New World
Final Preparation

Toni was a little clueless about what she was facing. A Mr. Mason, one of the leaders of Microboot, comes to Alan to offer a partnership.

Who's Alan? He's just an ordinary young man, who happens to have a gaming account in New World. But his gaming account is what makes Alan in his current position. An account that even had its own power to a place called the Abyss Colosseum.

"I'm sorry Mr. Mason... But I can't accept what you're offering..." Alan tries to subtly deny what Mr. Mason has to offer. Not because he is not interested in Microboot's offer, but because he is not necessarily able to do what Mr. Mason wants.

"Why? What amount do we offer that is less?" Mason frowned, hearing Alan try to reject his request to hire the Abyss Colosseum as the official New World tournament venue.

Remi who sat together with the three people was no less surprised. Any player would agree to Mason's offer. Just imagine... Two million dollars only for land leasing and use of facilities in the Abyss Colosseum. And Alan still rejects it? Remi thinks that Alan is greedy, trying to raise the price that Mr. Mason has to offer. If it wasn't for Mr. Mason beside him. Perhaps the glass filled with juice before him had already floated into Alan's head.

Meanwhile, Toni who was sitting next to Alan just poked her elbow into Alan's elbow. Trying to signal Alan to change his decision.

"It's not so Mr. Mason... The reason... I can't explain to you..." Alan was trying to find the middle line. He did not want to explain his position at the Abyss Colosseum, but he also did not want to make Mason offended by his refusal.

"So so... Does this have anything to do with nominal?" Mason held his chin. He is still trying to explore the way Alan's mind has rejected his offer.

"I can confirm 100% if it's not a matter of Mr. Mason's money. But another problem..." Alan looked into the eyes of Mr. Mason firmly. He knew Mr. Mason was testing himself.

"Hem... All right then... You can call me if you change your mind..." Mason stood up from his seat. There was no longer any business for him to remain in this place after the offer he had given was subtly rejected by Alan.

"Sure Mr. Mason... Sorry I let you down..." Alan and Toni also stood up, saluting the Head of Microboot Public Relations and the head of Microboot marketing.

The two men immediately left the restaurant where they met after returning respectful greetings from Alan and Toni. The five guards guarding them walked behind them. Ensuring that the two leaders of the Microboot company remain safe.

"Are you crazy?" Once again Toni nudged Alan. Trying to ask Alan why he refused the fantastic amount of money. With Two million Dollars, perhaps Alan had not been able to repurchase all the land in his village that was seized by the Sun Flower Guild. But at least Alan can buy back some of the land owned by residents who were seized forcibly.

"You don't know Ton's real problem..." Alan could only answer like that to Toni. He is still a little surprised from where Mason and Remi know he is behind the Abyss Colosseum. It was he who arranged the Abyss Colosseum, but he did not have complete power over the place. The Abyss Colosseum still belonged to the Demon Nation Kingdom, and Alan would naturally not be willing to sell items that did not belong to him.

Alan was not someone like his own Uncle. Selling other people's property to be able to get money or position. That's Alan's principle. The principle that his father always taught him first.

"Well... It's up to you Lan..." Toni still doesn't understand Alan's way of thinking. Alan's path of thought is always difficult to guess, but it is from the way of his mind that Alan can always produce an extraordinary mind.

"What should I do to that boy, Mr Mason?" Remi immediately asked Mr. Mason as soon as he and Mr. Mason entered a black limo that was to be their ride.

"Don't joke you Remi... Recall... He has relatives of the Wellington Family..." Mason just chuckled at the stupid question from Remi. From the question just now, it is clear if Remi is really a person who does not think long-term about his actions.

"But Sir... What's he doing..." Remi tries to remind Mr. Mason of Alan's rejection. For him, such a thing is like an insult to the Microboot company.

