"Phew."
There are more people than I expected. There are many seats in this stadium. Stadia actually. The arena is split into multiple stages of different sizes and shapes for different types of matches which can be run simultaneously.
You pay 0.2 U coin for a regular seat and 0.5 for a VIP seat. Well, there are technically no 0.2 or 0.5 U coin currency but that is what is charged to your Arena Ticket. I don't know why, but I got two tickets and paid for a VIP seat.
[3 U coins → 1 U coin]
[2 Arena Tickets → 1.3 Arena Tickets]
I paid for a regular seat first but after getting uncomfortable while seating amongst others, I got a VIP one and the previous ticket is non-refundable.
The most interesting matches are the ones fought by teams that have gotten popular in the short time the game has been released. I could wipe them out alone but learning how they fight will get me knowledge to be more effective. I may not need to care right now since I will most likely do 1v1s in the arena butt you never know what may happen outside the arena in future.
"Excuse me Sir. What kind of drink would you like?"
A female voice calls my attention away from a 2V2 matchup between a mage and spearman pair and a dual mage pair. When I look up, I am greeted with pearly blue eyes and blond hair.
"Eli…" I stop there. It's not Elise. But she kind of looks like her. Their skin is similar, but this waitress is slightly taller, and her hair is packed in pigtails. Her lips and aren't as pink and soft-looking as Elise's but she's still beautiful in her own right. "Ahem. Water. Just water will be fine."
"Ok. 1 bottle of water." She hands me a bottle of water out of a cart she's pushing around. "If you need more, please push the blue button on your armrest."
"Sure."
She nods with a smile and keeps on going to the next person.
"Dude. Only water. Really?" The person seated to my left comments. "They have juice and different kinds of wine you know."
I should have gotten a VVIP ticket. But that would be kind of a waste since that would just get me a private booth for only 20 game hours. Every arena seat lasts for 20 hours.
Regular – Congested seating with many people for 20 Hours. (0.2 U coin)
VIP- Spaced out seating with slightly bigger chair for 20 Hours. (0.5 U coin)
VVIP- Private Booth for 20 Hours (0.8 U coin)
"I prefer water." I reply looking away from the departing blond waitress.
"Tch. Boring dude." He looks away from me and back at his screen.
I exhale and turn my attention back at the screen. The match had already ended, and the double mage team won three out of three rounds.
Next to come on stage was a pair of a dual swordsman and a fortress (shield specialist) against a pair of familiar players: a female orc and a green-haired mage. That should be Juliet and Marcus if I'm remembering their names correctly. They struggled against a level 15 cobra back then when they were in a group of four. I wonder how far they have come since then.
On the screen for Team A, we can see their avatar names and average level of the team displayed. The lean-looking dual swordsman with long brunette hair and a stubble is called Francis Girth and the bulky looking…is that a troll? The troll is quite round and huge but he's only slightly shorter than the dual swordsman. He is dressed in bronze armor and holding a big bronze square-shaped shield. He is called H. Wyatt and their average team level is 16.
If the B team hasn't improved since last time, they are goners.
Next, the B team's information is displayed.
The green-haired mage is shown first as Marcus Bane, and he is dressed in a red cloak while the female orc who is identified as Juliet Bane is dressed as she was last time that I saw her, but she got a silver breastplate and a silver helmet. Their team's average level is then displayed on the screen: 16.
"They seem to have improved." I mumble to myself.
2V2 Tag Team. Target: Surrender.
"So, it is a tag team match, and no one dies. The first team to surrender loses. No death? How does that work? What if they refuse to give up?"
"Brother, this must be your first time here." A voice replies to my rhetorical question. Well…it's not entirely rhetorical since I needed an answer, but I didn't direct it at anyone.
"Yes, it is." It's the same guy that commented on me drinking water earlier.
"Very well. If you don't surrender and the game stops you from dying, you begin to loose experience points and levels."
"…I see." Well, I guess that evens things out. It's better to just surrender if things have reached a dead end. If you keep fighting after loosing all your health points (HP), you start to burn your other stats.
Ding. Ding. Ding.
There are three sounds of a bell followed by a loud male voice on the arena saying: "Start."
I hope they don't disappoint me.

Chapter 17 The dual swordsman, Francis stays in the ring while his partner heads out and Juliet the female orc stays in with Marcus stepping out. "Start." The two of them cautiously walk in circles looking for an opening in their opponents. This goes on for about seven seconds before Francis throws the word in his right hand at Juliet's neck before charging at her. She ducks and comes back up with a leap towards her opponent. Whilst in mid-air, she pulls out a club from her inventory and swings it down at him which he blocks with the sword left in his left hand. He manages to parry the strike but staggers a few steps backward. Her strength seems to have overwhelmed him. She dishes out a kick towards his right knee, but he slides his leg backward causing her to miss, hitting the air before landing on the ground forcefully. Before she can retrieve her left leg, he steps on her left foot with his left foot, pining her in place and hitting striking her wa

Chapter 18: Beginning Hand To Hand Combat TrainingTeam B, Marcus and Juliet's team ended up wining the second round and took the victory. I left after their match and started heading west. I couldn't find an opponent that is in my tier so I couldn't participate. The rules state that in 1v1s, none of the competitors should be more than 2 levels higher than their opponent. As for teams, the average level of the teams must have a difference no greater than 1 and the difference between the highest levels on each team should be no greater than 2. Which means, even if I found a teammate with a low enough level to get the team average level to be lower than 21 and equal to our opponents', their team must have someone that's up to level 19.Speaking of which. I am currently fighting a level 19 beast in hand-to-hand combat. I usually just levelled up by staying at a distance with my scythe and the singularity skill but few fist fights.It's a red monkey-like beast with

