《Mite》4.25 - The Second Day Of The Tournament
Advertisement
4.25
It was the next day of the tournament and Hunter was still feeling nervous. Opponents were going to be tougher, and he still hadn’t gotten over losing his first fight.
“We ready for another day?” Stick asked.
“Yeah. You gonna watch us this time?” Silas asked.
“You betcha.”
Stick and Silas prepared them all a healthy breakfast of meats and vegetables and fruit.
The five of them made their way back to the stadium within the trunk of the Elder Tree. The seats were already packed, and the announcer was already revving up the excitement.
“It’s the second day of our tournament today. Yesterday was exciting, but I get the feeling today will bring more excitement than you can shake a stick at. All the teams that made it through have proven they can fight, so its only going up from here.” The crowd cheered and whooped.
Hunter scanned the remaining twelve teams, he wasn’t surprised to see the hulking fighter, Guul, was standing among the crowd.
“Can the team leaders please come to the stage and pull out your new numbers?” Hunter approached the stage and was greeted by Guul.
“I’m surprised your team made it to the next round. You better hope you aren’t against us. I’ll wipe the floor with you.” Guul chuckled and once again, Hunter struggled to stay standing in his presence.
Hunter pulled out his number and saw that it said four. He was a little relieved they didn’t have to fight first.
The announcer called out the pairs and Hunter suddenly felt his gut try to rip itself apart.
They were going to be facing Guul’s team. They had already met Guul and Kyson. The other two members were just as intimidating to look at. A tall man with hair as long as his knees stood behind the rest of the team and the fourth member was covered head to toe in a cloak. The hood was pulled over their head, keeping their appearance hidden.

“Well, well. Looky here gang. Our opponents are the puny team of teens we saw yesterday. They barely won, and two of them only did because their opponents burned out. You won’t be winning with those tactics against us.”
“I thought I recognised you. Why don’t you save it for the ring, Guul?” Stick had joined the teens and shot a glare at Guul.
“Ah, Jadell, these your kids, are they?”
“Yeah, they are. So you better show them a little more respect. Or do I have to whip you really good again?”
“You’ll be lucky if you can scrape them off the slate when I’m done with them.” Guul chuckled and Kyson, the kid, joined in. The teams made their way to the mezzanine, keen to watch the fights below.
“You know that guy?” Hunter asked.
“Sure. He’s competed in this tournament every year. Absolute brute of a man. I’ve fought against him three times. He’s still pissed because I won two out of three of our matches.”
“Any inside tips then on how we can fight him?” Freja asked.
“He’s dangerous. He seems like a shallow hothead, but he’s not. He comes to life in the ring and burns with intense focus. He lives to fight. He travels the world to fight in every tournament he can find.” Stick’s tone was that of cold seriousness.
“But what of his powers?” Jimena asked.
“He’s only got one power. The rest is raw strength.”
“Which is?” Silas asked.
“His dominating willpower. That force you feel crushing you when you’re around him, that’s him. It gets stronger when you are in the ring with him.”
“So how did you beat him?” asked Hunter.
“With speed and not letting him grab me. If he gets in close to you, you’ll probably lose.”

“So then I probably shouldn’t fight him,” said Silas. “My whole power works by getting in close and ramming into someone. The three of you are able to fight at a distance. Keep him away.”
“We’ll decide on that when we come to it. Can you tell us anything else about him?” Hunter asked.
“He comes from an island in the middle of the ocean. He comes from a species of giants. They’ve been used and abused and manipulated by different powers for wars and bodyguards. Most of them are dead now, I think there might be four or five left. He’s the shortest of them, but he’s the strongest.”
“He’s the shortest?” said Silas.
“He fights to keep his strength about him. He fights to show the honour of the giants, so they aren’t forgotten by the people of the world. He’s a proud warrior and he does it for a reason.”
Tatsuta from Loose Change approached Hunter with a smile on his face.
“Congratulations on making it to the next round. I wanted to wish your team luck for the day, and we’ll be watching you.”
“Thanks,” replied Hunter. He looked over the elderly man’s shoulder and saw the rest of the team. Lena awkwardly waved, the robot stared at them, and Tobias shot a quick glance before looking away again.
“You’re a good fighter, but you struggle too much internally. That’s your main downfall. If you can calm the storm within, you’ll become a raging storm on the battlefield.”
“Thanks.” Tatsuta bowed and walked back to his team.
“You’re always eating Guul. You’re gonna make yourself too sick before the fight.” Kyson was trying to pull Guul’s arms away from his face. Large quantities of food in each hand.
“No I won’t. And have you seen who we’re up against today? They’re a joke.” Guul shot a look at Justice Punch and locked eyes with Hunter. “You’re my opponent today. Don’t think you can back out of it.”
“I won’t.” Hunter’s voice surged with a confidence he didn’t realise he had.
“Can the first two fighters of the teams please step forward. We are about to begin the next round of the tournament.”
Hunter joined his team and looked down at the slate below. The two fighters readied themselves.
“Ready? Go!” the crowd cheered and the fight began.

