After reading information about the competition, Highess felt intrigued by it all, but the prize offered was too small compared to before. $50,000 compared to $1 million certainly wasn't very enticing, but once at the top level, it would increase the chances of winning other prizes from different game parties, adding up to more than $1 million.

It was known that game developers were the highest and greatest in the history of the gaming world, so naturally, companies from various categories would be interested in partnering with them. If a player were to win this, they could achieve various things, paving the way to becoming a celebrity.

It sounded absurd, but this was something that excited the players. Moreover, the prizes Highess had previously won had already boosted the game's marketing.

"For the competition, players must defeat each other and become the greatest among all other players! Is this a battle royal? Hmm... so players will play quite hard to survive in a place, and they

    "I never thought you could create a weapon with such incredible power like this!" praised Highess, who didn't know what else to say."Hah... don't joke, I've been making weapons like this for years, but this is one of the best of all my masterpieces!"Indeed, Highess admitted, all of this was the dream of every player who desired an exclusive weapon."Can I try it here?""Don't be foolish, if you try it here, it will surely cause a commotion! You can try it later! I also want to give you something..."Highess fell silent for a moment, he didn't remember that Zendref would make something else, he only wanted the weapon, although there was one armor he wanted to make, but it was expected to take longer."Come with me..."Without asking much, Highess followed, feeling it would be impolite to question what someone else was offering.His feet were led into a small room, where one armor was displayed, having a rather intimidating shape, but it asserted masculinity."What is this?""This is

    "Uussp... hah..." Highess took in the fresh air from the field he had just arrived at after conversing with the Dwarves. His mind was tired from words that carried too deep, now he needed time to rest everything.No, there was no time for him to relax; it was time to prove the strength of the new sword he possessed.He drew out the Chaos Soul Sword, its name striking and gripping, its aura spreading throughout his body instantly.Without much thinking, he lifted the sword and swung it sideways.Swush...A powerful wave occurred, the roar of the wind's waves was astonishing. The force of this attack was even capable of sweeping away whatever was around."So powerful is the effect of this attack, and what was that just now?"That skill was a special ability of the sword, when a force was too emphasized, it would create a surge of energy slashing towards the target.The level of destruction could be measured by how strongly the user swung the sword. Highess had swung the sword forcefully

    One day before the competition or tournament held by the game authorities, those eagerly awaiting it couldn't wait to participate.Players with unique abilities had gathered in large numbers, especially after Highess's victory in the previous competition, and there had been an increase in players from various games. They were not only enticed by the prize money but also wanted to try playing a game from a developer known for its high level of seriousness.Their income had drastically increased, with many players aspiring to become top players to surpass Highess's popularity as the winner of the first competition, and they succeeded. With the existence of a top player system, based on strength and various records, their names could be found on the list of the best top players.Meanwhile, Highess was never interested in showing his face or forcing his abilities to be recognized by others.It sounded great to earn a high income, but with many players playing this game, there was also an

    "Yawn..." Highess woke up like any other day; he wouldn't want to miss the time to savor his coffee on a bright morning."Today is a beautiful day, accompanied by a cup of sweet coffee, and delightful!"Gulp...A sip had passed through his throat, and then his eyes glanced forward. Enough to calm his mind, his body then took a position to recline on the chair he deliberately bought when his back was tired of this life.He lifted his legs onto the chair, lying down, stretching his body with enthusiasm.Slowly his eyelids closed. "Eh..." Unfortunately, his brain just triggered an unintentional memory. He spontaneously woke up, saying, "That's right, today is the time when the competition begins..."Although he understood the current situation, Highess decided to sit back, not too eager for this.After winning a significant prize, he certainly didn't want to think about whether he should participate in the competition or not. He even played the game just to explore the world created by t

    "This is quite troublesome..." Highess shouted within his mind, doing his best to avoid directly confronting other players, especially now having to face a woman.Several times he had encountered women with high emotional levels, and it was very annoying."If I don't surrender it, what will you do?" Highess asked, his gaze dominating."I will hurt you, you better not resist! I don't want to harm you, and leave that bottle, I'll let you go..."She gave a sincere assurance, her eyes even showing a hint of fear quite clearly.Highess completely didn't understand what the player wanted, but if surrendering the bottle could save him, then Highess would release it.He slowly reached for the bottle at his waist, apparently planning to place it on the ground.Tap...However, unexpectedly, Highess made a quick move toward the woman."You shouldn't threaten others with eyes full of pity, because your opponent might be more cruel than you think..."Ting...The swift strike could be held back by

