Chapter 1776: Benefits
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
The ones under Sorrowless only grumbled, but they didn’t dare to complain. They didn’t think that Sorrowless had a moment of glory, defeating three opponents at once. However, Sorrowless had complete authority in Glory Capital. Therefore, even if other people had their opinions, they could only sit in silence. White Westhill was just ridiculing him, but now she was representing the others to rebuke him.
The atmosphere surrounding Drizzle Court was a little heavy. However, giving up was not an option.
Drizzle Court once again gathered their morale, preparing for the upcoming Team Battles. Although all their team members this time were females, they were still fierce and fiery under
Water Fairy’s leadership.
First, there was a two for one trade, where they managed to successfully kill Sorrowless. There were now three members remaining from Drizzle Court: Water Fairy, Deadly Green Orange and Star Baby. They seemed to hold a grudge against Sorrowless and aimed to kill him first.
Dawn wasn’t a game where one person could conquer and ignore everything. No matter how good Sorrowless’ items were, he was not invincible.
Of course, killing Sorrowless did not guarantee Drizzle Court’s victory. Glory Capital once again proved themselves through their might and power. Furthermore, during this battle, they revealed a lot of their new items and skills.
Even if Drizzle Court was fighting normally, Glory Capital wouldn’t be this reckless with showing their hidden cards.
Drizzle Court couldn’t fight Glory Capital as a whole, but they could at least inflict some damage.
Drizzle Court ended up losing. It was hard to describe their feelings with words, but Water Fairy’s tears were enough.
Lu Li was concerned and went up to her, hugging her tightly. He swore to avenge her.
The match results between Ruling Sword and Gale Legion was quite predictable as well.

Moonlight defeated Gaze one on one, then fought Cloudy Leaf. Fat Monkey then defeated Cloudy Leaf and even managed to take Torrent with him.
His battle against the Hunter, Torrent, was a classic battle of the ages. From an analytical standpoint, it was a flawless fight. He did not make a single mistake during it. Otherwise, he would not have been able to defeat his opponent with a few hundred HP remaining. A small mistake would have cost Fat Monkey his life.
In the Team Battles, Lu Li had organized for a dual-healer set up. With March Rain and Innocent Child, it seemed like they were just bullying them.
Gale Legion didn’t know what to do. They could have also arranged a dual-Healer team composition. Angry City Dweller, their Shaman, had a full set of Healing items. These items were usually bought at the lowest bidding price. However, he couldn’t compare to Innocent Child.
For Healing classes, Innocent Child may have not been the best Healer. After all, the power differences between the classes were not so easily closed with just skills alone. However, as a Support Healer, he was undoubtably the strongest.
The dual-Healer set up for Ruling Sword was deadly, and Gale Legion could not put together an offensive team with enough firepower to overcome the healing of Ruling Sword.
They were absolutely crushed in the Team Battles. Gale Legion also wanted to kill Lu Li, doing the same as Drizzle Court had done.
It wouldn’t be easy. A Mage could only do so much when being focused on.
It was easy for Thieves to escape. They could just run, while Mages could not.
Lu Li casually strolled around the arena, attracting the attention of all the competitors from Gale Legion. Then, as they were in pursuit of Lu Li, they slowly found themselves losing member after member. After they realised this and tried to regather themselves, it was already too late.

