[Welcome, Chosens from all worlds, as you already know, this is a challenge. In this challenge, the weak die, and the strong live; in this challenge, the wise succeed, and the foolish perish.]"Ethan and Elfina heard and saw this message almost at the same time; the others saw it this way and placed their focus on it."[The first challenge phase, INFERNO DIMENSION! would begin in 1:00:00]""[Brace yourselves, everyone, for this is going to be a challenge like nothing or something you have faced before. The countdown starts now, but before then, you can rest in the buildings behind you.]"As the system spoke, several houses started appearing behind all of them; the houses appeared so fast that they almost had no time to react or do anything about it.Anyway, it wasn't dangerous."Elfina, let's take this one," Ethan said to Elfina with a smile and pointed to the house behind him; she agreed.But then someone stepped in front of them."I want this one. Both of you, go look for somewhere
Ethan and Elfina gazed upon this chaotic view in front of them, and looking at it filled them with a new purpose: survival.Before they could even move, several other system users made the first move, charging down from the mountaintop at the fiery ground with no fear.Ethan turned to Elfina, knowing that there was no time to waste. "Follow after me," he said and charged down at the fiery ground as well. He was charging at top speed towards the grounds that blasted with hot flames while she followed after him."Elfina, you can use mana to create a shield around your skin, right? Like an extra layer that can protect you from the heat?" Ethan asked as he flew down at top speed, to which she nodded her head and muttered a yes.She chanted, and soon her body started to glow in a pale green light. Ethan nodded his head; at least now he wouldn't have to worry about the heat affecting her body and could focus on fulfilling the goal of the competition for both of them."According to that voic
"You two, you are so weak that I can't even think of fighting in the same arena with both of you. I will kill both of you as fast as I can, maybe I might even be rewarded with points, who knows?" It said to them, confirming their thoughts that it wasn't a monster and was instead a system user like them."Stop spouting nonsense. What are you trying to do, attacking someone sneakily? If you were so strong, why move from behind to attack someone who is occupied with another enemy? Based on logic, you are actually the weakest." Ethan was pissed. If he was a tad bit slow earlier, then he might not have been able to save Elfina from that attack."Frickin hell, hearing weaklings like yourself call me weak makes me wanna puke. I will just kill both of you as fast as I can, and then I can rest assured that no weaklings are participating with me in the contest for glory. Both of you, you don't have any strength; you are just like the rest I killed before now, weak and pathetic."Ethan was surpr
Ethan and Elfina did their very best in the phase that just concluded. They fought with all their might; Ethan used all his strength, and Elfina was more on the magic side than the strength side. She was a great help despite having powers that were only meant for support and defense. She even defeated a hydra herself after discovering the way they fought from Ethan. The phase ended after they slashed the last inferno battle hound.Their vision blackened, and they found themselves in a place with the other system users. This place was pure neon in color; the ground and even the sky were a mix of neon, like a world out of a sci-fi art."Congratulations to all of you who survived the first phase. This proves that you are ready for the other challenges. Those who got themselves killed are nothing but weak, and there is nothing to change that for them. Anyway, here are the top 20 winners, each top 20 is guaranteed a prize."[1. Silver Amon: 1.2M pts][2. Tekkin: 1.2M pts][3. Emerald: 1.1M
Thankfully, this world works on the principle of day and night, he spent the first light in this world identifying the problems and also seeking ways to solve it as fast as he could. Ethan also discovered that it was impossible for him to use magic in this world but it was possible for him to use his exacted strength and also one thing he quickly discovered was that he wasn't able to access anything in his ring. The goal was to solve the problem and build the kingdom with just the stuffs available in the kingdom, that is quite an hassle to be honest but still it was better than nothing. At least he have men that he can trust because they have the interest of the kingdom at heart. They were the peaceful type and they were exceptional wise as well with a good mental health that made it an advantage for him to build the ideas he had with them. At the moment he was in his room, it was a beautiful room, the bed was large and the surrounding was neat. It has a sweet flowery smell and the
"Your highness, the soldiers are ready for battle, all thanks to your training method," Ben and Caleb said to Ethan."That's great, send some of them to the Feral Metal family to bring the weapons I have asked them to make. They made a lot of them, so you should send at least one hundred soldiers to go bring them, alright.""Okay, your highness, we will do as you say." They bowed their heads and left the palace.Soon, the soldiers brought back seven large cannons and placed them outside the palace for Ethan to see. Ethan taught them the way to operate it and many more things they needed to know about it.At the moment, the scene showed a vast battlefield, a plain with no signs of life except the greenery that surrounded it.In this vast battlefield, if one looked from above, they would see a large group of men with one side obviously having more numbers than the other."King Ethan, you have done it again. Your father was a good kid; he didn't even see the need for war and adhered to al
As the chase continued, Ethan's army closed in on the retreating Gelphas forces. The once confident Gelphas soldiers were now in full retreat, their formation shattered, and their morale broken.Ethan, with determination in his eyes, spurred his horse forward, leading the charge. He spotted King Yuan among the fleeing enemies and set his sights on capturing the Gelphas king."King Yuan won't escape this time!" Ethan declared to his fellow soldiers as they closed in on their quarry.King Yuan, realizing that he was being pursued by the relentless Ethan and his cavalry, glanced back in fear. His crown had fallen askew, and his regal armor was smeared with dirt and sweat."Protect the king!" shouted one of the Gelphas generals as he attempted to rally the remaining loyal soldiers.However, the Gelphas soldiers were in disarray, and their attempts to protect their king were feeble compared to the coordinated efforts of Ethan's cavalry.Ethan's spearman on horseback closed in, and with a we
After the battle and victory on Ethan's side, his kingdom began to prosper. The once lonely and quiet kingdom was now filled with the cries and merriment of different families. Those who had been saving their energy by staying indoors so they wouldn't get hungry early were now outside, playing and doing whatever they wanted. It was such a peaceful occurrence.Even though these people were all simulated, Ethan still felt proud of his accomplishment. No matter how one looked at it, he had done a really great job. Not only had he brought joy and peace, but he had also conquered another kingdom that happened to be the same kingdom terrorizing his people, ruling over them like a legendary conqueror.Bluezone Company was destroyed, and all the hazardous waste they had poured on the farmlands was washed off with the special substance that the general brought with him.With the help of that substance, the farmlands became alive again, and farmers returned to work, tilling the ground and sowin
