Chapter 62: Push yourself (2/2)

”You didn't think you would get some rest now, did you? While there training outside, we shall train in here.”

****

Dan was currently in a rough part of town. The south side of downtown near the harbour. The area had gotten so bad that the police had decided to give up on it and give the territory to the local gangs. As long as they didn't disturb the public and left things between themselves, then they wouldn't have any problems. They had an understanding.

As Dan walked through the streets there were graffiti markings of the local gangs on the walls, side of buildings, everywhere. People couldn't stop eyeballing Dan as he walked past. Dan looked fresh compared to everyone there and was clearly a person out of place.

Eventually, Dan had reached the outside of an abandoned warehouse. He was stood just outside two big metal doors, on the doors was a graffiti mark of a black wolf. They were two people stood just outside wearing a bandana covering their mouths and holding metal pipes in their hands.

”I'm here to see Kyle?”

The man looked him up and down.

”Go away kid, this place is for Noir members only.”

Dan then lifted up his shirt to reveal a black wolf tattoo just above his crotch. The two members looked at each other and then opened the door.

As Dan entered the abandoned warehouse there were around 40 people inside. in the centre of the warehouse was a crowd of people who had formed a circle. As Dan got closer, he could see two people fighting.

Both of the men were topless and had a tattoo mark of a black wolf on their body. One of the men was bald while the other had long blonde hair up to his waist. Each man looked in top condition with their abs and muscles bulging.

The bald man went for a wild swing, but the blonde man dodged and gave three uppercuts lightning fast to the bald man's stomach. The bald man had spit coming out of his mouth as he was trying to gasp in for air. While the bald man was frozen still, the blonde man pulled his arm back and smashed the bald man's face, blood went flying out from the man's nose onto some of the audience members

Before the bald man's body collapsed to the floor a few of the audience members managed to catch him and take him away. The rest started to chant and cheer.

”Kyle! Kyle! Kyle!”

Dan was currently in the black wolf gang's territory known as Noir. Noir was a well-known gang in the area but not because of their brutality or anything like that. They were known for running the biggest underground fighting ring.

Bare-knuckle fighting. No padded equipment, no nothing. There was just one rule, to win with just your fist.

When Dan was playing the VSW game he hated using the character's skills. Dan had always relied on his body for sporting events and he wanted to do the same in the game. But after watching Ashley and Novis fight he knew he had a lot of catching up to do.

A lot of people thought Dan was naturally gifted at everything, and all though that may be true for his body that wasn't the reason why he always performed better than others. Whenever he tried something new or was interested in something, he went at it at a 100%. This time was no different.

If Dan wanted to avoid using his skills in the game, he needed to become a better fighter and he knew just the right person to ask.

The blonde man Kyle, was currently wiping the sweat off from his face. The crowd quickly collected the earnings from bets and started to disperse. As they did one person stood there still, staring at Kyle. It was Dan.

The blond man's eyes opened wide when he saw Dan standing there.

”Well, well, it's been a long time, hasn't it? What brought you here, Brother?”

Kyle suddenly smiled.
