《Unstable dungeon》Actual tournament
Advertisement
"You're not going to watch? Any of the fights? I know you can use appraisal but..."
"Im not being conceited love, I just don't care if I win or not if I can have a good fight since you already got us to the baseline, so I'm just going to sit and relax, maybe finally read about that book on advanced magic, while you have fun watching." Or so our dear main character said, so I don't need to describe every piece of fuck outside of his fights. Talking abou pieces of fuck, this one here is wearing a knee length black skirt and a white shirt. No shoes, he couldnt find any good ones and couldnt care long enough to make than.
While still plenty, it's not like there is going to be a bimbo with a whip Vs a hipersexual Trans man. Though Elsa-San is a lovely person, there's just no need to try and imitate such trope for the sake of attention.
As time passed, the other contestants started going to the arena in pairs, some came back alone and started to try and heal from their wounds, but both the aracne and mummy had to give up since they were so evenly matched that when they fought neither had anymore energy at the end, with the aracne winning, but she'd lost 3 legs and an eye, plus her broken arm and she'd have a hard time getting ready without potions, which weren't allowed.
"So you are my next opponent? A filthy vampire that does nothing but hide... " That was as much as Aki actually heard before using wind magic to block the sound from reaching his ears.
The woman who had won second place last year was greatly angered and started yelling and getting her gray skin a darker tone, which would equal getting red of anger for a human.
Aki's only reactions was to make a magical circle in front of him, and suddenly sounds of saxophone and piano were followed by his soft singing voice through the whole room:
"You could never know what's like, Your blood like winter freezes just like ice, And there's a cold loneny light that shines from you, You'll end up like the wreck you hide behind that mask you use!" He even stopped when the lirycs (I'm still standing, was it really Taron Egerton singing on the movie? Still loved the song, so who cares, I'm just the narator of a shitty novel anyway.) said so, but it was obvious no one was going to sing with him, not even his wife.
The drow was almost fumming through the ears and had her hand pressing so hard on the hilt of her saber that her hands were the color of chalk.
Someone started laughing softhly, and that made the chain of snickers grow until the guards of the room and even raised the corners of the cold attendant that came to say the next fight would begin shortly.
The woman who came to offend Aki shot him one last glare before storming out, but he calmly went to give his wife a kiss and a slap in the rear "for good luck" he loudly said while already running.
*****
Already in the arena.
"I'm going to enjoy killing you" Said the drow.
"Oh, don't think i dind't hear what you said about my wife. If someone saw her efforts to get stronger than that was me." He calmyly said while shaking his head side to side. "Humiliation won't be enough for an example, so i hope you can endure helping me develop my 'crafts'" He said much more icily and with a haevyness that made his words sound reveberated and deeper.

Nothing too much, just some infernal energy into the vocal cords. It did make all demons on the crowd sweat cold a little though.
The only consequense though, was that there were a lot of fiends giving out battle cries, and two trying to take off their pants, so the match had to begin a bit before schedule, but there was nothing besides a slightly sweaty referee to show for that.
With a bell being rang, the clash of blades folowed almost immediatly after. Strike after strike, both had the same speed, and Aki got plenty of scrapes and cuts, while his opponent didnt seem to spot any for the matter, even though she seemed to constantly get paller.
*Clunck* With one particullarly strong blow, both separated.
Smiling, Aki tore space and trew his glaive inside, grabbing a particularly big and green hammer with a hoe in one face.
"Allow me to make introductions. This beauty of 230 kg (507 lbs for the imperial weirdos) is called nothing (Fuck leomi), and it's enchantments... lets just say you're going to hate it." Said Aki before making himself heavier with magic and running to his enemy with his hammer up high like it was a scyte, before falling into the ground and appearing on the shadow of his adversary, who he cut the leg right out off while getting out of the shadow and proceded to do a 360 while in the air to hit her on the showder with the hammer part.
Her screams ecoed through the stadium. The judge was about to say that Aki won, but suddenly he shouted over him.
"Don't missunderstand everyone, she's still capable of fighting. Look closely, this masterpiece of mine that took the longest time to forge (One week), has the ability to transform any kinetic energy passing through the hammer head into healing. If my word doesnt convince you, than look at my opponent's leg!" He grandiose-ly said to the whole crowd. Whenever someone with good enough sight looked, they all couldn't help but exclain how it was growing back at a very fast speed. "Since everyone has had a good enough look, let me help her heal faster" He said before doing a home run on her head.
While the hammer head couldn't acually cause damage and the woman was constantly being stunned by Aki's spell so she wound't surrender, that doesn't mean that she isn't hurt by being shoved around or into the ground. Or by being hit by any other part of the weapon really.
After about twenty minutes of this, the fierce level 90 blade dancer finally offed her own conciusness and wouldnt wake up again for the five grace seconds she had even though Aki hit her head four times, so the referee ended the fight.
As Aki walked off and waved to the blood thristy audience, the clean up crew started what they would cutely call "The rain of arms and legs". Of course, they delt with corpses all the time, but there's just enough times you can throw the same arm away before strange thoughts appear in your head.

"Call back on the spy assigned to the countess and tell her to leave the city for the next year. An extended vacation for her own good."
"Your majesty, are..."
"Yes Yasha, I'm sure. I wanted to see what would happen if someone insulted it and i got a bloddy show. I don't want any relation to this. Be it her or the nobles, they'd be a pain to deal with. Instigating someone else to get rid of her during the tournament would be useless, and attacking its lover would be an even worse idea. Killing it right after would also be bad for moral in general. The vampire seems to want to cooperate and already made her move. I shaw make preparations to stop it if needed, but leave it be for the moment." Gravely said the drow queen.

