40 New Mission

When the audience saw that only Arthur was standing on the stage, shock and disbelief was plastered on everyone's face. It was a few seconds before everyone started screaming in shock.

"Lucky bastard! How did he manage to do that, since he is already so badly hurt?"

"Miserable !! I'm glad I bet little on this fight, otherwise the loss would have been great!" Relief was in the hearts of some men.

"Lucky for you! Even if I only won 30% more, I still bet a lot. It was supposed to be a big deal this time, but I ended up losing even more."

"As for me, my buddy, it is very lucky !! Even if by a slight chance, I still bet on this newbie, and I really do not regret it! My only regret was not having bet more." Happiness overflowed in every word of the man.

Such comments spread throughout the audience. Most were hating Arthur for making them lose money, while those few who believed in the miracle were smiling from ear to ear.

The object of so much hatred and joy was on the stage, taking advantage of the last moments of the 'Frenzy' skill to understand and absorb everything that happened in the fight.

Arthur's brain calmly started to slow down, until it returned to normal, but a little faster than before. It was also hot and gave Arthur constant throbbing pains, but they were still manageable.

After waiting for a moment, so that the aftereffect of the ability could alleviate a little, Arthur raised his head to face the audience, but announcements of the system suddenly started ringing in his head.

'It finally appeared as a skill. So does that mean that all the power I have or gain is turned into skill? And if there is no way to use it, it is not even classified? Interesting!' Arthur's mind had become more active with all that, so doubts that didn't need answers came up all the time. 'I'm going to check the statistics panel to summarize everything!'

Thus, the panel soon opened in front of him.

'A new skill and another point of intelligence, right? I think my growth today is different. ' Arthur thought, as he clenched his fist and made the Force circulate through his body.

After looking at the Panel again, Arthur noticed that his Good Karma had gone up a lot 'How many bad things did this guy have to do to get such a big score ?? I would ask for mercy for your soul, but I am not that kind. '

As soon as he saw his panel, Arthur also requested to see the introduction of the 'Force' ability.

Force

[Effects]

In addition to better body control, the Force also increases your Strength and Agility by 50% while in use.

'It really is a great skill. In addition to the fact that its capacity has already been tested, then it is very reliable. ' Carefree that he had just killed a man with this skill, Arthur looked at his worn out clothes, snorted and walked towards the small stairway that led to the floor.

Just as he was going to walk towards the stairs, he soon saw a thin man, in dark green clothes, with a hooded face, climbing the stairs while pointing a knife at him.

In a cold, hoarse voice, the man spoke calmly, but hatred and intent to kill exuded from his voice: "Where do you think you're going, good young man? Are you going to say you're already tired?" The man then raised his hood and revealed, "Are you not in the mood for another fight?" Snake's cold, bloody eyes were steady and focused on Arthur's green eyes.

"I'm sorry, but it's over—" Before Arthur could finish, a few more system announcements rang in his mind, but with a proposal as sweet as honey.

"You know what? Okay. Let's get this fight over with." With an exuberant smile, Arthur was really happy to have received such a mission. But the moment the smile appeared on his face, Arthur remembered everything that happened and caution started to appear in his heart and mind. He had promised never to underestimate anyone, especially in a place that fights to the death are so welcome by the public.

"Great, rookie !! You are a man of courage. Today there will be another battle to the death !!!!" Snake was overjoyed that Arthur had accepted and then walked over to the attendant who was next to the stage. She was there in case anyone wanted to bet again, but had a fight ready to start.

Snake handed over his Mercenary Card and said: "Put everything there as a bet! Today I will avenge my brother's death and give him a dignified farewell party !!"

"Allright Sir." The girl spoke with a polite tone, despite all the pressure that Snake was releasing unconsciously. She then addressed Arthur and asked, "Are you going to want to bet too?"

Seeing that it was going to be another Life or Death fight, Arthur soon became more cautious. After a while of thinking, he finally had a resolute mind and also bet everything he had won with the previous fight.

'A flower that grows in a greenhouse is infinitely more fragile than one that grows in concrete!'
