The Return of the God Level Assassin

LUO YAN was standing on a circular stage inside a stadium. The stage had a wide diameter and was surrounded by a large audience area. This was the PvP Arena in Olkdale Town. It was dome like in shape with lights mostly centered on the stage. There was a big screen at the top. Probably to broadcast the fight between the players so the audience could clearly see everything that’s happening.

He actually didn’t expect that other players would be allowed to watch the PvP fight of others. In the PC version, there was an ’Arena Battle’ option where players could simply click it and challenge other players to go up the PvP leaderboard. There were no audience to watch those PvP battles. Although players who worked as game anchors did broadcast their fights. But that was totally different from this.

This almost felt like he was in some kind of martial arts tournament or something. Although the audience area was not filled with players, there were still a good amount sitting there and waiting for the fight to start. Good thing he wasn’t shy or his performance would definitely be affected.

Luo Yan glanced back at his brother who was sitting at the nearest sit behind him. Luo Jin’s face was all crumpled up, showing just how displeased he was. Luo Yan smiled at him and waved. His brother’s face crumpled even more and then ignored him. Luo Yan only laughed.

So, how exactly did he end up in this situation? Let’s back track a bit in time.

=====

The two brothers were walking back to the town when they sensed something big moving towards them at a very fast speed. On impulse, Luo Yan’s body move, taking his daggers out and cutting whatever it was that was about to crash on them. It was only then that he found that this thing was actually a huge monster. Before he knew it, he had already hacked the monster into two.

Luo Yan tilted his head to the side, wondering why such a big monster died so easily. There was certainly no way a monster that size from a one-hit kill from a level 15 player. Luo Jin was also wondering the same thing. But before they could think of an answer, shouts came in front. They saw three players rushing towards them.

"What did you do?" a human male swordsman shouted as if Luo Yan just killed someone in his family or something. Behind him was a female elf holding a staff, she was probably a Mage.

At once, Luo Yan immediately understood that the monster earlier was probably something that these two were trying to kill. It probably already sustained a lot of damage from these two that’s why he managed to kill it with just one hit. In these two players’ mind, he just stole their kill. Should he apologized?

He wasn’t really in the mood to argue. He wanted to just log out and have dinner already. So he gave a sweet smile to the three. "I’m sorry, the monster was about to crash on us so I killed it without thinking. I could give compensation if you want."

The female elf looked at this white haired elf in amazement. She had never seen such a pretty person before. She didn’t think too much and just answered. "It’s okay. We can just kill it again when it respawned."

Luo Yan looked at the female elf, blinking his big blue eyes at her. "Really?"

The female elf suddenly blushed. It’s like her heart had been pierced by an arrow. "Y-yes."

Luo Yan smiled brightly at her. "Thank you so much!"

"I-it’s no problem," she said shyly.

Luo Jin stared at this and was really quite amazed by his second brother’s interpersonal skill. No one would think that he was in a coma for seven years.

The human swordsman was not feeling amazed like Luo Jin. In fact, he was feeling quite the opposite. He glared at Luo Yan, the desire to rip him into pieces was clear in his eyes. If Luo Yan was paying attention to his surroundings when he first arrives at Olkdale Town, then he would be able to recognize this person as that guy who accused him of beautifying himself to the max.

The swordsman stared daggers at the white haired elf. Seeing that perfect appearance was enough to annoy him to no end. But now, he was even flirting with the girl he tried so hard to invite to team up. He wanted to impress her with his gaming skills. But his thunder was easily stolen by this sissy looking guy.

Looking at the white haired elf’s costume, it definitely costed a lot of crystal coins. He sneered. This guy was obviously some rich second generation who probably didn’t have any skills at all whatsoever. He’s probably just here to flaunt his money. The swordsman hated that type the most.

He was just an ordinary college student. It took a while for him to earn enough money from his part time job just to buy a VR helmet. When he picked the random selection, hoping that he would get an amazing race, but he still ended up being a human. He’d been playing for two weeks now but he hardly had any crystal coins in his account.

And yet this guy here had some kind of special race that was probably different from a normal elf. He probably even had tons of crystal coins in him. That was just so unfair!

He looked at the girl who was still blushing intensely and he couldn’t help but grit his teeth in anger. "How could you say that we should let it go? You know how much effort it took for us to weaken that monster, only for this bastard to give a killing blow. You shouldn’t be so soft-hearted just because he’s nice to look at!"

The girl blushed even more. But this time, it was more because of embarrassment. "W-what are you saying..."

Both brothers frowned, but for different reasons. Luo Jin was because he didn’t like that this guy had the audacity to call his second brother ’bastard’. While Luo Yan, on the other hand, was because of the way the guy was purposely embarrassing the girl.

"It’s not our fault that monster came running our way. Do you expect that we should just let it trample us? Surely, you’re not that lacking in the brain department," Luo Jin said, his milky voice full of mockery.

The swordsman clenched his fists and glared at Luo Jin. "Shut up, squirt!"

Luo Jin felt like a vein on his forehead popped when he heard the term the bastard called him. "You’re the squirt! Your whole family are squirts!"

[Aw... Ah Jin still looked cute even when angry.] - That was what’s on Luo Yan’s mind while watching on the side.

The swordsman ignored Luo Jin and turned sharply towards Luo Yan. "I challenge you to a PvP battle!"

"Ha? Why would he agree to that ridiculous proposition?" said Luo Jin.

"Stop, there’s no need to fight."

The swordsman smirked at Luo Yan. "What? Are you too scared or you just don’t have the balls to agree? Well, you look like a ladyboy so you probably don’t have one."

"You--"

Luo Yan stopped Luo Jin from attacking the other player. Did this guy think he had a good temper just because he’s this beautiful? "You’re right, I don’t have one. In fact, I have two. Don’t tell me, you only have one ball down there? If so, then I could only pity you."

Luo Jin laughed loudly, not even caring where his second brother learned to talk like that. Even the girl giggled a little.

The swordsman’s face flushed. He swore he’s going to make this sissy pay. "Are you going to accept my challenge or not?!"

Luo Yan smiled at the guy. "Sure. Let’s fight."

=====

And that was how Luo Yan ended up in this Arena. He looked at his opponent. He probably should finish this as soon as possible. Dinner was coming soon after all.

Shen Ji Yun was just entered the Arena when he received a message from Bai Ze. He opened it.

WhiteMarsh: [Where are you?]

SHEN: [At Olkdale Town.]

WhiteMarsh: [I thought my vision had gone wrong, but you’re really using your alternate account. What are you doing at the Beginner’s Town anyway? And with your alt account to boot.]

SHEN: [Just something.]

He finally entered the audience area. He looked at the stage and no longer bothered looking at Bai Ze’s reply. Because his gaze was completely transfixed at the white haired elf standing confidently on the stage.
