Chapter 2 released 10/9/2020
The Afterlife Resort was a weird place there was no doubt about that even with a multitude of information being told in the brochure; the resort was beyond strange as time didn't exist in this realm as I've discovered and neither does the concept of famine, exhaustion or aging which is pretty cool but also quite worrying. Though finding out about the lack of concepts was interesting when I realized that without the need to eat, drink or sleep; why did we have a dining hall or personal rooms but that was an easy question to solve; it was because despite not being able to feel exhaustion or famine we could still eat and sleep for more nutritious purposes, or for fun; they were there for accommodations for us.
Heading towards the Arena I wanted to test myself and earn some points; if what was in the brochure was true then participating awards 5CP or colosseum points and winning awards 50CP with streaks starting at 5 wins and giving an extra 50CP for every win; unfortunately there was no extra points for losing.
What I saw when arriving at the Arena was the most unbelievably ornate and magnificent colosseum I had ever seen in any way including movies but this topped everything. An enormous colosseum made of a unique silver colored stone with floors made of black marble with gigantic pillars holding torches with a purple fire. It was amazing, it was where I would be fighting my first opponent.
Heading into the Arena there were many fighters going into a queue for their fights each with a shield and sword or a different type of weapon. When I went to the armory behind the que taking a Heater Shield and Longsword as I was most comfortable and familiar with these particular weapons.
Joining the queue I waited there for roughly an hour before my name was called up for registration. "Name and purpose here?" The elderly woman grumbled out with annoyance "Jaune Arc; here to register and to fight in a couple of matches." I responded which seemingly caught her interest as I was registering; but it was her next words that surprised me. "New here are you? Excellent take this card and write your full name on it; it's how you will earn your CP in here and track your progress. Now your first fight will begin in 5 minutes head to the side entrance over to your right; a referee will explain the regulations with you in a moment." Was what she told me as I walked over to the entrance.
After waiting about a minute a floating green orb appeared before me and spoke. "Mr Arc The rules of the match are quite simple; You can only fight with your skill and no powers, Anything goes, You are aiming to kill but you won't actually die if it looks like you might die. Are we understood?" The orb spoke. "Crystal." Was my response before I was able to move out to the exit for my first fight. When stepping out to the stage there was a holographic image showing my opponent and his information. My opponent was named Ludmun Braask; a large bald half-orc with pale orange skin and a large two handed double headed war axe with 37 wins and 5 loses.
That's when I saw him in person walking to the opposite end of the stage waiting for the fight to begin. "Fighters may your matches entertain us and bring you glory and honor; you may begin." A booming voice called to us as my opponent came rushing towards me with an axe aiming to cleave my head with one strike.
Forcing me to duck I withdrew my sword from its sheath and slashed the half-orc's leg causing it to fall unto one knee; it then threw a heavy punch into my gut forcing me to lurch forward and doing a quick maneuvering roll to it's left away from the incoming slash that I narrowly avoided before thrusting my sword into its stomach and pulling the sword to my left before slashing upwards through my opponents head.
"We have ourselves a winner; Jaune Arc." The booming voice yelled out before I heard the entire stadium roar with applause for my first victory knowing I earned 55CP was extremely relieving for myself. "Jaune Arc, will you fight another round to attempt a streak? If so, remain on stage for 30 seconds and if not then exit the Arena." I waited for the 30 seconds I wanted to get at least 200CP before I left.
"Jaune Arc you will fight for another round; prepare yourself for your next opponent."
A hologram appeared once more showing my new opponent; Hobson Ward, a human pirate with two cutlasses in each arm with 22 wins and 12 loses. My opponent arrived while we both waited for the announcer to call the beginning of our fight. I couldn't help but wonder what kind of weapons, armor or skills one can buy at the Shops. "Fighters may your matches entertain us and bring you glory and honor; you may begin." The booming voice of the announcer called.
My opponent ran at me astounding speed with his cutlasses swinging wildly which was quite easy to dodge allowing me to deliver a clean cut that would have normally severed his left arm; but in the arena that just counts as medium damage and not a kill. Jumping out of the way of his next barrage of wild strikes I swing my sword right through one of his right leg and aim for the neck and get a nice cut in only to be blocked and parried getting a slash to my thigh where I stumble and end up sticking my sword through his neck while getting my left leg pierced.
"The Winner for the second time in a row Jaune Arc, may you continue to provide entertainment." The announcer's voice boomed over the cheering audience as I relished in my second victory against another real person, a person more skilled than Cardin; it felt good but I wanted to go train and go get new items with my 110CP. "Jaune Arc, will you fight another round to attempt a streak? If so, remain on stage for 30 seconds and if not then exit the Arena." When I exited the Arena I checked my Arena Card for the information that was available; Jaune Arc, male, 17, Wins 2 Loses 0 , 110CP. Sure my information may or may not have been a little lacking but it would get better.
When I got to the Shops I immediately went to find a place to buy skills and get more information on them; when I found a store that sells skills called The Collection I went inside and came upon the store being divided into 2 parts one for magical skills and one for biological skills; approaching the clerk I had to find out more about these skills.
"Excuse me sir I was wondering if you could help me out with skills. I'm a little new to this." I told the clerk who looked a little too amused by me, especially when I said I was new. "Something I can help you with?" The clerk asked in his amused tone. "Umm yeah what's the difference between magical and biological skills?" I question as I was quite keen on finding out so I could choose the right skills and not waste my CP.
"Well magical skills don't always work right and they generally take longer to cast with the incantations and rituals. While biological can change you; like your body or your DNA. Also magical skills can mix with each other to create different combinations, biological skills have limited combinations as it could mean bad news for you and your body. Oh right magical skills and biological skills and their paths don't mix ever do you understand; never do that or you might be dead faster than you can blink." The clerk told me before going back to whatever he was doing.
Walking over to the biological section I took a look at the options and their prices. Looking over the elemental skills and enhancement skills multiple times to see if any of them would catch my interest while picturing hundreds of combinations that could work in my favor but I knew what I wanted to choose after thinking of the possibilities. After selecting what I wanted I headed back to the clerk to buy my items.
"Alright you've got some bio skills now lets see what you picked." The clerk said before beginning to inspect the skills
Minor Regeneration: passive light healing and speeds up healing rate which can be upgraded twice but quite costly each time, price 35CP.
Iron Defense: gives your skin, bones and muscles an iron like toughness; good for defense and gives your punches a good solid weight behind it; can be upgraded up to 5 times for a decent amount, price 15CP.
Minor Strength Enhancement: self explanatory; makes you stronger, can lift up to 2 tons and hit with 2 tons of force behind each blow; can be upgraded 10 times relatively cheap for the first 4 times, price 15CP.
Electricity Manipulation: gives the power to manipulate electricity and wield it; can be upgraded 3 times for a costly sum, price 45CP.
"Well your all set that'll be 110CP; tap your card here." He told me as he handed me a card payment terminal; which I put my card into to pay for my purchases. "Alright you're all set; now you're going to want to head to your room and go to sleep now because that's how the skills are ingrained into you so that you can use them later; see ya kid." The clerk advised me as I headed back to my room to do just that.
Upon arriving in my room and hopping into my bed I was met with an increasingly irritable itching feeling all over my body before everything went black. But my final thoughts before falling asleep were how my powers would finally be working and I knew that my destiny was to become a hero.
