MONSTER MMORPG: Mayhem Online

The unexpected speech by Shura had given a huge boost to the overall excitement of the audience gathered at the Quintster garden.

Not to mention that the staff and employees of Kibea were overjoyed with such a turn of events.

The MIT was getting live streamed at various channels and forums, and Shura's appearance and unexpected speech had caused a huge uproar in social media and the whole internet.

The Shura Fanclub, an online club that had been pretty dead for the past few weeks, was suddenly glitching due to the innumerable amount of new members joining the club.

The chats were going haywire with everyone having their own questions and answers about the first legendary class player.

[YourMomIsMyBae: Did you all just see that? Shura's face reveal is finally here!

PerryTheAmoogus: Of course, do you think we are blind?

FlirtyMaleficent: Fuck! He's so handsome! So fucking handsome!

DoraTheBlind: Yes! OMG! Even his voice is so sexy! I want him to call me a dirty slut!

PowerGayngers: And he's so relatable! When he talked, it felt like it was one of  my close friends talking to me…

LordOfTheDrinks: Ikr! Ngl, I thought dude was an absolute jerk and egoist before today, just because of him hiding himself for so long.

MyPPisSmol: Fuck, I can't calm myself down. This just might be one of the biggest reveals of the century.

I'mJealousNigga: But did you see all those girls fanboying? I don't like him at all. He might steal your girlfriend if you're not careful.

PoisonInMyAss: Haha! That's so true though. He's like a total chick magnet!

SirCumsALitttle: I know what he is! Automatic Panty Dropper! That's what he is!

BigFanSir: Hahaha! That's such a good name lmao. I am gonna call him that from now on.

ChicksOnMyD: Me too, lmaooo. Automatic Panty Dropper!]

And so, the endless cycle of chats kept on going and Shura gained a new nickname that would be known throughout the world.

'Phew, that was intense.'

I didn't realise that Kibea would actually broadcast me specially, so I did them a favour just to reap the profits later on.

The stares of everyone and people shouting my game name had finally succeeded in giving me some anxiety.

"Woah! We have Shura here."

"Look, look, I see him."

"Damn, dude's fine as fuck."

The other players in the silver and bronze area were trying hard to catch a glimpse of me. The top players in the gold, platinum and diamond groups were also looking my way, but their dignity as top players made them quietly just stare at me.

"Hey! Shura!"

I suddenly heard someone calling me, and saw Elexis a certain distance away from me on one of the platinum platforms.

"Yo!"

I waved my hand and she smiled sweetly before looking at the direction of the host.

'She looks a bit different.'

She looked more girl-ish in reality. Her game character looked very fierce and hard to approach.

"All the best."

The person beside me said.

The person I've been hard to ignore.

'This smiling son of a gun.'

I couldn't help but curse inwardly as I smiled on the outside and said.

"Good luck to you too."

"That's very kind of you."

The guy beside me was none other than Able, someone who the general people have labelled as my rival just because he also  had a legendary class.

'This goddamn Kibea.'

I suddenly felt like I shouldn't have done what I just did to help the Kibea Corp out. I am sure they placed us together on purpose.

[Ahem! Alright everyone. I'll now announce the game and the rules of the game.]

The host began, and everyone including the audience and players calmed down and focused on what he was saying.

[As I told you all before, the first event is a Freestyle Dungeon Raid. Now, most of you must be wondering what a freestyle dungeon raid is. Well, it's nothing different from an actual raid, just the twist is that all the players will start from level 0 here. The same will be applied to all the future games.

The freestyle means there won't be any restrictions to you guys to wear equipment and wield weapons outside of your class, allowing you a greater amount of flexibility and burden, depending on your thinking process.

But beware, if you pick a weapon that isn't really useful to you, you might end up dragging yourself down instead of climbing up. Of course, if you don't have a choice then having any weapon or equipment is better than having none.

The raid's format will be a knockout battle royal. All of the seven thousand here will be dropped on a special dungeon map on random locations, and you have to kill monsters, find rare items and runes, and most importantly, collect Dungeon Points.

