《I should care because?》Tournament Part 2

Keme's POV
When we reached the other end of the portal, I immediately looked for Silence. Making sure that she wasn't teleported to a different place.
I was shocked, well shock would be exaggerating it. As thought, she did escape, wether this was good or not was up to perspective. Yet here we were, stuck in a dying world. As thought, the gods have decided that it would be better to sacrifice a world than to let her run rampant.
Though, if the rumors of her were true then wasn't it that she would destroy the world before anything else?
"Let's go look for a place to rest," I told Silence, they were in line for more than half of the day. It was now noon and it would be a good idea to have a base as well. Until they figured out where they were that is.
3rd person POV
Wherever the duo went, they brought along a tyrannical aura, which scared most of the demonic beasts, and some contestants. The contestants of course, thought that it was simply a very powerful beast as another student couldn't possibly produce an aura this frightening.
This resulted in the duo not being confronted with any beast nor contestant. Of course, Silence knew nothing of this nor did she wonder why she there wasn't any encounter with any beast. Keme however seemed to glow. Well, having to contain his aura everyday does take it's toll, ending with it becoming stronger. It was truly an endless cycle. So now that he could release it........of course, he's have to withdraw it if they were to kill anything. He wondered how Silence was able to contain her aura.
Meanwhile, in another part of the forest. A young maiden was skipping around without the care in the world. Behind her where the three boys, keeping an eye on her while scheming against a certain someone.

"Be careful," Daimon called out to Angel.
"It would be a pain in the neck if you brought us trouble," the other one with red hair said.
"I'm not that weak," Angel complained, while blushing.
"Of course-"
"Of course you aren't weak, it's that if you encounter a beast stronger than you......"
"Oh, ok then," Angel said bashfully before spotting a daisy patch and running towards it.
They then glanced at each other with a challenging look and a killers intent.
"Not until we kill him," the other one said. If it weren't for the fact that they wouldn't be able to defeat Keme by themselves, they would've already killed each other a long time ago, regardless the consequence.
"And the girl?"
"She needs to die as well."
And the root of this problem was happening was busy making a daisy chain, completely aware of the problems she would bring by doing that simple action. Her mouth curved upwards as a fragment of a spirit sliped into her host.
Heh, this world was indeed boring. The only reason she was here was because of her little sister......
Angel sighed, the world will soon dance in the palm of her hands, though there wasn't any fun in this little world. No fun at all.
She glanced at the men behind her, their eyes filled with despair as words they didn't mean came out of their mouths.
Isn't this what true despair was? To be unable to controll anything? Angel laughed, what you gave to me, I will give to everyone, only then...perhaps my heart can rest in peace.

Wildling
Blurb: Silas--a scavenger living off the ruins of humanity--has spent his entire life fighting tooth and nail to provide for himself and his crew. But when a scavenging run goes awry and he's snatched up by an android patrol, he finds himself thrown into a cage and priced to sell as a pet. And when a suitor comes calling, he fears the worst: that he'll be turned into a Domestic, a human lapdog brainwashed into total obedience. Instead, he discovers an equally disturbing truth: that the creatures who stole his world have created a videogame the likes of which Earth has never seen; a sprawling, game-like theme park where humans are the Avatars and androids are the players who control them. And to make matters worse, his android guide is as hopeless as they come, having gotten all of her previous Avatars killed in record time. So if Silas wants to regain his freedom, he'll not only have to fight his way through a world that was specifically designed to murder him in brutal fashion--he'll also have to convince his android guide that he should be the one calling the shots. FAQS: Q: Who are you, handsome stranger? A: I'm Kyle Kirrin, the author of Shadeslinger, book 1 of The Ripple System, published by Portal Books, and I write crunchy LitRPG. Q: What is Wildling? And is it complete? A: Wildling is a crunchy LitRPG mash up of Fantasy and Science Fiction. And yup, Wildling is already complete at 64 chapters, or about 120,000 thousand words. You're looking at something like a third draft here--it's fairly polished, but it hasn't been picked over by a copy editor yet nor has my developmental editor seen it. Q: Upload schedule? A: 5 initial chapters today (2/15/2021) and one chapter a day for the next month. After that I'll probably slow down to 2 or 3 chapters a week until the story is complete. Q: How crunchy is it? A: It's pretty crunchy. I'd put it on the same tier as Ascend/The Land/RSSG, but it might be a bit crunchier than those three? Q: Is this the first book in a series or a web novel or what? And what are your plans for it? A: It's currently a standalone with series potential. Full disclosure: this story may head the way of my publisher eventually, but will be available on RR for quite a while no matter what. Likely several months after it's complete with plenty of warning before/if it's taken down. Q: What kind of build does the MC create? A: Sword and board! Q: Crafting? A: Plenty! Crafting isn't as center stage as it is in The Way of the Shaman, but it's close. Q: Base building? A: Two fully separate, distinct bases, both of which play a major role in the story. Q: VRMMO? Portal? Reincarnation or what? A: This one's a bit tricky. Basically an advanced race has created a game-like world that closely resembles a theme park. Think Westworld but with copious amounts of loot. And the MC has to fight his way through that to earn his freedom. Q: Permadeath? A: Nope! The MC gets 3 lives to play through the entirety of the game world, and death is extremely punishing, but not fatal. Q: Harem? Or romance? A: No and no. Q: Cursing? Blood? A: Quite a bit of cursing, yeah. There's blood, too, but it's not a gory book by any means. Q: How can I support? A: Instead of a Patreon/donations etc, I'd ask that you consider giving my debut LitRPG Shadeslinger a chance. It's free on Kindle Unlimited and the audio is already out narrated by Travis Baldree. It's an epic fantasy VRMMO where the main character gets 3 days of exclusive access to a new game plus a snarky, talking axe to guide him through it in exchange for agreeing to become the target of a serverwide manhunt once the Head Start period ends. Q: How's it similar to Wildling? And how's it different? A. The crunch level is very similar, but Shadeslinger is a much lighter, epic fantasy take on the genre. It's also VRMMO, but without any real world components aside from the first chapter. The MC is very different--he comes off as a bit of a jerk early on and can take a bit to warm up to, especially before his backstory is revealed--but he's also got a talking axe that constantly puts him in his place. Shadeslinger's a much more humorous story in general, and it's a great deal more polished as well. Thanks for reading! I hope you enjoy Wildling!
