I power walk to the teleportation circle and in a flash, a white blinding light suddenly envelopes and teleports away from the reception hall.
Right now, I am standing in so kind of deserted street, with destroyed vehicles and buildings surrounding . Above , the sun is hanging brightly but in a very unusual way, as there is a crimson glow at the center of it. This place is called “Arena 01” and it is also what players and gamblers call level 1.
I have been here on different occasions and I have always cleared this ground easily with my beast gears. Although, I always face difficulties when I get to Arena 03, which often forces to quit the match by tapping on the glowing runes which are on my left wrist right now.
However, the most amazing thing is that I can’t explain how their teleportation circle and runes work. But according to reports, I learned that the teleportation circle is powered by a very strange crystal.
But still, the amount of energy that is expended in order to teleport soone to a random, forsaken, zombie-filled street is no child’s play. Therefore, this makes the existence of the runes on my wrist and the teleportation circle inexplicable.
Nevertheless, the power-ups seem to be involved in this, as it’s also used as a way to kill two birds with one stone, when the players eliminate the zombies and mutants. There have even been so cases whereby players die before being able to quit the match. That’s the reason why one is instructed to sign a contract before becoming a player.
Tony and the rest of my friends are the ones who always bet on when gamblers ignore my matches because of my poor record despite being a five-star player. (Though it’s still my money, it’s like earning money in two different ways.)
Moreover, underaged peeps are also not allowed to gamble, but we have our ways…fufu.
[They are coming, master…]
The system’s words suddenly flash before my eyes. Right now, it looks so serious.
I look ahead a few ters away from and see about twenty zombies walking towards . Their skins are rotten and peeling off as they weirdly stagger towards . So of them even have huge chunks of flesh ripped off from their bodies, revealing their bones. The higher the level of a zombie, the faster and more intelligent they get.
It’s rumored that high-level zombies barely have any rotting flesh on them and that they can talk and even have abilities. Nevertheless, they are very hard to co by and are very dangerous because of their insane agility. But no doubt, the zombies in front of are level one.
Seeing these zombies get closer to , a smile begins to form on my face…
I instantly access my inventory and bring out three packs of blood. In the next mont, a sudden burst of aura explodes from my body, then my eyes and skin turns bright red…
In a flash, the blood packs explode, and the blood inside them cos together to form a blood sphere which hovers above .
Of course, I wouldn’t want to waste my ability on these low-level zombies, which is why I resorted to using my blood power.
I don’t know much about my blood power yet, but I was able to create so skills with it the first ti I used it. And right now, I seem to have another idea of what to create with the blood sphere that is hovering above .
I let the blood sphere float above my palm and begin to divide it into small dots which are numbering about one thousand. Next, the dots start to form sothing similar to bullets.
[Ding!]
[You have created a new blood skill “Blood bullets”]
Seeing this, a smile creeps up in my face, and without wasting any ti, I launch the blood bullets at the zombies that are only a few ters away from .
The blood bullets move at an eye-breaking speed and hit the zombies, causing severe damage as the bullets burst holes through their bodies and make their heads explode like waterlons.
Within the blink of an eye, all the zombies beco eliminated as their bodies are blasted several ters away.
Suddenly, upon my quick victory, a white blinding light envelopes , and in the next mont, I am teleported into an odd, yet familiar room. The room is painted white with nurous lights illuminating it.
“Congratulations upon completing your first match. You have won 2,000 dollars. Will you like to proceed to Arena 02?”
A chanical voice suddenly sounds…
I look up and see a white, humanoid robot whose lower part is made up of wheels.
Then, the robot starts walking towards with a large tablet in its hand.
“I would like to proceed to Arena 02,” I tell the robot.
“Affirmative, player JR5… would you like to use your winnings to wager, or would you also like to use the money in your player’s card?” The robot asks, looking at my face.
“How much will I get in return if I stake 2,000 dollars…?” I ask.
“You’ll get 4,000 dollars in return upon clearing Arena 02…” The robot replies promptly.
“Damn…. 2.00 odds? That’s so small…” I say with a groan.
“Player JR5, the odds vary based on the number of people that are betting on you. Right now, no one is betting on you, that is why we are using the default odd which is 2.00. If you stake a particular amount of money, you’ll get double that amount as your winnings.” The robot informs .
I see… so if I put 5,000 dollars right now, I’ll get 10,000 dollars in return huh? It’s just like double the amount I wagered. Well, this default odds will probably last for only a few levels, once I get to level 5, I’ll start to captivate people’s interest, causing them to wager on . And in return, the odds will spike up….fufufu.
“I’d like to stake 2,000 dollars on the next match…” I tell the robot.
“Affirmative, player JR5… please proceed to Arena 02…” The robot tells , gesturing with its hand as it points toward a large teleportation circle a few ters away from .
In the next mont, I enter the teleportation circle, and I am teleported to the next Arena.
I clear three more Arenas using my blood power and unbeknownst to , people are beginning to have an interest in and are even willing to wager on my next match.