Every monster you slay or every item you find will give you a certain number of Dungeon Points.

There are no restrictions as to how you play. You can PK players or you can team up with others inside the map, all depending on your calculative and opportunity grabbing qualities.

The event will end after 24 hours of game time, that is 6 hours in the real world. Everything will be broadcasted live right here, and our audiences will experience a real time conversion thanks to Kibea Company's latest video  broadcasting method.

Remember, only your levels, stats and items will be resetted, and your class, job, race and titles will still be in effect.

The top thousand people with the most dungeon points will proceed further into the competition, and the top 10 of this event will receive one random in-game reward.

With that said, I wish you all good luck. Happy Gaming!]

Sam, the host concluded explaining the tournament, and multiple holographic screens formed all over the stadium, written on the was the same thing that the host had just explained.

[Players, you may all enter the VR Capsule provided to you.]

The host announced and one by one, thousands of players entered their VR Capsules. The sight of it all was a spectacle to behold in itself.

As soon as all the players laid down inside the capsules, clicking sounds rang out as the capsules shut close, leaving behind a cool gas out for a few seconds.

Flynn stared at the familiar yet unfamiliar interface in front of him. There was nothing else apart from Mayhem inside the VR. And even after clicking on Mayhem, the familiar fanfare didn't come, instead the scanners were turned on and he was automatically logged in as 'Shura'.

Then a brand new logo of Mayhem showed up, with a font made out of Lava.

[Mayhem International Tournament]

An eerie championship music started playing as Shura was stuck on the logo screen.

[Initiating transfer in, 3, 2, 1.....]

—-Blip.

A blip sound rang out, and everything turned dark. Then slowly, a light music started playing as Shura's vision slowly started recovering. In front of him was a large gate, and he was standing on a grassfield looking at the gate's direction.

Around him, thousands of players were getting teleported to this location.

[Welcome players, to the Selvan Dungeon.]

A system notification came in front of all the players that had come in front of the dungeon's gate.

[The event will start as soon as the first person steps foot inside the dungeon.]

[All your levels have been reset temporarily.]

[All your items have been locked temporarily.]

[All your level-up stats have been locked temporarily.]

[Find weapons, defeat monsters and discover new locations to get dungeon points! The dungeon points will be permanently stored and will be converted into an equivalent currency when the event ends.]

Shura looked at the notifications popping in front of him and was amazed. He felt as weak as a chicken.

'I'm sure the others are feeling like ants.'

Thanks to all the stats that he had gained from titles and such, he wasn't completely hopeless. But he was definitely weak due to all the restrictions and locks that his stats and levels had.

[The max level allowed inside the dungeon is 15. You'll stop gaining experience after levelling up to level 15, and will only receive dungeon points.]

[The experience gained inside the dungeon is very slow.]

'Knew it.'

This was probably to lessen the gap between classes, races and other such things. The higher the levels got, the more difficult it was for someone weaker than the other to catch up to them.

Hence, making 15 levels as max will give a fighting chance to all of the participants.

[The event has begun. Time remaining until the event is over: 23:59:58.]

And of course, some people weren't going to let other people get any leads and that's why, someone had already entered the dungeon without giving others a chance to properly learn about the event.

After one guy entered, the others followed in. Turned out that the dungeon gate was a warp gate, making anyone enter through it drop at different locations.

Of course, Shura didn't wait around either and rushed towards the gate.

"Look, Shura…"

"Damn, his character looks dope."

Shura could hear some people admiring his monstrous looks, making him secretly proud, but he didn't have the time to thank them, so he just entered the warp gate in a rush.

[Welcome to Selvan Dungeon, Deadly Deer's Playground.]

And the place that Shura ended up at looked like a lively and lush grassland, beautiful enough to be called a picnic spot.

Shura looked around to check if there were any monsters nearby, and finding that only other players were teleporting, he immediately started running towards the forest that he could see a bit ahead.

"I need to find weapons before anything."