    After doing that, Dartem didn't immediately approach the two players. From a distance, he kept staring and watching the surrounding area."So that's how it is, he's trying to lure other players to approach the corpse so they'll be tempted by the bait that's already been prepared..."With patience, Dartem waited. This was the safest way for him to get the reward. In this situation, there was nothing special to be done, thanks to his hiding skill that could make him disappear, giving him an advantage in this matter."Why do I have to wait here?" It did sound foolish indeed. Highess had been there long enough, for 14 minutes he had just remained silent while waiting for something to happen, but nothing had happened.The bodies of defeated players wouldn't disappear; they were still dead on the spot as proof of their defeat."So this way, every player who commits murder won't be considered a crime; those who do it can repeatedly kill other players..."Once again, Highess had to slap himse

    The ability of that player not only surprised Dartem but also startled Highess. It was very difficult to deflect Dartem's shots, but the player seemed capable of doing so, even positioning themselves alertly to be more cautious."Who attacked me earlier?" asked the player, who turned out to be a woman. She looked around, nothing seemed amiss, just the rustling of the wind shaking the leaves.Dartem once again tried to observe the player, this time ensuring that his shot would be successful.Bang...The shot quickly zoomed, its sound making the player raise her eyebrows.Whoosh...Luckily, she had fast reflexes and managed to dodge the shot, her movement alone providing quite a terrifying surprise."Huh..." She didn't want to linger there and immediately headed towards the building.Dartem's view was obstructed by the building's structure. Feeling frustrated was out of the question, now he didn't know if the player had left or was waiting there. He also shouldn't forget that being a sn

    Miyoko, who had been vigilant, had to increase her alertness even more; she knew that Highess possessed formidable strength.Highess's body remained firm, and he directed his sword to shoot forward very quickly.Ting..."He's coming straight at me?" Not willing to be pushed back, Miyoko began to grow fierce, responding to Highess's attack with a deadly slash.They clashed with considerable force, sword strikes sending sparks flying. They both fought fiercely to give their best resistance."I rarely engage in duels like this; I thought such battles of strength only existed in movie scenes..."Ting...Miyoko jumped back after being pushed back by Highess's great strength, her hands unable to stay still. She watched it all with a worried feeling."As a katana user, you are a tough one..." Miyoko remarked.Contrary to what was said, Highess only considered this as a game. He had even played a specific game that required players to execute complicated moves only through the sword.Once aga

    Grey put on a smile as he observed Highess's reaction in this situation."Indeed, I couldn't possibly let players like you win the competition again." He did feel irritated the game's security system had been breached by someone else, resulting in internal damage, but seeing this turn of events, he couldn't help but feel pleased."How could you, why are you doing this, Miyoko..." Highess uttered softly as his health points continued to decrease."Forgive me, but I won't waste this golden opportunity! I've witnessed directly how you fought against Zegar, and I understand that both of you are impossible to defeat! But I still have a chance, and this is the most appropriate way to defeat you..."Highess's eyebrows furrowed upon hearing all this. "Don't you feel ashamed of doing this? You're just destroying the pride of a samurai, I know that samurai insisted on upholding honesty...""I know, I know that! But, here it's not about upholding the dignity of a samurai, but it's about my own d

    Tings...The Twister Buster is an attack that delivers a double blow, but it's not as easy as that. Right now, Highess facing the opponent is putting up a difficult resistance to withstand. Even now, his strength feels unmatched."I've filled up my energy, but still, this man power is too great, and I can't balance it..."Tings...And, finally, he is thrown back again. His body floats in the air, presented with a beautiful sight."Yes, I understand that facing him is impossible, but still, I want to do it. I can't accept defeat against others..."Thud...His back lands very hard; it's over for Highess for now. He can move freely, but in reality, he could get up and run, but it would be pointless. Zegar's speed is much higher. Surely, he would easily catch Highess and then kill him.Rather than fleeing like a coward, it's better for Highess to fall with the demeanor of a true knight."I am ready to accept my defeat, and at this moment, my struggle as a player will end..." He can smile

    This time the fight that will be carried out has exceeded normal limits

    Highess began to feel overwhelmed, knowing from the start that facing Zegar would be very difficult.Each slash sent shivers down his entire body, however Highess continued to retaliate with his strength, trying to hold on.Ting.....But, there would come a time when it wouldn't last long, after enduring enough attacks, he was startled as Zegar pivoted to add a deadly kick.Highess was thrown back by this event, glaring at Zegar with sharp eyes. Though not entirely surprised by the attack, he was confused by Zegar's seemingly inexhaustible energy."What's happening here? How powerful is this man really?"Since Divine Phantom was used, Zegar's speed and strength had drastically increased. But, he didn't seem tired."Of all the players I've encountered, he's the toughest and most dangerous!" Highess tightened his grip, racing against time. It wouldn't be long before the effects of Sacrifice Buster wore off, and when they did, he wouldn't stand a chance against Zegar.While there was sti

