Chapter 40
Back in the reception hall, many gamblers are staring and speculating about a particular match which is being displayed on the holographic screen above them, with their mouths hanging open.
“What the actual fuck! Did that five-star loser just clear four arenas like it’s nothing!?”
“Damn, that’s insane…. He’s not even moving an inch! I’m definitely gonna bet on his next match!”
“Let’s calm down guys, he’s still the loser that he is….”
“What the heck, bro… watch me while I make enough money to fuck the proud babes of Aldabra.”
“Yeah, those pompous beastkins… fuck it, I’ll also bet on his match. I hope I don’t end up on the streets again after this match though!”
“All of you are talking about betting on him. Have you seen that type of ability before? What is that red thing surrounding him? He just makes random stuff from that red ball.”
“Look closely, he brings red stuff out of nowhere… This is insane! I have never witnessed this type of ability. Or is that some kind of beast gear with a passive skill…?”
“Naw I doubt it, beast gears only have active skills. However, whatever that ability is, it’s a strong one. Also, remember that he is a vampire, maybe it’s some kind of innate power. But still, I have never seen something like this before.”
The reception hall becomes lousy and turns into chaos upon the sudden rise of a former loser, Player JR5. The spectators’ eyes are only glued to a particular screen displaying the match of player JR5 while they ignore the others. And what piques their interest is the way the said player easily clears each arena with a strange red ability.
Right now, a lot of spectators are rushing towards the betting slot to book their prediction since the odds of player JR5 are very high.
Although a lot of narcissistic people also wagered on his failure with a huge amount of money, since they believe that he will clash with a mutant in Arena 05 and quit the match.
From the other side of the hall, a busty wolf girl can be seen smiling to herself inside a small cabin. Although, she’s currently in her human form, her distinctive scent would make it easy for anyone to guess her race.
“So you have finally become a man…huh? I wonder what you have to offer in the next matches. He must watch this video live…” The wolf girl mutters and begins to type away fast on her computer.
//////////
Right now, I am standing in front of the weird robot again, ready to go into the fifth arena.
“Congratulations Player JR5, you just cleared Arena 04 and have won 16,000 dollars. Would you like to proceed to Arena 05?” The robot asks me.
“Yes,” I give a swift reply.
“Good. Due to your constant victory, people have started betting on you, thus causing your betting odds to rise. Your odds are now 15.00, would you like to stake 16,000 dollars on these odds? Note that these odds are different from the ones that will be available to the gamblers since the player can’t stake on losing…” The robot asks again.
Holy fuck!… That’s so many odds. That will be 240,000 freaking dollars! Holy shit!
[Yeah, it’s a lot but it’s nothing compared to what you’ve lost here…]
‘True…’ I reply and shake my head at the system’s words.
“Wager all my winnings on the odds.” I say to the robot.
“Affirmative, player JR5. The bet has been placed, you will win 240,000 dollars upon clearing Arena 05… please proceed to Arena 05.” The robot says to me, gesturing with its hand as the ground opens up and a much larger teleportation circle appears.
I don’t waste any time as I hop into the teleportation circle and in a flash, I am teleported to another random location.
Right now, I am in a vast deserted land that has no buildings, cars, or anything that might indicate signs of life. In fact, the ground looks charred like a ground battle took place here in the past.
Furthermore, I also find it hard to breathe here as there seems to be a low amount of oxygen. Nevertheless, it doesn’t affect me in any way.
“Where the hell am I….?”
I mutter as I walk forward a little. This place is very dark with little to no light from the Sun. However, I can see as clearly as if it was day due to my vampiric eyes.
[Master… this place is among the destroyed landmass of the earth. I believe mutants roam this place, please be careful…]
“Ahh, I see…. This is the reason why people couldn’t live on it. The oxygen is very low. And the soil is charred to the core, rendering it useless and infertile. Damn… I wonder how that phenomenon was strong enough to destroy 90 percent of the earth’s crust.” I mumble as I bend down and take a handful of the charred soil.
Suddenly, I hear loud flapping sounds approaching me, which causes me to lift my head upward a bit. Which was when i saw four humanoid figures landing on the ground.
The figures are humanoid-like eagles with large black wings sprouting from their backs. They are 1.8 meters tall with thick torsos and sharp-clawed feet that could rip apart an average human in one swipe.
[Inspect….]
[Category: Mutant…]
[Type: Mutated Eagle …]
[Rank: Level 1]
[Ability:???]
[Weaknesses: ???]
Seeing these stats, a smile creeps up on my face. I don’t care if I don’t know anything about their ability or weakness. All I know is that they are all going to be destroyed by me.
“SKREEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!”
One of the mutated birds lets out a loud shriek like it’s telling the other mutants to come and feast on me.
Seeing this starts to make me wonder if something is wrong here. Normally, Arena 05 isn’t as tough as the one I am about to clear right now. Most of the players are teleported within the ruins of the earth and face off against level three zombies or a single level 1 mutant.
However, right now, I am facing 4 mutants, if not more when others come as well.
[Master… something is wrong here…]
‘I know, it’s was planned by the flaming house to force me to quit. However, they are in for a nasty surprise. They will end up bankrupt by the end of today.’ I tell the system.
And in the next moment, a sudden burst of white aura explodes from my body, as it shines very brightly and starts to spread across the area.
I am going to go all out with this gravity ability without the fear of damaging properties.
