Overlord: Ancient One

After clicking the Entry button for the World Championship, Arthur just found himself sitting in the middle of a Colosseum.

"Wow, this place is so lively." Arthur said as he looks around and sees lots of players, be it Humanoid, Demi-Human or Heteromorphic cheering and chatting with each other—giving a festival-like atmosphere.

The flag of YGGDRASILL—which looks like a giant tree with golden embroidery— is raised high in the eight cardinal directions of the Colosseum.

At the center of the Colosseum a blue screen in which {10:00} is written, indicating the time limit before the tournament starts.

And In my system interface a new option is also added with two giant sword crossings with each other.

In it, is a list that shows all the Nine Worlds. And above the choices, is a note that tells Arthur—That he can watch the tournament of other Worlds

At the corner of each choice, it shows a column of numbers that rapidly increases as the moment goes by, and it didn't take that long before each column had four digits already.

"So, Only around 74 thousand can join?"

Any person can tell that these numbers indicate the capacity of Players that can only join in a particular world.

It hasn't been a minute since these choices appeared but the world has nearly been full for the tournament to start.

In HELHEIM, there are five Colosseums, four of which are used for selection matches, with 2,048 participants in each Colosseum. The winners of each match from each stadium fight in the final Colosseum, and the victor of this match is given the Job class 'World Champion' and Arthur was in the North Colosseum.

[09:58]

As the players who joined the tournament came to the limit, the timer above finally started counting down. Indicating that after it hits zero, the Tournament will officially start.

A screen also appeared in front of Arthur. In it are the rules and information for the upcoming Tournament. The rules are not that long.

Arthur read the rules and information quickly. It didn't even take him a couple of seconds

Although he seemingly just skimmed through it all, Arthur had understood everything. The rules for each fight, how the Tournament is going to be, and what are the multiple conditions. It's the same as how he thought it would be. It's all within his expectations.

"Should I put my equipment on or not?" Even though Arthur has registered the equipment and item that he was going to use in battle, he doesn't equip them as he wanted to make a cool entry on the final.

"Friday, Does anyone in this tournament have the power to defeat me" He knows that it's unlikely that anyone has the power to defeat the current him.

[No sir, and It's the third time you asked the same question.] Friday replied, Hearing this Arthur replied with a serious voice.

"Always Remember this Friday, If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle."

[Yes, sir, I will keep in mind the advice you gave me that you, incidentally, stole from the third-rate novel you read online.]

[And I'd also like to mention that you're making progress towards becoming chuunibyou, and if you keep this up, you might be eligible for a deluxe room in a mental health facility.]

Hearing this Arthur was silent for a while.

".... Friday, Did I ever tell you that you are a pain in the ass and on the second note, I am not a hardcore chuunibyou. I may occasionally act as an evil lord and villain from time to time that's because this is a game, I don't play-act like Chuunibyou in real life, do I."

[Then sir, why is there a notebook in your drawer, whose title goes by 'Cool thing, which I must do' and another book named 'How to act like an Evil Genus'.]

"Stop it Friday, I concentrated on my upcoming matches and you are disturbing me." Seeing Friday bringing his dark history to the conversation, Arthur quickly changes the subject.

[Yes, Sir, but feel free to ask me for assistance if you need it with your chuunibyou acting. I can make you the highest-order chuunibyou in this society by giving you plenty of advice.] Even Arthur, who has a thick skin, couldn't help but feel embarrassed by Friday's emotionless tone, which was as serious as it could be.

"Please stop it Friday, Please don't embarrass me any further and the match is about to start. " Arthur said as he watched the timer approaching zero as the player in the Colosseum started counting as the number went down.

'For now, I guess only a sword is needed.' Arthur thought as he Equipped his weapon.

Fireworks SFX*

After the timer hit zero, a great number of Fireworks exploded in the sky from the corners of the Colosseum, which looks absolutely gorgeous, and Arthur Who was watching this vanished and appeared on a wide corridor, which leads to the arena.
