Seer’s PoV

 

As the audience made their way towards the exits, they were greeted by a festive atmosphere outside the stadium. Food stalls and merchandise booths lined the walkways, offering a variety of snacks, drinks, and souvenirs for the fans to enjoy. Music played in the background, creating a lively ambiance and keeping the energy high even as the opening ceremony came to a close.

Following the speech, the opening ceremony continued. The staff presented us with a choice: to either join the crowd and mingle or take advantage of the Player Lounge, where each team had its own private room. Naturally, we opted for the latter, relishing the opportunity to have our team's personal space.

 

The participant’s room provided an ideal vantage point, as each room was positioned in the topmost corner of the arena, separated only by transparent glass. The chamber ...

After the encounter I found myself in earlier, I eagerly began to check out what each stall had to offer since there was a lot of time left before the start of the program.

 

The first stall I approached was adorned with colorful banners and filled with an array of virtual reality accessories. Virtual reality headsets, motion controllers, and even haptic feedback gloves were on display, tempting me with their cutting-edge t...

"Are you sure you're okay with us leaving you to explore on your own?" Mom asked, her voice filled with a hint of concern for my safety.

 

I nodded eagerly, my excitement barely contained. "Yes, Mom! I'll be fine. I've got my phone, and I know where the meeting point is. Plus, I want to cheer for my brother and my friend as soon as I see them!"

 

Dad chuckled, ruffling my hair affectionatel...

To my right, a long buffet table stretches across the room, laden with a world-class selection of breakfast dishes. The display is a food lover's dream, with everything from classic pastries and cereals to gourmet cheeses and charcuterie.

 

The bakery section boasts an array of freshly baked bread, croissants, and muffins, their enticing aroma waftin...

Stone arches tower above me, and the bright flickering torchlight casts long shadows across the room. To my left is a large wooden table with different parchments containing information about our opponents for the tournament. Nearby, a rack of weapons gleams in the torchlight, everything from swords to crossbows to maces, a design specifically made to compliment the room's theme. To my right, a cozy fireplace crackles, its warm glow inviting. A few comfort...

“I heard you guys are the best team in this tournament. Show me what you got!”

Renz, the username of the opponent in front of me challenged while posturing menacingly in an attempt to intimidate me.

Is he deliberately taunting me to put me into a disadvantageous emotional state?

...No, he seems to just be naturally obnoxious, a talent on its ow...

“And so, that’s why we will have a practice match against the Paragons today!” Liz informed the team.

The four of us are currently inside Chu’s room after Liz inquired for a quick group meeting. The room is quite spacious even for four people inside. Good thing Renz was already here when we arrived, saving us the trouble of finding him.

In the meeting earlier with the Paragons, I arranged for scheduled practice matches between Aria's team and ours. Fortunately, they agreed...

Announcement

When I came out of hiatus, I told myself to take a break once every finished volume to prevent burnout. Now that we've successfully posted the first volume on SH and RR, I plan to take this weekend to rest a bit, finalize the characters for the tournament, and refine the fight scenes I've envisioned.


Also, I kind of feel a bit guilty taking a break so I will be offering a refund for this month for my Patreon (only for 2-month members and above) Just PM me and I'll gladly give...

I am currently inside a spacious and elegantly furnished room, with a plush king-sized bed taking center stage. The sheets are bright white, and it feels incredibly good to sink into the soft, inviting pillows while I’m reading.

The walls are adorned with tasteful artwork, and the floor is carpeted with a luxurious rug that cushions my steps. The lighting is soft and warm, creating a cozy and inviting ambiance. The large windows offer a breathtaking...

The scent of fresh flowers from a nearby arrangement mingles with the faint aroma of the coffee, creating a comforting blend that fills the air.

The gentle strains of ambient music reach my ears, a soothing soundtrack to the scene unfolding before me. I hear the rhythmic tapping of the receptionist's fingers on the keyboard, punctuated by the occasional rustle of papers. It sucks to be on her shift. Seems like there are plenty of people booking on...

“It’s gorgeous!” Lucy exclaimed.

“I know, right? Seems like a nice place to relax and take it easy,” Blitz voiced out his thoughts.

“…Good enough,” Seer added.

“Do not forget that we are not here on a vacation,” I chided them.

We arrived at the 5-star boutique hotel rented by the CoA staff; Majestic Mirage found in the Getty Center. Based on my research about the place, it offers ...

As we pull into the LA airport drop-off zone, the hustle and bustle of the place instantly hits me. The air is filled with a mix of excitement and anticipation. I can see a flurry of activity as people rush around, pulling suitcases, hugging loved ones goodbye, and checking their tickets one last time.

The scent of jet fuel hangs in the air, mingling with the aroma of coffee from a nearby café and the faint smell of car exhaust. I can hear the distant roar of jet engines, the chatter o...

"You got the goods?" I asked as silently as I could, being extra careful not to let anyone overhear. The hotel room is not soundproof after all.

“Do you really have to be this discrete?” Rana stared at me, unamused.