Chapter 1What do you define love as?Caring for someone? Wanting to be more than friends? Something you feel for someone you want to spend the rest of your life with? How you feel about your family?Can you use the word love to describe the care an owner has for his/her pet? Most will say yes, I think.“I love this pen.” Is that statement wrong? I don’t think so except you want to actually date the pen. Now that is just crazy.At least that’s what I would have said a few months ago.No. I’m not in love with a pen. Yes.

The game took basic characteristics from my IRL form and slammed them on my Devil Elf form. A dark-skinned elf with black slick back-styled hair and a rectangular body type. Nope! The height can’t be changed obviously but let’s make some tweaks. Hair colour from black to white. Hair style from slick back to just long hair. Make it go below my shoulders down to my ribs. Eye colour from green to…I already used blue before. I want to look like a completely different being when I transform. So purple. Body type from rectangular to inverse triangle. Add a little muscle.

Chapter 15: Boom Not Boon For Humanity "Is there any way to tell who is and who isn't?" I ask. "…Hmm." She seems to be in thought. "At the moment, we can only check through the system, which is taking some time to check all the servers but as for regular players? I'm not sure you can differentiate them unless they have their memories. Some of them usually suffer amnesia. And those with their memories are usually freaking out. Some weird ones were slightly happy though. Anyway, all the ones we have found so far have been moved to a separate server." "…" My heart is pounding crazily at the moment. Elise may most likely be a player who has amnesia. Wait. The admin said she was an NPC. "Can the admin tell if a player was sucked in? Is it possible for it to mistake players as NPCs that have gained sentience?" "This…I don't think so. The admins should have records of the NPCs that were generated before the players logged in. So, it should be easy to compare." I sigh in relief. "But, wi

Chapter 14: I'm Not A Real Person "Elise…hello." Why am I panicking? Scratch that. Why shouldn't my heart pound? If she has really realised that she is not real and this world is virtual, how do I appease her? How do I make her come to terms with that? "Real…world?" "You don't have to lie to me. It's fine. I've learnt a lot the past few days while listening to the Admin. She's not a real person either, is she?" "…No." I really didn't think this would happen (her finding out). At least not this fast. "But the fact that you're not real doesn't mean you're insignificant to me." "…" She doesn't respond. I can't tell what the meaning of the expression on her face is, but I thinks she's pouting? I don't know. I might be wrong. I walk over to her and look hr in the eye. "You don't believe me?" "…" "Come on. Please answer. You're making me nervous."

Chapter 13: Harvest Function "Huh?" It dawns on me what this means. With the ever-dwindling food and housing, this is quite good for the real world. Clothing…shelter? Urbanization has mad high-rise buildings really common. The norm even. With the reducing landmass available due to flooding (from global warming), buildings with more floors are a wiser choice since it will accommodate more people with the same piece of land. That's good and all but why am I jumping the gun? Bringing loot to reality? Is that even possible? I know man's technology has grown by leaps and bounds but this concept and be likened to creating something from nothing. Can the in-game stimuli be counted as a form of energy? VR loot as energy convertible to real life objects? I doubt that. Maybe they mean something like, you can bring it out to the real world as a hologram or something. Let's move on for now and try it out when the update is complete. "Thanks for the cake." "Are you leaving?" "Yes…" Why do I f

Chapter 12: Leveling Up By Stalking If I form a party with her, we'll be unstoppable in future. Calm down. Calm down. No need to jump the gun. She may just want to gain power to be independent. I can't force her to form an actual party with me at the moment. I exhale as I concede. "Fine. Just make sure you don't get hurt, ok?" "Of course. I don't want to cause more trouble for you after all." "…Then, let's proceed." *** *** *** We ended up killing our way back from the woods, but I still haven't levelled up. As for her…she probably got stronger. It's still a scary ability that I can't wrap m head around. She could just find the highest in the player food chain and stalk them if they don't form a party with her. Leveling up by stalking. Heh. Sounds like a cool Manhua premise? Well, I am technically one of, if not the player at the top of the food chain in this area. What if she knew that and approached me just because of this? Ah. No. What am I thinking?

Chapter 10: Material Points Maybe he isn't completely sure if he can take me head-on and was learning my strengths and weaknesses. Or maybe he was waiting for me loose some HP. Let's get some distance first, 50 seconds should be enough for complete recovery. I jump back a few metres and then up into a tree to take cover. 3 seconds…10 seconds…30 seconds…50 seconds…1 minute…2 minutes… No movement. I can't see or hear anyone nearby. I jump down from the tree and head in the direction where the sound came from stealthily and carefully. I'm greeted with the smell of blood followed by the sight of a beautiful girl lying motionless on the ground. My senses tell me that she's unconscious, but I am still vigilant as I approach her. She is dressed in a pink dress with a cake symbol on her left chest. Her feet seem to be bruised. Did she loose her footwear on the way? She's lost and is still loosing a lot of blood from her injuries. With such a status effect, she will die since her HP will h