If it wasn't for the existence of a Soul Crystal that could raise a player's life, the Microboot party would not have tried to invite Alan to cooperate. The existence of a true Soul Crystal could truly make a tournament feel so lively, a life-and-death fight without fear of losing a level. Such tournaments are what Microboot can't do right now.

Microboot suspects that the Soul Crystal is a bug, as the Soul Crystal is not an item created by White Brain, the God-making system. But the technical division found no sign of bugs. The Soul Crystal was officially an item in the New World. It's just that it wasn't made by White Brain.

Just imagine... An item that could undermine the New World system's order. If such an item were to spread widely, then the New World game order would be chaotic. There would no longer be a leveling drop system due to one item named the Soul Crystal. If until such a thing happens, then the prestige of New World as the most realistic VR Game will disappear.

"Quite Remi... He must have had a good reason to do that..." Prevent Mason before Remi says any further.

"Reason?"

"Whatever it is, it's definitely not about the money..."

"Are you sure Mr Mason?"

"I can see it from his eyes... If he doesn't lie..."

Remi also chose silence rather than the reason should continue to be disputed. After all Mr. Mason has a slightly higher standing than he is. He certainly does not want to be deposed from the Microboot company just because of one problem like this.

"Lane... Think about it again..." Toni still persuades Alan to change his decision, even though they have both arrived at their dormitory.

"Have I told you how many times Ton? I can't do it..." Alan starts to feel upset himself to Toni. When it comes to profitable business, Toni will be more chatty than a woman who is coming months.

"But why Lan?" Toni who did not get a clear explanation from Alan, continued to try to find the real reason.

"You want to know why? Come to the Demon Nation Kingdom. I'll show you everything..." Alan no longer knew what to say. Showing the truth to Toni is the quickest way to silence Toni's chatty mouth.

Alan didn't give a response from Toni. He still has to take care of the appointment of the new King of the Demon Nation Kingdom, Rendemiz. By installing his VR helmet, Alan's mind goes to the world that became his second world. Leaving her body lying on a bed in her dorm room.

"Well..." Toni just took a deep breath. He also follows Alan into the New World.

Arriving at the New World, Toni headed straight for the teleportation gate. He wanted to head to the Demon Nation Kingdom to find out the reason for Alan rejecting the offer from Microboot.

It didn't take long for Toni to reach the Demon God Kingdom, or else it would soon become the Demon Nation Kingdom. He immediately set up his system to contact Alan.

"Where are you? I've come..."

"Come to the Abyss Colosseum... The second tallest building after the Royal Palace."

Without any significant difficulty, Toni instantly discovered what Alan meant. Although New World is still night today, Toni will still not wait for the sun to rise. The curiosity in his mind continued to spur his body to immediately find out Alan's reason. If Alan's reason is just a silly reason, he will immediately try to persuade Alan to change his mind.

"Welcome Mr. Toni... Please comein..." Say hello to Karolina who was waiting for Toni in front of the Abyss Colosseum.

"Where do you know that?" Toni was a little surprised, finding an NPC who knew his identity...

"US Master is waiting for you... Lets... Follow Me..." Karolina immediately invites Toni to enter the Abyss Colosseum. Leaving a large area in front of the Abyss Colosseum that began to be visited by several Merchants.

"Thank you Karolina... You can leave us both..." Alan's orders still set some items on the table.

Karolina bowed respectfully and immediately left the two young men.

"So?" Toni started a question that stuck in her mind.

"You look at this..." Alan pointed at the item item that was on the table.

Toni approaches Alan and sees what is on the table.

"It's..."

"Really... This was the reason why they tried to hire the Abyss Colosseum. They wanted this item for them to use in their tournament."

Toni thought a little about all the possibilities, after seeing dozens of Soul Crystals lying on the table.

"But why?" Toni tries to figure out why Microboot wants the Soul Crystal. If indeed Microboot wants it, then simply Microboot makes it. That easy... Why did I have to go through Alan.

"I don't know for sure... But this item would ruin all the game system's order in New World if it were until an item like this spread widely."

