After a 30 minutes of battle, Joe's squad of four won the overall game in Battleground Royale Rumble Semi-Final match for Asia.
"Congratulations Captain!" Says Luna, heartily celebrating while piggy back riding Joe.
"Will you stop doing this, people might have a different impression on us you know..." Concerned reply by Joe.
"hey! How come you get to treat with respect this girl but bash like a mad man against my beloved Freyah?!"says Charlie, the squad's sniper who is actually the fan club president for Freyah, known as dominator and goddess of e-games, other than BRR ofcourse...
"Huh???? That girl is a joke! Besides, Luna is my comrade and the team's sweetheart." Says Joe.
He developed this attitude towards Freyah after defeating Freyah's team in a match several times sniping them one by one. Because Freyah was a celebrated e-games idol, defeating her gave Joe the spotlight ever since.
While Joe was taking a nap after eating a cup noodle, a light suddenly sucked him up and took him to another place...
____________
"Hey fucker!... I mean... Champion...."
Freyah seem to be in a wilderness of her being a goddess with her champion and with a player she hated so much. She's decision however was based on her divine understanding of Joe's ability in managing a small force to victory. Desperately clinging on that understanding, she chose Joe to be her hero.
Joe woke up in confusion
"Where am i?"
"This is Etherna, the city of gods. You are in front of a divine goddess, my name is Freyah-"
"Pffff! I guess i have not wokeup yet. Let me continue my sleep for awhile. The finals is coming near...hmmmm....." He went back to sleep.
Freyah now burning in anger shouted,"i guess i just have to kill you after all" she started stomping on Joe's face until he can't take it anymore.
Freyah: "listen up moron, I am the goddess Freyah, and right now i have summoned you to be my champion to unite the kingdom's in a planet named Evergreen. Should you fail, i will kill you. Should you win, i shall grant you one wish."
"I haven't heard of a goddess named Freyah, i am quite not impressed and i think your power is limited. So no. Go on kill me please." Joe looked at Freyah with no interest at all.
Freyah: "listen up young man, i am a genuine goddess! I can grant you power to win this battle and i can give and grant you any wish, there is no restrictions in me as a goddess! Hmp!" Angrily replied to Joe's comment.
In Joe's mind, if this is truly a dream, he guessed he should just enjoy it and play along. He was quite interested on how to play with a goddess and her absolute wish grant. His mindset as a gamer actually kicked-in the moment Freyah mentioned him as a"champion".
With a smirk in his face, Joe said, "if i aid you on this, what power shall you grant thee????"
Freyah was shocked all of a sudden, unlike the other gods, this is her first time joining a representative battle, and don't know what powers can come useful. Ares, the god of war, have always been the best adviser on this, but to ask favor from him requires a lot of price to pay. And Freyah is actually a lesser goddess, no chance in meeting a well celebrated god like Ares at all.
Sheepish smile "what powers do you need to win this war anyway? I give you preference." Hoping to hide her unpreparedness.
"You don't have a plan, do you?" Irritated gaze came from Joe. "How can you be a goddess huh???!!"
Freyah was feeling uneasy now and disgraced. But she could not fight back because she realized that she didn't summon him with a plan. Her loss in this battle was already determined before the battle even began. It was her utter fault. No other way to look at it.
Joe sighed..."what a useless goddess. You remind me of someone who sucked at BRR. even after having so many options to win a lot of battle, she thought winning can be all because you got the best gears or a large number of following. Truth is, i envy her..."
Freyah was shocked, she knew immediately he was referring to her.
"If i only i have her followers, i might have won every game in my BRR. You need a plan Freyah! You don't just attack using all your skills and gears, know when to use the right tools and tactics at the right time."
Freyah was deeply moved at how composed Joe is despite the situation. She then calmly ask, "so how do we go about this?"
Joe smiled.... "tell me the details on how this battle unfolds... I will win this."
With a determined face, Freyah gave her the details on the coming battle.
