Chapitre 261: Round two... Part-1.

In this knockout-type tournament, Rio has to win six consecutive matches if he wants to claim the title of champion.

His first match ended in an overwhelming victory against Arner, which increased his popularity even further.

In bars and clubs all over the world, people have started to place bets on his name.

Although this tournament built a solid reputation for him, Rio didn't care much about it.

This reputation will undoubtedly benefit him in the future, giving him priority when conquering dungeons, but for Rio, being popular didn't hold much interest.

Many popular awakeners in this world have a massive fan following, and some of them even sell 'Merch' to their fans to earn extra money.

You can sit back and sell some random 'Merch' to your fans, earning enough money to live a peaceful life after retirement.
