Chereads / One Box Man / Chapter 12 - Watcher

Chapter 12 - Watcher

Hearing the loud cry outside, Steve was feeling tense. 

His arms, feet, and chest was quivering and heavy.

He tried to rotate his left and right arm to relax, yet the feeling of uneasiness was the same.

What will happen if he was in a battle or in game.

"I need to relax."

Steve said.

He suddenly bounced a little.

He alternated his weight from his back to his front leg in a swift jumping motion. 

Making sure that he is keeping his feet low on the ground and his hands covering his face near his jaw area.

One step!

Steve drove a punch with his shoulder.

Swoof!

Pak!

The hit made the air snap.

Steve remembered the day when he met a creature for the first time.

He was also shaking that time, breathing, thinking if everything was real before him.

Right here, right now, he wanted to be in the present.

It was like this. Suddenly, he wore one of his boxing gloves in his right hand for preparation.

Shadowboxing and punching with his left hand occasionally to avoid penalty in his invincible state.

"This is not enough. I need to relax more."

Steve said.

He closed his eyes and saw the darkness of his vision on his feet.

His constant heavy breathing, his pants sway, and every slight unnoticeable crunch of every part of his legs.

Steve is feeling it all.

"Boxers keep bouncing around to stay light on their feet."

"It allows us to move in and out of our opponent's range and instantly change our direction to cover more distance."

Steve said and stepped backwards.

"Also, bounce-step makes us boxers unpredictable and helps us to deliver more powerful punches."

With a little step forward, Steve made another whistling punch with his weight!

A simple jab!

All of a sudden, Steve stopped.

Ding!

[ Does the player want to engage and watch? (Yes) or (No) ]

Steve needed help understanding. He was still causally punching the air that would make a sound occasionally.

So he nodded at the system.

Ding!

[ The player said yes! ]

Outside the capsule, everyone was chatting in the general chat.

[ See more… ]

[ Pokalok Corny! ]

[ Helga: Haha! A man of what?! Cute. ]

[ Halfu: Wish! He is trying to choose me, boy. ]

[ Zebrana: Hahaha, funny! ]

[ Fey-fey Don't bash him. Maybe that guy just wanted to be great. ]

[ Droney: Feel the heat, mofastooo! ]

[ God_dam_it: Haha, a pick-me guy. ]

[ Chat: _________ ]

The corny description made him a laughingstock in the Earth chat group.

At the centre of the battlefield, Gulfon Gandar was a little embarrassed. 

However, he didn't interact much with women, so he didn't care.

Then all of a sudden, all of them stopped.

The announcer Shura stopped, the participant player human Gulfon Gandar stopped, and even the Asura Ashura in his front stopped.

Steve looked at the crowd of Asura Shura women. He noticed that they were currently looking at him.

"Hm?"

Steve convinced himself that he just saw things while hallucinating.

He decided not to think about it and asked something about the system he had seen earlier.

'System, may I look at my profile.'

Ding!

[[ Steve Box ]]

[[ Name: Steve Marciano Martinez. ]]

[[ Title: Strongest Boxer. ]]

[[ Description ]] - [ My only dream is to experience a good fight, where I could stand at the top of the battlefield or a ring and meet someone who could withstand my punch and share the cheers of my people. ]

[[ Passive skills ]]

[[ One punch boxing ]] - [ Can destroy every single thing in the multiverse or universe in one punch as long as the player wears boxing gloves. ]

[[ Shadow box punch ]] - [ To keep the player alive or survive by paying from borrowing power in all existence. ]

[[ Mind reader resistance ]] - [ Granted by Endless witch, makes the player immune to mind reading as long as the Endless witch is still alive. ]

[[ Skill ]]

[ Simple Jab - Intermediate. ]

[ Strongest punch - Novice. ]

Seeing the boxing skill, Steve ignored it as he was just a simple newbie boxer.

He just happened to have a system that made him stronger and did not allow him to compete in real boxing.

His eyes locked on the [[ Mind reader resistance ]]

'Is that what the witch had given me?'

Steve thought and sighed silently in his heart.

However, suddenly, he felt a rumble in his ear.

"THE STRONGEST HUMAN OF THE SIX HUMANS!!!"

A loud female voice created a booking sound in the air.

"THE STRONGEST THAT CAME FROM EARTH WANTED TO WATCH THE FIGHT! HE WANTED TO WATCH THE FIGHT!"

