New World
Glimmer of Hope

"Gina... Slap me..." Fire Blade muttered slowly. Both his eyes only blinked a few times while looking at what was presented in front of him. It was as if Fire Blade was in disbelief of the function of his two eyeballs.

Fire Blade was still in disbelief, if the place that was only a few days ago was the place of the Temple of Light. Now it has turned into a magnificent Colosseum.

Just a few days... And the Demon Nation could already create a Colloseum that somehow required how many thousands of Gold coins to build it.

"You're seriously a Guild Master?" Gina's lyrics to her Mast er Guild.

Plaque...

A single slap on Fire Blade's cheek made Fire Blade wake up from his daydream. Making Fire Blade's left cheek instantly turn red instantly.

"Why did you slap me?" Fire Blade grumbled at Gina's treatment of him.

"Lho..." Gina's mouth immediately formed a large O. Looking strangely at Fire Blade who blamed himself.

"That's it... Let's go in..." Take the Fire Blade on Gina. He was filled with curiosity about the Colosseum towering as high as 20 meters.

The sound of a fight from within the Colosseum could Fire Blade hear from outside. The cheers of the audience who continued to echo were no less great to enliven the atmosphere around the Colosseum. Plus dozens of stand stands Merchant sementsra who compete with each other to display merchandise. It is true to make the magnificent Colosseum look more magnificent.

"Are you sure of your Guild Master's wishes?" Ask Gina again. After seeing how much his life the Colosseum was before him. Gina hesitated that the offer Fire Blade would give the mysterious player would be heard.

"Mr Mathias already believes in us... We have to satisfy him..." Fire Blade replied with a doubtful smile on his lips. Not only did Gina hesitate, she was also hesitant about whether or not to accept her offer. Let alone for that, for the mysterious player was willing to meet him or not only did he hesitate.

"Welcome to the Abyss Colosseum. Can I help you?" Asked a female NPC in a black and white uniform who had a human race in the informing section.

"I'd like to meet with the Colosseum manager. Can it?" Fire Blade replied to the female NPC without showing the slightest hint of the arrogance she usually displayed. Seeing that there were hundreds of Demon Nations standing guard at some corner of the Colosseum made Fire Blade's guts faintly.

"I'm sorry... Colosseum managers can not be found without making an appointment first. Do you have an appointment?" Asked once again the female NPC lady to Fire Blade.

"That's... I don't have an appointment yet..."

"Then please fill out a list of queues to meet with Colosseum administrators, we will contact you if it is your turn to be able to meet with Colosseum administrators." The female NPC gave a book to Fire Blade.

Fire Blade prepared to write his name on one of the pages of the book. But he was surprised, found there are more than 30 names that have been listed in the book.

"I'm sorry... Are they all name names that will meet with the Colosseum manager as well?" Fire Blade asked after reading the list of names already written.

"True Sir... All those who wanted to meet with the Colosseum administrators wrote down names in the book."

"Then what number have you entered?" Fire Blade tried to guess how long he would have to wait for the queue.

"None of those names we've called yet. The manager of the Colosseum is still taking care of other things, so he has not had time to meet any of the guests who want to meet him."

"Well..." Fire Blade's face immediately went limp after hearing the reply from the female NPC. He had thought it would be easy to find the existence of a mysterious player figure by visiting the Colosseum. But apparently all looks are not as easy as with the shadow. Looking for one player among thousands of players, it was really like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Fire Blade could only leave after writing his name in the queue list. His sense of passion had disappeared after knowing how many queues he had to wait for. It could be in the list of names of the queue, there is one name that has the same offer as Fire Blade will submit. And he will certainly fail if the mysterious player has established cooperation with one of the names in the queue list earlier.

"Guild Masters... Look..." Gina who had been waiting for Fire Blade took the time to open the New World forum.

"What's wrong?" Fire Blade who was still disappointed by how many queues he had to wait immediately put on an unpleasant face. She uses Gina as an outlet for her disappointment.

