Chapter 790 - More Than Just a Game
The match didn't last long. This time, Leon managed to defeat his opponent in under a minute—an even shorter time than when he faced his previous opponent, the Pride Champion.
With this victory, Leon secured his place as the group champion, guaranteeing his spot in the finals. Now, only four contestants remained: Broken, Frostedge, Elincia, and one more contestant.
If only Livelywood had been placed in a different bracket from Elincia, he might have had a chance to become a group champion as well. That would have meant even more players from the Vensalor Guild making it to the finals. Still, having two out of the four finalists as members of Vensalor Guild was already an incredible achievement. Your journey continues with My Virtual Library Empire
In truth, many members of Vensalor Guild had risen through the competition with impressive victories. Even though they weren't officially representing the guild, most people still recognized them by their in-game identities.
Beyond that, there were other factors shaping the competition in this first official event. For one, not all of Immortal Legacy's top players had participated. Many powerful players—both well-known and those who had chosen not to register on the leaderboards—had yet to make an appearance.
Since this was only the first official event, the number of participants would likely grow in the coming years, making future competitions even more intense. That was an exciting prospect.
Even now, how many Divine Champions had Leon encountered? He had lost count. This was the first time he had ever faced so many Divine Champions in a single competition—far more than he had ever met in the game itself.
With that...
Leon would be facing Elincia in the semifinals in just three days. And he was genuinely excited for this match. Not because he was desperate to win or anything like that, but because standing on the same stage in an official tournament, facing off against someone he personally knew in the game, sounded like an incredibly fun experience.
In fact, Leon actually wanted to compete against his own companions or guild members in other events, like the Raid Race or even a team battle. That would be thrilling—probably even more exciting than this entire tournament.
At the very least, the finals were shaping up to be something extraordinary, especially for Leon. Not only would he be facing Elincia, but there was also a strong chance he would go up against Frostedge in the final match! And because of that, Leon had no intention of holding back against Elincia. He would secure his spot in the final—because, yes, he was certain Han Feng, or Frostedge, would also keep his promise.
This official final would be something truly special. It would bring Leon an incredible sense of excitement, especially since Frostedge was an opponent he had been looking forward to facing. After all, in their first sparring match, Frostedge should have won—if only he hadn't logged out of the system.
And for the first time, Leon finally met the person behind Forev—the last member completing the trio of RememberMe, PussyCat, and Forev. It turned out that Forev was actually PussyCat's personal assistant, which explained why she was always seen close to the wealthy CEO's daughter, ensuring that all her needs were met and taken care of.
Some time later, more people started joining the gathering. This time, it was Lucy—yes, Uncle Ben's fiancée. She arrived with several of her companions from the guild, all of whom had now migrated to Slumdon Town.
Unfortunately, Uncle Ben wasn't able to make it that night, which Leon found a little disappointing. He had wanted to share this moment with him. Maybe he would just arrange a private get-together later, as he always did, with Lily and their uncle.
As more people arrived, Leon found himself meeting faces he still wasn't quite used to seeing in the real world. Livelywood, for example, looked incredibly refined and polished—like a young, wealthy aristocrat. Then there was Trison, who was infamous in the game for being a heavy drinker, but in reality, he was just an ordinary college student working his way through university.
Soon, the large table was completely filled, and the room buzzed with lively conversations. Surprisingly, despite the overwhelming number of people, Leon felt completely at ease among these remarkable individuals.
Then, all at once, everyone raised their glasses and turned toward him.
Leon chuckled, lifting his own glass. "Thanks for this incredible gathering. I hope we can keep this going for a long time—next year, and for many more years to come."
Toss!
"All hail King Broken! All hail Vensalor Guild."
Laughter erupted across the room, filling the space with warmth and energy.
Just how...
Just how had everything changed so drastically for Leon?
In less than a year, his life had transformed completely. From someone who had struggled just to get by, he was now surrounded by these incredible people—becoming part of their world, belonging among them, and, more than anything, becoming someone who mattered.