    It seems that to end this, everything must be at stake

    Zegar's body appeared to be thrown back after receiving an attack from Highess, but here he couldn't afford to be proud; there were still many possibilities.It was clear that Zegar was still able to stand."Seriously, won't he still be able to defeat me? He must have accessories that can withstand damage, and he must still have great strength..."It was time for Zegar to bring out an item; he gulped down the contents of a purple bottle, and Highess's eyes widened at the sight.He vividly remembered that purple in this game was synonymous with poison and abnormal enhancements; in other words, it was the power to boost statistics to a certain extent."Don't tell me he just drank an item of terrifying potency? Seriously, am I not going to survive this?" he asked towards the sky which now looked bright."Be happy, during my time playing this game, I rarely act aggressively like this! I'll make you experience a real fight!" he said firmly, and Highess couldn't take it as mere words.The o

    Two People Trying To Find Calm In This Situation

    "The strength that is too high might indeed burden the mind, and I can understand if you're a tough player!"Highess didn't blink, he kept observing Zegar's behavior, which had felt odd since earlier. Clearly, in a fight like this, such actions shouldn't be taken; excessively praising one's opponent would leave a very bad impression, and it was evident in how Highess's mood changed significantly."If I can't do something, I will lose to him! He also seems very calm facing me, in other words, he no longer cares about various things..."Zegar accelerated his steps, starting with one tap, then instantly delivering towards Highess.Tings...Attacks splattered out in the form of high-energy flows, possibly making the entire body feel pressure.Tings...Highess responded with a wide-eyed glare, managing to throw Zegar off balance, and then getting ready for the incoming attack.Tings...Exuding a high-level force, but there seemed to be no sign of fatigue between them. And, they began the f

    Duel For The Winner

    The monsters, after hearing this, immediately assumed a defensive position. Players stood with blank faces against the monsters."Why are there still active players at this early hour?" He remembered the habit of playing games tends to make everyone forget about time; he could understand if the player was experiencing the same, forgetting everything, including sleep time.And, if he saw one player here, then his brain told him there would be three players present; if not him, then it would be either Miyoko or Zegar. However, from the imposing appearance, wearing black armor, with a cold gaze, he could be none other than Zegar.He didn't expect to meet that player here, but it would be a shame to miss the opportunity to see what that player would do.Crash...Instantly, his eyes widened; the five monsters could be defeated very easily, without much effort."Hmmm... so he truly is a highly skilled player..." Highess muttered, noticing his trembling hand for no clear reason."Relax, I am

    Lack of time to think

    Highess then looked ahead and saw the atmosphere was very quiet. It was strange for him to think tat this early hour, he would encounter any players. This time was meant for relaxation, especially since today was the day the competition would end.He quickly checked the competition statistics and couldn't say anything after seeing that only a few players were present."Why is it like this? Did many players go on a killing spree yesterday because I wasn't active? But if that happened, why didn't the points of other players increase much?"Highess's points still remained at the top, while Zegar and Miyoko were still below him, with Miyoko's points not moving at all, remaining stagnant.He remembered the last time they met, wondering how it would be if they met now. Before, he wanted to be seen as a teacher, whatever kind of teacher that meant, but Miyoko was very serious about it."If she meets me, I'm sure she'll be angry..."Their parting seemed somewhat pointless. Highess easily left

    In Circumstances Like These Time is Very Important

    The situation became increasingly unfavorable until the shinobi began to shiver; he understood that fighting Highess one-on-one wouldn't be advantageous. So, he chose to flee instead."Oi..." Highess quickly pursued the player, unwilling to let a player who had attacked him get away so easily.He quickly attempted to chase the man, but he had to admit that his body speed wasn't good enough to catch up."Darn, if only I could have much higher speed, maybe I could catch him..." Highess grumbled, but it was futile; he still had to accept this as his defeat."Huh... that player's movements are incredibly fast; it seems I don't have many options..." As he said this, he indeed didn't have many options left; he had to let go of this incident.Returning to where the players had been, he noticed the bottles owned by the two players. After transferring, he received only 100, which was completely useless. Even hunting fairies directly would have been much better than this."Meh, I tried my best

    "No, don't do this to us..."Crash...The players who had thought they could survive had experienced a terrible event. Lately, players had been ruthlessly hunted by others, but this had become normal. It was clear they would remain targets."W-Why, why are you doing this?" asked a player who had lost his job before. His eyes begged for mercy, but a sword was already stuck in his body. It wouldn't be long until he lost consciousness."It's simple. Players like you are not needed!" replied the player, disdainfully staring at them.As the next day arrived, Highess decided to log in and see what the situation was."Huh..." He was surprised. Right before his eyes, he saw indications the situation had changed drastically. "Changes are happening so quickly. Weren't there around 100 players before? Why are there only 10 left now? Did many players engage in massacres yesterday?"He wasn't surprised by this. It was evident that all players were becoming increasingly panicked. With only three da
