~~~(POV: Hailey Adamo)~~~

~~~(Location: The City Of Jaerey, The Kingdom Of Laasir, The Islands Of Haestar)~~~

~~~(Time: 9:45 AM)~~~

We're making our way toward the Arena, and there is something that's on my mind. Mainly being how far I'll get through the tournament. It's been confirmed the tournament will be held using the true power combat for the 1v1s.

This is where it's every man and woman for himself, and everyone I'm with right now knows that. I'm guessing the winners of the tournament get to be the first to take on specific areas of The Ruins Of Tasdir. That's the whole reason we're having the tournament.

So the strongest out of the people who won their tryouts can rise even higher. I have no doubt I'll make it to the final four. There are 3 people in Jaerey with Legendary Grade Classes. Marcus and I are the keepers of 2. The third belongs to Plutonium.

That means that the fourth spot is up for grabs. But that's only one dynamic. If Marcus and I match up before the finals, then one of us has to go. Same with Plutonium.

It's not guaranteed we'll get to the final four together. Anything can happen. But that would be a nice thing to go through. To fight my brother in the finals. To see who really is the strongest when going all out against each other.

We make it to the Arena and find some really good seats. The same people who announced before the tryouts started are back in the center of the Arena.

After sitting down, I lean back and relax. They start talking, but I drown everything out and sink back into my mind. The tournament isn't on my mind right now. It's actually The Ruins Of Tasdir themselves. I've been looking into them.

Marcus isn't the only one that like Lore and Books. I've come to see their benefits. In a world without advanced technology, it's necessary to read. I don't have a device that instantly tells me the answers when I use a search engine.

What I've learned about The Ruins Of Tasdir has me thinking this event will be far more difficult than anyone knows. I've recently found out that Ruins are in an entire category of their own. There are Dungeons, Raids, and now I've learned about Ruins.

They're supposed to be even harder than Raids. The Ruins Of Tasdir are Legendary Grade. I don't even think Cera would have a good shot on his own.

That's the difference between Ruins and the other things Players do on the regular. Speaking of my other brother, I haven't spoken to him in a few days. He's probably asleep at the moment. That, or he's busy with Sally.

Cera might have some useful information about The Ruins Of Tasdir. Something I can get an advantage on. If anyone would know something, it's him. He has memories of the future, and I don't see the harm in seeking answers from him.

I open my Player Interface and head to my Friend's List. Clicking on my brother's name and opening our messages. The men are still talking and announcing things in the middle of the Arena. Nothing significant enough for me to listen.

[I know you're probably asleep, but I wanted to see if you knew anything about The Ruins Of Tasdir that other Players wouldn't know. Since you have memories of the future, I thought you might have some useful information.]

The message is sent, and I'm hoping to get a reply back before the tournament actually starts. A few minutes pass by, and I get a message back from Cera.

[I know some things that aren't known to the rest of the Players. For example, there are three Legendary Classes that can be found within The Ruins Of Tasdir. I know how to reach two of them, but the third remains a mystery to me.]

My eyes slowly widen as I read his response. There are three Legendary Classes in The Ruins Of Tasdir... That's a lot of power sitting in one place. Well, the place is a Legendary Grade Ruins, so it makes sense great power is there.

But I had no idea that such treasures could be found in the place. I'm unsure of what to say. I want to ask him how to find them. It could be a great addition for Rianna. And if Kelly wants one, she can have a shot at one too.

[Would you mind telling me where I can find them in The Ruins Of Tasdir?]

I know I'm asking a lot here, but that doesn't mean I'll get a no from him. It takes a few minutes, but he gets back to me. What I read really surprises me.

[If you want, Sally and I can meet you guys at The Ruins Of Tasdir. I've gained a new Skill that allows me to teleport to any part of Gaia. We can help you with what you're doing and be back here after we're done.]

It would be nice to see Cera after a reasonable amount of time apart. I'm jealous that he's got such a convenient new Skill. I can't even believe how useful teleportation anywhere around Gaia would actually be.

[That would be great. Let me know when you're about to teleport. That way, Marcus and I can be ready to explain things going on here to you.]

As I send the message, my attention falls back on the Arena. The men down there make their way for the exits, and General Daenal Roane is waiting in his viewing box already.

"The tournament is starting."

Kelly voices her observation as a system notification pops up for everyone here. The system is handling it the same way it did for the tryouts. However, there is a bracket people can view this time. The people who won in the 2v2s are already up an entire level.

Waiting for the winners of the first matches. That means we'll be waiting here for a long time, possibly until even tomorrow. But that also gives us a chance to see Player's true power. After all, we've been fighting in leveled-out combat since the tryouts.

~~~(POV: Cera Adamo)~~~

~~~(Location: The Underground City Of Maero, Desert, The Continent Of Alforza)~~~

~~~(Time: 10:15 PM)~~~

Sally and I are enjoying our dinner, and I can see that she's thinking about something. We already talked about helping out Hailey and Marcus, so I doubt it's about that. The only thing it could be is The Regaliance Kingdom.

"What's on your mind."

The sound of my voice doesn't leave room for any doubts if it's a question or not. It's really a demand. I know how Sally gets when Slavery is involved, and I just want to make sure she's okay.

She's much stronger than she was when we met, and she's become even better since traveling with me. But I know there are some things that haunt her. Just a little.

"I was just thinking about how the attack on The Regaliance Kingdom will go. The Des'merta have a great plan, but I can't help thinking that it's going to backfire. Using Rahab to destroy the capital of The Regaliance Kingdom will have dire consequences."

It's nice to know that she's also been thinking about The Last Levithan. The mighty beast has been on my mind, and even with all my power. I doubt I could defeat the creature.

"You're thinking about the right things. There are certain lines you don't want to cross, and using a Divine level creature to destroy your enemies can have ripples in your people that last for centuries. It's a sad thing that the Des'merta are so desperate."

This wouldn't be happening if the Des'merta had some real power on their side. Sure, I could probably do it myself. But as I said in the meeting, that would only make things worse. Getting away from this situation for a while seems like a good idea.

Visiting Hailey and Marcus to help them seems like the best thing for that.
