Nameless King

Wain didn't know what he would do until the other contenders were chosen, so he decided to go to the special store.

He thought about it, and a special door appeared in front of him with a picture of a clock on it. Wain stepped forward and found himself in a strange space that looked like a museum with a starry sky.

There were various items on the stands, and each one had a sign that said the number of minutes needed. The minimum price was 1000, the maximum 1000.000.

However, the number of items was limited, there were only nine. One item cost 1,000, the second 5,000, the third 10,000, the fourth 50,000, the fifth 100,000, the sixth 250,000, the seventh 500,000, the eighth 750,000 and the last a million.

In fact, the prices were symbolic since the bidders didn't need any more minutes. Also, each bidder could only buy one item.

The prices were there only so that the bidders could choose what they wanted, but it was evident that the first bidder had already taken the best.

Wain approached the last booth, the price of which was a million minutes, and frowned. It was empty, and even considering he had a million minutes too, he couldn't spend them all.

"Damn, I'm regretting more and more that I wasn't faster. Maybe if I'd headed north right away, I'd have killed the wyverns faster than the first challenger, the rat. Okay, let's see what number two is supposed to get."

At the nearest stand was a small gray stone with a black and white seal on it. Wain put his hand to the stand, and 500,000 minutes disappeared from his palm. The time on the timer was no longer running, so even if Wain had one second left, he would still be safe.

Crackle.

The case glass shattered, and Wain took the stone in his hands.

[Seal of Dark Light (First Chronicle, Ascendant Rating)

This seal combines two incompatible forces, light, and dark. It is unknown how and where this seal was created, but that is of little importance. All that matters is the power of this seal capable of striking anyone.

*When used on the ground, it creates a large-scale black and white flame seal around the edges. It is impossible to escape from it, neither the seal's owner nor his enemies. There must be one person left in the center of the area for the seal to disappear.

In this area, everyone's attack power increases by 300% and defense decreases by 500%].

'What the...? Do I look like a suicide? This seal is too dangerous to use. Considering how much the attack increases and defense decreases, any attack could result in death...'

He thought about how to use the thing and moved the stone to the Ring of Damned. He left the store and returned to his cloud.

Wain wasn't going to participate in any further battles on the island. He didn't see the point. Wain could have fought the remaining two of the four kings, but it was too dangerous. He didn't know what would happen if he decided to return to the island. Would the barrier save him again?

Fierce fighting continued on the island. However, west and north were now quite empty. The main monsters there had been defeated, and the people had moved elsewhere.

'I wonder if anyone from Last Light could be one of the contenders.' Wain wondered.

He knew that Gisle, Zero, Agnes, Teresa, and the others were pretty strong, but it wasn't enough to defeat one of the four kings.

Wain wasn't sure if all four beasts were equal in strength or if there was any gradation among them, but their strength was enormous either way.

Wain decided to lie down on his cloud from resting. He looked up and frowned. Something was blocking his view, and it was the cloud with the number 'I'.

'I see, so that's why I didn't see the first challenger around me. He was taller...' Wain thought and wanted to see who got here before him.

Whoooooosh.

As if at his call, the cloud slowly began to rise to the top. Wain stood up, and a platinum sword appeared in his hand. He didn't know if he could fight in this area, but he had to be ready for anything.

When his cloud rose high enough, he suddenly felt the familiar aura again. It was like the energy of the world.

A girl of medium height stood the first cloud, wearing white and scarlet armor with crimson hair and blue eyes.

She was the one who had caused the spatial barrier around the planet earlier to weaken and the monster invasion to begin. She was the one the world chose. She was the one who possessed the soul of the Hero of the World.

The girl turned around. She was smiling pleasantly and had a kind and good aura emanating from her, but when she saw what was in front of her, the smile vanished from her face.

"It's you..." Mumbled the girl.

"I? Hmm? What are you talking about?" Wain was puzzled.

He didn't expect the first contender to be a human. That meant that the one who created the death ray and killed the black rat was this girl. Wain assumed that one of the Pillars had done it, but it turned out to be one of the people.

"You... This all happened because of you!" The girl exclaimed, and her aura multiplied.

She no longer looked like a kind, sweet girl, but more like a cold-blooded reaper with ruthless eyes. She reached forward, and a sword of light energy appeared beside her.

Wain grew wary. He didn't know why she suddenly reacted this way to his appearance, even though she had been smiling a few seconds before.

Whooooooosh.

The girl swung her arm intending to hook Wain, but the barrier that appeared between them prevented her from doing so. The sword stuck in the air, and she couldn't move.

"Why are you attacking me? Who the hell are you?"

"I am Maria Pasquier, the one who lost everything because of you!"

"What? This is the first time I've seen you!"

"Me too, but it doesn't matter because you're the one who started the damn apocalypse!"
