Doing a lot of edits
First, I am confirming all of my grammatical errors in the story and found plenty.
My playful spacing defies physics.
In short, its ****.
I will be trying to adapt different kinds of writing style starting this chapter and post a poll on w/c was more acceptable.
Btw, I thank you all for the comments, please continue the reviews to help me grow.
Chapter updates now will vary, as I find it difficult to solidify action scenes.
On this chapter I decided to adapt dividing lines.
................Dividing line from author's corner to the story(adapted from rpgworld)...................................
"Announcement Participants!!
All must gather inside the grand arena as the rules for the first round will be given!!"
(Loudfully announced by a butler looking man at least 6ft with white hair,brown eyes with monocle holding a piece of paper)(((a/n he looks a lot like escanole ((tf seven deadly sins)))
"Now then, you have your own numbers right? Then you just need another three for your qualification!!
Listen!! In short matter is, you need to defeat/swindle/snatch or whatever it is to get extra 3 numbers rather than your own and head to the second round. "
(((huntxhunt adapted)))
"now then LETS BEGIN""
The crowd erupted in cheers and the participants began to move.
..
Apparently, you can still beat someone even if you complete the numbers.
The time limit was two hours.
The tricky thing was not only getting the numbers but also surviving the next two hours with your number.
Having more than the assigned numbers was quite beneficial.
You can just give it to someone that you think who can beat you after your worn out state w/c they will somehow accept to avoid fatigue.
But regardless of what you give, you must keep your own number.
The first round was quite chaotic, as expected to a royal rumble.

----------1st dividing line---------
----
--_-------
Three big looking man with the same bald hair are ganging up with individuals with numbers.
A certain chinese looking man was fighting with a one handed sword against an average looking adventurer that wields a short sword and a buckler.
Before the buckler man (((bucklerman lol)))can react. The chinese looking man barraged him with countless needle like piercing attacks.
He blocks with his buckler but he cannot attack due to the rapid successions.
When the chinese man suddenly stopped his attack the buckler man gained confidence and was about to attack when his buckler shattered.
When he looked at the buckler a swift kick came to him.
On the other side was a giant man wielding a club blowing up people with strength.
The heroes were still unmoving after 30 minutes have passed.
"now we've seen enough" sven said as he head on a punk looking man that used a single bladed axe.
"me too" as irina also rushed on a separate opponent wielding daggers.
Tessie just stayed where she is, unmoving, but had her eyes looking dangerous.
..
..
Another 30 minutes passed when the heroes began to move.
..
..
"Guess Ill start huh" clenching his fist. Mars was about to take a step when three bald people went up to him.
"looks easy"(mars)
Sven was fighting one on one with a blond girl wielding a staff when.
"""sfx""BOOM!!""
They both stopped fighting when they saw the people with their head stuck in the wall outside the arena.
Looking opposite the direction of the corpses--i mean fallen body(they're alive tho).
"Its him!!!" sven widened his eyes at the man blowing the smoke on his fist like a recently fired gun on a certain movie.
"*I somehow feel like that I'm that caped bald man here."mars inwardly thought on his self.

Wanting to test out the man and have some chat with him, a wooden stick coming straight on the side of his eyes.
He dodged the blow performing a backflip series that he learned from brock.
"I am your opponent."(??) The unknown individual rained down strikes on him.
Sven unsheated a normal looking sword leaving unused.
Their fight lasted for some minutes their fight was at stalemate when Sven noticed some people fell down as if it was like they fell asleep.
His opponent also noticed this.
"Lets fight later, looks like nobody will pick up their numbers anyway so I want to abstain from exhaustion."(???)
Taking in the suggestion, Sven nodded and started picking up the numbers.
..
----++++-------dividing line considering that the arena was wide so it was for the other side pov to shown---------------
A rouge like man was battling with a man with a full body black attire with a cape.
The caped man just kept dodging for almost an hour until he decided to kick the rouge man.
"you're exhausted, My win."(black caped man)
The rouge can only reply with a pained voice from being kicked in the stomach.
..
A man wielding a hammer felt dizzy while battling a shadow like fellow who always disappears whenever he attack.
"damn,where are you? Stop hidi-- uggh" the hammer wielding man was elbowed in the face and fainted on the spot.
"Somebody was using sleep huh. It looks like I'm the only assassin here so It may be a magician, but where?"(shadow like being self proclaimed assassin)
..
Meanwhile.
"hoo* I came here for some extra pocket money since its not bad having too much but I can see something "Interesting". (mars)
*the round ended.
"NOW THAT EVERYBODY HAD COLLECTED ALL THEIR NUMBERS LETS NOW MOVE ON TO THE NEXT PHASE!!!
BUT BEFORE THAT! THE NUMBER OF CONTESTANTS EXCEED BY ONE SO WE WILL HAVE A SPECIAL AWARD TO THE ONE WHO DEFEATED THE MOST PEOPLE!"(Announcer)
The participants drew their attention towards the announcer while holding a card that seems to have the battle results.
"NUMBER 3, YOU WILL NOW MOVE ON THE FINALS SINCE YOU HAVE DEFEATED 63 PEOPLE!!! YOU Will be awarded FOR THE NEW RECORD!!"(announcer)
When the three heroes met up
They remembered that their numbers were respectively 1,2 and three.
"aa-ano, looks like Ill move on first so, a-Ill excuse myself" the girl bowed to her companions before leaving.
"I didn't even see her fight, just how strong was she?"(Irina)
"me neither*"(thinking to himself)
"was it she the one who did that?. Well that's highly likely but how come I didn't notice her, was I too absorbed in the fight?"(Sven)
While the two were busy finding out their companions strength the announcer did not let them continue further.
"NOW THEN ITS A DUO COMPETITION! ""
THE RULES WERE THE SAME AND BUT THIS TIME YOU PICK A PARTNER AND TRY TO KNOCK THE OPPONENTS OUT THE ARENA!"(ANNOUNCER)
..
The arena grounds shrinked to a size that was not to big nor too small for 4 people.

Courier
Zoe Blanco moved to New York after fleeing the small town she grew up in and the Purity Church that controls it. The Church believes in keeping humanity pure. This means none of the NanoPCs known as Frames or any other cybernetics that most of the rest of the world uses and enjoys everyday. Upon arriving in the Big Apple, Zoe is picked up by her cousin and witnesses a courier weaving their motorcycle through traffic. Zoe envies the courier's freedom. Couriers transport data and on occasion small objects for anyone willing to pay the price. Secured delivery is guaranteed and no questions are asked. Like having a human servant in this corporate owned world, using couriers is seen as a status symbol for the wealthy and corporate elite. New York's criminal underground uses couriers for similar reasons. This gives the hundreds of couriers in NYC steady work. After weeks of not finding a job while living with her aunt and cousin, Zoe turns to her slicing skills to steal credits from the Purity Church and turns to the mob so she can get a loan to pay for the internal secure storage space a courier needs and a frame for herself. After making an unlicensed run or two, Zoe finds employment with a transport company and truly starts her life as a courier. This story is a mix of light scifi, cyberpunk, slice of life, a dash of action, and a smidge of fantasy. Slicing is what hacking is called in this story. Credits are currency in this story.
