“The Duel, won by Spike the Iron Fist!” The commentator announced Spike’s victory with great enthusiasm. The spectators who saw it also cheered excitedly, creating chaos in the arena of the battle.
Meanwhile, Spike looked down at his new iron arm. He felt a power that was truly extraordinary flooding his body now. The power he had never felt before.
What’s this? Is this arm man-made? My strength is truly beyond reason.
Spike drew closer to the monster he had just hit. He saw that the body as well as all the areas of the arena around the monster were completely destroyed, as if it had been hit by something very fast and strong.
“I have already won this fight. Quickly get me out of here!” Spike started screaming, thinking his task was over. However, he saw that the gate, which was the only way out for him to get out of the arena had not been lifted.
“Win? Ahahahahah! Sorry, Spike the Iron Fist, you haven’t won this fight yet. Now, let’s start the next fight!” replied the commentator who clearly heard the order from Spike.
The gate started to open. Spike thought that was the gate for him to get out, but it wasn’t. Something that appeared there would pounce on him.
“Let’s welcome, The Gorlocks!”
It wasn’t just one Gorlock running in the arena now, but 3 Gorlocks who had the same size and strength as before. There were no other choices for Spike other than to fight them again right now.
“Are you crazy?! I’ve beaten it before. Do you want me to beat them again?” Spike protested in annoyance.
However, the Commentator wasn’t paying attention to Spike’s ramblings. He immediately started the duel between Spike and the monster again.
“Okay, then let’s just start this match right now, The Duel!”
Simultaneously, The Gorlocks ran after Spike’s body. The fighter dodged every attack from The Gorlocks. Jump, run, roll, he did it all.
Until finally Spike found a gap to hit one of them.
“Take this!”
Spike’s arms heated up as he attempted a punch, and it turned out that the punch hit one of the Gorlocks really hard. The monster was sent backwards until it crashed into a wall in the arena. Spike smirked in satisfaction.
However, Spike had forgotten that two other Gorlocks were still nearby. His head was hit, and the man’s body was thrown away by the blows of the Gorlocks. Even Spike’s body was made like a baseball that was hit one after the other.
He looked at his enemies with a glare. Blood and bruises filled Spike’s face now. His mouth dyed black with teeth that had begun to fall out from the previous blow.
I can’t die now…
The spectator cheered at seeing Spike who was having a hard time fighting the monsters. Spike was wrong. He thought the spectator was defending him, but no, they were happy to see him lose with so many wounds on his body.
[Prisoner #404 health was low. Extra health and critical damage have been granted ]
Suddenly, Spike’s injuries disappeared a little. He still felt the pain he had suffered, but he could stand straight to attack the Gorlocks again now.
The Gorlocks pounced on him. They weren’t stupid creatures. They knew that Spike couldn’t do much right now, so they showed off one of their ultimate techniques.
“Gorlock Smash!”
“Ohh… The Gorlocks released their ultimate move. Can Spike survive the attack?” exclaimed the commentator to the spectator.
The Gorlocks slammed their clubs down. The ground was shaking violently, and Spike stuck between the cracked ground. The man had no way of escaping after being trapped there.
Spike looked up. The two remaining Gorlocks jumped at him. It was impossible for him to dodge the attack anymore. Their gigantic bodies were impossible for Spike to withstand even with his amazing iron arm.
[ Cybernetic Nano-Tech Arm Special Ability has been unlocked ]
[ Hardened Wall : every time the user takes the damage, the user can keep that damage to be returned back to his opponent. The amount of damage that can be stored and expended will increase each time ]
Blue light came out of Spike’s arm. There was no other choice because he also couldn’t do much right now. Spike immediately hit the two Gorlocks using his newly acquired ability.
“Take this, you bastard!!”
***
30 minutes had passed. Approximately 30 Gorlocks had been defeated by Spike. His body was numb, enduring the pain from every Gorlock’s attacks he had faced.
In front of the gate, there were still some Gorlocks who had come to fight with him again. It seemed their numbers were unlimited. Spike didn’t know how long he had to fight them.
His iron arm was already starting to reach its limit. It smoked and gave off some horrible sparks. If his iron arm was broken, then there was no hope for him to fight again.
He would probably die miserably in this arena.
“Come here! Let me destroy each and every one of you!”
There were 15 Gorlocks before him now. Spike’s energy was running out. His words just now might just be the last words before he really died.
“Okay, here we are. The Gorlocks have come. Can Spike The Iron Fist survive?”
***
Spike’s body was slumped on the ground, while the corpses of the Gorlocks were strewn around as well. His own body was covered in the blood of the monsters he had defeated.
“It’s amazing. Spike The Iron Fist managed to beat more than 40 Gorlocks with just his bare hands. Is this a sign of the birth of a new Champion in this place?”