This was still quite an exciting match.
However, the smart ones would have seen Gale Legion’s failure. They failed to complete the objective of their strategy, unlike Drizzle Court. Drizzle Court managed to expose many of Sorrowless and other Glory Capital members’ hidden skills and effects.
Moonlight and Gaze were once equals. However, during this battle, there were clear differences in strength.
Although Fat Monkey had a great performance himself, it wasn’t to the level of Moonlight’s battle. Everyone’s attention was on the two Berserkers and people even tried to figure out if something was wrong with Gaze. Some even hypothesised that he was going to leave Gale Legion.
The Semi-Finals were now complete. In the end, it was Ruling Sword and Glory Capital who advanced to the Finals. It was the same result as previous times.
This was a normal match up. They were equals in terms of strength at the time, so having the same match up was not surprising at all.
However, this time, they didn’t know whether Ruling Sword would win again.
Ruling Sword had already performed many miracles. During their early days, the public would all be in favour of Glory Capital winning, but now, it was completely different. The results were completely unknown.
“We definitely can win this time.”
Lu Li was the last one to enter the arena.
“That’s it?” Fat Monkey couldn’t believe it and looked at Lu Li, asking, “Are you not going to promise some benefits?”
“What do you want?”
Lu Li was not happy at all for being interrupted.
“I don’t have a girlfriend yet, do I?” Fat Monkey replied, then looked at Lu Li with hopeful eyes.
“Girlfriend?” Lu Li shook his head and joked, “No, they don’t exist. How about a boyfriend?”
“Screw you! I’m going to lose on purpose now. Someone, buy my services! Just give me 5 gold and I’ll die willingly,” Fat Monkey grumbled and whined, but everyone ignored him.
Glory Capital thought about paying someone to be their spy.
However, they couldn’t pick a suitable person. March Rain was out of the question, since they she and Lu Li had a close relationship since the beginning of the game and were instrumental in each other’s success. Moonlight was the same, as he was famous for having unwavering loyalty and did not take bribes.
Once upon a time, Moonlight and one of his friends were being pursued by a club. In the end, his friend decided to surrender to the club, suggesting him to do the same. Moonlight was greatly angered and pursued his friend for the next few months. From then on, no one dared to advise Moonlight to bow to his enemies.
Fat Monkey…Wouldn’t be a good idea. He was crazy.
Kitty Likes Meat…Her dad was also at Ruling Sword, so that was impossible.
Although Sakura Memories was also one of their competitive players, she hasn’t been playing in their matches recently. There were rumours that she was preparing for the release of level 70 so
that she would be able to power level.
There was a possible player – Mu Qiu. Lu Li hadn’t given him Ruling Sword’s shares, and the contract that he signed was also one that didn’t have much value. Even at the current time, they still hadn’t re-signed a new contract.

He is a driven and irritable young man, consumed by a desire to ensure his own future and free himself of the influence of his family, whom he resents for favoring his brothers over him. Consequently, he has no time for pointless distractions or paying attention to other people's problems. As it happens, time is something he is about to get plenty of.

Zeroth Knight
Isekai, fantasy, with the core themes of Identity and Fate. Story contains a, mostly, lesbian cast. Just when she was about to confess to the man of her dreams, Eve is taken by a light to another world. Swallowing her up, against her will, eroding her, it demands a life so contrary to her previous one. In a new world with the title of “Zeroth” forced upon her, she must rely on her newfound “friends” to stay sane and navigate her responsibilities. But bit by bit, the world loses sight of the girl inside; seeing only “Zero,” the person she did not desire to be, but the hero that the world needed. Will Eve let the title she bears consume her, or will she become the hero in both body and mind? This is the tale of her struggles, and a star-crossed love destined by Fate to never converge. This is the tale of Zero. This story is a slow-burn, meant to be a few hundred pages or more in length, so the plot isn't the fastest to move. It also has lesbian-themed relationships for the majority of its cast. This story partially falls under, "harem" with the main character being female and gaining the affection of other females, against (at first) the main character's (Eve) will. This first arc will be more focused on the mentality and emotions of the cast with battles spaced intermittently. The second arc will involve a lot more fighting. Arc two will be out in a reasonable timeframe. I have another story up, a short story drama with light yuri and supernatural themes: https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/27010/escape-the-knight I am will continue updating older chapters to make them flow better, and to just be more structurally sound. Follow me at: https://twitter.com/ozefen0 Share the story if you think it's good. And please rate some stars and leave reviews guys. It will help encourage other people to take a chance with the story and get to know this wonderful journey with us. Also, a friend has made a Discord for the "Zeroth Universe" if anyone wants to join and hang out to talk about the stories, theories, or just general fun chats with us! https://discord.gg/f3Bc4TR
