Zero turned around, only to be sent flying into the wall with enough force to brake the brick. Zero had managed to spin in midair, so his back was facing the wall, however he instantly lost consciousness

-Notice-

Extensive damage has been inflicted on the Host. <500> souls will be used to completely heal the Host's body.

Zero's eyes opened wide to find what he could only describe as an angel three times the size of the Buddha floating in the sky, her arms out wide. Zero turned his gaze inward, finding he had intense pain in his bones, leading him to believe he had shattered most of them. As Zero sat there and recovered, he watched the angel fly up into the sky, before falling backwards and shrinking as it came soaring down towards the ground. As it came closer to the ground, it seemed to get brighter and brighter until it looked like a mini star before it disappeared from Zero's vision.

Zero felt a large pulse before an intense heat assaulted him. The heat became unbearable before it suddenly stopped and disappeared, as if it never existed in the first place. Zero's vision had been going in and out and he didn't know how long he was laying there motionless, however a window appeared Infront of him while he still couldn't move.

-Notice-

Event has ended after 8 hours. All surviving Host's are now able to leave the event area.

-Notice-

You have received <1100> souls for participating in the event.

Zero came to his senses, finding it was pitch black around him. 'It said 8 hours, but it had only been around half an hour when I was hit by that blast.' Zero knew that meant he had lost consciousness. He quickly looked down at his left hand, only to find the duffle bag wasn't in it. Zero's eyes started darting around the area, looking for the bag he already knew had been taken. 'They left me alone but stole my mag.' Zero tried to stand to go after them, however his body wasn't responding to his commands.

When Zero thought about it, the only people he could see not outright killing him for the souls would be the group of four. He was going to let them live, to potentially lead him back to a larger group, however they had taken his stuff and he would make them suffer for it. As Zero simply looked around the area, he noticed the building had collapsed from what he guessed was the angel's descent. 'The four didn't seem to have an ability that could cause such large scale destruction, so that means another Host must have showed up.'

Zero put that to the back of his mind when he suddenly heard noise from Infront of him. Zero half closed his eyes, making it look like he was still out of it. "Josh! There is a person here! It looks like they are injured, it seems like souls are regenerating there body." There was a scoff before another male voice spoke. "Looks like the poor sap was unlucky and got hit by that blast. Go kill him, don't let him waste souls on regeneration." Zero willed his right pinky to activate the Seeker Beam, only for nothing to happen.

Zero realized he didn't have a target because it was dark. In a last ditch effort, Zero spoke. "L-light..." The approaching footsteps paused for a moment before the first voice spoke again. "Josh, the body talked." Zero ignored him and spoke again. "I-I'm afraid of the d-dark." Zero was only partially lying, as memories from his past caused him to feel uncomfortable in darkness, but he mostly suffocated the feeling as he knew the bonus's of darkness in situations. There was a small laugh before the sound of a match striking sounded and a match slightly illuminated a face.

The face had a large scar going from its temple to its chin, but Zero didn't care. Without a second thought, Zero willed the beam to target the man. Hoping it would work, Zero willed the beam to make large obnoxious loops before it impaled the man. To Zero's relief, there was a yell before two voices cried out in pain. Although he couldn't see anything, the moment the Seeker beam made contact with the second body, he was able to feel it.

Within seconds of feeling the second body, Zero willed a seeker beam from his right ring finger to target the second one. Within moments, Zero watched two large groups of souls erupt from two separate areas before the two groups condensed into one clear Shade. Zero wasn't able to move, so he wasn't able to grab the Shade, however it served a better purpose for Zero.

Over the next three hours, Zero used the Shade and its small glow to target any Host that was dumb enough to walk up to the Shade and try to take it. He had only encountered one Host with an ability to block, however it seemed it was only able to block one thing at a time, so the second Seeker Beam slammed through the back of their skull. After the three hours had passed, Zero received another window.

-Notice-

Due to the first day coming to an end, The Hosts will now be able to choose if they would like to be sponsored or not. The Host will be given the option every new day unless commanded otherwise by the Host.

'So it IS like a Live Stream. However I can't see beings that can purchase an event that gifts 1100 souls for simply participating to be interested in us currently.' Zero said that, however he still clicked to see those that wanted to sponsored him when the window asked.

-Notice-

Hello author here,

Book Information- To any of those that have not read the novel review that explains the upload time, I will right it here. This novel is not currently being consistently worked on, and is instead a distraction from my other novel.(Chimera System) Although that is the case, I have found that I am enjoying writting this novel so far and will most likely continue to push chapters out until I become burned out by this one.

Pretty much what that^ whole thing is saying is, "This book is not on a scheduled upload and I am currently writing it as I upload and am only writing it because I am burned out with my other one." That being said, I have found that the reaction to this book is rather amazing which is driving me to continue to bring more chapters.

I know this is alot for an Author's Thoughts so I will end it here.

anyways, as always,

I hope you enjoyed the chapter :)

ps-Go check out my other novel, Chimera System
