Oh yeah, this was time first time dying in this game.

After being revived in a place called the ‘Temple of Resurrection’, I returned to the square where the spectators had gathered (by the way, the bow I had thrown away back in the special field for the battle royale had returned to me by breaking through the dimensional wall. The sight of it desperately spinning as it broke its way through the dimensional was spectacular, to say the least).

The moment they spotted me, tens of thousands of players broke into cheers “Kyaaaaa! It’s the Demon King!!!” and screams “Gyaaaaaaa?! It’s the Demon King?!?!?!” making the square boisterous all of a sudden.

“Wow, up close she’s really—no, too beautiful?! W-will she let me take a screenshot of her…?!”

“I suggest you drop the idea, dude. While she may look beautiful on the outside, she’s a devil on the inside! I participated in the first round, and believe me, I know it!”

“She was really amazing… I thought the bow was trash that would only get in the way if the opponent got close, but this is the first time I’ve seen someone who didn’t hesitate even for a second to throw her bow away like some trash and settle things with her fists…! Although she used a long-distance weapon, her decision to move to a melee battle was too quick…!”

“Didn’t she seem more accustomed to fist-fighting than shooting the bow…? C-could she actually be a girl gang leader or something…?! When she’s so beautiful…?!”

The players were noisily talking about me, surrounding me from a distance. Fufufu, it felt so good to be famous.

Okay, it was only right for me to give them some fanservice!

“Thanks for all the attention, guys~! For your sake, I’ll be participating in the second round after all!”

“““Have mercy Demon King, please don’t!”””

They stopped me again?! How incomprehensible! To hell with you bastards, I’m gonna participate anyway!

And so, time passed noisily as I received terrified looks from the players I had defeated earlier and thanks from Summoners and bow users: “We will try our best too!”. All of a sudden, it was shining behind me—turned out the old man Odin had teleported over!

The sudden turn of events shocked the surrounding players.

“What, you gonna attack me?! You wanna fight?! Fine, come, I’ll take you on!”

“Hell no?! I’ll never fight you!”

“That so? But I just woke up to the joy of killing humans.”

“Eek, we ended up opening the eyes of a dangerous guy to a dangerous world…?!”

After flinching back in fear for a moment, the old man cleared his throat and straightened his expression.

“Ahem! I have come here for none other than to congratulate you, Yuri-dono, for winning the first round of the battle royale! Ladies and gentlemen, let us give Yuri-dono a big round of applause!”

At that moment, the square was once again filled with applause and cheers. Well, some of the players who lost to me (such as Korin) stayed silent, their faces pale. But when I invited them “Let’s join forces if we meet on the field, ‘kay~?” they, for some reason, jumped and started clapping like broken toys with teary eyes. What a strange bunch.

When the applause subsided to some degree, the old man continued, “Now, allow me to give some explanation. This not only concerns Yuri-dono, but also other players.

“The event points you have obtained can be exchanged for limited items, limited skills, et cetera! In addition, the event points can be carried over to future events, so it is a good idea to save them. After all, we plan to increase the number of prizes that can be exchanged in each new event.”

Oh~, limited items and limited skills! Those were some good stuff!

I’d gained close to 30,000 points in this battle, so I should be able to exchange for anything I wanted. Furthermore, there were still the 2nd to the 5th rounds coming after this! I could earn more points!

“Now, let us move on to the special gift for the winners!

“The winners of each round of the battle royale that is held this time will be given a ‘Guild House Establishment Permit’!”

“Guild House…?!”

The old man’s words left all the players, including me, startled, and the square turned noisy again.

Guilds were organizations formed by gatherings of players. Also known as clans in some games.

But as far as I knew, this system shouldn’t exist here in Blade Skill Online…

“Hohoho, I see you are surprised! I will announce it here! With the update that will drop tomorrow, the guild system will be implemented! There will be special events and quests that can only be participated in by guilds, I hope you look forward to them!”

Ooooooh~ everybody shouted in excitement at the old man’s announcement.

That was certainly something to look forward to. And speaking of events that could only be participated by guilds, they had to be wars between guilds, right?!

My grandpa used to show me yakuza movies when I was a kid, and I’d since always wanted to try taking part in a war between yakuza~! This might be my chance to do something similar!

“Attacking the enemy’s base alone and killing everyone that gets in your way, now that’s men’s romance…”

“T-the winner is saying something disturbing, but I’m going to ignore it! Also, along with the maintenance, story quests, ‘camera mode’, and so on will be added, so do look forward to it. …And of course, there will be adjustments to some skills and jobs…!”

After the old man Odin said that, the players all turned their attention to me for some reason.

Oh, you guys~, your boy Yuri here was a Summoner, used the bow, and had put all my stat points in Luck. Given that I was fully loaded with such trash, these adjustments had nothing to do with me! In fact, I might even get buffed! I’m so excited~!

As I got hyped up, “And lastly,” the old man Odin told us, “Uh… just a little while ago, we had an emergency developer meeting—ah! I mean, I had a discussion with my ministers, and I made a decision!]

“In honor of Yuri-dono’s overwhelming strength, I confer him the title of ‘First Battle Event Hall of Fame Player’!!!”

“H-hall of fame?!”

Oh, that sounded amazing?! Would I get some amazing items?!

I had no clue, but hurray for meeeeeee!

“As a Hall of Fame Player, Yuri-dono, you will have the right to sit in the commentary seat and give live commentary on the battles during this event! So, to all players, Demon Lord Yuri will only be sitting during the next and following rounds of the battle event, you may participate without worry!!!”

“““Thank goooooooooooooooooooood!”””

H-hey, hold on a second now?! I wasn’t gonna go to the commentary seat, alright?! I was planning to continue my rampage streak, alright?!

Wait, ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh?! A message [Congratulations! You have been selected as a special commentator! *Henceforth, you will not be able to participate in this event.] popped up in front of meee!

“Now then, I will take my leave! Buh bye~!”

“““Thank you, Odin-samaaaa!”””

“Stop right there, Odin, you shitty geezer?! Let me fight more! Let me kill more! Let me rampaaaaaaaaaaage!”

Odin teleported away as though escaping from me.

…And so, I, the hero of justice, was able to teach a lesson to those who were making fun of Summoner, the bow, and Luck, but due to the machinations of the evil dev, I got banned from the battle royale…!

Just you wait, you bastard devs… I’d take revenge on you guys next time!!! Mark my words!!
