[You are the 457th player to make it to the finals]
[Finals will start when the 500th players arrives]
Mylo was transported inside a significant spacious area, nothing could be seen around other then players. The silenced atmosphere was quite deafening, the players that managed to make this far knew how skilled their competition were. It was no easy feet to reach the top five-hundred players and they made sure not to underestimate anyone. Mylo could see a few players grouped together, most likely members of the same guild. Out of the numerous groups, one managed to attract Mylo's attention. After seeing the guild banner attached to their gear, Mylo couldn't contain his displeasure but still kept himself a safe distance from them.
"Sir! A new player just arrived."
"Hm?..."
'!'
Zaros the guild leader of Cosmos Legion, looked directly a Mylo with a stern expression as to analyze him thoroughly. At this point, Mylo had no reason to hide himself from him. Since he saw him, he was ready to step forth and confront him. But to his surprise, his next word shocked him to his core.
"Hmph, just ignore him. His in the four hundreds, his nothing special."
'What! D-did he really not recognize me? His own cousin? Hahaha! Truly fascinating, was the original owner of this body such a nobody to you that you'll disregard ever knowing his existence after taking everything away from him?'
Anger started to well up inside of him, even though Zaros wasn't his real cousin, he still shared the pain and memories of the original owner. Seeing the man who was one of the antagonist of his suffering not even remembering what he did and to whom, truly made his blood boil. Yet, he knew that this wasn't the time to act. Such anger must be directed to where it can have an effect and this wasn't it.
'Ha~. I'll make sure you remember who I am you fucker!'
As he was calming himself down, he could hear the next words that came out his despicable cousin's mouth right after his previous comment.
"I'm more interested in him, that bastard made it here before me."
"He just got lucky, Sir! Even if his the first in the tournament leaderboard his still nothing compared to you!"
"Whatever, If his truly strong I will eventually face him in this tournament."
'Who is he talking about? There a leaderboard too?'
A sudden notification window appeared in front of him. The information displayed on the screen was the tournament ranking. leaderboard.
[Tournament Leaderboard
1- Zero
2- Zaros
3-Ulyle
4- Edward
...
457- Cosmo]
'Zero! The first person to choose his class and the number one ranker in the world leaderboard. Nothing is known about him, many speculation were told online but none could be verified. The longer his mystery lasted the more popular he got with the public. Where is he? What does he look like?'
Mylo looked at the direction Zaros pointed at when he spoke out loud. In the upper right corner was a man laying his back to the wall. He was of relatively short size, equipped with black leathered attire and dark hair, making him blend in the relatively dark corner. He had both arms crossed, his face was looking down with his eyes closed. One couldn't see his facial appearance because of the dark veil covering his mouth and nose. His figure expressed a certain intention to the one that laid eyes on him, Mylo could tell what he was trying to convey, if he had to guess it would be something like; 'Do not speak to me.'
If Mylo wasn't intentionally trying to find this individual, he would have easily missed him. The aura of mystery oozed out of him.
'No wonder he chose the rogue path. This path suits him very well.'
"..."
"What are you looking at so intensely?"
"WHOA!"
"Eyy~, don't get scared so easily. Hahaha~"
"U-Ulyle? Why did you have to sneak up on me like that?"
"Hahaha! Sorry, sorry. I'm glad to see you, ever since I made it here I was worried you wouldn't manage to make it yourself."
"Of course I would make it here! Do you really think a nobody would have a hundred percent affinity with an NPC such as Efferus."
"I would never think like that. Thanks to you I managed to learn a powerful skill. It might even allow me to win the first place."
"Oho~. And what kind of skill are we talking about here?"
"I'm sure you will eventually get to see it in action. Hahaha!"
"Tsk, I knew you wouldn't tell me anything."
"I would if either of us did not participate in the tournament. Anyway, what where you looking so hard at?"
"I was looking at him, I was just curious about his identity."
"Oh, you're talking about mister big shot over there. His quite a mystery, I heard he won all his matches within seconds. He uses quite a unusual weapon."
"Oh? What kind of weapon?"
"You'll be shock. He uses a-"
[ALL 500 PLAYERS ARE PRESENT! YOU WILL BE TRANSPORTED TO THE FINALS AREA]
"Oh! its time, let's talk later. See ya!"
"W-wait! What weapon does he u-"
