The arena is filled with people, players and NPCs alike, they are all here to witness the birth of the first annual competition that players are looking forward to. The Arena has never been this lively in this current timeline so the seats are all jam-packed with players and NPCs trying to get a seat.
"Master, can I also compete here? I saw lots of strong people I wanted to clash swords with and I wanted to at least do something like this even once,"
"If only I can do that, I wouldn't be participating in this contest at all. They will easily find you as a summon or a follower. NPCs like you are not permitted to participate."
"Damn..."Atlas is disappointed.
Yeah its a pretty disappointing thing since you can't use them at all to fight in the arena due to their abilities and unlike players, they can be pretty broken which is why they are not allowed to fight in the arena replacing the players to fight as this will break the battle system.