“Of course. There's no way I'm taking chances of anyone finding out about this."

I was in a bit of high spirits after talking with Chu. I think it made me a lot closer to him after he opened up. Wait, it's better than that, have I possibly made another frie...

-Up... wak-... Kat... time to wake up Kat, we're here," a soothing voice whispered in my ears.

"Huaah?!" I made a weird sound, a bit disoriented from someone abruptly waking me up with such nearby proximity

I stood straight returning to reality from the dreamland. I surveyed my surroundings and saw Liz giggling right beside me.

"I thought you were a bit harder to wake than that," she teased.

Anyone would rouse as easily as I did if you breached their personal space! View Post

*Ring, Ring, Ri-

I smashed the off button for my alarm before it even had the chance to wake me up completely.

Not today, my arch nemesis... not today.

I was mentally delighted with myself for my flawless victory in a hard-fought battle before I returned to Dreamland for a well-earned respite.

I move swiftly through the busy city streets of Stormreach, the largest city for max-level players. I seamlessly blend into the crowd of players and NPCs while trying to avoid drawing unnecessary attention.

With each step, I meticulously survey my surroundings, remaining vigilant for any potential witnesses. I alter my path, opting for less crowded areas and side streets to evade prying eyes. It was nighttime in the game, therefore the task at hand was e...

After a few minutes of chatting (mostly Clarissa and Dorge) while walking to conserve stamina for the upcoming battle, we finally arrived at the destination. A chilling breeze rustles through the skeletal remains of trees that stand sentinel around the area. At the entrance an eerily silent and despondent atmosphere greeted us. A faded wooden sign, barely clinging to a rusted chain, creaks in the wind, its lettering long worn away by the elements. The wooden beams supporting the entrance have...

The cobbled streets wind through the heart of the place I'm currently in. The market square is like the heartbeat of the town, pulsating with liveliness where most of the players sell their unwanted wares to players who need them for extra gold. Clarissa and I are currently in the town of Alderford, a quick stop for level 80-85 players to barter, trade, and recuperate their supplies for better grinding. We’ve been having smooth sailing leveling up the past few days. I’m currently level 83...

The air in the classroom buzzes with anticipation as students filter in, the shuffling of feet and the rustling of papers creating a symphony of pre-class activity. There's an eager energy, a mix of curiosity and apprehension, my classmates settle into their seats.

Some students are engaged in quiet conversations, discussing the upcoming material or sharing notes from the previous class. Others are absorbed in their laptops, typing away or scanning through digital textbooks with the use...

My opponent in front of me, a quiver strapped across her back drew her bow, intending to aim and fire at me the first moment possible. I tightened my grip on the butterfly swords in response, feeling the familiar weight and balance in my hands, preparing for the challenge ahead.

As the signal for battle rang, I launched forward while dodging the wind arrow she let fly, aiming to close the distance between us and disrupt her rhythm. But Zep...

Logging into the game, the town square bustled with life as the morning sun painted the cobblestone streets a warm golden hue. As I walked through the crowded city of Stormreach, a place for max-level players, towards my destination. While taking a leisurely stroll, A ping suddenly flashed at the corner of my eyes. It was a message from a guildmate.

I stood in front of our house, feeling a sense of reassurance wash over me after a long day of school as I glanced at our state-of-the-art security door. It was a marvel of modern technology and design, a formidable barrier between our home and the outside world. The door itself was sleek and imposing, made of reinforced steel with a finish that gleamed under the sunlight.

Approaching the door, I placed my palm against the biometric scanner. It hummed to life, the sensors quickly recogn...

The minute hand on the clock stretched closer to freedom, and the hum of eager anticipation began to fill the air. The professor’s voice, once vibrant with discussions and teachings, now softly faded into the background as the class inched towards its inevitable conclusion.

As I step into my room, anticipation flutters within me. Inside is a floor made up of wood in a bright golden tint. The walls and ceiling of the whole area are sky blue, my favorite color. It gives me a sense of freedom with its hue resembling the unrestricted morning sky. Littered on the walls are many posters and other things I could plaster onto it. Mostly composed of portraits of Team Paragon's members and a few other CoA-related arts. I walked until t...

“You have improved a lot in utilizing haste buff,” I praised Liz.

We had already taken the middle orb and currently heading towards the bottom orb after we had learned that Renz lost against their ace. On the bright side, Chu won the contest for the top orb, netting us one orb advantage and a 3v1. We can regroup and take the easy win, but I don’t think Chu would agree on that kind of play. He has always been stubborn and prideful and I’m sure he would be offended if I were to ev...

We are transported to a stage that mirrors a dilapidated ruin for our final qualifier battle. The surroundings depict remnants of a place that was once teeming with life. Stone walls, weathered by time and nature, stand in varying states of decay, whispering tales of a bygone era. Moss covers the cracks and crevices, while vines ascend the walls like inquisitive spectators. Scattered stones form irregular paths, compelling us to tread cautiously and honor ...
