I finished the whisper with a pleased smile and started running again. We were able to quickly enter Fortren and arrived at the huge Colosseum. The moment I got there, I wore a mask. It was the black wolf mask but I had no other method to hide my identity except this. Players would recognize me if I wore the white tiger mask. I just had to hope that Aidan didn't recognize me.

“Oh, this is the Colosseum.”

Kerenos’ eyes widened at the sight. Maybe it was the first time he had come here. I looked around. I didn’t see a place to lodge my application. Where should I go?

“Hmm, I can’t find the place to apply.”

I missed Prometheus every time there was a situation like this. He would’ve told me where to go. He should wake up quickly.

“Maybe it is inside?”

“Inside?”

“Yes, I don’t think there is a way to apply outside.”

It sounded correct. Of course, I also heard that dog poop was used for medicine.

“We will go inside.”

I entered straight into the Colosseum. Shortly thereafter, a crowded area appeared. Most of them were ordinary people but there was a place that stood out. It was a place where huge men with large muscles gathered. At first glance, it seemed to be a place for participants.

I tried to walk over there. At this time, Kerenos spoke, “Old man, I’m going to the stands.”

“Um, you will?”

“Yes, I will cheer for you. I wish you good luck.”

“Yes, see you later.”

Thus, I separated from Kerenos. He seemed to be unwilling to participate in this. I shrugged and walked over to that area again. There was a NPC distributing tickets at the entrance. He asked me, “Would you like to participate in the Colosseum battle?”

“Yes.”

“I will check your level.”

His eyes flashed with magic power as he scanned me from the top of my head to the tip of my toes. It felt a bit bad.

“Yes, you’re allowed to participate. I wish you good luck.”

[A Colosseum Ticket has been acquired.]

I received the ticket he handed over and passed through the door. However, there was a problem. Iron bars suddenly came down from the entrance and I was trapped. I was panicked by the sudden situation. What was it this time...

-Now, Colosseum participants!From now on, the people gathered here will be referred to as Group 2.From here, only four people will advance to the round of 16.Please go up to the stage.The preliminary round will start right away.

The competition was more competitive than I thought. Only four people would proceed from here. At first glance, there were close to 20 people gathered. Looking at their faces, they all seemed to be individuals.

“...Gyeonso Dragon said he was in Group 1. He said he would wait for me first.”

I walked straight toward the place where the crowd was moving. The place where we appeared was a checkerboard-like stage. It seemed that we were going to fight here. There were no people in the audience. Perhaps they hadn’t entered yet. I was the last to go onto the stage and a voice was heard.

-Now, everyone in Group 2.As I mentioned earlier, only four people can enjoy the honor of advancing to the round of 16.To do that, other people have to fall, right?

The host smiled.

-The survival match will now start.You can fight alone or team up.Fight again and again until there are only four people left.Good luck.

At the same time, the air around me changed. The people of Group 2 separated from each other. Then someone laughed loudly. "Wuhahaha! How interesting!”

“Hmm?”

It was a muscular man with a familiar bald head and a huge body. I remembered this man. He was the one who protected me in the fight against Minotaur the other day. Was his name Reinhardt? No, why was he here?

“There is no need for four people. I, Reinhardt, alone am enough! Nuclear Fist!”

Reinhardt’s fist slammed into the ground and suddenly the stage started to collapse.

In front of the Colosseum in Fortren...

The executives from the Icarus Guild, including Mido, gathered. It was quite late but there was only one reason why they gathered. It was the Colosseum battle.

Mido nagged at Park Taehyeon, “Oppa! Why are you so late every day?! Does it make sense to sleep in? I almost couldn’t participate in the Colosseum battle because of you!”

“Groan.”

“I’ll kick you out if you keep doing this!”

Mido was the vice-president of the guild. She might be the only woman in the guild but due to her intelligence, Kim Hyeonu trusted her and let her be the vice-president. The vice-president had the authority to kick out guild members.

“Ah, I’m sorry. I won’t be late anymore.”

“You should reflect on yourself! If you’re late one more time then I really will kick you out. You should know!”

“Che.”

Park Taehyeon dug at his ears. As always, this person was really lazy. It was the opposite of her ideal type. Mido’s ideal type was a sincere man. He should also be tall and handsome like her grandfather. Well, she might look at the face too much but she was young and beautiful. She wouldn’t be discouraged by appearance.

“Dude, stop being late. Mido is angry. Do you want me to shoot an arrow in your butt?”

“You?”

Eun Jeonghyeok and Park Taehyeon growled at each other. At this time, the watching Kim Hyeonu stopped the two people. “Hey! Stop fighting. Park Taehyeon, you won’t be late anymore?”

“Cough.Um, yes. I'll try.”

