Layla 1

Land of Dawn... the location of the powerful heroes gathered in one place to duel against each other. But what lies beyond it? There might as well be more secret to the heroes in their past... The mysterious place where heroes duel to win against each other, who shall win and become the strongest of them all? In this Land, there are six types of classes, Fighter, Marksman, Tank, Mage, Assassin and Support. All of them are labeled according to their traits. People said that if the heroes died in this arena, they would be revived back. More stronger and powerful. As the heroes enter the arena, they couldn't get out. All they could there is to play the game set by the organizers and fight to death. It's a cruel cycle of life, even though the heroes knows of this, they fought for a reason. Some are to protect others, others to find worthy opponents, and one was to control her newly attained powers.

This is the story of Layla, a girl with blueish hair tied into two long twin-tails, her clothes consist of a string bikini top under a black jacket. The jacket has a white stripe running along the length of each of her sleeves. She also wears a pair of tight-fitting shorts and black knee-high boots. Despite her headset and charming cleavage, she has the shy side inside of her that she would've hide under a cold glare.

As she followed the path into Land of Dawn, she took another look at the gun that her father forged for her before death took him. She promised that she will learn how to use the gifted weapon, in order to save her world. As she passed the through the giant gates, a loud announcement can be heard all around her.

THE FIRST CONTESTANT, LAYLA THE MALEFIC GUNNER HAS ENTERED THE LAND!

She smiles as she looked around, seeing various type of faces and appearances. " As long as I win and control this gun. Everything would turn out okay! " she confidently said, as her stomach grumbles. " I'm hungry though... " she looked around for any kind of places that could feed her some food. As she saw one, she hurriedly walked to the stall. Hoping to buy some food there. As she was pulling out a piece of dollar, a man blocked her way as the money slipped out of her finger. She rubs her forehead and looked at who she'd bumped into.

It was an eight chi tall (approximately 1.85 meters), with majestic and impressive looks. He wore a silver plate armor, effectively covering his torso, shoulders and thighs while remaining comfortable and flexible enough to allow movement. There is also a green crystal on the groin section, it has two blue tied ribbon to it.

Layla was distracted by his majestic look, until he suddenly spoke. " Young lady? Young lady, are you with me? " the man in armor waved his hand in front of her. She finally came back to her sense and answered nervously.

" O- Oh! So- sorry to disturb you! " she bows down and quickly ran away, was it because she's not used to new people? She hides behind a wall while panting heavily, " T- That was close... I almost fell backward if I stare longer... " her stomach growls louder, leaving her in a state of hunger. " I'm hungry... someone feed me... " as her eye slowly closes, she could felt something entering her mouth, it has a sweet smell and taste. As she opens her eyes, she saw what it looked like a little girl feeding her food, eventually it was not just any regular girl.

As she backs away from Layla, she chomps down on the food that was given to her, a small smile formed on her face. " Um... thanks. Who are you? " she asked, looking at her direction as she ran away from the scene.

After she finished the food that was given to her. She walked around and sat on a chair, resting her head on a round table. " Ohh... where should I go? I want to start battling already... " as she was surveying the giant hall, a man approached her from behind. She quickly noticed the presence behind her and quickly pulls out her giant cannon, aiming at the person. " That's very rude, approaching a girl from behind. " she looked over the gun to see who it is. Apparently it was the same man from before.

" Ah, you are also a contestant here. I've been wondering who you were. " she panicked and quickly moved her gun away from his face. " O- oh... it's you again. H- Hi.. " she nervously laughed and quickly turned around, covering her face in embarrassment. " I- I'm sorry about before! " she apologized, bowing down, obviously fidgeting.

The armored man wasn't threatened by her previous actions, it was as if he was used to these kind of situation. " You are new to this kind of feeling. I understand your actions. "

" Eh? " she looked at him with a clueless look.

" I approached you from behind. Your actions were moved by following your instinct correct? I apologize for my rudeness. " he bowed down to his knees, taking other's attention toward them.

" E- Eh? N- no it's fine! But please, stop it! You're embarrassing me... " she slowly said, as he slowly gets up and looked straight at her. " I should properly apologize to you again. But for now, I will introduce myself. " his straight-forwarded face was unreadable. No one could read his mind even if they try. She doesn't know that this meeting is just the beginning of her story. A brand new event of her life, the journey of her life has just begun.