"And with this there's a high chance my next oponent's going to give up, so i can laze around even more after the weaklings that couldn't even, aaaahhh..." Moaned the scary vampire after an ogre sized palm spanked his buttocks in a shadowy corner he was immediatly dragged to after the match was over.
"Aren't you the one who likes ass and wants to embarass your wife in public? Just enjoy the moment" Said a softly blushing woman while grabbing her... (????) with buttocks filling her hand.
"That's, *smack* oooh, not what i planned, *smack* ummmm... but i think i like it better" Said the peverted who started sucking the finger of his wife's free hand.
While everyone in good distance was listening to soft, sexy moans, the only one actually seeing it was the queen and her master spy. The former called a slave boy and the latter excused herself.
WHY AM I THE ONLY ONE THAT NEEDS TO WORK?!
*****
"Oh, you're approaching me?" Said Aki to his next opponent. He had wondered if it was some kind of plot or hidden expert, but the guy in front of him seemed normal enough on the way that he was quite showy in all the wrong way.
"I'm not affraid of some showy asshole!" He said while pointing his finger at Aki "I, Zong Li, challenge you to a martial arts duel!"
"I see, then come!" Aki said while trying to keep at the joke so he wouldnt retort at every wrong thing with this guy. Who's the showy asshole here? You're wearing a freaking Hanfu (Chinese yukata for ya weebs) with shoulder blades! That doesn't even make sense! If you don't have Main Character level of thick skin, than there's no way this is actually a ploy to distract and confuse his opponents, is there?!
As a result, that guy was beaten till his face was completely swollen, but he still stood and tried to say something very chunni.
It was at this moment that Aki looked at the man's status and frowed. He was getting skill level after skill level. Truth be told, Aki also got some from these 2 fights, but the dude got almost 20!
"It seems i have underestimated you. I shaw fight seriously now." Aki said before taking a sword out of his inventory and doing the crane pose. "This one is called 'Old friend', something that has acompanied me in many forms." He said with love in his eyes while makind his magic in the background of all the bullshit. "Prepare for one of my greatest attacks until now. DOLORE!"
As a black arc immediatly swan over the would be xianxia Mc, he was knocked out and two rays of light and void formed a barrier over his body.
Though that was useless since they errected a magical and physical shield respectvely. Neither expected that someone on this realm actually knew how to use the power of law and imbued it on something.
No idea why no one ever used the laws of despair, depression and loliness like this, but hey, fuck the people who can actually just forget their lives and not use their experiences.
Anyway, things that don't appear on the status page easily asside, durring the explossion of black and sorrow, Aki ran the fastest he could with all the buffs he could cram in his avatar and plucked away the two spirits floating around while in the middle of long and gray flashbacks. He didn't expect to also pull out a normal soul in the process, but he didn't flinch and shoved it down his gullet for latter as well before running back to where he was. Yes, the cloud of darkness was plenty long, some 10 seconds.
When the referee saw that his opponent died, he didn't care much and just announced Aki's victory. This was only just today's 4 death, if it ended like that then it'd be the first day in a long time that they'd had less than 5 in one day. Six, eight months?
Anyway, next fight.
*****
The fight was between Tsu, a two meters tall ogress, against a scrawny one and a half tall beggar.
While people who didn't have the context would think the scrawny man had little chance of winning, they'd very rapidly be informed that he had actually won against a minotaur twice his new opponent's size, even if by luck from their point of view, so the odds on the bet house were practically even at this point.
Before the match started though, the old man asked for one or two minutes for him to warm up saying that he hadn't had the chance with Aki's fight ending so suddenly, which was actually granted to him since it was reasonable enough.
'Hello young lady, can you hear me?' Said the voice of the old man inside of Tsu's head. She simply kept a stony contennance since she was ussed to Aki doing the same though.
''Loud and clear', now tell me what's your price for letting my wife win?' Answered the couple in the first part, followed by Aki asking through their mental link, which surprised the old man a lot, but he was an old and experienced business man that knew when to not ask about his costumer's affairs.
'That depends, what is it worth to the new crime lord?' He said in a calm voice.
'Enough for me to use dungeon authority to get this contract firmed. One rose coin.' Aki coldly said.
'Dungeon authority? A dungeon master if what i hear is right than. And yet you offer so little for your wife's reputation?' The old man had a tone of pity in his voice when saying the last part.
'I know your tipe after all. If I asked you now for i price you'd say ten roses and we'd end up setting it at aroung five or six.' Scoffing through the mental link, Aki kept going on with the act since those were amounts of money that he would never just throw around withouth hagling, what would his mom say if she felt she failed her child so much?! 'Two roses.'
'Three and a half' The old man rapidly said, since he felt this would be a hard client and was preparing to raise the price even more. (3,5k of gold or 7M dollars)
'CONTRAC CONFIRMED' He didn't expect that Aki was playing a similar game though. Just winning the tournament would get them twenty five rose coins (First place getting fifteen and second getting ten), don't even mention the bets on Aki's first match plus the finals, so there was no shame to spend money to make more money in such safe way.
Aki wouldn't really have minded paying ten rose coins, but he just had to try and get the man to say a lower priceso he'd be able to keep more money. Dealing with him latter wouldn't be much of a problem considering how no one bellow level 100 would be able to beat Aki fighting normally. Who said he only has law power up his sleeve?
No, this bitch here refused to get out of his hole before he had at least ten beserker skills (Those that give you a power up but cause problems later) and some levels on soul healing! Can't say what it is exactly since he won't have to use it for a while, but you all just need to know it's OP in it's own way right?

Its heart became the core of the world and its blood became the inhabitants of this world - the first gods." - 'The beginning', page 1, author unknown.