“Mido, stop being angry now. Taehyeon said he will try.”

Kim Hyeonu smiled kindly while dressed in white armor. She felt it every time she saw him but he was really sincere and friendly. If she had to choose who was closest to her ideal type out of these three people, she would choose him without even thinking twice about it.

Just then, Kim Hyeonu’s face came closer. “Mido, are you still angry?”

Her face was hot because he was so close. Mido walked faster to hide her embarrassment. “D-D-Do whatever!”

Mido headed inside the Colosseum. The group shrugged and followed her. Then they saw a space that had been seen in the community. Most of the people present had probably come to bet on the Colosseum matches. The condition of watching the match was to make bets.

“Is that the place to participate?”

Eun Jeonghyeok followed her and pointed to one place. Mido quickly turned her head. There was a familiar NPC from the community. Mido headed over.

“Do you want to participate in the Colosseum battle?" The NPC glanced at her and then her companions behind her. “Are they participating with you?”

“Ah, yes. That's right.”

Mido nodded and the man frowned.

“Hmm. It is the first time a woman has participated...”

“Ah, it’s okay because I’m an immortal human.”

“Okay, then it doesn’t matter. Do you know the rules here?”

“I know it all. Quickly send me in.”

“Understood. I will measure your level.”

The NPC’s eyes filled with magic power and he started to scan them. If the community’s information was correct, he was probably checking to make sure they were above level 100. She heard that they couldn’t pass if their level wasn’t sufficient.

“Okay, you can go through. Here is a ticket for the Colosseum.”

Every one of them accepted the ticket and stepped inside. There was a man standing inside alone and he shifted his gaze here. Mido made eye contact with him.

‘What? I have a bad feeling.’

The man was staring at them quietly. His face was painted white and his torn mouth was painted like a clown. He seemed to be wearing makeup...

“Hup.”

Mido took a deep breath. It was because the man suddenly looked at her and grinned. Park Taehyeon frowned at the sight.

“Hey, why are you looking at her in such a twisted manner? Is this the first time you have seen a woman?”

The moment that Park Taehyeon was going to reach out to the man, the building shook.

* * *

At first, the floor was cracked. Then a shockwave emerged from Reinhardt’s fist. It produced a huge wave that shattered the surrounding stage. The bronze statues in the corners collapsed first and the subsequent storm tried to push me off the stage.

“T-This crazy guy!”

It was a tremendous strength. At that time, the fist had been aimed at Minotaur so I hadn’t known it. Now after experiencing it myself, I wondered about this person. I used a skill straight away to avoid flying away.

[Spider Climbing has been activated.]

[The absorption power of both feet has become stronger.]

[Magic power is being continuously consumed.]

I barely maintained my posture and I turned my head. A young man was holding onto a greatsword stuck into the ground. Then a dust storm swept over me and I immediately closed my eyes and formed an X with my arms.

[Kuhahaha! Yes, this is it! This is it! I want to fight! Chwiiik!]

This Mudur guy was excited but I wasn’t excited at all. I couldn’t see in front of me. The moment the dust cleared, I could see in front of me. Reinhardt was laughing with both hands on his hips. “Kuhaha! It is so easy to finish! Wuhahaha!”

I didn’t know what was so good. I suddenly thought that this was how Mudur would be if he had been born a human. Once the surrounding dust cleared even more, Reinhardt frowned.

“Um, what? Some people survived?”

That damn guy glanced this way. He smiled at the young man holding the greatsword next to me.

“There are some pretty strong guys! Haha.”

Some users who fell off the stage were logged out while several were injured and were drinking potions. Some even gritted their teeth as they glared at Reinhardt. They all lost without me doing anything but it was good.

-Hahaha.Truly amazing!The conclusion has been reached in an instant!Let me introduce the four people from Group 2 who will enter the round of 16!

A crystal ball appeared from an unknown place and showed an image of my face in the air. Fortunately, I was masked. There was also Reinhardt’s face and the young man with the greatsword. However, I couldn’t see the last beautiful young man... I instantly started looking around. Just then, I found someone floating in the sky.

“Haha. You were in the sky?”

It was the beautiful young man. Surely the world must seem wide and large to him. There were many strong people. My heart involuntarily started thumping. It was inconsistent with my age.

-Those who passed from Group 2 can go into the waiting room.There is to be no fighting.We will remove you immediately if you are caught.The people dispatched from the magician’s guild, please prepare the restoration magic.

At the host’s words, the four people including me moved to the waiting room. There were the people from Group 1 who fought earlier. Their eyes were fierce as they watched Reinhardt warily. This was all except for one person.

Step, step. I walked toward that one person. The person was meditating with crossed legs. I stood in front of him and he opened his eyes.

“...You came.”

It was Gyeonso Dragon.
