trial by combat

Oliver still there in silence for a few minutes, Oliver lose his hand clicks on the help option on the system and says

"System tell me about the combat trials"

[In the combat trials you have to defeat a random NPC, you must kill the NPC, and if you win the trial you can loot the dead NPC and Dean renowned]

"What i can't knock them out?"

[You must kill or die]

Cold sweat drips down Oliver's face

'So for me to continue this "game" I have to... kill'

Oliver looks at the dagger in his hand

'But will i be able to kill?'

Suddenly a red screen appears in front of Oliver

[Do you want to start the trial by combat,

Yes/No]

After a while of thinking Oliver clicks yes on the red screen in front of him

[Player Oliver has accepted the trial by combat stand in the middle of the arena and wait for your opponent]

Oliver stands in the area for a few minutes and a big man with huge muscles comes from the entrance of the log wall, the man is human and has a long Brown beard with green eyes, he is wearing blue pants with leather knee pads he is not wearing a shirt leaving his chest exposed he has a few scars on his chest and he is wearing a helmet the helmet has two small horns on it, and he is carrying a Dane axe

Suddenly a blue screen appears in front of Oliver, the screen has the character information of the NPC in front of Oliver

{Name ???, level 3, class Warrior, skills none}

By just looking at this huge man alone Oliver is intimidated, not only that but Oliver's level is 0 for this man's level is 3

'Shit!' Oliver said in his head

The huge man is now starting in the small area near Oliver

"Hahahaha, so you are my challenger how pathetic"

The man says degrading Oliver, has the man is laughing he grabs his dane axe with both hands

In a sudden change of thought Oliver decided to speak

"Hey wait we don't have to kill each other, can you just walk away?!"

The man looked at Oliver confused and then laughed again even louder

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA!!!, of course not boy, but if you did not want to kill then why did you become a castle lord in the first place that's your own fault not mine"

He said while looking at Oliver with mocking eyes, he is also ready to fight

A red screen appears in front of Oliver again

[The trial by combat starts in, 9...8...7]

"HEY WAIT STOP ST-!"

Oliver says not want you to participate anymore

[3...2...1...., BEGIN!]

The man ran at Oliver and swung his ax at his neck, but Oliver blocked the blade of the axe with his dagger but was sent back because of the force of the hit, Oliver hit the ground but got up quickly and just in time to because the man swag his axe downward and almost cleaved Oliver's head off, the dane axe hit the ground so hard dust the flew in the air, the dust hit Oliver's eyes making him close his eyes because of this the man grabs Oliver by the collar of his shirt and throws him at the log wall

Oliver groans in pain as he stood up, the man swings his axe at Oliver's haed but Oliver dodge it but the axe hit his cheek causing blood to come out of the scratch,

"Aaaa!!!"

This is the first time Oliver has felt pain like this and is why he is screaming in pain

Hearing Oliver's scream the man laughed again

"HAHAHAHAHA, you are in pain because of a tiny scratch?"

The man slams his boot on Oliver's face, Oliver puts his hands on the man's boot to pull it away but it is no use, Oliver can hear the force of the man's boot trying to crush his head

Oliver looks at his dagger for a few seconds and finally starts to use it

Oliver stabs the man's leg with his dagger

The man steps back and grabs his leg pain showing out his face

"You little shit!"

With adrenaline in his veins Oliver rushes at the man and swings his dagger at the man's face, the man moves his face and the dagger misses the man's face but hits one of the horns on the man's helmet and breaks the horn

Oliver freezes in Terror because he missed

The man punches Oliver in the face causing Oliver to drop his dagger and fall to the ground, the man puts the blade of his axe to Oliver's throat, Oliver puts his on the Dane axes handle but the the force of the man's strength is too much for Oliver and the blade makes contact to Oliver's skin, blood comes out of his tiny wound

Time stops for Oliver as he feels the pain, feels his blood, feels his DEATH

'No... no... no i don't want to die HERE!'

Oliver see the broken horn on the ground and grabs it and quickly stabs the broken horn in the man's eye

"ARARARARARARAR!!!"

The man let's go of his axe and screams in pain and grab the horn that is in his eye

Oliver quickly grabs his Danger and rushes towards the man and stabs his dagger in his throat instantly killing him

A blue screen appears in front of Oliver

[congratulations you have won the trial of combat, Mission completed, store is now open]

Oliver stands there not paying attention to the blue screen with cold sweat dripping from his face his entire body is shaking with only one thought on his mind

'i... i... i... i ki-... I KILLED SOMEONE!?!?!?!'

===============================

"Looks like a good number of players have finished the trial"

the man with no hair said annoyed because how long will the trial is taking

"Yes this is a good number I would prefer more but this is good enough"

The game master says

"ll'l tell the systems to force the players to go to the store and I'll go there to meet them"

The man with on hair says

"Ok if you're going to do that I'm going to send her to take care of the player's who didn't participate"

"Her is that a bit Overkill?"

"She's been complaining to me that she is bored, and she likes to kill"

"To much"

"I can't change What She Likes or does not like"

The man with no hair looks the game master

'We both know that's a lie'

The man disappears leaving the game master alone in the void

"interesting, the combat trials are shown the colors of every player and they are all... strong in their own way"

The game master looks at many red screens in front of him, in the first screen there is a dark skin woman with long black hair and silver eyes, she is holding a spear and the blade of the spear is in the head of a man, she was looking at the man in annoyed thinking he would be a challenge

The second screen there is a man with white skin brown hair and black eyes, he's on the ground going back and forth holding a book in his hands and there is a body of a man on fire in front of him

And on the third screen there is a light tan skinned man holding up is fist smiling, on his hands there are bronze knuckles, and there are not one but three men on the ground
