《Bastion Of Heroes》Chapter 9

“Tonight's event will be knockout style! The names have already been submitted, so we’ll be calling them out now. If you still wish to place your bet, you can still do so now at www.*********. All bets are closed when the match starts. Will the combatants step forward please for the first match of the night?”
“A fighter that known for his size, we have GIGANTIC! He’s been with us for a long time, but he had never been crowned champion. Will tonight be the night? Will he walked away with the crown tonight as a winner? AAANNNNDDDD his opponent for tonight, a long time fighter and last year’s champion, KING KONG!”
Two people step forward and jumped down onto the roof below Seth's current standing viewpoint. They walked to the middle where the drones were. One was wearing simple cloth such as tank top and shorts while covering his face with a gorilla mask. His was toned and muscular.
His opponent looked normal at first. However after each step, their body seem to grow in size. When the person had reached the ring, they were a massive figure, being at least double the height of the gorilla mask figure. His face was wrapped in bandages, leaving space for the eyes and mouth. He was wearing a simple white shirt and shorts that looked simply too small on his massive build. Both people stopped at a marked circle and faced each other.
“Are the two fighters ready?” Both fighters nodded an affirmation at the question and got into their stances. King Kong had both fist up in a boxer’s stance while Gigantic had both arms spread out wide open.
“Then let tonight’s rooftop’s challenge BEGAN!!” Cheers could be heard from the gathered audience as they view the spectacle below. The drones carrying the lights and speakers began to ascend to higher heights to avoid any blows from the fight.

“Both charge straight in!! Gigantic 's big, but he’s fast! He’s going for a grab, and King Kong swerves just in time! Gigantic tries to pin King Kong down, but no luck!. Each swing of his arms seems to just miss their mark! King Kong is dodging each blow by just the skin of his teeth! ”
Seth observed the fight along with the audience with bated breath. The announcer wasn’t wrong with their commentary, but the fight was not was close enough as the announcer had put it. The gorilla mask may have hid King Kong’s face, but Seth could sense a confidence coming out from the smaller fighter.
Gigantic’s blow could easily shatter bones, but that was only if they hit. His overwhelming size actually worked against himself in this fight. The huge blows were clumsy and messy. Most likely it was anger messing up Gigantic judgement after each missed blow.
King Kong on the other hand seem to be taking it easy and just putting on a show. Perhaps it was because they had faced each other in a fight before, King Kong knew how to handle his opponent. Almost any second now, King Kong should be wrapping up the fight soon.
“-into a corner! King Kong ducks, swerves and weaves through each blow! Gigantic charges in like a bull and King Kong uppercuts HIM! Is this the final blow?”
Seth watched the huge figure stagger back and forth, dizzy from the punch. He collapses a moment later with a large thud. The announcer began the countdown.
“-5...4...3...2... and 1! AND THE WINNER IS KING KONG FOLKS!”
Seth watched King Kong kick Gigantic’s body and the vanquished opponent slid to the edge of the roof. He drummed on his chest with both hands and raised one fist, driving the crowd into a excited frenzy.

“KING KONG! KING KONG! KING KONG!”
The announcer’s voice boomed over the crowed, slowly stopping the chanting.
“Alright folks that was the championship fight! But we’re not done for the night! As most of you know there is a quite the substantial pot for the winner. WE’RE DOING SOMETHING DIFFERENT TONIGHT! King Kong may be the winner of tonight’s fight, but if there is anyone willing to beat him in a fight, then THEY will the one walking away tonight with the money! SO ARE THERE ANY TAKERS?! ARE THERE ANY BRAVE ENOUGH TO TAKE ON THIS CHALLENAGE?”
Murmurs rippled across the crowd. This was a rare turn of events. Most nights involved different fights between different opponents and most of tonight’s audience had been expecting a longer fight. Rarely do fights continue throughout the night after a championship fight, especially not one after the other.
Seth saw the hesitation could be seen the bodies of the crowd members. No one was foolish enough to take on a fighter who had been a champion three years in a row. Amateur fighters they may be, but stupid was not one of the traits from the gathered fighters. Fighters knew how to differentiate a winning fight and a losing one.
Perhaps except for one person.
Seth took a deep breath and jumped down.

A Goblin's Blade (dropped)
He looked down the path, which was littered with many things. Things he found in abundance were such of violence, desire and gore while things he found in scarcity were such of love, friendship and glory. At the start of the path was a naive, green goblin while at the end of it... Well at the end of it stood him: the godslayer, the monster from the forest, the walking death... He had many names but none so that perfectly captured his image as well as the Mad King. Authors note: Edit: Trying to release a chapter per day, around 2-2.5k words each. An evolution story about a goblin. This is under lit-rpg but I'm focusing more on the plot/characters instead of the usual features of such stories such as the blue tables that take ages to make or the stat screens. In essence it's closer to high fantasy than lit-rpg. Much appreciated if you read the Prologue to see whether you like it or not. Cover image is "Evolution" taken from art done by WhoAmI01

THE TIME MACHINE (Completed)
The Time Machine is a science fiction novel by H. G. Wells, published in 1895 and written as a frame narrative. Wells is generally credited with the popularization of the concept of time travel by using a vehicle that allows an operator to travel purposely and selectively forwards or backward in time. The term "time machine", coined by Wells, is now almost universally used to refer to such a vehicle. The Time Machine has been adapted into three feature films of the same name, as well as two television versions, and a large number of comic book adaptations. It has also indirectly inspired many more works of fiction in many media productions.