"Where did you get this item?" Toni doesn't think... Where did Alan get the item that even Microboot himself wanted so badly. And Alan's got so many this time.

"That's what I'm going to explain... Prepare yourself..." Alan took The Forgotten Dagger, and opened the dimensional gate towards The Forgotten World.

Tony was surprised by what Alan did. But his shock turned into awe after seeing the contents of The Forgotten World. A city that looked so beautiful was now plastered in front of Toni. Perhaps even the Hidden Capital of Forrest, which was famous for its beauty, lost to the City before him.

"Come..." Without long. Alan invites Toni to meet the creator of the Soul Crystal, Asmodias.

###

"What are you coming here for? Are there any less things I made for you?" Asmodias immediately sewot after seeing the arrival of Alan.

It's natural... Every time Alan came to see Asmodias, Alan would have asked Asmodias to make something with the special power of Asmodias.

"Why did you rent it... Everything I ask for is also for the formation of the Demon Nation Kingdom..." Reply Alan who was feeling a little annoyed with Asmodias. He never asked for an item for himself. All that he wanted was to form a convenient Demon Nation Kingdom for the Demon Nation to live in.

"Well... Okay..."

While Toni who was standing behind Alan just looked at Asmodias. He is so sure... If the figure before him this time was not a careless figure. A thousand Light Guardian warriors like him though, were not necessarily able to win against the Demon figure before him.

"Who is he?" Asmodias asked who was looking suspiciously at Toni. Rarely did Alan bring others to meet him.

"He's my friend... Rather than taking care of it... There's something else you have to do..." Alan also explained to Asmodias about the purpose of coming here.

Asmodias had expected it, if Alan really intended to ask himself to make something. But he also could not refuse it, he knew that what Alan pinta was for the good of the Demon Nation Kingdom.

"Do you see who he is?"

"Hum..." Toni just nodded with Alan's question. Although he did not know who Asmodias was, from the looks of it it was already seen that Asmodias was a powerful Demon.

"He is Asmodias... The true Demon Nation Leader. Everything related to the Abyss Colosseum he made. Including the Abyss Colosseum itself..."

"So?" Toni tilted her head... Little did not understand Alan's explanation.

"Wear your brain stupid... How could I sell something that's not mine..." Alan gave a jolt to Toni's head. Trying to stimulate Toni's slightly inhibited thinking.

"Ooo..." Toni now understands why Alan did not sell the Abyss Colosseum, even if it was just for rent. The Abyss Colosseum still belonged to the Demon Nation Kingdom, Alan had no right to take advantage of the Abyss Colosseum.

"So you've been taking care of the Abyss Colosseum for nothing?" Toni glanced at Alan.

"Take this in return for them taking care of me during my time in the Abyss World..." Alan only smiled lightly answering Toni's question.

###

The day that everyone will arrive... Final day of the first Abyss Colosseum Tournament. The spectators and Merchants had started to arrive around the Abyss Colosseum. Trying to be the first to be able to earn a place within the Abyss Colosseum.

But there is something a little different... The area around the Abyss Colosseum was now in the care of thousands of Demons. No Merchant or player should approach the vacant land around the Abyss Colosseum. Merchant Merchants who had arranged their stalls in the place also had to accept if they had to move first. Instead of their merchandise confiscated like hawkers seized by Satpol PP.

"Why?"

"Is the Tournament Final void?"

Questions kept coming out from the players preparing to enter the Abyss Colosseum. But because of the tight guard that the Demon Nation did. Not a single player dared to go any further.

The question was answered a little after the appearance of a large magic circle above the Abyss Colosseum.

"What's that?"

"Wasn't it?"

Everyone immediately thought of an impromptu attack. Remembering today is also the day of the appointment of the King of the Demon Nation Kingdom. The Temple of Light would definitely not allow such a thing to happen.

Everyone's eyes grew even more widened after seeing what came out of the black magic circle. They had not expected that there was one power that could do such a thing.
