“So, what are the terms and rules of the fight Drin?”
“Two rounds. The first is fists only. During the second round however,you can use all techniques at your disposal. Each round has something else at stake for each of us. Lay out your bets Nare.”
“My contract is my bet for round one. If you win, my contract is officially terminated with no dishonor to me. If I win, you turn yourself into the Capitol’s agents. Sound good?”

“Yeah that sounds fair. Round two will be a fight of pride. No stops allowed except for a humble submission by one party or the other.”
“Do we have any business of that sort?”
“Rich. Especially coming from the one who accused me in the first place! You know what i’m talking about.”
“Oh. That event! The stakes are self explanatory I presume?”
“Indeed they are. Let’s head to the Arena Registry and make it official. The Capitol is bound by so many rules, it is a shock that they haven’t collapsed yet.”
“Quite the shock indeed. But it is a good thing that they have to acknowledge all duels and their terms.”
“But they will come after you after both matches are over.”
“Let them! what‘s the worst they have? The DPAC? Don’t make me laugh! I could easily overpower them with only one eye and one arm!”

Apollyon's Curse
Within the pages of folklore and fantasy, tales of people who chase after the dream of eternity, of living forever, rarely find a happy ending. They are either struck by the grim truth of reality, give up, and return to mortality or face a ghastly realization of their wishes. The latter often the worse fate, as they come to realize, only far too late, that what they sacrificed was worth far more than the time they gained. Ultimately, the common thread in these stories is that “immortality is as much a curse as it is a blessing”. People either realize it early and give up or are doomed to inevitably face its consequences. In the world Enrich lives in, that saying does hold merit. Every pathway towards eternal life has shackles of its own. They bring those high above down to the ground, evening the playing field. It is thanks to these fundamental laws that ambitious mortals are able to defy the heavens and achieve immortality themselves. The variety of methods result in each of these bindings varying in intensity and degree of freedom. Enrich’s path doesn't break this trend. Though, after what he did to himself, most wouldn’t even consider him a living thing anymore. On the day of his ascension, a world’s worth of souls were melted and recast. On that day, the human’s path had reached its conclusion, recast into Apollyon. An artifact, a weapon, is eternal, after all. As for the curse? The payment will be made, as it must. So why not offload the curse to someone else? Mortals throw their lives away for all manner of petty reasons, noble or otherwise, especially in desperation. Eventually, someone will be willing to foot the bill. Most will if given the chance. The bait is far too tempting, after all. Power, status, knowledge. All at their fingertips. If only they say “yes”. And Apollyon is very willing to help any lost souls. If they give up everything in return, of course.
