The instant he disappeared from the floating platform where he had fought the purple clothed man, he appeared on his mountains peak with his body flashing with a blinding light one last time.
He breathed out as his nerves were still jumping around due to his earlier fight. He sat on the solitary ring and began exercising his breath. His chest rose high towards the sky and his diaphragm contracted, helping the inhalation. Then the air in his chest was emptied with his worries, he quickly attained a calm state. It was at this moment that he heard a soft whispering.
"Oh, you're back… How was your first fight with the other genius?" the old archaic voice of the mountain resounded in his ears. He opened his eyes and exclaimed in a bright tone.
"Very interesting! One fight wasn't enough for today", As he spoke, he exerted pressure on his knee and swiftly got up. He approached the center of the stage, and as his feet touched the surface of the transportation area he added, "Sent me back there senior!"
"Hahahaha", The mountains' laugh resounded in their surroundings. It was loud beyond logic and he felt as if his surroundings were facing an Earthquake. "Go on, young one. Absorb all those techniques and turn into a grand tree that will shoulder your planet… Or maybe even the universe." It added with a serious tone before joking at the end.
The next moment after it finished speaking, Fell felt a soft light appear around his body. A flash of light later, the mountain was empty again. The wind softly blew on the virtual earthly peaks as it accompanied the mountain in its solitary life.
As Fell appeared in another fighting platform, his sight crossed the familiar square-shaped slabs that composed the ring. He had noticed that all of the platforms that were made for battles were the same one, the only things that changed were the backgrounds. His first time had been done in the middle of the sky, he remembered the sensation of the wind softly brushing his skin.
Only this time, as he looked around him. Surprise appeared on his face as his sight was focused on his surroundings. In his views, everything around him was a clear indigo blue; as if he was in a giant water tank. He moved his arm briefly and confirmed what his eyes saw, there was a strange viscosity to the air around him.
"Is this? Water?" He thought as he lightly moved his hand in the air around him. "It truly has the density of a liquid, how marvelous!"
He was so amused by his surroundings that his senses were completely oblivious to his opponent. A few moments after he appeared, a strange cough took him back to his senses. He remembered that he was supposed to face and fight an opponent, his sight quickly focused on the man standing in front of him.
The man had a polite smile on his face, and he waved his hand towards Fell in a friendly manner.
"I had the same reaction the first time", his voice perfectly traveled in the liquid before entering Fell's ears. "The air around us has a density nearly equal to the density of water. This type of biome is made to mimic the atmosphere of certain planets", he fluently explained while moving his hand, showing the special property of this place.
"Oh! Thanks for the information, good friend", Fell responded with an honest smile on his face. He had never thought that he would get the opportunity to live such a novel experience inside a game. The more he played Battle Center, the more he was sure that the one who made this game wanted to nurture potential geniuses in the way of fighting.
"Although this is your first time in a biome of this type", The youth in front of Fell had facial features similar to Earthlings, the only distinctive features he had managed to demarcate were his pointed ears that were similar to elves in the fantasy novel that were written on Earth. His incisors were also longer and sharper than a normal human's, they appeared whenever he talked or smiled. "I won't go easy on you. Prepare yourself, my name is Ainqi Baa!" he introduced himself before assuming a fighting stance.
His hand moved towards the ground, and his knee dropped low. Fell eyed his opponent in surprise as he saw the man keep going lower until his hand touched the ground. He was surprised by his opponent's stance, and his mind was quickly intrigued by its mysteries.
