A lonely-looking player with bloodied knuckles, messy hair, and an exhausted face was standing in the middle of five fallen Players.
His eyes showed the adrenaline rush that was running through his veins.
Around him, the excited shouts of the spectators kept ringing in his ears.
He covered his ears, hoping for the sounds to disappear, but he felt like the shouts became even louder.
Against all odds, he won the Arena match and was the last one standing.
Even though he should be happy for winning, he wasn't.
It was the most nerve-wracking thing he had done, and it was a miracle that he could keep standing on his two feet.
But, once the adrenaline rush ends, who knows what happens to his body.
The five fallen players soon disappeared from the arena and were teleported inside a resting room located somewhere in Colosseum.
Every player who reaches 0 HP in the Colosseum doesn't die, instead gets healed miraculously in the resting room, which location was a complete mystery.
Inside one of the VIP Rooms.
Isaac was amazed at the things he saw.
''Strong!'' He had to admit that the Player showed what true Master of Martial Arts Techniques looks like!
The Player was part of Brawler Class and easily dealt with Assassins Stealth, Archer's Arrows, and Gunner's Machine Gun blows.
The way Brawler fought was something Isaac hadn't seen before.
It wasn't as brute-like as he expected; instead, it was very masterful, and he can only imagine how strong Pro Brawler Players are.
At the bottom of the Colosseum.
The beautiful woman reappeared from the wide-open door and shouted with excitement, ''We have a winner!''
''Player Fist is the victor!''
*CHEERS!*
The spectators almost jumped on their feet, but managed to keep themselves in control, instead kept stomping the floor.
The children kept waving their hands with excitement.
From all the way to the spectator stands, they couldn't manage to see any blood. Instead, the beautiful sight of the Brawler dodging all the attacks against all odds and sending attacks, which defeated his opponents with ease.
With one punch, a Player fell down to the ground.
With one kick, a Player was sent flying.
Fist, the Player who won shakily nodded towards the beautiful woman, who responded with a smile and a gentle look.
Suddenly, a holographic lottery wheel appeared in the air.
Fist frowned and wondered what it was.
''This is Wheel of Victory.'' She calmly explained to Fist, spectators, and everyone who had thoughts about becoming a Gladiator.
''The one who wins has a chance to spin the wheel once.'' She smiled, and when she touched the wheel, her hand went through it.
''The Gods also blessed the wheel, and only the match winner can spin it.''
The spectators looked amazed and soon erupted in cheers.
Fist gulped and didn't know that he had to rely on his luck to get something from his hard-earned victory.
His hand shakily touched the wheel, and with a leap of faith, he used all his remaining strength to spin the wheel!
Every word in the wheel became blurry, unrecognizable, and hazy.
The beautiful woman waited calmly while Fist could barely stand still.
Inside the VIP Room.
Isaac leaned closer and narrowed his eyes, trying to use his eyesight to its fullest limits.
The wheel became slower and slower until… It stopped.
Fist gulped and saw the wheel stopping in a golden-colored area, which was the smallest area the wheel could stop at.
The beautiful woman instantly became excited, ''Player Fist has won Legacy Quest!''
Fist and everyone in the Colosseum had to register those words in their minds.
The spectators were the first ones who reacted.
*CHEERS!*
Screams of excitement rang in the Colosseum, reaching all the way to the Royal Layer!
Fist covered his face in disbelief, 'I won… Legacy Quest?!'
''Congratulations, Player Fist— I wish you luck!'' She waved her hand, and Fist suddenly disappeared from the arena and appeared somewhere in Colosseum in his own room.
She smiled and looked towards the spectator stands, ''Next match will start in 10 minutes, don't go anywhere!'' She turned around and hopped back to the doors.
The spectators became excited at the upcoming matches and could barely sit still.
Isaac stood up from the sofa and glanced at [Become a Gladiator], but soon turned around and left the VIP Room.
He saw enough, and it was something he had never seen before.
The trembling of the floor was still making his heart beat rapidly.
*Ba-Dump*
*Ba-Thump*
''Huuu…'' Isaac took a deep breath and somewhat calmed his heartbeat, even though his fingers were still trembling.
Soon, he reached the vast part of the corridor, where NPCs and Players were entering both left and right paths.
''Sir, are you done spectating?'' The beautiful woman who showed Isaac the way to the VIP Room appeared next to him and asked.
''Yes,'' Isaac replied and walked past her, making her surprised.
Rarely anyone would want to miss a chance to talk with her, but Isaac's thoughts weren't on her.
It made her curious, 'Legacy Carriers are indeed different…' She thought with a lick of her lips.
Once Isaac reached the area close to the entrance, he had to walk past NPCs and Players that seemed in a hurry to enter the Colosseum.
But, while he was walking, he noticed two shady-looking individuals whispering with each other only meter away from him.
Isaac stopped and acted like he wasn't listening to them, even though his ears were slightly perked up.
''Did you hear?'' A shady-looking figure with a few strands of brown hair peeking through his hood asked.
''About what?'' His friend asked, while his concentration was on the beautiful female gladiators.
''The previous winner received Legacy Quest.'' He said with a grin and asked, ''Should we go kill him?''
''Why?'' His friend asked nonchalantly.
''For fun.'' He replied with a shrug, ''It sounds fun, doesn't it?''
''Well… Yeah.'' His friend replied, but then he asked, ''If I would ask one of those beautiful gladiators out, would they accept?''
''Nah, you ugly.''
''Shit.'' His friend looked defeated and nodded with the shady-looking figure and entered the left path.
Isaac turned around and looked curious, ''Hmm… Those two must be arrogant or stupid… I highly doubt that the Brawler will lose, but I kind of want to witness it…'' He looked around him and followed after the two shady individuals.
