Chapter 6| : first match

********

After registering, Dante went to look for rooms for us while we just sat there, most of them engrossed in their thoughts while astra merged himself with his battle frenzy on his phone, he was one step away from making the finals, according to the description of the game, who ever wins the championship get a whooping prize of 30,000,000 jewels and a chance to meet the creator for a sponsorship, of cause, non of these moved astra, he just wanted to win and get a free vacation from the company he was working with.

" do you think, the professional they sent killed that man ? " Freya asked breaking the pending silence.

" I'm not sure, but the chances are high " Gina muttered under her breathe.

" well, we will soon find out " Alan said thoughtful but his train of thoughts crashed when Dante arrived, dragging his feet sluggishly against the hard marble floor.

" well… ?" Callie drew the well so much after she managed to open her swollen red eyes, she was in desperate need of sleep.

" all the rooms, in this place, in and outside the island are fully booked, apparently this year's competition is going to be grand " everyone groaned before Dante pulled out a silver key, shaped like a cross " but I managed to rent a huge room with two bathrooms and a super big bed, the only problem is, we are all gonna share it " Dante gave the news waiting for it to sink in.

everyone came up with an awkward scenario in their heads while astra mentally slapped himself, he had to share his personal space with people, while Gina on the other hand turned red imaging her self in the same room with astra.

" well I have no problem with that " Callie said over a deep yawn. " no one has much of a choice anyway " Dante said turning around, leading them to the room he rented.

********

" you weren't kidding when you said big room " Gina quipped " or big bed " Freya finished, while Callie threw her things to the corner, diving into the soft red bed.

everyone laughed seen her just fall asleep in one go before they all retired. it was still early in the morning but it was like 9:30 in the night. Everyone kicked of their shoes, the girls maneuvered Callie to one side before taking the space, while the boys gathered bedsheets and pillows, while astra popped out a sleeping bag, getting cozy in it, soon afterwards everyone fell asleep.

*********

3 : 43 pm

" guys wake up " Alan said rubbing his neck " go to hell " Callie muttered, annoyed with Alan for disturbing her precious sleep.

Alan stood up, looking around, observing his lazy companions before he crouched down, he place one finger on the ground and muttered a few words.

# ahhhhhhhh #

# ahhhhhhh #

********

everyone was up, looking energetic except Alan, he had three swollen bumps on his head with a few bruised mark on his face. " I can't believe you guys " Alan whispered in a quiet tone " says the guy who tried to roast us " Dante called out.

" so does anyone knows how this place works ? " Daniel pointed out.

" oh, Mr grumpy pants finally spoke " Freya teased with a smile, but received the cold shoulder and a frown from Daniel.

" okay everyone gather round, let me explain how this works " Dante ushered everyone around like little kid, while they reluctantly complied .

" this is a combat arena, one of the most popular battle ground, where victorious fighters ascend to higher floors, and yes it comes with its perks " Dante said given a knowing smile to Callie whom was probably after the rewards.

" according to what I know, this place has 306 floors, excluding the rooms and pent houses, the battle tower is located at the other side. inside thousands and thousands of cultivators and martial artists, compete daily in order to test their skill and advance to higher floors .the annual Spector attendance is over 2 billion and the entire building if fully equipped with various facilities, such as restaurant and shopping malls.

competitors are allowed to fight and defeat their opponent with any means necessary, weapons and other mischief things are permitted, so watch out for dirty tricks. so in other word ' NO RULES ' it's practically a no Mans land theme " Dante finished with a satisfying smile.

" so…, if a competitor kills his opponent, there won't be any troubles right ? " astra asked as everyone tensed up after hearing his question, they knew he was more than capable of murder, after the incident with the Cyclops.

" yeah, pretty much "

" oh and about that reward ? " Callie asked wiggling her brows.

" oh yeah, so for the first 50 floor, you get nothing, but pass |00, you should get about |00,000 jewels, any floor above 200 pays millions, you get to 300 and you get Billon's, depending on who you fight " by this time Callie was already day dreaming.

" but mind you, if you fail any floor, your gonna have to restart " Dante said braking Callie's spirit drive.

" what!!!!! " she almost fainted while Dante nodded

" what if it was fluke " Callie asked in a whisper.

" you restart, that's why you have to pick a fight you know you can win, and I doubt if it's easy, this year, pros attended and there's that A list killer running around "

" okay then, I'll start " Daniel said walking out of the room, probably to set a match.

" we can all learn from today's Match, though I wonder who he would fight " Dante said touching his imaginary beard
