Chapter 26: 25

[Battle Royale, Start!]

Fifth day since the game launched. When I logged in a little before 10 a.m., when the event would start, the Beginner Town was crowded with players.

Everybody had their status window open and was getting ready for battle.

“Okay, maybe I should check my status too.”

“Mhm~, look at that Luck…!”

Thanks to the bonus from my skills and equipment, it had almost reached 2500! The main stat of other level 30 players was in the range of 400, so that was six times as many. Just, wow.

It was when I was grinning at my unbelievable number of Luck. A player who was apparently walking with his eyes focused on his status window bumped into me from behind, causing me to stagger forward.

But then a strong, manly arm supported me by the shoulder.

“You okay, beautifully dressed miss? The street is so crowded, it’s dangerous to stay here. How ‘bout you and I go to some quieter place?”

Blergh. I was about to say thanks, but then I heard those words clearly filled with ulterior motives coming from above me.

Well, that didn’t change the fact that I owed him a favor. I looked up at the other person’s face and was going to quickly say thanks and leave when…

““It’s you!””

…The person turned out to be the baldhead bastard, again. This made it the third time I’d been hit on by this guy.

We stared at each other in mute amazement before we both released deep sighs, ““Haaa~~~””

◆◆◇◆

“Dammit, Yuri! Every time I thought I’d found my destined one, why did it always have to be you?! What the fuck is going on?!”

“How the hell am I supposed to know that, you baldhead!”

We sat on the edge of the fountain, snarling at each other. Come to think of it, this had always been our routine since day one.

Jeez, what a pain in the ass, I slurped down the juice with a random flavor I’d bought at a stall.

Wha-, ngggg?!

“Cough, cough! The hell is this… it tastes like a mix of lemon, grape, and kiwi. Ugh, I hate sour stuff, gimme a break…”

“Gahaha! They sometimes sell stuff with strange tastes in this game. Want me to finish it for ya?”

“Mm, please do.”

After I handed the overly sour juice to the baldhead, glug glug glug~ he chugged it all down in one go. For better or worse, he sure was a manly guy.

As I was watching him, I picked up voices from the surroundings.

“Dammit, how could such a muscular barbarian bastard be with such a beautiful girl…!”

“Explode, explode…!”

“I’mma kill him as soon as I find him on the field…!”

Oh, the baldhead was getting a lot of attention. Even though he was just talking to me, the guys around us all directed their bloodlust at him.

“Hey, baldhead, did you do something bad?”

“Huh? Not that I know of?”

“Right~, you’re a good guy, after all. Ah, that reminds me, you have any spare accessories lying around? It seems you can equip up to three, but I only wore two.”

“What? That’s a waste. Then, Yuri, lemme give you this ‘Poison Resistant Ring’. It’s sold by NPCs, so you can take it without worry.”

“Oh, thanks~.”

I took the ring that slightly reduced the chance of being poisoned. At that moment, the surrounding players became even rowdier.

“He gave her a ring in public…?!”

“Ugaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa exploooooooooode!”

“I’mma kill that muscly lowly bastard, absolutely!”

Ooooh, it felt like I was in the middle of packs of starved beasts! Everybody sure was on fire!

“Let’s give it our best today, baldhead!”

“Yeah, bud. I ain’t gonna lose to ya!”

It was when we bumped our fists.

Suddenly, light popping sounds echoed throughout the city, and confetti of many colors fluttered down from the sky.

Oh, it looked like the event was about to start.

[—Warriors! I thank you for gathering here today!]

A voice echoed from the distant sky. Then, a projection of an old man with a big beard wearing a crown appeared in the sky. He got the king look down to a T.

As tens of thousands of players looked up at him, the old man continued, [Our name is Odin. Ruler of this Glazheim Kingdom.

Now, I have invited all of you to gather here today for a very important matter. In preparation for the decisive battle with the demon king, the ruler of darkness who has caused monsters to appear all over the world, I would like you to demonstrate your strengths.

Therefore, I will hold a battle royale event in which all players can participate!]

At that moment, the scream Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!! reverberated across the Beginning Town!

I was getting hyped up, too. There were currently over fifty thousand players in this game, I bet it was gonna be fun fighting them all!

[Hohoho, I will continue the explanation.

Some of you warriors may have a business to do. Therefore, from now until midnight, the battle royale will be divided into five rounds with an hour’s break in between.

The first round will be held from 10 a.m. to noon, the second round from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m., the third round from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m., the fourth round from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m., and the fifth round from 10 p.m. to midnight.

Regardless of which one you choose to participate in, I promise to reward those who survive until the very end!』

After the old man said so, a window with detailed rules appeared in front of me.

Let’s see~.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

・From now on, the battle royale will be held in 5 rounds!

The participants will be randomly teleported to a special field that is identical to Beginning Town, where the battle royale will be held.

20 ‘Event Recovery Potions’ will be distributed to the participants. Event Recovery Potion is an excellent item that can recover either HP or MP to the maximum when used, but other recovery items will be prohibited during the event.

You are free to participate in all 5 rounds, but you can also just spectate and enjoy the show.

Livestreams of the battle royale will be displayed in the sky of Beginning City and there will also be a mini-game where you can bet with in-game currency on which player will survive and how long a player will survive, feel free to enjoy the event however you want.

And, of course, there will be rewards for top-performing players!

A rare item will be given to those who survive until only 10% of the participants remain.

An extremely rare item will be given to those who survive until only 100 participants remain.

An even more extremely rare item will be given to those who survive until only 10 participants remain.

And the last player standing will receive a special reward from Odin.

In addition, the participants will be given a separate reward depending on the number of players they have defeated, so please be sure to give it your all and defeat as many players as you can!

*The recordings of the battle royale will be uploaded on video platforms for advertisement purposes, so please don’t do a jerk move like hiding and waiting until all other players get eliminated or something, for real. (The developer)

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

“…I see, I see. Simply put, I just have to go on a rampage.” I figured out the rules, ignoring the explicit appeal from the dev at the end.

Of course, as a man, I must participate in all five rounds and win them all!

I nudged my buddy beside me with my shoulder.

“Hey, baldhead, just making sure, you’re gonna participate in the first round, aren’t you?”

“Obviously. In fact, I’m gonna participate in all of ‘em!”

“Oh, that makes us both, then. We’re gonna compete all day today!”

I was glad the baldhead was also full of motivation. After exchanging a grin, we turned to the [Will you participate in the first round of the battle royale event?] window that had popped before each of us and touched the Yes buttons.

At that moment, our bodies began to be enveloped in blue light.

As many of the surrounding players also decided to participate, Odin shouted out loud at the end, [Well then, let us start the battle royale! Warriors, fight until you have exhausted every last drop of your strength!!!]

While I was listening to the old man’s words, my vision got swallowed by light.
