《An NPC Challenges the Dark Lord(LN)》Vol 1. Ch 1. Sparring
Advertisement
Endless RPG. Ranked first across all platforms as the greatest game and RPG for its vast features. An advanced combat system featuring bosses that block and dodge attacks. Players also enjoy the same feature.
Microtransactions that make players overpowered have been ruled out and replaced with the ultimate gacha AI simply known as "The System". Typical rewards are given for grind however some rewards are determined by probability to ensure fairness.
Players are granted abilities to sweep through early levels or...abilities that one may consider unnatural(for every 1,000,000th new player).
Grinding the early game has been made easy to catch up with the average level of the servers as calculated by The System however experience gain decreases greatly once above the average level in order to respect the effort achieved by the top players.
Guaranteed gear and character drops are given at 10x or 100x depending on the event with the option to choose the featured summons once. Simply, all players have the chance to get. Summon chances demand grinding especially when above the average server level...
[Yami closes the holographic page of game updates decades ago and is approached by the wolf hunter]
These game updates have made my life easier after being resurrected as an entity within this game. It may be 100 years ago but the generation of developers are still keeping this game topnotch...and forgetting to nerf me.
"My Lord, have you finished your diary? It is almost time for champion training. It is my turn today too", Rudy the hunter asked.
Amongst the 10 champions, Rudy is deemed by the weakest by everyone else. The Dark Lord Yami granted free will to his champions decades ago and collectively, they view Rudy as unworthy of being a champion.
"I do not sense any confidence within you Rudy. You will be resurrected if the Beast Queen goes too far", the chilling voice of the Dark Lord changes Rudy's tone.

"I am sure to die. They all know. Today, I shall only prove that...perhaps as a champion of the Void, I should be replaced.", Rudy bows his head and closes his eyes ready to be stripped of his duty.
"Let the match proceed", The Dark Lord leaves Yami to prepare.
Inside the Labyrinth Mansion of the Dark Lord, houses an exact replica of the Colosseum back on earth for the sole purpose of training amongst the already max level champions. The Dark Lord encourages them to acknowledge themselves as champions instead of summons or familiars as they are far stronger than most of the top 100 players.
"I have conjured an audience My Lord! Entertainment must be complete! A banquet for the victor awaits.", The Brainbuilder gleefully levitates a crowd of humans to sit in the Colosseum. These people understand they are being controlled but cannot do anything about it.
[The Brainbuilder, a grotesque creature but the entire body and 'muscles' are several brains connected together and thus its appearance resembles a large bodybuilder...some brains come from players that used to be top 100. Its head is the largest brain with sharp teeth.
Main skills=Perfect Mind Control, Switch Stats, Lightning, Berserk, Strength and Attack Buffs, Research]
"Strength lies within. I do not like how my champions look down on Rudy. You shall all witness his greatness"
"I truly apologize my Lord!! On behalf of all of us!" The Brainbuilder falls to his hands and knees and begs for forgiveness.
"It's no longer a problem after this match", The Dark Lord roars for the two gladiators to come out. The crowd erupts and cheers for both sides.
Rudy and the Beast Queen stand on opposite sides of the Colosseum awaiting the first move.
"You're going down old timer", The Beast Queen throws sand at Rudy's eyes and lands a direct punch to gut that sends Rudy flying to the wall. The crowd erupts again.

Rudy brings out his legendary tier rifle handed by the Dark Lord and deals some damage to the Beast Queen taking advantage of the range, "I got plenty of hunt left in me. I'm only 60."
"You can always hit me but you'll never beat me." Beast Queen summons one of her beasts and it's not the beast of mercy. A level 80 werewolf.
"Time to be the prey old man!", the werewolf is too quick for Rudy and he can't land a single shot. Rudy ends up bleeding from multiple flurries he cannot see to block. Rudy is on the verge of dying and throws a grenade as his final surrender to take down the wolf along with himself.
The wolf survives the blast and along with the Beast Queen, place a foot over Rudy's corpse and declares victory. As they walk away the gates remain shut.
"He's dead. Do I have to butcher him my Lord?", Beast Queen upsets the Dark Lord however he does not reply as the corpse rose bigger and taller.
Rudy's eyes turn red and fur covers his entire body. The transformed Rudy leaps onto the wolf and chops its head off with its claws.
"What the? How-", The Beast Queen struggled against the new form as Rudy raised its paws against her palm in a test of strength. She felt real pain for the first time and couldn't last much longer.
She summons a horde of werewolves but Rudy hunted them perfectly in seconds.
"Can't beat something bigger than you!", Her special skill activates. The ability to copy and summon the game's world bosses.
A large snake rises from the sand and slams the bear against the wall with its body. The red eyes almost fade but grow brighter after the hit. The bear charges and unleashes a furry of claws but cannot bring down the snake. The snake slams the bear multiple times until it stops getting up.
The crowd leaves the area out of fear of being eaten and the cheers subside. Only the seriousness of battle remains.
The Beast Queen confidently claims its over but the bear rises up and leaps high in the air and with both arms hammers the head of the snake into the sand. The bear leaps on top of the head and grabs it by the neck and rips its head off. Then it comes for the Beast Queen and strikes its fist straight into her heart.
"That's enough, change him back.", Brainbuilder obeys the Dark Lord and red eyes fade, the bear becomes smaller and Rudy falls to the sand asleep.
The Dark Lord resurrects the Beast Queen, "Even if you copy his werebear form. He would be ten times stronger by the end of the battle."
The Beast Queen now understands the strength that sleeps within Rudy. And the numerous times he comes back naked to the Kingdom of Void.
Rudy wakes up and the Beast Queen offers to shake his hand.
"Did the grenade get you? I might be old but I got some tricks to keep up. I had a paralyzing drone too", The Beast Queen smiles at the ignorance of the old timer.
"Let's get some beer, Rudy. Next sparring match, I'll get ya."
The Dark Lord stares at the two while remembering the day he took Rudy to the Void.
