"* Rowan Enzo and H0gal. The fight will start in 2 minutes. Get ready, weaklings.*"
Rowan and H0gal, who were both getting ready for a fight, stopped and listened to the message over the speakers. W's voice rang through the big hall.
"Heh. Well, I'll see you in the ring then." H0gal spoke as he turned around and walked towards the exit. Rowan chuckled before doing the same.
The rest of the players went back to doing what they were doing since the fight they were hoping to see had stopped. Everybody wanted to see how Rowan would compare to H0gal for he was only 1 spot ahead. Plus Rowan's fight with Kira had everybody aching to see his full potential.
After all, it was the first-ever fight for The 10 to stop out of nowhere.
Meanwhile, Kira was in her room with the channel pulled up on her system, showcasing the ring being prepared. She and Untitled were looking at each other confused about what to do. Untitled was trying to figure out who she was while she was thinking about how to approach him.
Even if she didn't look it, Kira was a huge animal lover. That was why she was pleasantly surprised to watch Rowan choose to stay out of the fight instead of killing the Tryphuji.
"Purrrrrrr!"
Untitled came close to her as she was frozen on the bed. He purred as he rubbed himself along her leg.
'So cute!'
"G-get away f-from me!" she yelled pulling her leg away.
On the other hand, Rowan was stretching in the waiting room looking at his sin system. He focused on the [Durability] And [Energy] attributes.
'Does this mean I have a second energy core? That must be the one I can't release or people will know.' he thought. 'Well, it's weak right now so I don't think I have to worry about that. But this one...'
He started at the [Durability] on his screen.
'What does this mean? Does each sin have its element that it focuses on? It would make sense since this armor is from the [pride] section.' Rowan thought about it some more and came to one conclusion.
He would need to rely on this system more and learn to reap the benefits that it gave. From what he knew there seemed to be a huge chance that someone used the system before him and that's why all the stats are the way they are. He was going to get all the skills, weapons, rewards, and boosts he could. The only thing he would mostly use from the other system would be his Ahi.
'Hehehehe I'm going to be so overpowered.' Rowan had a scary face as he cackled to himself.
"Whatchu laughing 'bout?"
"AHHHHHHHHHH!"
Rowan looked behind him to find H0gal again.
'I really must strengthen my Ahi with my eyes open!' Rowan thought. Maybe if his Ahi was stronger he could keep up his sen forever and not fall to this guy's tricks.
He watched as H0gal laughed out loud.
"I LOVE YOUR REACTIONS!" He yelled between breaths.
"Glad at least one of us is having fun," Rowan rolled his eyes, unamused.
"Hey, so what's the deal with you?" H0gal circled Rowan.
Looking closer he had cat-like features with slanted eyes and a small nose. His ears were long like Talis and pointy with long earrings. He was wearing the same pants and scarf around his hips that he wore before. The strap was over his chest as well with pockets on the side of them. It was still unknown what was in there for he has relied on his strength thus far.
"What do you mean?" Rowan asked.
"Well first of all you got a power level of 32. Then you passed the first exam and even fought with Kira. Not only did you fight, but you held your own and The 10 had to even step in." H0gal kept jumping around him. "Looking at your profile you're not that special. Yet you seem to be so prideful for someone so weak."
"Well maybe if I act strong I might manifest and become the strongest player," Rowan shrugged his shoulders.
"Mhm but even if that's true, you are still too confident of yourself....almost like you have a backup plan," H0gal was starting to get in Rowan's face. He loomed over him staring intently with his vicious eyes.
Rowan was also frozen in his spot. 'Stay calm.'
"Backup plan? If you're talking about my ability to sleep fight, then guilty as charged." He laughed to try and lighten up the mood. H0gal kept staring but it wasn't as intense as before and after a few seconds he backed away.
The duo suddenly heard the crowd roar.
"I hope you all had a good break ladies and gentlemen."
W spoke on the other side of the big doors.
"We shall now continue with the two fights that remain to be seen."
Rowan stepped up to the door stretching his arms over his head. H0gal did the same and squatted down.
"The fight between the #6th spot and the #5th shall now start. Please welcome Rowan Enzo and H-0-gal?"
"IT'S HOGAL! HOGAL!" He frustratedly jumped around.
The big doors opened up as the crowd went wild.
"WAIT WHERE'S H0GAL!?"
"YEAH, WHY IS IT ONLY ONE PERSON?"
TRCreader: Ayyy ur back!
Rowan looked over to his side to see that H0gal had disappeared. 'That man's rendement is crazy!' he thought as he walked forward to the ring. Suddenly a portal opened up on the other side and the person to step out was none other than H0gal himself.
"WOOOOOOOOOO!!!"
The crowd of course went crazy for him as he teleported through the stands. He gave different people high fives and showed off his muscles. He grabbed a girl's hand and bowed to kiss it. Rowan watched as they all went mad and screamed their lungs out.
'I'm sure he's just drowning in donations right now...' He thought and he was right. The [200] coin donations were bombarding H0gal's screen.
Ding!

'Wow, I'm at the bottom.' Rowan looked into the crowd.
Stephensolos: You gon let him outdo you like that?
"Of course not!" Rowan started getting ready to jump.
DING!
[PRIDE has leveled up]
He took out the tree branches he had collected and expanded them. He jumped onto one as it grew bigger from sucking on his Ahi.
'This is definitely coming back to bite me in the ass.' he swung towards the crowd making a show of himself.
Pouring his Ahi into the tree, he sped up the evolution resulting in a bloom of flowers and leaves. He was floating over the crowd, raining down on them, the petals as he waved and reached his hand down for the people to touch. H0gal watched this from the side and chuckled before teleporting to the top.
Ding!
[Grippercookie has donated 200 coins]
[The heavenly beings are entertained by your childish competition ]
He raised up his arms pouring all his Ahi into them and fused them together. The portals he had created smashed into each other and created a huge wave of light and color. A rainbow was sent through the stadium as the crowd cheered hard for H0gal. Rowan gave a smirk watching this unfold.

H0gal got more and more attention.
'Is he crazy?' W thought to himself. He wasn't the only person thinking that as Kira watched from her dorm.
She had now made peace with untitled and he rested on her head. 'Using that much energy when the fight hasn't even started. He's either got a monstrous amount of Ahi reserve or he's just a dumbass.'
"Alright, that's enough." W stepped in before Rowan could make his next move. "You two dummies go back to the ring."
He spoke calmly as always but there was a chilling demand behind his voice. Rowan lowered himself and stepped into the ring while H0gal did the same.
'He's used up so much energy!' Rowan looked at the man standing in front of him. He had his arms raised, trying to keep a steady breath.
'I think this will be easy.'
