Chapter 1:The Steel Throne

"Welcome to the Steel Throne!!!" A hoarse voice heard in the entire land.

"Groaaarrr..." A huge orc shouted. It ran into the forest ahead. Two big sharp teeth showed from his lower jaw. A huge bronze ring made the orc face even mightier. The green skins were covered with thick metal armors.

His muscled left hand swiped the huge grass in front of him, while he prepared a large axe in his right hand. The orc looked in a direction, his nose moved as if he smelled something other than the smell of forest and grass.

Suddenly, his eyes looked into the deepest forest. The orc ran between the tall tree. His deep footprint marked the area while he entered the deep forest.

In a distance, a creature was eating some grass. Its body was like a horse, but more muscular. A large white horn was on top of the creature's head. The color is purple showed a stark contrast with the greenish color of the forest. It looked to the distance, a big green orc was charging into the creature's direction.

"Dieee!!!" The orc slashed his large axe into the unicorn-like beast. The beast countered by sending a lighting spark into the orc. However, the orc is quick. The orc blocked with his other hand, which was covered with a thick arm guard.

The orc and unicorn traded several attacks. A charge by the unicorn was avoided by a roll from the agile orc. It was far different from the orc's 3-meter height.

"AXE BOOMERANG!!!" The bass voice of the orc heard. The orc shouted before he spun his axe. The orc threw the axe into the unicorn.

"Hiii!!!!" The unicorn neighed. Its breathed its last breath.

The orc grabbed a dropped crystal.

"Power Rune Obtained!"

The orc heard a female voice in his head. He looked in another direction and continued to hunt more beasts.

After he defeated a group of flying eagles, the orc found a family of the brown big bear. It launched an attack on the weakest big bear. When suddenly, he heard a neigh.

"HEEEE!!!" A 2-meter-tall horse with a knight in a black armor on top of it appeared.

It charged into the orc. The knight prepared his lance. His light and cold voice was heard. "Spear Shadow!!!"

The horse and the knight turned into a shadow and passed the orc.

The green orc tried to dodge, but it was too late. A charge from the knight made him lost orientation.

"Triple Shot!" A beautiful light voice of a female was heard. A white skin and golden-haired female elf appeared on top of the tree. She had a crossbow aimed at the orc.

A blinding light appeared before it split into 3 light arrows. Each charging in the orc direction. The orc was still confused by the black knight charged. It couldn't avoid the triple hit.

"GROOOAAA!!!" The orc screamed, but what appeared next seal his fate.

An old man with long bread and blue long robe full of rune finished his incantations. Some runic crystals appeared around the old man before giving the mana power to the old man.

"Heaven Burning Hellfire!!!" The old voice shouted.

A huge spell circle started to appear below the Orc. The orc started to shake his head, it tried to remove the confusion from the knight charge. A look full of surprises was seen.

The orc looked into the red land below him. He couldn't avoid it.

A fire pillar appeared from below.

"GOOOOOAAAAHAH!!!" It was very hot. Another shot from the elf also delayed the orc movement.

"WONDERFFFuuuuullLLLLLLL!!!"

"Magnificent movement from the V-Light Team. They are the favorite to win this battle."

"Oh Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! The Shining Elf continued to stun the orc. This is the END. The END. Grizzle Orc from P-Tigre Team couldn't run from the channeling attack of Merlin the Wiz."

"Where the fuck his teammates? Where is the help from the P-Tigre? Do they want to let NoobKid23D being defeated this way?"

"Wait! This is the PUEEERFECT strategy! While Merlin the Wiz, Shining Elf, and Shadow Knight attacked the Grizzle Orc. 2 of their teammates stalled the helpers."

"Grizzle Orc is the damage dealer of P-Tigre. Without him, it would be very dangerous... Very dangerous."

"FUCK!!!! You saw that? You saw that? The orc died and both teams regrouped. It was too late for P-Tigre. Wait!!! It is not over."

"The V-Light Team continued to attack. They breached the last tower from the left lane."

"The P-Tigre was FUCKED! FUCKED! FUCKED VERY HARD!!!!!"

"Another hero defeated!! Two!!! Three!!! OH GOD! What is those Tigre doing? The score is 30-36 for V-Light now. It is the critical time in the end and the Tigre loses the tempo. Their damage dealer, Grizzle Orc still needed 1 minutes to return. There will be many things happened to the game during this 1 minute."

"AS EXPECTED!!! The V-Light members continue to use this chance to destroy the last tower. AND BOOOM!!!!! They did it! They did it!"

"The Tigre is totally FUCKED FUCKED FUCKED by the V-Light. It won't take long. It won't take long. The last 2 members of the Tigre tried to defend, but... They FAIL! BIG FAIL!!!"

"Shit! That is a BIG FAIL. Congratulations for V-Light to win the first round of the tournament! The ambush of Grizzle Orc is very important. Without their main damage dealer, P-Tigre is like a Tiger without Fang. I really want their manager to knock some ideas to the lost lamb. He should make an important strategic decision for the team in the second round."

The streamer continued to broadcast his stream. While cursing the losing team, he also praised the brilliant middle-game tactic of the winners.

"Let us talk about our second team tactic." The manager of P-Tigre said. He looked into 5 players in the squad.

"Rodrigo, you should be faster when our members are under attack."

"Rehaan, you are too slow. You should use your warp to avoid the encirclement."

"Matteo, you keep building your character aggressively in the second round."

"Andi, you will support Rehaan during the second match. Use Fairy Angel in the second round. We will ask them to ban Shadow Knight during the second round."

"And... You... Wait! What happened, Jason?" The manager voiced changed into a voice full of dread.

Jason was the player who played Grizzle Orc. He seemed unfocused and confused.

"Did the Hellfire hurt his psyche?" Rodrigo asked.

"No way! After the regulation to reduce the effect of the neural connection between the player and the game from the government. The Steel Throne had limited the sensory effect." Andi said.

"Jason. Are you ok?"

Jason tried to look to his manager, but he suddenly felt blank. He couldn't feel anything.

Jason didn't know how long he was unconscious. However, when he opened his eyes, he saw a ball of fluffy white fur appeared before his vision.

"Nice to meet you, Jason!"

"Or should I say... Nice to meet you again Red Everflame?" Master Rabbink appeared.
