Chapter 11: Tatis Kingdom?
"Name?" The guard asked, with a tired tone and gave an annoyed look to Jack, as if he is bothering him.
"its...Jack Frost"
"Purpose of visit?" The guard asks.
"To rest for a few days and tour this place"
" *sigh* alright, stand on this magic circle to register your authorization"
Jack steps over the circle, after a few seconds it started to glow.
"Alright your good to go. Enjoy your stay" The guard said while yawning , not caring about his lax appearance.
Jack walked into the Tatis Kingdom. The guard gave him a brief introduction before asking his name. This kingdom is one of 3 kingdoms that exist in the earth continent. The kingdom located in a large plain field and a few kilometers from the forest that Jack finally got out from. Due to its large plain field, Adventurers visits are quite frequent as it is very easy to travel to the kingdom as long as you don't take the forest path.
Once you get through the gates, you can see stalls and buildings with a road on a straight path to the center of the kingdom but with alley ways between some buildings that connect to the other parts of the kingdom.
'I need somewhere to sleep....but I have no money for inns' While strolling through the village, Jack was thinking about his next move.
It was quite crowded as people wanted to buy the items the stalls sold. Though the crowd were buzzing with excitement and joy, the people in the stalls were the complete opposite. They looked sad,miserable and so not enthusiastic. Though a lot of them put smiles on their faces, to try and attract customers like their lives depended on it; they were doing it quite well but some can tell it was a facade like Jack since through his life, he talked to numerous people and learned to not be deceived by merchants or bad people and the like (well most of the time).
'what's with this place...first the guards and now the citizens are all gloomy' he thought.
"Ladies and gentleman! do you want to earn money fast?" A small chubby man in his 40's started preaching on a stool; with two younger people in hoods. He continued "Do you want to prove your strength and capabilities? Do you want to impress your future lover in the stands? Well then join and fight in our underground fighting arena! fight and win to earn money and earn more and more the more you win! If you are interested then take a leaflet given out by these two gentlemen here! Of course you will have to pay a fee of 10 gold coins if you want to watch or fight. However we are very generous, you can fight one of these two and if you win, you will be able to enter for free! However this is only for the first two people to beat one of them as it would be unfair due to injuries for them.
Some eagerly took the flyers but some didn't as ten gold was a lot of money for a lot of people. Some took the flyers but waited for the chance to fight the gentleman after they stopped handing out the flyers. Of course this interested Jack and he took a flyer and decided to wait as with his circumstances he can only enter if he beats one of them.
After a few minutes, the chubby man said "Alright now gather in a semi circle to see some brave people that want to fight my two men. Ah...by the way they are both level 40"
Those last words startled a lot of people.
"Level 40? Are you kidding! How is this being generous if they are impossible to defeat for most!" The crowd and most of the people wanting fight started to shout out. Some didn't as they were close or at level 40 or they still felt confident. Jack just didn't care about how high a person level is as he doesn't really know just how powerful a level 40 person can be or how big the difference of the levels are between them.
He does understand that his power at level 34 is greater then when he was level 33 but, since in the past he was extremely powerful, he is unable to really understand the major difference between the levels and to him its seen as small improvements.
"Ladies and gentlemen, we are offering a chance to participate for free and earn money which should be earned as this event is sponsored by many powerful people. As so we must have people that are powerful and entertaining. If you think this is shocking then let me tell you, many participants are at there level or even higher! So if you can't even beat them and have no money then there isn't a point for you to try to compete."
A lot of the people that wanted to fight one of the men backed down and only 15 people remained including Jack.
The way this worked is one of the participants will go and challenge one of the men and fight him. If the man wins then he switches with the other one and keep doing that for the other to rest until one of them is defeated which then the guy that isn't defeated will continue fighting without a rest. The losing participants will just go off and the next one will go.
"Hmph, this will be easy!" A tall muscular man with ginger hair and mustache said and walked forward. He pointed at the man to the right.
The muscular man drew his steel massive sword that's as big as his back! The shrouded man just smirked.
Jack took this time to sense the two's energy level which got converted to levels thanks to the blue core on his chest; the levels got projected through his eyes. The muscular man was level 39 and the shrouded man was indeed level 40, as with the other man.
The muscular man slashed down on the man, which was swiftly dodged by the man.
Bang! The sword made when colliding with the ground, creating a dent of the sword on the ground.
Swoosh! He swings from the ground. Whoosh! The man dodges.
Swoosh, whoosh, Swoosh, whoosh! A repeated cycle continued of the man swinging with his body while the man dodged with ease.
Everyone could clearly see who had the upper hand. The muscular man was dripping in sweat and was red all over, though its hard to tell if he is red due to exhaustion or embarrassment.
"Just finish him! This is starting to get boring!" The crowd shouted and attracting others from the street.
The muscular man got really pissed off and dropped his sword, he charged straight at the man with his arms wide open, to prevent him escaping this time.
The man simply smirked and then in a brief moment, the muscular man just stopped and fell to the ground!
What on earth happened? I didn't even see i! Those thoughts came about to everyone who watched the match.
Heck even Jack is surprised by what happened! His sense have greatly reduced so he wasn't able to see what the man did and only saw a few blurs from the man.
Another five participants tried a go, with them being level 38 to 39 and one even being level 40. However they all lost by both of the men.
The next participant came up and then the second shrouded man stepped forward. This participant was bald and gave off a enlightened vibe and wore monk clothes. He was level 38.
Blue aura started to surrounded the monk and then in an instant, he charged; closing the distance between them in a matter of moment!
With some palm technique the monk continuously attacked the man, changing the movement of his palms. Each strike can be seen being dangerous if it hits the man.
The crowd started cheering for the monk.
The man started to counter attack and moving the monks hands with his feet.
'seems like this man specialize with his feet while the other man focuses with his hands.'
pwak! Poom! Whoosh! The intense fight raged on between the two, with each of them using different skills! The man started to encase his feet with fire and twisting them to make fire walls from the monks fury of attacks.
Finally the fight came to a close by the man becoming too exhausted to continue fighting. However the monk didn't look tired at all!
"We have our first winner! You sir will get this ticket which is an entree pass for the event! Well done!"
A round of applause was given and the monk went back into the crowd to see if anyone else would win. However they also felt dissatisfied since he won due to the other one being exhausted
'Though that monk was weaker by level, he has better instincts and more battle experiences' Jack thought to himself.
"Next participant step forward! Only one ticket remain!"
Jack stepped forward before anyone else was able to. After seeing the monk, he can't risk someone else swooping in and beating the other guy. As this gets dragged longer and longer, the easier it will be for later participants as they would know the persons way of fighting.
'This will be easy'

Ultra
Ultra So my exams finished last Friday. So I will have a lot of free time! Finally stopped being lazy and posted xD.
I will try to post as much as I can but I don't know if it will be daily since this story was made on the spur of the moment and I am a noob to writing. So it takes me time to come up with some ideas for the story.
I'll still try my best and thanks for reading! Be sure to bookmark it, to follow my adventures of writing a novel and the MC adventurer of regaining what he has lost!