"There's one new post on an interesting forum..." Gina did not respond too much to Fire Blade's disappointed face. He believes that the new post on the New World forum will be able to treat Fire Blade's disappointment.

"Good... We still have a chance..." A smile rose on Fire Blade's lips after reading the new post Gina showed. Giving him a little hope of his plan that seemed to have fallen apart.

[US Halo.].

Say hello to the Joker as soon as Alan logged back into the New World.

'Hi Joker... Long time no see... How are you doing?'

[I am an artificial intelligence, I do not have a physical state that can be used as a benchmark for my circumstances.]

'Haha.... I'm just stale... Don't be so serious...'

[Good US.].

Alan only smiled hearing the answer from the Joker. I don't know why... He was thrilled to hear the Joker's voice again after nearly two weeks of playing New World without the Joker. Maybe this is called longing delivered by people. His current feelings, almost the same as when he met Vizgraf a few days ago.

Perhaps because the Joker is the only friend Alan can rely on the most. Alan already considers the Joker not as a support system, but as a friend sharing his thoughts with him. What Alan knows, then the Joker knows too.

Alan doesn't know if the Joker can come to know his feelings or not, and Alan doesn't want to question that. Enough Joker to be by his side when he needs a talkative, that's enough. Just like when he was in the Abyss World. Only the Joker can know all of Alan's thoughts.

Maybe Flyin can read the contents of Alan's mind, but of course Flyin will not be able to agree that the true Joker is in Alan's mind.

'Let's go Joker... There's one thing I want you to do.'

[Good US... Whatever it is.].

Kwaaak...

Chiro flew directly over Alan's shoulders. Making Alan's shoulder as the most comfortable perch.

"Yes... You're also following Chiro..." Alan's smile as he stroked the head of his small black and white Dragon.

'Joker... Analyze every attribute of the Demon fighting in this place. I want you to deflect all the Demons fighting in this place based on their level of strength.' Alan's first orders to the Joker as soon as he gets to the VIP room to watch the games presented at the Colosseum.

Alan needed to analyze all the Demon Nation powers he had brought with him. He should be able to create a structured Royal army before the Demon Nation Kingdom officially stands. By grouping the Demons based on their strength, Alan could form a coordinated army later on.

[Good US.].

[Data recording and analysis begins.].

Alan was just sitting sweet while the Joker did his job, not himself. If watching a fight match at the Colosseum is indeed so interesting to see.

'Joker... Analyze that Elf!' One of the matches between an Elf and a Demon caught Alan's attention. Not because of what, the Elf could easily subvert an Advance Demon, who in fact had the class of strength with Flyin.

[Scanning objects... Data analysis.].

The Joker instantly displays the elf data that Alan was referring to. Alan was a little surprised when he read the data that the Joker displayed.

"Hem... Good then... I can use it..." Alan gave a small smile seeing a name that read Poska on top of the data that the Joker displayed. Poska is a Commander of the Light Guardian.

He did not expect at all, if a Commander Light Guardian would be willing to fight inside the Colosseum. Although Alan understood a little what the purpose and purpose of Poska actually participated in the fight in the Colosseum. But Alan didn't want to bother about it. For Alan, the most important thing is... He can get answers to Toni's problems.

Not wanting to take too long in action, Alan immediately wrote something on the New World forum. A post that will certainly make the interest of the fighters even greater to immediately come to the Colosseum.

[The fighter who has won three times in a row participated in the Abyss Colosseum, will get the opportunity to participate in the mini tournament organized by the Demon Nation Kingdom in the Abyss Colosseum. The winner of the mini-tournament will get a chance to challenge the Shadow Warrior to a fight. And if the challenger managed to win, then the challenger would get any reward from the new King of the Demon Nation Kingdom. The final and challenger of the Shadow Warrior will be done at the inauguration of the Demon Nation Kingdom, replacing the Demon God Kingdom.]
