After clearing 7 games they only had one last game arena left. The hardest 8th game arena. The group couldn't help but feel excited, their happiness became even more apparent when Zoel and Ezra woke up halfway to the arena.
The group had lots to ask the guys but they knew it wasn't the right time as they were getting closer and closer to their destination.
When they got there the group couldn't help but feel puzzled. Different from all their previous encounters this game arena was not as majestic but it definitely hit the home run with weirdness.
What they saw was a small wooden shed in the middle of a bamboo forest with a broken wooden plaque that had "Warlord" written on it.
After looking at each other and seeing the same puzzled look in each other's eyes the group once again felt helpless.
"I guess this is it?" Said Emily, while feeling unsure of her own statement.
The next second their attention was attracted by the sound of chopping wood and not too far away they saw a tall, robust man with a long beard and unkempt appearance.
"Umm... hello?" Asked Emir, trying to get the man's attention.
The man stopped chopping the wood and looked up at the group. His deep and piercing violet eyes made everyone uncomfortable as if they were prey and he was a monster.
Then, without giving anyone time to react the man made a motion with his hand and they were all sucked in by some kind of force, and once again the bamboo forest became quiet with only one man chopping the wood continuously.

Morana's POV
[Master Master]
'Shut up.'
[Oh thank god you're awake. I was so worried.]
'What happened?'
[That guy did something and you all got sucked into this dimension, I think you are in the game of this arena, but more about that later master now you are in danger you must move quickly.]
When I heard the worry in Jolly's voice I activated my seer ability and started fully observing my surroundings and sure enough, I soon found the sources of danger.
I was surrounded. There were about 30 of them and they were closing on me. It took me a second to get into my battle mode and I readied my soul dagger in one hand and started using the Ice ability I got from contracting Orion with the other hand.
And started to count down 3 2 1.
Just as they were getting ready to jump on me, I teleported behind one of the men and cut his throat with the dagger without giving him any possibility to react. At the same time, I used the Ice ability to create thousands of ice shards in the sky and attack them at the same time.
Some of the shards managed to kill their target but some still managed to react in time, and had no major wounds.
I didn't waste the time to think much, I just used the combination of my teleportation, ice affinity, and soul dagger to get rid of the rest of the group.
They were not strong enough and with the element of surprise, they didn't put up much of a fight so this whole thing was over in a matter of minutes.
After everyone was dead a screen appeared in front of me.
{Congrats, You've managed to get over the first ordeal but you still have much harder tasks to complete. The Evil demon king Dagon has risen an army and the human faction is losing. The last resistance left in the whole continent is the city of Gagra, If the city loses the last war the demons will win and humanity will be extinct. Your main task is to defeat the demon king Dagon and save humanity.}
Uugh, how tacky. Now I have to do some shitty hero stuff. Maybe I should just stay here and eat chocolate. I am sure others will do fine without me.
I thought and unbothered by all the bodies around me, I just sat near the tree and started eating the new flavor of chocolate I developed. It was no easy job, I must admit. First I had to convince that host from that game to give me some thunderous mountain snake venom Than I had to marinade my fresh cocoa beans in it for days, refine it mix it with purple eared unicorn's milk while also Integrating my ice affinity to make it like an ice-cream when I eat it but look like a chocolate bar. I must say the results were quite pleasing. I can't wait for the next experiment.
But of course just as I was enjoying my snack time someone had to get in trouble and ruin it.
"Help Help."I heard a familiar girl's voice.
I did consider ignoring it but then the screen appeared again and shattered my dreams.
{Your first allay has appeared. She's chased by the group of demons and is in grave trouble save her and she will help you complete the great quest.}
'Fu*k this' I thought, but then I heard a scream for help once again and remembered whose voice that was.
'Damn it. I knew I should have killed all those pig teammates from the beginning. One moment of benevolence and look what happened, they have even managed to ruin my snack time. They have no morals. If you are gonna die, at least do it quietly. Why bother others when they have better things to do.' I couldn't help but sigh at my harsh life and curse my shitty luck once again.
Just as I was pondering on whether to help the girl I recognized as Emily, I had to be unlucky enough for her to see me.
'Ugh fuck it. I still need to get out of this game anyway.'
