The Artificial God

Gladiator Participants Schedule

The night before the real fight starts in the morning. I dreamed of meeting the little boy again in the same place. Room whose existence is no stranger and looks modern than in my time. He always sat and read a stack of books in the darkness of his room that only used a small lamp to help his eyesight.

After that he immediately approached me who was on his soft mattress. It feels very comfortable and also very sad. Two mixed feelings that made my mind feel a little dizzy.

"Yet you call me again." said I who was ready to listen to what he wanted to tell me.

"Stop looking pathetic." said the boy who made me fall silent and contemplate his words.

Because what he said was true. My look always looks sad in front of others, whether people I like, my friends, my friends, people I know or people I don't know. I always come up with a sad face.

"Then what should I do, after all.fate has made me the most miserable person.." I said, bowing my head in front of a child.

"Don't I tell you not to look pathetic!" shouted the boy who was suddenly angry at me.

I was stunned and could only lower my gaze to her, "So what is..."

"Stop crying and look pathetic! don't let anyone know how pathetic you are!. You have to look strong and smile in front of everyone!. It was as if everything that had ever happened had never happened!" said the boy who again surprised me.

I pondered his words for a moment, "You are right. All this time, I kept crying to show my remorse to those who were gone. Even though I knew that crying would not bring them back to life, it would not bring back those good times.

I can stop crying and lament my sadness like a loser. But I prefer to cry and burden all those feelings of guilt on myself. I still have those who are alive today and are always by my side.

But I forget them and think only of those who are gone. Your words made me realize that feeling guilty doesn't have to cry and look pathetic. But I have to get out of the past and face the future that awaits me" I said, smiling broadly and eliminating the sad atmosphere from now on.

"You have to look like that, just don't make a sad expression" said the boy whose anger was beginning to subside and looked relieved.

"Thank you for reminding me. I promise I won't cry anymore." said I, who finally closed our meeting and returned to this world.

As soon as I woke up from the dream, it turned out that the sun had shone on the earth with its eternal light through the cracks of the bedroom window. I got out of my bed and opened the window and saw the beautiful atmosphere in the morning.

Seeing that everyone has started working and passing by. Kids who are interested in chasing, people who are in love, and much more. Then I went out of the room and down the stairs to prepare food for my friends who seemed to still be sound asleep.

"As soon as you're up." said someone who seemed to be cooking something in the kitchen.

It turns out that the person is Boa Boa, she is cooking something in her small pot along with Yuki who helps prepare dishes and glasses for eating and drinking. I don't see Elysna, it looks like she hasn't woken up yet, but she usually gets up early and cooks breakfast with Boa Boa.

"It smells good, I'm hungry... oh yeah is Elysna still asleep?" I was looking for Elysna.

"No, he was going to see the schedule of the gladiators in the royal arena" Boa Boa said, to my surprise.

"What's!? damn I just remembered that today has already started fighting! well then I'll wake Tygruth up!" my words immediately went back upstairs to wake up Tygruth who was still asleep.

Sruk up! Tygruth descended from the ceiling by perforating the upper floor connected to his room. With his face still drowsiness and his mouth that evaporates wide. Tygruth walked up to Boa Boa and sat down beside her and placed his head on the table as it was still sleepy.

In the meantime I broke down my bedroom door and as I wanted to shout to wake Tygruth up that today was the time the battle in the royal arena would start. But I didn't see Tygruth in his bed and I checked the restrooms and other rooms immediately.

"Tygruth's? since when are you here?" boa Boa said a little surprised.

"Boa Boa! Tygruth is gone!... eh!?" my words that just came down and saw Tygruth were already at the bottom.

"You are, why is it so noisy in the morning!" said Tygruth who was still limp.

"Since when have you. ah no! today is the schedule of The Royal Gladiator!" my own fussy words.

"What is that?.." said Tygruth.

"We're going to have to start getting ready to fight in the stupid kingdom's Colosseum!" I said that I was upset with him because I was still unconscious.

"What!?!?!?!?!?!?" shouted Tygruth who was finally conscious as well.

"Ouch! you guys are so noisy! you can be silent no! I'm cooking tofu!" boa Boa said with an annoyed face.

Me and Tygruth fell silent at the angry Boa Boa. Though usually she never angry though. whereas me and Tygruth always think of her as a loving Goddess. Because he was always gentle, innocent, and patient. But now it's the first time we've seen Boa Boa so angry.

But it does not make us feel strange or dislike his attitude. We exhaled with relief because finally Boa Boa could feel anger. Because everyone deserves to be angry, and do not be too patient if you are not strong enough to hold it.

Brak! a bam! Elysna suddenly came by kicking the door very hard and making it dislodged and fell hard. His face looked very serious by holding a magic paper in his left hand.

"Friends, I've got the fight schedule" said Elysna who made me and Tygruth immediately run towards Elysna.

Meanwhile Boa Boa has finished cooking and is preparing to prepare her dishes with the help of Yuki. Tygruth and I who were holding the magic paper together were shocked to see the list of gladiators. The list of participants who participated in the last event, The Royal Gladiator was reduced by half.

From the number of participants who escaped as many as 32 people to participate in the fight at the Royal Colosseum was reduced to half, with a total of 16 participants. Tygruth and I were astonished to see it and immediately asked Elysna who had represented us to go to the Colosseum to receive information about her fight schedule.

"Why... why are there only 16 participants left? shouldn't that pass be 32 people!?" I said in wonder while looking at the list of participants.

"That's because the 16 men had resigned after learning that the winning requirement was to beat the opponent to death until only the winner was left.

Many people are afraid of this fight system because it is considered too sadistic and brutal. The rest...is only 16 people including the four of us who are still following this match" said Elysna who is very serious about this matter.

"Then." said I, who suddenly had his words cut off by Tygruth.

"True, the 12 other people besides us, are the ones who are ready to die. Then, of course, those who are ready to die, are tough and strong people" said Tygruth who also put on a serious face.

"Then we must not underestimate our opponent at all!" boa Boa said that suddenly came.

Then Boa Boa invited us to eat first. Then we sat down and ate the food. Meanwhile I was still looking through the magic paper containing information regarding the participants who would be my fighting opponents.

The first fight is : Boa Boa - Kyra, Second: Keange - Ylitc, Third: Toro - Bulg, Fourth: Tygruth - Robin, Fifth : Martis - Zolqoz, Sixth : Gernath - Sheran, Seventh: Elysna - Tyran, Eighth: Milan - Gord.

That's the list of gladiator fights starting today. This fight will be divided into two days or two sessions. The first and second round battles will be scheduled today. Then the next round until the final round will be continued the next day. We are already very impatient to fight brutally in the arena!.
