The morning, Owen got ready and walked out of the room. He saw Leon coming on the left and they went out of the Campus.

The city was preparing for an upcoming festival; Owen asked Leon “what is this? Is there any festival" and Leon replied "'sun of the valley' don't you know about it where we enjoy showing the lives lost in the battle that has not gone in vain" and Owen nodded.

On the side there was a casino man bumped into Owen and grabbed his legs said “please help me” two men came out of the casino and dragged him inside.

Owen was about to help the man Leon stopped said "he lost we can't do nothing, if you don't mind can we play" Owen replied "no, we are not going" but....; they played and lost.

Bald head man with white over coat and red tie said it with laugh “to see youngling to go there" suddenly two pins were shot each of them.

They felt dizzy, Owen felt his body being dragged. They were thrown into the cell and Owen woken by Leon who just regained his consciousness. As he looked around its kind a dark four beds on side.

One side a man was sitting looked at him wear red underwear full of scar over body "young lads, what r U doing here” asked that man "where are we" said the Owen; "it's an illegal tournament organised by Order of lost rings also known as serpent" the man said; "oh yeah I remember, I have heard this name before among the teacher too" Leon said; " So we have to win the tournament" Owen asked;" yes" the man replied. The iron bar started opening “it seems like it’s going to start " the man said; the man starts walking outside Owen and Leon followed him as they walked others joined them.

When the walked out of the tunnel, they saw huge stadium with people were masks. “Welcome everybody” a voice introduced; Leon and Owen saw something was coming out thin body, a long hands and legs with smile mask, a man stretched is hands and said “today they are new newbie and let start the match”; the man turned to Owen and Leon said “go out there defeat the person you see or else u will be here forever”; there was ring, people from other tunnel came and clashed.

Owen and Leon also entered and started fighting. Leon took his hammer used a spell and smashed the ground. The wave passed and which made others fly by this others targeted Leon. On seeing this Leon said “come on weakling let me devour” took his hammer and ran towards them. Owen stood helpless and saw everything.

A bulky fat man wearing mask axe in his hand noticed Owen moved toward him and Owen started running on his side a lizard man running toward him when the claws about touch him. The man who they talked previously, grabbed the tail of that lizard and smashed on ground. An axe struck the man’s shoulder, he fell on his knee. Owen was seeing as the fat man took the axe from his shoulder and was about to cut his head; Owen heart pumped faster and suddenly he started becoming unconscious when the axe was few inches away.

The axe with his hand fell, the fat man saw his hand and shouted hold his cut arm with blood flowing from it and looked on his side. Owen holding the sword; the man screamed in pain. The fat was about took another axe, before he touches the axe his head fell and rolled towards the man who saved Owen.

The man was surprised to see Owen, his aura was different. Owen turned Leon side rushed towards him at great speed; he stretched left arm a sword appeared out of nowhere. The man was astonished to see the sword “Only a few high-level swordsmen were able to do, how can he do it” the man thought it to himself; “Hey, young lad bend down” the man shouted at Leon; Leon heard bend and he stood up other’s head and body was cut, and blood flown like a fountain in the middle Owen stood when others stopped fighting.

After a long year the tournament was filled in blood and there was a silence. Owen moved at others and started slashing them. It was a massacre; some were trying to fight Owen, and some wanted to escape. The skinny man with smile mask didn’t want his participant to be killed; he raised his arm a purple ball appeared in front of his palm. Leon from the side struck the man hand. The man was surprised “Oh my what do we have here” he said looking at Leon.
