Chapter 18: The First Bloody Battle
When Kai felt grounds beneath his feet, he had to blink away the whiteness still lingering in his eyes.
Before he could see, the cacophony bombarded his ears, though.
He was in a Grand Hall with a domed roof, echoing, blurring the noise. There were at least a hundred more Contestants around Kai, all wearing a red martial arts uniform lined with blue at the seams.
He looked down and saw the same uniform on him.
Kai put his hands inside the pockets of his loose pants, eying a few girls who would just lay out all the information about their Initiation Mission without having him asking for it.
Suddenly, his entire body shuddered, the tips of his right hand’s fingers touching cold metal.
As if time had slowed down, Kai took it out, his eyes wide in disbelief.
The Iron Coin!
How... Kai couldn’t believe it. He had arrived to the White Room buck naked. Then he came here, wearing fresh uniform. The coin wasn’t in his Inventory, either. For it to appear in his pocket, just made it one of the most mysterious things Kai had experienced after his resurrection.
"Here!"
A powerful voice thundered in Kai’s ears. He looked straight ahead, and in the distance, found the silhouette of an armored knight standing right outside the main arched door.