Spike’s hearing and consciousness slowly faded away, but he could feel that someone was lifting his body right now. His hand was raised up, followed by the spectator’s cheers that were ringing so loud in his ears.
Just for a moment, Spike smiled with relief. He didn’t believe that he could make it this far.
But suddenly, something stabbed his body from behind. A sharp object that felt cold when it finally managed to stab him deeper.
“Unfortunately, Spike Bretman, your life will end here. You have violated the rules of today’s duel. No one is allowed to live in this arena…”
Spike’s breath hitched. He didn’t know who stabbed him, he didn’t know why they stabbed him, he didn’t know where he was, and he didn’t know why he was in this place.
[ 20,000 credit has been accumulated into the Prisoner #404 account ]
[ Prisoner #404’s heart rate was low. Commencing Lazarus Protocol ]
Even at the end of his life, Spike died with a lot of questions on his head…
A loud buzzing sound could be heard painfully in his ears. His heart was beating faster and faster after being silent for the entire time. At that moment, Spike’s consciousness began to return. A consciousness he thought he would never get again.Spike woke up in a dark room. He couldn’t move his body at all. There was something holding him so that he couldn’t move freely. When he tried to move his legs, he found that all parts of his body were restrained by chains.Spike remembered the last incident that happened to him. He had successfully fought a horde of monsters, then he was stabbed by something in the back.Spike was supposedly dead by now. However, with what he had experienced previously, he believed that this place was able to do unimaginable things.“You guys over there! Quickly, get me out of here!” Spike shouted loudly, even though he had no idea who was in the room.Although he was tied up, Spike was still able to turn his head. He then realized that his iron right arm wa
A few months earlierWater was flooded in between narrow alleys. The young man in the dragon-patterned suit walks in there smoking cigarettes in his mouth. He was now only accompanied by a quiet and wistful feeling accompanied by the raindrops surrounding him.The black gloves that he wore turned red. He was already uncomfortable wearing dirty gloves because of the blood of those pricks who got in his way."Spike! Don't expect you to pass us just like that!..." Said one of the battered men sprawled on the ground.That guy named Spike didn't look at those men. He just kicked the prick's stomach so hard he couldn't lose consciousness.“Huh…Can't I start my work with a clean sheet without one of my clothes getting dirty?" Spike asked himself.Now he's standing in front of a remote karaoke place between the gangs. In front of him is a big neon sign that writes "first sin"Spike tried to get through one of the glass doors. But before that, he looked back.He saw dozens or even hundreds of
Spike just woke up. There was an impenetrable iron wall Around him again . He looked at his arm again, the iron arm attached again that he had previously used to fight horrible monsters in the arena of death.Slowly, Spike was able to bring back memories of himself. Spike knew that in the past he was a ruthless, heartless gangster who had no mercy on his enemies. Spike feels that his being here is payment for what he did in the past. A KarmaWith the body feeling so weak, Spike tried to run in front of the cell gate he was in, screaming trying to get out of the place."Hey! Whoever's in there! Quickly get me out of this place!"Spike hit the gate with his iron fist, repeatedly with enormous force. It's just the weird thing is his iron arm didn't work the way he did against the gorlocks. The iron hand is so weak and has no power at all."Stupid hand! You can fight those monsters, but you can't break this rust! Hurry up and do your job properly!" Spike yelled loudly at his own arm.No o
In front of Spike, it turned out to be just a narrow, dark passage. There was no guard standing in front or even a CCTV camera to monitor it. Spike's expectations were too high, he thought the prison was too tight. But knowing this, Spike felt like he could slip away easily.To the left of Spike's cell is an empty room. Spike can even open the room easily. And of course, there was no one in the room."Hey… What were you doing in that room?"Spike's in shock, someone caught him breaking into that room. The spikes ran like hell. He feared it was a guards and was caught by him. Spike hasn't even had time to see who's behind him.The passageway it runs turns out to be quite long, with the curve around it more and more. It's as if this passage is just an incredibly large circular route. But then there was an open wall, and the spikes looked down there."Wait. Isn't that where I fought the Gorlocks before?" Spike just realized that this hallway is where the crowd cheered him on as he fough
"Yes, Hudson, the man with glasses also said that the arena where I had fought before was my execution. And yet I still wondered why I was alive. I've felt a sharp object enter my heart."When Spike tried to explain the matter, the gate in front of them was opened. And there, they're not alone.There's a lot of people in orange jumpsuit that look like they've both been there and they're staring at Spike like crazy. It's as if seeing Spike like a ghost.Spike doesn't know any of them even though he believes they're top-notch criminals. Their diverse body shapes and distances from normal human words have made him more convinced that there is something wrong with this place."Keep on walking, you can't deal with them now…" Whispered silver quietly.They went to a large canteen yard with neatly lined tables and chairs.At each end of the table are numerous guard robots with weapons in their hands. Finally, Spike feels something familiar in this place. This is the same as the typical priso
