The moment bonebanes massive body hit the arena floor, the crowd went wild.
Cheers, applause, and roars of excitement filled the coliseum.
The spectators couldn't believe their eyes, witnessing a spectacle unlike any they had seen before.
The announcer's voice was lost in the cacophony of noise, and she didn't need words to convey her astonishment.
Her gestures and expressions spoke volumes as she held her hands to her flushed cheeks, her eyes wide with disbelief.
Old Lu and the two men who were already filthy rich and were about to get even richer were standing on their feet, pumping their fists into the air.
Their cheers were nearly as loud as the crowd's.
"He did it!"
"Were rich! Were f*cking rich!"
"Dracula Von Death, the prince of Death!"
"Von Death!"
"Von Death!"
"Von Death!"
The spectators chanted my name, and it echoed throughout the arena.
Doubts and ridicule had long been replaced by awe and admiration.
I had not only defeated the reigning champion but I had done it with unparalleled style and resourcefulness.
As I walked to the bonebane who was actually still alive, but was breathing Its last with my katana In hand the arena quieted down.
The spectators craned their necks as they studied my every move.
"No hard feelings pal, It's just good business"
I muttered as I placed my katana against the monster's head, and while using all my strength sliced Into its flesh.
As I sliced into the bonebanes flesh and then drew a 360 curve, the crowd watched in stunned silence.
My display of strength and ruthlessness left them in awe.
With my katana buried in the ground, I grabbed the creature's diablo-like horns and planted my right foot against its shoulder.
As I began to pull upward with all my might, the spectators could see the life slowly leaving the massive reptilian predator.
A collective gasp swept through the arena as bonebanes head was severed from its body.
A hush fell over the spectators, and then it was broken by a deafening roar of approval and excitement.
The Coliseum had just witnessed an incredible display of power and dominance.
"Reaper!"
"Reaper!"
"Reaper!"
The arena became electrified as the spectators came up with a new nickname on the spot, as I went back to the waiting room while dragging the massive head with one hand and my katana on my shoulder.
I couldn't help but lament the fact that I couldn't claim the thing's energy crystal because the rules didn't allow It, all the energy crystals from slain monsters got claimed by the coliseum.
"Well I'm already filthy rich so It doesn't matter"
I muttered to myself as I passed the other fighters who opened up the way for me while looking at me with fanatism-filled eyes.
Once I exited the collusion I was met with the three money bags with grins from ear to ear plastered on their faces and huge leather bags full of energy crystals.
"Big lad I f*cking love you!"
Old Lu roared as he dropped his bag, wrapped his hands around me, and raised me Into the air only to quickly place me back on my feet.
"For f*cks sake what are you made of, I think my spine just cracked!"
Old Lu complained as he started massaging his screaming In pain back.
"Metal and flesh"
I said while shrugging my shoulders causing the other two men to start laughing their asses off.
"Enough of the bullshit lets go party already, I want a nice hot bath"
I declared as I started walking back to the l*la bunny because I was covered In bio matter from head to toe, I reeked even worse than a zombie.
"Cigars!"
"Alchohol!"
"S*x!"
The three In an already festive mood declared loudly as they followed after me.
...
Hope's awakening was abrupt as she felt a shocking surge of cold water around her.
With a startled gasp, she jumped up from the high-tech bathtub, her skin covered in goosebumps as she shivered from the icy water.
The sudden temperature change sent a jolt through her body, and she found herself disoriented and bewildered.
"F*ck what is wrong with that asshole?"
Hope complained only to catch her reflection Inside the bathroom mirror.
Her healthy pale skin was now perfect, her height had Increased to 180 centimeters which was a whopping 20 centimeters above average for her country's women.
Her muscles were now lean and taunt though they still were carefully hidden under her skin after all no average woman wanted to look like a gorilla.
Any unneeded fat was gone, but most importantly her curves had Increased to the point that her bra which had put up a relentless fight up to this point finally died.
Hold on, brother! Hold on!
The right button yelled to his left button brother as they held each other's clasped hands their arms bodybuilders muscles on full display with veins and arteries that were threatening to pop from the tension.
Tell, tell my wife I fought till my last breath.
The left button said accepting his fate as his hands started losing Its strength until finally, he could not hold on anymore.
NOOO BROTHER!
The right button yelled with tears In his eyes as he saw his smiling brother fly out Into the oblivion.
Sayonara...
With a loud pop, the bra fell off as It did Hope reacted with superhuman speed as she pressed her bra against her now D-cup-sized firm and full b*easts.
"Status"
Hope called out as she did a ble holographic window depicting her stats appeared.
"Holy cow 735 kilograms of bench press strength!"
The shocked Hope couldn't exclaim because the heaviest bench press ever recorded In her timeline was 612.5 kilograms, and the one who did It was male with the help of special equipment.
So a woman like her being able to bench press 735 kilograms was nuts because women had 40 percent less strength on average In their upper body.
"244 years of lifespan?!"
Once again Hope almost screamed In excitment.
"So by the time I'm 50 I'll look no older than 20 years old? That's f*cking dope!"
Once Hope finished checking her stats she was ready to exit, but just as she turned the corner she saw a bloody white eyeball placed on the sink's counter.
"What the f*ck?!"
Hope screamed as she jumped away in fright only to slowly pick up the eyeball and look at It.
"Not only this guy Is f*cking crazy but his also a perv"
Hope muttered with disgust as she had an Impulse to crush the eyeball but decided against It.
She placed the eyeball back and exited the bathroom with her hand pressed against her b*easts.
Immediately her clothes neatly arranged on the bed caught her attention, and she looked around the room.
But not seeing Dracula, she first threw out her torn bra, and after that started putting on her clothes.
"F*ck It's too f*cking tight"
Hope cursed as she gave It her all to pull up her jeans while at the same time being careful not to rip them apart.
"Urghhh... It's really too f*cking tight"
Hope complained once again as she picked up the eyeball after fully clothing herself and exited the room.
After spotting the stairs she climbed down only to be assaulted by loud music and scantly dressed women entertaining the patrons.
"Don't tell me I'm In a f*cking b*othel"
Hope muttered under her breath feeling her temples start pulsating madly.
Only for a shirtless middle-aged 2-meter-tall man with burly muscles covered in scars and no body hair.
Because the gene resequencing technology had eliminated those things after the scientists behind It deemed them unnecessary.
