“You have a terrible sense of humor you vixen!!”
Han woke up tied to a bed and spread eagle. He didn’t even know how this woman brought the floating bed into the void. Did she dream it up just to humiliate him!?
“Fufufu~! You look so edible lying there naked. Should I help you rise up?”
Yes, please
“No!!! Get away from me you succubus! I need to talk to you seriously!! This is just a distraction isn’t it!?”
The vixen’s laugh echoed through the void again before Han finally found himself free of the bed. He rubbed his sore wrists and scowled at her. But she was still wearing the red gown, and when she shrugged, Han felt his eyes trail down. Dammit!
“Just answer my questions for once. Why am I still doing this? This is the third time, how many more times do I have to do this?”
She was silent for a while before she sighed and her clothes changed into the very first one Han saw her in. The jeans, top, and lab coat. Han was very disappointed
“I can’t tell you anything more than what I’m allowed to. Trust me, the less you know the better,”
Han cursed internally. So there were even bigger forces at play here? What exactly was he to them? A pawn?
“The only thing I can tell you is to keep your head low in this world. Get all the riches you want, but done dive too deep into REACH. The less they know about you the better”
Han was about to ask another question, but he immediately felt another pull in his navel and disappeared before he could say a word.
…..
Slam!!!!!
Han grunted as a fist slammed into his face and the cheer of a crowd echoed around him. He groaned and rose to his knees. Where in the hell was he? And did somebody just punch him!?
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt[The fight just got even crazier!! The contender Han Luo seems to be out of it but still in the match! What will the challenger do!?]
An announcer’s voice rang out across the field and Han stood up to his feet quickly. He was in some sort of cage made of metal bars, the room was dark and only a few fire torches lit up the arena. There was a huge crowd of people leaning on the gate and shouting in loud voices, they all looked dirty with a wild look in their eyes.
Han turned around to see the man he was fighting running towards him at full speed.
Slam!
Han quickly brought up his hand to stop the kick that was aimed at his head. He only felt a slight sting from it but that was still a surprise to him. He kicked the man back and stepped away.
What was going on here!? What did they drop him into!?
[Oooh!! Han Luo gets his first kick in! It seems he is about to go on the offensive! This is it! Will this mark the beginning of a new era!!?]
Han saw the man running towards him again without even wasting any time. He grabbed the man by the midsection and threw him to the other side of the cell. The man slammed into the cell and bounced to the ground. Han ran up to him and pummeled his face in until he was sure the man was bloodied and unconscious. Once he was done the crowd went wild.
Yeeaaarrrghhhhhhh!!!!
Han breathed deeply as someone came into the cell and checked on the man. After a while, she waved her hand to the announcer and the man shouted.
[We have a winner!!! Han Luo has knocked his way into the running for the championship!!!]
Han could only stare in disbelief at all the people shouting and cheering around him. What the hell was going on here!?
…..
In a seat overlooking the fight, a woman narrowed her eyes down at Han. She wore short shorts and a crop top that rode up her large breasts. She was resting her head on her hand and looking down with bored eyes.
“Are you interested in him? He just arrived at the underground a few days ago and he is already making waves”
The man standing behind her was fat and plump and the woman didn’t bother responding. She leaned forward and spoke into the ear of one of the two women massaging her feet.
“Tell them to send in the next challenger.”
The woman nodded and left to do as she was told.
…..
Han was already getting ready to walk out of the cage when the announcer suddenly shouted again.
[It looks like it’s about to go down!!! You savages are in for the fight of your life!! Welcome the queen of the ring!!! Arcane!!!!]
The cheering of the crowd drowned out the announcer’s voice long before he even finished the announcement and Han could only stand back and wonder who would be coming through next. He was surprised as a woman came into the ring and they shut the door behind her.
The woman looked up at Han from underneath her short bangs and Han cursed tiredly.
Rin Woo.
Rin Woo was completely shocked when she heard who it was that she would be fighting next. At first, she thought it was a joke. He has been missing for five years, there was no way he was alive. But then she saw him enter the cage and beat up the last contender for the championship and she felt an uncontrollable anger surge through her.
Who the hell did he think he was!!? He thought he could just leave them all and then come back whenever he felt like it!?
Rin Woo entered the cage intending to kill. Han looked relieved when he saw her and he wanted to say something but she didn’t give him a chance! She ran forward and gave him a double knee drop to the chest, sending him back first into the cage.
Han rolled out of the way before Rin Woo could stomp his head with her heel. The ground under her feet splintered and she growled in anger before going on the offensive again.
Han just dodged her while trying to get her to say something. She was not in the mood to listen to him so Han grabbed her by the arm and pinned her to the ground.
“Listen to me for fucks sake!!!”
Rin Woo spat in his face and Han recoiled in disgust!
“Fuck you!!”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe wrapped her leg around his head and he pulled her up as he stood. She began hitting the top of his head to knock him out but Han just ran towards the wall of the cage and slammed her back into it.
She coughed up blood and fell to the ground in pain and Han stumbled back while cleaning his face. The crowd went wild.
Yearrrrrrr!!!!
[I think she’s out!! I think she’s out!! For the first time in half a decade the Arcane is out for the count!!]
A man ran in from the side and came to check up on Rin Woo. After a while, he gave a nod to the announcer ad they loudly declared Han the winner. Han could only stand there in absolute confusion as he watched someone take Rin Woo out of the cage before someone else – a woman he didn’t know – came and took him out as well.
…..
In the dark area above the stage, the woman leaned back and hummed. It seemed he was stronger than he looked. He didn’t even seem to struggle against Arcane he didn’t even look out of breath. Who was this man?
“Will you be putting him in the rankings, ma’am?”
She turned back to glare at the man behind her and he quelled under her gaze. This disgusting man shouldn’t be talking to her so much. She knew exactly what he wanted and so she just threw a small bag filled with a white substance behind her for the man to scramble to catch.
He breathly thanked her before slowly retreating into the darkness to go enjoy the substance.
Once he was gone the woman turned back to the cage. Was she going to put him in the ranking? Nobody had been in the rankings within only a few days of getting here, the fastest was their current number one and he took a whole year to enter the ranking. But there was nothing she could say against this Han. He was strong and perfect for the savages down there to bet their money on.
She leaned down and spoke to one of the two women.
“Tell the announcer I have something to say”
The woman nodded before leaving. A minute later she returned with a microphone and everyone quieted as the woman stood up.
“Today we will be making history that hasn’t been made since our top fighter walked into this ring five years ago. Your contender Han Luo will be making it onto the rankings!!”
Yearrrrhhhhh!!!!!
A screen on the other side of the room showed ten names before the name at number five was removed and a new name slid into place. Han Luo.
“To celebrate this moment everyone will be receiving five grams of Wisteria!! Party till you drop dead!!”
The crowd of savages below grew even more frantic and the dealer smiled as she watched them all succumbing to madness. This was the era of the underground, and down here, she was queen