Silver and spike are in the atrium. That place is a section that looks different from anywhere else in the prison. There are so many ornaments and beautifully crafted things here like a place to relax.They were at the end of the room, a balcony with a boundary of railing and clear glass. They can both see the arena Spike was fighting before from there."What are we doing here? If you think this place is any safer, take a look! There are still many machine-brain guards here!""No, I didn't bring you here because I took you away from the guards, I'm trying to keep the scum and those inmate out of your sight." Point silver at the people in the orange jumpsuits."You may have learned your lesson in the underworld. If you can't trust anyone, maybe even yourself. And that, applies in this place of distinction"Spike muttered, answering Silver. "What did I do wrong? I'm still holding on to it. The scum took my food without permission. And shouldn't I be hitting them?" Silver breathed his b
Silvers felt that Spike would really be lured by Borg's offer, so he rushed over to take the man's hand and asked him out of the place right now. "You shouldn't agree with them, Spike….""Yes… You don't have to accept it. But I need to know how much of a coward you really are."Spike turned around to hold Borg's neck with great threat. Borg followers are certainly on the alert, they don't want to make any noise at all, much less under the guards' surveillance now. No one knows what might happen when Spike gets really mad."Silent… If you're going to say those words again… cowards… Then I'll make your head stick to the ground."Borg didn't feel threatened at all, he smiled in amazement at Spike's reaction to such bravery. He stretches his arms out to get his men to behave themselves right now."Hahahaha… Even when we first met. You’re amused me. Then why don't we start the duel today?""Spike! Stop that! You're still weak!" Silver said, trying to break."I will not stand idly by as my
Silver and spike are rushing to the window to see what's going on right now. two men face each other, about to fight right now. In the meantime, the prisoners also watched in joyful cheering. Spike understands now why they had such a reaction. It was only there in the arena that they had so much fun. Entertainment that doesn't make it has them lose their life. "Silver, do you know them?" "Of course, I knew him. Their battles are already inevitable. They're in the same gang. The Chain. Otto is in 21st place, 32 is named Hunn” "Hey! I look forward to their fight!" Suddenly someone is slipping past Spike right now. like all the others, he was excited about the fight that was going on there. "Whoever wins this fight will make The Chain theirs! The power of a gang that size is sure to be a worthy struggle. Even if I can afford to fight them both and take it!" Said the man again. "Uh, sorry. Who are you? "Spike asked someone who felt that he was talking too much. "Oh yes. I'm Vahn,
All the clamor and also the noise from the prison was over. Spike has finished all his grudges and anger by now.There was nothing left but a large gate in front of him, the one that had just opened and that he was about to enter. Starting his new life who knows how long he is trapped in this prison.Bonnie, who was still on Spike's shoulder, said something to the master."Spikes, sorry. But I can't seem to follow you to get in there…” Bonnie said to Spike."Why can't you come in? Aren't we bound and you promised to follow me?" Spike asked Bonnie."Yes. But my contract is only if you have completed all your missions in this prison. And since you've done it, there's no more reason for me to stay here with you. I have no reason to stay with you…” Bonnie said to Spike."Wait Bonnie. If that's the case. Can't you be by my side a little longer now! I need-"Bonnie's body slowly disappears turning into dust. Bonnie just smiled and made sure that her current self would always remember Spike'
Only Larion, Spike, and Silver are left in this arena. The grand battle that determines who is the strongest figure in the prison.Without anyone there, Larion intended to tackle Silver first using his bone's increased abilities drastically before he entered this prison.He dashed towards Silver and stabbed the long haired man with his weapon."Die you bastard! You have no place in this prison!” Larion shouted at Silver.Spike only saw Larion's figure from afar, he didn't want to disturb Larion who was carrying out his action.Until finally all the ground that Larion stepped on turned into a collection of bones and skulls at this time. All of that land became a difficult place for Silver to be able to stand on his own.And all the skulls target one goal, namely Silver who is there.“Mere brittle bones will not be able to win you over against me. Come here, I will show you what true power is!”In an instant, Silver turned all of Larion's bones into dust that scattered on the ground.Si

In fact, he can no longer use his jackpot skills to get new abilities.Alex repeatedly spins the power roulette from the Jackpot, over and over again Alex doesn't get any power from there. Alex had really become an ordinary man now.Likewise with Gervais. His contract with the demon Lucifer has expired and can no longer be used as strength.In the end, Gervais had to use his bare hands again to survive and fight against Alex who was in front of him.The contract between Gervais and the demon Lucifer is a contract that requires Gervais to be the strongest person where he is so that the devil can survive.However, due to his battered state and being unable to even use his strength, Lucifer came out of Alex's body itself.One of the reasons why Gervais was able to take on so many of the powers of the other prisoners in this prison was because of Lucifer's own power.The basis of her powers is to have a
