"Ladies and gentlemen! Today kicks off the highly awaited rookie event in our beloved city, the Balkrow City Rookie Adventurer Competition. We have 128 outstanding rookies, each a standout in their guilds, ready to battle it out. Let's see who emerges as the top talent among Balkrow's young adventurers!"
Corey's vibrant voice filled the air, spurring all 60,000 spectators to rise to their feet and erupt in deafening applause.
All of them were excited to find out who would represent Balkrow in the region's most prestigious rookie event and hopefully, bring honor to their beloved city.
Although the residents and the ordinary adventurers mostly see the competition as entertainment, it was actually not the case as there was a lot more at stake than what meets the eye.
One such stake was the rate of development of Balkrow City.
