259 Huge Discovery by TinyMeatball (1/2)
The Teleport Portal flashed with brilliance, and Dragonborn found himself standing on empty ground.
He was half-naked, and the surroundings were bare. There were a few rows of houses in the distance.
Though Dragonborn hadn't played any Sole Survivor kind of games, he had seen them previously. He would have heard about such an exhilarating game even if he hadn't tried it before.
Dragonborn surveyed the environment. After ensuring there was nobody, he ran towards the houses.
Before he ran for long, he came up to a small slope and saw two other gamers running to the houses and beating each other violently with their fists.
However, the damage of fists was limited. Nobody was a master in martial arts. There was a large difference between wielding a weapon and not.
Dragonborn didn't care about them. He dashed into one of the houses and used his body to bash open the door. He knocked into another gamer and lifted his head to observe. It was a Gnome from the Guild FriendlyLiloAlliance. He hadn't heard the name before, and it looked suspiciously criminal.
”Holy cow!”
That Gnome, who was wearing tight pants, held a Short Sword. After being knocked into by Dragonborn, he cursed at Dragonborn and stabbed him with the Short Sword.
Dragonborn didn't have any weapons. He collided with the Gnome and felt the sword slash his stomach. Fortunately, the wound wasn't deep. He didn't feel much pain, but if he let the Gnome stab deeper, he wouldn't make it.
Dragonborn twisted the Gnome's finger and bit the Gnome's ear while using his knees to crush the Gnome's crotch. When Dragonborn recovered, the Gnome was motionless. In the chaos, Dragonborn snatched the sword and stabbed the Gnome to death.
Before Dragonborn had the chance to breathe, another nearby gamer dashed towards him.
…
In the spectator stand of the Northern Underground World Gladiator Arena, there were densely packed spectators who took up half of the seats.
And the number of spectators kept increasing.
Compared to the miserable tens of spectators two months ago, where a Lich had to make use of Mana to create a fake crowded atmosphere, it was almost a miracle to have that many spectators watching the tournament.
A middle-aged Orc couple brought their three kids and sat in the spectator stand to watch the arena that had a huge Mana crystal ball with four screens. The screens used countless Mana eyes to capture the brutal fighting of the Gladiators in the newly constructed area. The Gladiators were fighting viciously to become the sole survivor.
One of the images showed Dragonborn fighting for his life.
Bloodshed, violence, and the killing of the gamers were all grotesque images that overwhelmed the senses. The cutting off of limbs, close up execution, and hunting novelties were wildly popular in the Underworld.
”That's awesome!”
”I want to be the sole survivor too.”
”Are Gladiator Fights so fun? Why didn't I know about it?”
The kids of the Orc couple were chatting excitedly as they jumped up and down in their seats. They were showing the true nature of kids.