The female voice said with a high intensity in her voice.

The excitement and the energy she was releasing made his voice crackles in the air a little.

Waking Steve from his stupor.

When he turned his head to the side, he saw four more capsules were closed.

Steve didn't know that the capsules were arranged and the strongest would be in the bottom left.

He was in the bottom left. 

He is the strongest.

Yet, he had no ideas about it.

Steve didn't hear about the arrangement of strongest or whatever because the whistling sound from his shadow-boxing punches was so loud.

Swoof! Swoof! Swoof!

Steve was still driving punches then and there with his left hand that didn't have boxing gloves on.

His eyes suddenly landed on the tall individual with pointy ears and red eyes that had a mark on his forehead but were pretty muscular too.

The red hair made him intimidating, dangerous and noticeable, and Steve couldn't help but notice him.

'An Asura?'

Is the only thing that came to Steve's mind.

Even though he had never seen one, he knew it was likely an Asura. After all, he was in the Asura universe or something.

On the general chat, earth server.

[ See more… ]

[ Dangal: Oh god, our representative is enormous. ]

[ Fellata: I wonder what it would feel if he was on top of me. ]

[ VikingGun: It's my bloodline, I'm sure! It's Viking's bloodline! ]

[ Farose: What a giant monster, it's 9 feet tall? What a monster. ]

[ Gard: We all know we can be tall as him, lol. ]

Everyone was surprised by the massive size of Steve.

They may not know his face as it is blurry on the screen, but at least they know that he is a monster in size.

On the other screen is a chat room.

[[ Top 10 strongest on the earth general chat ]]

[ Endless witch: What? How come he changed? ]

Despite being small, she knew that the guy he met was the one. She could feel the danger from him.

However, now it seems she is wrong. Steve is an entirely different person.

Just from the size alone, she knew that he was different.

[ Rave Man: Don't ask me anything about him. ]

He said.

He watched Steve from afar; several hidden cameras were installed in Steve's boxing gym.

It's for the raven man to monitor and be wary of Steve.

It is his contingency plan.

He discovered how Steve's power works and planned to keep it a secret. At the same time, he didn't know how to defeat the morphing of Steve.

As long as he knew that Steve was weak without a boxing glove, it was all fine.

Raven Man also uses Steve as the other contingency plan to destroy anyone in the top ten strongest. 

Including him and the others, if the top ten strongest became fallen, even if it's unlikely.

After all, he knew what was on Steve's shelves.

[ Vlad Hanma: You guys know him personally? ]

He asked.

For him, finding an opponent was his utmost goal in his life...

After reading the discussion of Raven Man and Endless Witch, Vlad is excited.

He's been on top for too long.

[ Speed-O-Devil: He sounds strong. ]

The speedster said on the chat.

[ Lu Bu: I hope he is as strong as Vlad. I want to experience defeat! ]

Lu Bu, who was lurking, said. He is not a fool. The way Raven Man mentions Steve or the representative means there's something different about him.

Lu Bu expected Steve to be in the contingency plans in Raven Man's hand.

[ Vlad Hanma: Do you want to go against me again? ]

One could feel a terrifying battle intent on those chats.

To him, mentioning his name was the same as a challenge.

[ Lu Bu: Let's go on a random mission. Once we meet on top, we will have a showdown. ]

Hearing this, Vlad's fast hand instantly relied upon.

[ Vlad Hanma: Don't disappoint me. If you die, I will find you and wait for you here. ]

Someone finally could not help but interject.

[ Nuclear Lady: Aren't you guys going to fix the representative if he loses? ]

She asked. 

Worried that the two would be in the heat, battle heads again.

[ Vlad Hanma: We will wait for the colossal fellow to win. ]

He said.

According to the way Raven Man chatted, it's unlikely that the Earth representative would lose. He is just highly cautious; that's in his nature.

Back to Steve, he saw the other capsules also open.

Steve could see the bodies of the other humans, they were all small, and two were also huge but not as huge as him.

Their faces are covered in darkness, like a blur he cannot see.

"OH, MAY GAAAD!"

The Asura Shura voice banged the whole battlefield.

"THE OTHERS SHOWED THEMSELVES TOO!!!"

She continued.

KILL! KILL! KILL! KILL! KILL! KILL! KILL!

Cheers from the other Shuras resounded.

The man in the space armour suit and the Asura still need to meet each other.

There's a barrier between them, so they can't see each other.

The game was finally going to start.
