Jae-sung felt a sense of awe as he entered the arena, the energy of the place was palpable. He could feel the weight of eyes his piercing his body.

He made his way to the center of the arena, where his opponent was waiting for him. Baek-hyun was a young man, tall and muscular, with a fierce look in his eyes. His hair was a dark orange wearing a black hoodie. It was the fire breather from before. He was able to control and manipulate fire with ease.

Jae-sung and Baek-hyun stood facing each other, the crowd watching in silence. Baek-hyun had a confident expression.

"Wont be going easy on yah"

Baek-hyun was the first to attack, summoning a massive ball of fire and launching it towards Jae-sung. Jae-sung quickly dodged, and at the same time, he conjured a wire from his body and used it to bind the Baek-hyun's legs, preventing him from moving.

Baek-hyun struggled to break free, but Jae-sung was too quick, he had closed the distance. Right before making contact he solidified his bones in metal, making him extremely heavy. Then proceeded to punch the fire user in the solar plexus.

Baek-hyun had began to grow reptilian scales, but it had already been too late. The impact had boomed sending Baek-hyun flying into a wall. Where he laid incapacitated.

Jae-sung walked out of the arena victorious, he was successful in winning the match while concealing most of his powers. The crowd had roared.

Now he wouldn't be placed against amateur opponents. They could now estimate Jae-sung's power, making him one of the fastest growing awaken's in Korea.

Winners are rewarded in this world, which Jae-sung grew accustomed too. He had received a decent sum of Won for his endeavors.

It seemed that was the final battle that was orchestrated for this time. Jae-sung began to make his way through a crowded hallway.

As he was about to turn the corner, he collided with someone. He looked down to see Seo-yun, looking up at him with an annoyed look on her face.

"Watch where you're going," Seo-yun said, fixing her hair.

"You too," Jae-sung replied, brushing his shirt.

Jae-sung couldn't help but admire Seo-yun's beauty, her plump thighs and deep blue eyes captivated him.

"I have to say, I was impressed by your battle. You truly are a skilled warrior," Seo-yun said, with a hint of bravado in her voice.

"Thank you, I appreciate the compliment," Jae-sung replied with a small smile.

"I was wondering, would you like to train with me sometime? I could use a partner with your skills," Seo-yun said, trying to sound as casual as possible.

"Maybe some other time, I have something important to take care of," Jae-sung explained

"Fine, I'll hold you to it," Seo-yun said, as she turned and walked away, leaving Jae-sung standing there, watching her go.

Jae-sung now returned to his main goal of farming the dungeons. It would have to take place on the next day after he had recouped and came up with the game plan. Tomorrow he would set off to slay an ogre.