Iferes: Slaves Of The Gods
Iferes are creatures that roam the world. They are everywhere, and anywhere. From the deepest seas, to the highest mountains. From the heart of volcanos, to the never melting glaciers. Some are weak, some are strong. Some are calm, some are bloodthirsty. What they all have in common, is that they fight for survival. For hundreds of thousands of eras, humans and Iferes lived in a world of war and blood. Ifere against Ifere, Ifere against humans, and humans against humans. But one day, in a very distant past, the twelve Mystic Iferes, and the twelve greatest kings of humanity, joined hands to end that cruel era. Together, they created a contract. A contract that, once made, would bound the two parties, and could only be broken in death. Millions of years went by, and that period of war faded in legends. And a child was born, a child that would change everything. For bad or worse, only time would say. ----------------------------- Hello, everyone! Just a few warnings before you read the novel, so you won't be disappointed. First of all, as you can probably tell, I took more than a few ideas from pokemon and the like. It's almost impossible to write a novel where creatures (Iferes) have a major part in, and not relate it to pokemon. However, as you will see as the novel goes on, I tried (and I think I succeeded) in making a universe of my own. I am sure you will like it. Secondly, compared to pokemon, my novel is a lot darker, as you probably noticed by the synopsis. I also try to give a wild west vibe to it, if you know what I mean. Thirdly, you should check out my fanfic Broke: A Clone Wars Tale. Biased as I am towards it, I think it's a great story, and so do many of my readers. It will also give you a glance at what writing style to expect. Fourth and last, I feel like it's only fair that I tell you I am a student. As much as I love writing, my main priority will always be my studies. After all, writing is just a hobby for me, at least for now (fingers crossed). As such, there probably will be interruptions in the release schedule here and there, but, if you followed me on my other novel, you will know I rarely missed an upload, and, when I did, I always made up for it. So, with all that said, I hope you can give the novel a try, and leave a review. If you are a new reader, I hope we can have a lot of fun along the way. If you read Broke, then we already made a journey together, and I hope you will follow me on a new one. Also, you should check out my patreon, there you can get chapters in advance (although they will all be published normally after a while), and a few other benefits. I appreciate every bit of support you can give me! patreon.com/reis123 PS: there will be romance, but no harem or reincarnation. The MC is just someone who was born and raised on this world.

Superhuman Magus
A story about an anti-hero guy among righteous people fighting against villains disturbing peace of his land. That's how the story unfolds. Interesting, right? Higher Races rules over lower human/sub-human races! The protoganist believes Higher Race took away his family. But he is powerless. So, he gave up so that he could live a harmless life. But fate didn't allow him to do so as it gave him a Supernatural power called 'Avasci'. But that wasn't the end as he found something else within him, something that allows him to defy his human limits. But nothing good comes without a price, balance is an universal law. Will Eason defy his limits while pursuing after his parents? Or will he lose the motivation to do so and selfishly pursue after power? >>NOTE: This is my first novel, so go easy on me with the typos and grammar mistakes.Release Time : Minimum=>1 chapter(good plot)/weekI will release more if I get enough time >>Title Name: The first title name was called Limits Defying Human which is basically the theme of the story. Superhuman Magus is a title that is based on a concept. Can't say more as it's a spoiler. I prefer the first title but it's just that the current title might attract more people. First title didn't make the novel seem like it's fantasy based. >>Motivation to create Novel: I created this novel to implement the vast imaginations I had while I was not creating a novel. So, there will be a lot of extreme imaginations. Most of these imaginations can only be implemented afterwards as it's a story. So it will take a while.

Teo’s only chance at awakening as a [Player] went to ruin when he was selected for the most dangerous tutorial dungeon to ever exist, Lyria’s Cemetery.
