In this world, there are multiple types of energies or power:
- Body Strength, how strong the body of that person is. (Resistance to Physical Attack and Increase in Physical Damage)
Ex: Iron Body- makes the body as strong as iron
- Soul, how strong your life force is. (The ability to take more damage and lessen the damage taken overall, think of HP in games)
Ex: Soul Suppress- lowers the HP of another person to that amount
- Mental Strength, how strong the mental ability of that person is. (Resistance to Mental Attack and Increase in Mental Damage)
- Magic, the embodiment of power that can be cultivated into body strength, soul and mental strength. (Can be used to strengthen oneself or others using techniques)
Ex: Flame Wings - creates wings made out of fire, which allows the user to soar through the sky
-Talent, the speed of magic that can be integrated into oneself. (How fast magic can make the aspects of the person stronger)
Ex: Numerical Number, for reference a normal person has a talent of 100
- Rank, the foundation of the techniques you can use, there are multiple paths that you could take as to either rise with the gods or defy the gods. ( Basically increases the available techniques that they could use)
Ex: Mortal Realm- the start of every cultivator's rank
-Will, amplifies certain magical abilities and defies certain laws put into the world. (Personal skill of the person can't be the exact same but can have varieties and once the person with this will dies another will inherit the will, cannot have more than 4 Wills)
Ex: Will of Weak Resistance and Will of Medium Resistance, these can both be existing at the same time

Now we go back to the storyline
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Arthur at this moment has now recovered somewhat his strength after that ordeal. Being an ant in the eyes of the other warriors he was disregarded as he wasn't strong and could be disposed of later. Even though he created a shockwave it wasn't that amazing as anyone with enough soul power could do it but it was at the cost of lessening your soul to cleanse it. The only thing that was off in what Arthur did earlier was that the poison didn't just disappear but got more potent and also went along with the shockwave. Taking note that this poison was enough to kill someone but was only enough for one person and it was barely the amount needed so the shockwave did indeed have a more potent poison but it really didn't matter as the landscape absorbed the majority of it making Arthur very unlucky.
In their eyes all Arthur did was waste his life away of didn't contribute much to the fights that they were having. Arthur managed to scouted the battlefield but still managed his guard up in case of further attacks on him. He hid behind the massive corpses when no one was looking and even the people who noticed him didn't care much for he was just an ant that could be crushed at any time. Arthur at this point was doing all he can right now in order to survive and in order to survive he needed to protect himself. Looking at the surroundings he could see multiple weapons but these weapons were already broken or damaged and even if he had one in perfect condition it wouldn't amount much for 1) he was a weak boy 2) the enemies could use magic from mid-long distance and using melee against it was a bad idea 3) he doesn't know how to use a sword. The best reason why a sword was useless was because of the second reason.
After thinking about it Arthur decided to just stay put and hope that this would pass through and the other people leave him alone. What he decided to do was, in fact, the best choice he could have chosen because in this "Colosseum of Guilt" criminals kills each other for a chance to get out of jail providing the people with carnage and lessening the population of criminals as well as showing an example to those who will commit vile acts. The condition of their release was based on a point system where the stronger their enemy the more points they would get while the weaker ones might only be one point or none at all. Only the people remaining after a certain amount of time has passed will be allowed to go back to their cells.
"This 6th round has ended anyone who shall kill anymore will receive divine punishment." the king said with a dominating aura.
Arthur who was hiding under a corpse sighed with relief as he survived through all of this not knowing at all the situation in front of him. As the large gates opened multiple guards swarmed the place restricting everyone in the "Colosseum of Guilt" including Arthur. As he walked along with cuffs restricting both his hands and legs alongside multiple fugitives. When Arthur reached his cell he was met with an old man with a solemn look towards the youth. After a while, another person arrived at the cell and it was the archer who shot Arthur back then. The archer showed a look filled with surprise and disdain as she went towards Arthur.
"You... how did you do that? How could a nobody like you disperse my poison? Tell me right now before I take my knife and slit your bloody wrist" the archer took a large knife which looked too big in proportion to her body size. "Hey! Wait don't! I didn't do anything at all! When I just opened my eyes I was in the middle of the arena!" Arthur pleaded to the archer to stop threatening him as he didn't know anything at all.
"You expect me to believe what you just said? HA! Do you think I am an idiot that will believe your lies?" she said as she mindlessly slashed in front of her but the old man spoke one word "Stop" and then her whole body froze. Arthur thought that this old man is not simple at all. The archer looked at the old man with disdain.
"Little girl, I know what your Will is... The Will of Soul Erosion-– every skill/action erodes the soul of the enemy and cannot be removed unless intervention of another Will," the old man said solemnly.
"Old man, I don't care it doesn't matter to me as long as in the end both of you are dead!" her cold gaze filled with anger and disdain towards the both of them.
"and I know what this youth's Wills are... but I cannot say for I am afraid what King Rhast's reaction would be" the old man continued speaking but the archer suddenly looked at the youth when the old man said "Wills" as if she was told that the world will end the next day.
"Wills? Stop joking! No one has even achieved one and a half wills! And you are telling me that this kid has two? Old man, I think you are getting senile." her expression shook switching from confidence to surprise as she said this statement.
While the two were arguing, Arthur Reeve who was in shock not knowing if this event was good for him or worse, at least in the very moment he wasn't being struck down by the female archer. As the two were speaking Arthur suddenly spoke, "Uhm... actually as I said when I opened my eyes I was suddenly here and I don't remember anything else..." the eyes of the archer and old man looked at the youth confused.
"Young man, what crime did you commit?" the old man asked seriously.
"I did absolutely nothing! I don't even think this is my world!" as he said this the eyes of the archer and old man lit up as bright as the sun.
"Not from this world? Then that means you came from another world or another realm!" shock both came from the archer and old man. In their minds, if this was true then that would mean this young man could travel between the confines of time and space then successfully did something that even Great Sage Mortals haven't accomplished yet.
Usually, when someone says they are from another world these two people would label them as crazy but when Arthur said so the old man believed him wholeheartedly while the archer still had slight doubt in her heart. Having two Wills is already something those at Spirit Realm or Beast Realm have which has already surpassed this world's rank.
The archer believed that Arthur came from another world because of the expression of the old man which was genuine. Having her Will be known was shocking to her as she didn't directly use it on someone rather she used an item which has the disguise of poison. Not being removed other than the use of a Will is something that she took pride in but in front of this youth that was younger than her by about 5 years already formed a Will that countered hers and in the world of Regris she was known as a one in a thousand year genius. So this kid is younger yet formed a stronger Will than her and what was worse was that he had multiple Wills, one had to be a terrifying entity to possess many Wills as these Wills are formed by the intent of the universe which can even suppress a supreme god.
Arthur explained to them what happened exactly before he got here. The two were surprised by what they heard, they were interested in that light and the mysterious voice that came alongside it. "It seems that the voice is correct in its analysis on you, which is shocking as I had to use my full Will in order to understand you better. No physical power, no talent, slightly higher than average intellect these words truly describe you as you only have the talent of 1 and a body so fragile even just swipes from a sword might harm you.
"Well first things first, can you guys tell me everything about this realm?" interest filled Arthur's eyes as he looked at both the archer and old man with respect. Information is power and what Arthur lacked was information.
