"And that brings the end of another event! Ladies and Gentlemen, Kira Yoshikage, the winner of Maze Trampling!" Dr. Reed announced.

"Hey, why didn't he announce my name!" Nate frowned, "that's not cool!"

"Doofus he doesn't know who you are, unlike Kira or other players who announced their in-game identity, we haven't yet done so, " Luke commented as he looked at Kira walking back to the VIP section.

"Oh right, anyway, you're up next," Nate said with a thumbs up.

"Now onto the next event! That is Monster Hunting! I have to tell you, this event is a little unique, it was specially designed and made by our beloved Chairman Kenny Smith, the event is simple. Kill and slaughter. Killing monsters gains you points, each monster is worth 1 point, here's the best part, if you kill someone you get half their points and by the end of 60 minutes the player with the most points or the last player remaining is deemed the winner," Dr. Reed said,

"Without wasting any more time, Monster Hunting, everybody!"

"Haah, I'm up," Luke said as he got up.

"Good luck!" Nate joked.

"Ha ha, very funny," Luke showed a specific finger to his friend.

Once again, the eyes of the crowd were drawn to Luke, he wore a baggy hoodie to a formal event, he looked like a low-life druggie with the mask and his messy blue hair. Did Luke care? definitely not but did Luke know that people were looking at him? no. He's lived with horrible luck all his life, even though it's not very noticeable, it is true, his luck affects the smallest of things but all this time the only reason he's been able to hold off was thanks to his own strength(s) or at least he thought so. Naturally, because of such a situation, Luke was the center of attention quite a lot, slowly as a defense mechanism he learned to not notice the condescending gaze of others, however as a price he was also robbed of the ability to notice an appreciating gaze.

'Can't wait for PvP, what was his name? Jetski? or something, my stats may be stupidly low but watch me win the match between us blindfolded,' usually, such comments wouldn't affect Luke but for some reason, JetSky irked him, something about him annoyed Luke, 'wait maybe he's taking part in this as well? I didn't see him in any of the other ones....perhaps..'

Luke walked casually until he finally reached the capsule and entered it, it was awfully comfortable, of course, compared to a mere headset anything would be better. As soon as he logged in, he was met with an unfamiliar view, instead of finding himself somewhere in between the Norse Kingdom and Aeternum, all Night could see was weird volcanic rocks. They were of different colors, black, brown, some were a mixture of black and red, some were grey, naturally, it could be deduced that it was a volcanic region but this was what Kenny planned, he confused them by mixing the characteristics and properties of multiple regions.

Night looked around to see trees of different types, awkwardly placed. Some had mangoes, some housed tiny birds, some belonged to a species that didn't exist. He could feel the dry breeze blowing, the entire location was a mystery, something that isn't possible. Just as he tried to move, Night realized something that put a smile on his face. It was snow, Night was standing on snow, he was sure that if he were to move around he probably would find some other mixture but as of now, his current location was the most ideal.

Unlike Nate, who wasn't fully comfortable with his powers, Night had a natural talent for adapting and letting his strength flow. However, unlike his real-life self, Night couldn't sense or even look at the flow of energy in objects, not yet at least. However, he was more than comfortable with using his arsenal of skills, he was yet to try out his Niflheim skill tree but Night planned on saving it, he would probably not show it to the public unless and until he had no other choice, perhaps in the clan battle.

Goblins were the first species he found though he knew they were definitely not the last, if Night were to guess, he would probably find, kobolds, scorpions, harpies, skeletons, etc. Luke didn't waste any time, they were a large number of players taking part, it was more than 3 times Accuracy Spike, there were a total of 100 players, KYOJIN literally had to bring in more capsules, thankfully the stadium was big enough to fit all the capsules.

The large number of players would work to his advantage, the audience may not notice if accidentally used his powers. However, unbeknownst to Night, a group of 5 individuals all stared right at the screen that projected his gameplay.

"It's him...." Valerian said, "I know for a fact that it's him,"

"Is he planning on revealing his identity to the world?" Noxx asked.

"I'm not sure but doesn't Genesis capture a player's real-life appearance as well?" Leo, Noxx's brother replied, "why didn't we see him then?"

"Well this should definitely be entertaining," Layla mused.

"..." Aurora was the only one who stayed quiet, instead she took out her phone and sent her grandfather a text since there wasn't only one VIP section, physically finding Jace would take forever, instead she texted him the screen that projected Night and had asked him to look at his movements.

In another VIP section,

"Hmm? my granddaughter says this "Night" is the one on that screen," Jace said while pointing at the huge projection in front of them.

"Him? indeed, his movements seem extraordinary but they aren't anything out of this world but I can't shake this feeling when I look at him," K replied.

"What feeling?"

"This familiar feeling, that Night reminds me of someone, I'm not sure who,"

"Perhaps the age is slowly getting to you as well my friend," Jace chuckled.

"Hmmm....perhaps.."
