As of right now... Lumina is having it's first player tournament! It's being held in Aurora with the support of the king and the prize the iron boar's core!

But what nobody knows is there is a special guest who nobody invited.

The first fight in the official tournament is beginning!

It's our hero, Arita, VS the magician Lithia.

Arita isn't going to use his physical powers in this battle. He is going to try out magic. He learned from watching magicians the spells: "Fireball", "Lightning", "Ice Ball".

Lithia is a female magic user with a magician's robe and a witches hat covering her long dark hair what reaches to her waist. Her eyes aren't seeable.

The reason Arita is going to use magic is because he didn't use magic ever before. He's heard it's an amazing sensation to first use magic.

Announcer: "The contestants are in place! The tension is high! And the bell will ring!"

The bell what announces the beginning rings. Immediatly both of them use magic.

Arita uses the simple magic: Fireball.

Because of Arita's huge mana pool it's 2x the size it should be.

Lithia used Water Spear to start with.

Water Spear is what it sounds like. It's normal sized.

They send their magic against eachother and keep throwing magic at each other.

The whole stadium looks with interest. Magicians usually overpower other players except other magicians. Lithia was the strongest magician from the player's side.

But to see Lithia in such a state... It was terrible. The reason was this: Arita was overpowering her. He kept sending fireball afture fireball, ice ball afture ice ball, lightning afture lightning.

Lithia could barely withstand the seemingly infinite barrage of magic by Arita.

When the barrage ended Arita was charging up a huge fireball. Lithia quickly tried to use defense magic: "Earth and Rock Wall"

But that failed... The firball broke through it and threw Lithia out of the arena with burns. She was defeated with ease. But suddenly.. Everybody felt a chill down their back... Something powerful just entered Aurora. Before anybody could react a dragon came down. It was huge. Everybody knew this type of dragon... "The Beast King" the ultimate boss... It has a mind of it's own. It's A.I is higher than anything.... It's basically a real dragon...

It came to meet Arita. Arita was the Caretaker. The Caretaker was basically the person who killed and ressurected the bosses so they would serve the greater good. The Beast King was no different.

The Beast King was blinded by power. He only came to meet his... Nemesis.

When he saw Arita he roared.

Arita looked at him shocked... The Beast King in a city... If he were to attack it would be catastrophic. It would destroy the whole city. He was immediatly reminded of the train incident when he thought that. He didn't go ballistic and throwing stuff around like he would in real life when he thought of that. He was rather calm.

The game forced people to lose their shock from real life. This helped patients to look past their fears and try new things. Upcourse because the VR was so new there was no proof of it. But the shock was deffinetly gone.

But before Arita... There stood the great dragon... The Beast King.

It suddenly talkd:

Beast King: "So you are the Caretaker huh...? I should get rid of you here but I want some fun!"

The story has been taken without consent; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.

Arita: "So... You are the beast king? Just as I heard.... You are big."

Beast King: " Oh... Thanks! Hmm... How should I assist you in your growth... Actually.. I won't. Makes it more interesting."

Arita: "Beast King... Why did you come here?"

Beast King: "To meet you! You are the one who saves the light from the darkness! Well you will die afture your job is done anyways."

Arita: "Players can't die!"

Beast King: "But you are special ain't you? Your dive gear is linked to your mind isn't it not?"

Arita: "Yeah..."

Beast King: "The other dive gears aren't directly linked to the mind. I know this because I am one of the bosses closest to the game base. When you are no longer neccesary in this game... They will terminate you. Upcourse you could start an uprise and link your mind into this game forever and never die... The ones who will terminate you are the gods. The creators of this game.The game server's can't be deleted. If they would they would lose too much money so they just have to get rid of you and reset this world with new things once you finish your business."

Arita: "So... I have to gather the cores huh? And then what?"

Beast King : "Ressurect them with your power. The Caretaker has a special hidden power what enables him to make the bosses his slaves. Even me if you defeat me! That will never happen though! Hahahaha!"

Arita: "Hmm.... But why should they terminate me? Will they just delete my account?"

Beast King: "The problem is higher than that. Your father was the genius who was actually helping fund this. Upcourse you don't want to be reminded of your family much and you forgot that alot of your family were geniuses. Even you. But because of that... Incident... They all died. They decided to use you to test out the game. They decided to publish this so they could test out the game and when it's done they will release a DLC where the Caretaker is no longer neccessary. Oh and I was created by your father. When you were heading towards the Luminate Corps your father was actually working for them already. He just wanted to surprise you and used that as a cover-up."

Arita: "He.... Was.... He... Created... You?"

Beast King: "I was specially created by your father. He created me because he knw Luminate Corps was going to get rid of him one or another way. So he created me to help you in-game to rebel against the gods."

Player from the crowd: "Hahahaha! This sounds insane!"

The beast king glares at the player and his head blows up.

Beast King: "Well i've seen you. Time for me to go. Oh and before I go. I'll be taking the Iron Boar's core."

Arita: "But that's the prize!"

Beast King: "Do I care?"

Arita: "Seems you don't..."

The Beast king took the iron boar core and left... Everybody was shock. The First Official tournament ended because the prize was gone. Nobody knew what to do. The Beast King wanted to help the caretaker so the king ordered guards to arrest him. Arita didn't resist because he was in deep thought and didn't notice before he was already in the strongest prison in Aurora.

What will Arita do now? How will he get out? Why would the Luminate Corps try to get rid of him? We shall find out in due time. First Arita will have to kill and enslave all the bosses though!
