"Welcome Everyone! It is finally the second day of the Pandelympics! I hope that every one of you has rested well as the even this time is definitely something that will go on for two sessions. The first session is the morning schedule while the next one is in the afternoon.

The first battle will take place from 8:00 AM to 12:00 PM and the afternoon session would be from 1:30 PM to 5:30 PM. This event is definitely entertaining as on external factors would be able to decide the outcome of this match. This will purely be by the mastery and gaming sense by all of our contestants!" The announcer stated as the crowd seated in their respective seats.

"Wooh!" The crowd cheered as this is the thing that they want. They were a bit disappointed by the sudden elimination of multiple players during the first event, but it seems that it is meant as an appetizer for the main event.

"The Second Event is none other than King of the Hill! It is an event that will be similar to a game that is familiar with all of you and that is Capture the Flag! Let us view the rules of the event!" The announcer stated as the holographic projections showed the rules of the event.

------

King of the Hill

1.      All players in this event will not be able to access the inventory potions unless their job class uses certain items in the inventory. They must enter the necessary items that they need prior to the start of the event in order to get it verified.

2.      Each Team will be given an item called 'Flag' it is a shared item but only one team member can set it up at a time.

3.      A Flag can only be raised once and cannot be raised again as the location that one of your team members raise it will be final.

4.      A Flag that is raised will give buffs to the area where it is placed in a diameter of ten meters.

5.      Other teams will not be able to see where your flag is raised in the global map, but it will be revealed if your enemies are in the distance of the buffs that the flag gives your team.

6.      Each team can earn points by stealing the flag or protecting your flag from potential Flag Thieves.

7.      Stealing an enemy Flag and returning it to your own Flag Base will give your team one point.

8.      Each hour that your flag stands unhindered will earn you one point.

9.      Enemies that steal your flag will be visible to all your team members in the global map.

10.  The player that steals a flag will have their movement speed reduced by 5% and will not be able to use long range travel skills. Flight speed will be reduced by 20%.

11.  You can either kill the thief or retrieve the Flag from the thief.

12.  No points will be awarded for killing an enemy contestant.

13.  If the enemy player successfully delivers the flag to their Flag Base, the flag or flags stolen will return back to their respective bases.

14.  Players will not be able to store the Enemy Flag inside of their inventory.

15.  Players will be able to respawn if killed without any penalty for the first death. The second death will lower the player's stat by 1% and so will succeeding deaths with a maximum of 30%.

16.  The area of the resurrection will be where your team raised your flag. If no flag has been raised, then the players will be respawned where they first got sent.

17.  In the last 30 minutes of the first and second session, each stolen flag will earn your team two points.

18.  In the last 30 minutes of the first and second session, players will be unable to resurrect.

19.  In the last 30 minutes of the first and second session, movement restrictions will be released but long-range movement abilities are still blocked from being used.

20.  There is a secret NPC that can heal players and cleanse the restrictions, but you need to find it. It will not be in the same spot that you first encounter it. You need to trade something for it to heal you up and that is one flag.

21.  Players can carry up to five flags, but the restrictions will still apply for each flag.

22.  The use of pets and mounts are banned for this event.

The rules of King of the Hill are much more in-depth than the first event as there are many factors that needed to be considered. The map length for the second event is the same as that of the first event but it has more areas with different elemental affinities.

The area for King of the Hill has five distinct parts which are a mountainous area in the north where there are steep cliffs and ridges. An area with lots of water and islands in the eastern part of the map. A swampland in the western area of the map filled with numerous marshlands.

A desert area in the south where heat is scorching, and sand particles could obscure vision. The middle area that connects each of them is none other than a jungle area, but it is not vast or messy. The stage for the second event is even more breathtaking than the first one.

"Now that we have revealed the rules and every bit of detail! Players will you come and enter the game pods! Let us give them our appreciation!" The announcer stated as he gave the go signal for the players to enter the arena once more.

"Wooh!" The crowd cheered as the players wave back at the crowd that is currently watching them. Some looked confident while some are looking for redemption from their previous blunders. This time they will no longer be taken out by a disaster that they could not easily avoid.. Their faces all told the statement 'The Real Fight starts now!".
