Hour Before The Beginning of the Tournament.

''Argh.'' Lucius painfully stood up from his bed. His hands were bandaged, and his torso had a visible bruise mark.

This morning he suddenly woke up from the debris of the building, and his whole body was in agony.

The only way he can currently move is with the help of painkillers, and even they have limits.

He didn't know how he got attacked, and no one seemed to care, not even Rijun, even though he is his fighter.

''What the hell happened...'' Lucius murmured with agony.

*Knock* *Knock*

A knocking came from the door, and it was instantly opened.

A middle-aged man with two beautiful women came with a suitcase ready. Lucius knew that it was time to get ready for the tournament.

That made him grimace. His chances of survival became very minimal.

The two beautiful women started stripping Lucius while he took another dose of painkillers, but the effect was becoming very low.

''Tournament will start in an hour. There will be announcement coming 5 minutes before that, please don't miss the announcement.'' The middle-aged man said with his stoic voice.

Lucius raised an eyebrow, ''Why aren't you guys showing us the way this time?''

The middle-aged man didn't answer; instead, he waited for the two beautiful women to finish.

Soon, they did and left the room with the middle-aged man.

''Weird...'' Lucius murmured. He sat down on the bed, but that alone made him grimace in pain.

''If I find out who did this to me... You will suffer!''

...

''Ugh!'' Darc stood up from his bed with a massive headache, ''Fuck...''

He groggily looked around the room and saw him being in his room. He was completely naked, with his athletic figure completely visible.

''I really should stop drinking...'' Darc yawned and was about to lie on the bed, but then a knocking sound came from the door.

*Knock* *Knock*

The door opened, and a middle-aged man with two beautiful women entered.

''It's time already?'' Darc stood up and put his hands wide open, ''Dress me up, ladies!''

The two beautiful women rolled their eyes, but they did their job and started dressing him up.

''Tournament will start in an hour. There will be announcement coming 5 minutes before that, please don't miss the announcement.''The middle-aged man said with his stoic voice.

''Sure, sure,'' Darc replied.

Soon, the two beautiful women were done; they instantly left with the middle-aged man.

Darc yawned and planned to take a small nap, but then he saw a beer can lying on the ground.

''Hmm...'' Darc grabbed it and opened it, ''One won't hurt.''

...

Erik was looking at the mirror in front of him. It showed his usual short brown hair and nervous look on his average face.

''You can do it...'' Erik closed his eyes and took deep breaths, ''You have to win...''

Slowly his nervousness disappeared, and calmness replaced his entire demeanor.

Soon, a knocking sound came from the door.

*Knock* *Knock*

The door opened, and a middle-aged man entered with two beautiful women.

Erik stood still and let them undress him. He didn't make a sound; he didn't even bat an eye.

The middle-aged man looked surprised, 'Wasn't this young man the nervous one... He seems a completely different person.'

Soon, the beautiful women had finished, which caused the middle-aged man woke up from his stupor.

''Tournament will start in an hour. There will be announcement coming 5 minutes before that, please don't miss the announcement.'' The middle-aged man said with his stoic voice.

Erik nodded and watched as they left his room.

''I can do this...''

...

Yumi was sitting on her bed without moving a muscle. She had a cold look on her beautiful face.

Soon, knocking sound echoed in her room

*Knock* *Knock*

Three beautiful women entered, with one of them looking more serious type. The serious type stopped in the door while two other women started walking towards Yumi.

Yumi stood up and let them undress her. She didn't change her facial expression even the slightest, and soon the two beautiful women were done.

''Tournament will start in an hour. There will be announcement coming 5 minutes before that, please don't miss the announcement.'' The serious woman said with her cold tone.

Yumi didn't nod or speak. She only watched as they left her room.

She took a glance at the mirror, which showed her beautiful face and athletic figure, which is rarely seen on a young woman like her, but it didn't diminish her beauty, only increased it.

She sat on her bed and clenched her fists, 'I have to win... To get my old life back!'

...

Kira was reading a book while waiting for the tournament to start. She didn't seem nervous about this tournament, instead very relaxed, which is a rare trait seen in the fighters in this tournament.

Her life could end in an hour, but she seemed relaxed, like she was going to a picnic.

Kira's ears perked up, and a small smile appeared on her lovely face.

''Finally.'' She closed the book and put it down on the bed.

She waited until a knocking sound came from the door.

*Knock* *Knock*

Kira quickly stood up and watched as the door was opened.

Three beautiful women entered. One of them again stayed at the door while the remaining two walked towards Kira.

Kira put her arms wide open, which made it easier for the two beautiful women to undress her.

Her abs looked perfectly balanced, and coupled with her petite figure, she truly looked lovely, especially if counting her face, which is the very definition of a lovely young woman in her prime.

The three beautiful women felt slightly jealous of her youth, but they did their job and soon finished.

''Tournament will start in an hour. There will be announcement coming 5 minutes before that, please don't miss the announcement.'' One of the beautiful women said and left the room.

The two beautiful women followed behind her and closed the door.

Kira looked at the mirror and saw her wearing sport bras and pink-colored shorts, which made her look even more lovely, but no one would underestimate her.

She is a Gold-Ranked fighter, after all!
