shouted. “You will only fight when I say that you can fight!” He shouted again. Although the referee looked stressed, the viewers were enjoying the show. Some of them even started cheering. Arthur and Gideon walked back
“Thank you!” Gideon said as he happily received the money that he worked for and kept it in his inventory. “You're welcome! And uh, if it's okay with you, can I get any information on the guy that I will be fighting in the night? " Arthur asked Gideon. “Oh? You mean the hundredth ranked in the Bronze rankings, right? " Gideon asked. “Yeah, that guy,” Arthur replied. “I have fought against him before. But it didn't end that well for me. Although I did manage to defend against him for a bit, he still managed to beat me down to a pulp. And that guy has no sportsmanship at all! A very arrogant guy, that fellow, but he has the strength to back up the arrogance. " Gideon replied. “Hmm, what about his fighting style?” Arthur asked. “I think he is a normal human from Arth. And the rumor says that he was a nobody in the world that he came from. I heard that the martial arts that he learned originated from one of those Murim worlds. And from my experience, he should be using the crouching
