Arya - Summerlight

Capital City of Summerlight, Hotland.

Hotland was quite the opposite with Coldland. It was filled with people wearing revealing clothes and wearing less clothing as possible, which usually consisted of a small t-shirt and shorts. Since this place is very hot for the entire year, a netizen has more tanned skin, making their looks very exotic.

Hotland is also a very popular City for vacations and tourism.

The city itself was quite ordinary, skyscrapers and ordinary buildings filling the city, but there are also a lot of beaches and parks.

In the middle of the City, a massive skyscraper was seen.

It was around a 100-floor tall building with a big N logo on top of the skyscraper, instantly telling everyone which company owns this building.

It is the Headquarters of Night Company.

Or more precisely, Headquarters of people who made the game Night's End!

It is one of the most popular buildings in the entire Summerlight because over half of the netizens in Hotland are playing Night's End, and the amount is only growing.

On the top floor of the building.

There was a room filled with thousands of screens, showing everything happening ingame.

Hundreds of workers were using their computers, keeping their eyes open if any bugs or cheaters appeared.

This month is very special, and failure isn't an option.

This month will be the Night Tournament and the biggest event in Night's End history.

If this is a success... The game's popularity might skyrocket.

In the middle of the room, a middle-aged man was standing.

He had slick blond hair with sharp eyebrows, cheekbones, and jawline. He was wearing an ordinary blue t-shirt, with white shorts. The room wasn't as hot as you would imagine— there are dozens of different cooling systems in the room— without those, the computers would overheat because of the heat.

This middle-aged man is Night's End's Main Creator and the Chairman of Night Company, Lux Rosenword!

The room was quiet, and only the sound of typing on the keyboard was heard.

Lux was looking at the screens in front of him.

But then... The tranquility of the room was broken.

''OH MY GOD!'' An excited and shocked voice came.

Lux and everyone else turned their heads towards the young woman who screamed.

''Dana, what is it?'' Lux asked with a frown.

Dana had short blond hair with quite attractive face, and a cute pointy nose. She was wearing very revealing clothes as well, with a white t-shirt and tight shorts.

Dana gulped and said with excitement, ''KingOfGames replied!''

Everyone in the room turned silent, and their heartbeats started increasing.

That name alone made them stay quiet out of respect.

Not many know the things KingOfGames had done in the game, but they do.

Calling him superhuman wasn't exaggerated.

Lux took a deep breath to calm his rapid heartbeat.

''What was his answer?''

Dana quickly checked and almost fainted in happiness.

''H-H-He accepted!'' Her voice echoed in the room.

Everyone in the room gasped, and soon they started cheering loudly.

Lux took a deep breath and grabbed his shaky hand.

''Great...'' He almost wanted to cheer loudly, but he had his face to maintain.

''I will go meet him,'' Lux said and left the room.

He went to his office.

His office had one simple desk with large glass windows, two chairs, a TV stuck in the wall, and a small console in front of it.

He sat down in front of the TV and booted up the console.

...

Ichiro's avatar appeared in the middle of the forest, which must be the Monster Forest, near Lessencave.

In real life.

The door to his room was opened, and Azura came with slightly blushing cheeks.

She had to go and calm herself down.

She saw Ichiro playing Night's End.

With a smile, she sat next to Ichiro.

''Are there headphones?'' Ichiro asked— he was trying to look for them but didn't find any.

''Oh, wait a second!'' Azura left the room and went to get pair of headphones from her room.

Ichiro waited, and soon Azura came and gave blue headphones.

''Thanks,'' Ichiro said and kissed her cheek.

Azura turned her head away, but she had a massive smile and giant blush on her cute cheeks.

Ichiro put the headphones on his head and concentrated on the game.

In the game.

The forest was calm.

A quiet sound of birds chirping was heard, and the leaves flew alongside the wind.

Ichiro narrowed his eyes, but then a flash of lightning appeared, and a figure appeared some distance away from him.

The figure had long brown robes with long black hair and a majestic-looking beard— He was holding a wooden cane while lightning flickered around it.

A words was seen above the robed man [Rosenword - Level 999]1

In real life.

Azura gasped, ''He is Creator of Night's End.''

''Oh.'' Ichiro was curious why the Creator appeared here.

Back in the game.

Rosenword did bowing motion and said, ''King, this is an honor.''

Ichiro nodded, ''Why have you come here?''

Rosenword touched his long beard and said, ''I am here to talk about the event.''

Ichiro nodded.

Rosenword waved his hand, and pair of chairs appeared out of nowhere.

He motioned Ichiro to sit down.

Ichiro sat in the chair nearby him, while Rosenword sat in front of him in another chair.

''The event will be after the Champion of Night Tournament is crowned. All the rivalries and disputes will end for one goal. To defeat the final boss, which in this case... Is you.''

Ichiro nodded.

''There are no individual prizes for the event. If they manage to kill you, they will receive EXP boost of 1000%, and whole new Continent to be explored, and much more.'' Rosenword said quite proudly.

Night's End only has 2 Continents, and every place has been almost explored.

New Continent would bring a lot of new content.

''What if they lose?'' Ichiro asked curiously.

Rosenword chuckled, ''That will probably happen, but there is a special reward for losing as well. If they lose, they won't get any EXP boost— instead, they will receive the 10% of the Continent.''

''10%?'' Ichiro raised an eyebrow.

Rosenword nodded, ''They will have to unlock the rest of the Continent by working together then. A lot of terrifying monsters lurk there, and they need to work together to exterminate the beasts if they want to explore the rest of the Continent.''

Ichiro nodded, ''That sounds great.''

Rosenword smiled, ''Thanks, that means a lot coming from you.''

''What is my job in the event?'' Ichiro asked.

Rosenword smiled mysteriously.