“You said you were able to withstand all the power I had. Look at your condition now. Why did you even lose to a gambler?” Said someone in a very, very low tone towards Gervais now.“I still haven't lost! I still deserve your power!” Gervais replied to the figure full of darkness.“Humans are figures that can never be relied upon. I think you forgot the reason why I gave you this power. You may forget what I have sacrificed so you have to do this all alone…” replied the voice again.“I told you. I still haven't lost! If you don't believe it, I'll show it to you in person right now!”“Do you know the original agreement we set up at the beginning?” said the figure.“I've never forgotten it. That agreement is something that can keep me breathing and trying to struggle to live like now. I'll never be able to forget it just like that…”"Excuse me. But unfortunately, you have indeed forgotten it. You forgot our agreement at the beginning. And it seems I need to do something for you right no
The real fierce battle between the two strongest prisoners had just begun.Both Gervais and also Alex were preparing their respective fatal attacks towards the enemy in front of him right now. It doesn't stop there, their goal, of course, is to annihilate the enemy before their eyes.He will make the best use of Alex's midas hand skills so he can fight Gervais without any regrets at all.Meanwhile, Gervais himself using his demonic form had not been able to put up a serious fight against Alex who was in front of him right now.They were running at each other now, trying to finish each other off.Punch after punch was thrown towards the body of each enemy, hoping that the blow would later be hit and provide a distinct advantage for them.Until finally Alex stepped back and issued one of his ultimate moves.[Golden Tower skill has been activated][Skill: User can summon a golden tower that helps him against enemies and detects where his enemy will go far in the future]With this skill,
Seeing Jamie's figure there, Alex immediately summoned so many of his Bodyguards simultaneously. Alex didn't know who Jamie came to his room with because it could be that Jamie had managed to wipe out everyone in his office building.Just like when Alex met Jamie, the man whose face looked very old now showed Alex so many files.Lots of secret files or documents on Alex's desk right now. And all of that is related to the Low-Hats entity itself.Like how their business works, how they get a lot of money, and also what businesses they touch so that they get the strength they are today.If someone were to be found walking around with a file like this in the eyes of the Low-Hats, the possibility of the harm they would cause would be enormous.And Jamie, somehow had the nerve to give Alex so many of these documents. Either Jamie has been kicked out of the Low-Hats or Alex will soon fall into the Low-Hats trap himself if he insists on getting into it.Whatever the reason, Jamie was acting v
At the age of 16, Alex Chinos had to spend 5 years of his life in prison. Wasting his youth in an iron cell with criminals and other assholes.For some people, prison may be a place where someone will change for the better and can change after serving a prison term. But for Alex, prison is not that kind of place.During his youth in prison, there was not a single good memory that he could remember from those days. The other inmates in the prison treated him like trash.They beat, insulted, or even sodomized Alex who was still young at that time.For him, prison is a little hell on earth.Having no one in the outside world, Alex thought that he might still have hope after breaking out of that prison. Join the Low-Hats and be a part of the organization for having sacrificed for them.But in just those 5 years, a lot has changed for the underworld.At the age of 21, Alex is free from prison. He just went straight to the Low-Hats headquarters hoping one of them would recognize him and woul
A few years ago. Before the Battleborn prison was builtLiving on the streets that are dirty and unknown to anyone is a challenge in itself for a poor child who has to think about his own fate every day.Living on the streets also meant that something could easily take his life. Without looking at or caring whose life fate took it.Including young people who are currently under police guard.His hands were bound by handcuffs while he looked down in embarrassment because many people around him saw him.Heavy police escorts surrounded him as if he were a high-profile criminal king who deserved punishment and also the judgment of so many people.Maybe some people think that the crime he committed is a small crime, but some others might also think that he has been trapped by his own fate.The boy, named Alex Chinos, was arrested when he was caught distributing drugs at his own school at the age of 15.“Chinos” isn't his real name, but a nickname he got while selling the drug.Because indee
Thanks to Gervais's powerful punch, a quarter of the arena where the prisoners were fighting was now destroyed. But instead of making the arena a place where prisoners could have the possibility of escaping, the destruction of the arena made it completely unusable.Just an emptiness and emptiness. There really is nothing there.But after Gervais took that shot. The skill that allowed Alex to become invulnerable and not take any hits or damage at all has now run out.If there isn't enough time to activate his next Jackpot skill, Alex might become Gervais' target soon enough.With such high speed, Alex was immediately running in the opposite direction from the Gervais now. Trying to avoid Gervais because he might lose because of the demon's prisoner skill.Gervais's army of demons were not silent. Seeing that opportunity, he immediately ran after it without stopping even though Alex's speed was beyond reason.Alex sees Oxhead there who manages to beat one of the prisoners in the arena.H
