Novel & Cerita A New Challenger Approaches

A tall tan woman, with a short bob comes forward in the crowd. “I, Anita Miller, challenge you Luna Aria to a fight for your position as Luna.” I, Wendy Snow, challenge you Luna Aria to a fight for your position as Luna.” “What?” My mate roars at the challengers, they retreat in fear. “It's okay babe, I'll take care of this, okay,” I say, taking a step in front of him to speak into the microphone. “At a point in my life, I would have succumbed to the doubts and harsh words, but now I have a loving mate and the best thing that ever happened to me, by my side.” My mate's large hands wrap around my waist.

I moved the cursor of the screen and scheduled a flight to Burajiru. As I went back to the search engine homepage, I saw an advertisement posted by the Challengers Association. They'll be hosting the Advancement Test sooner this year, scheduled two weeks from now. They even have the audacity to promote that whoever Guild or Party was able to conquer the S-tier quest will be given all kinds of privileges from the Association. Gulp. I swallowed my saliva, as the Challenger Association is getting more aggressive in taking the issue. It is true with the appearance of S-tier level Archdemons they'll surely need to uplift people's hope by finding people who are strong enough to battle against… the

"Oh. Challenger, Yuria Morgan, won this round. She's the new defender!" The referee announced the result without hesitation when he heard Yuria's voice. He even looked expectantly at Yuria after he made the announcement. "Let Chase Collins come up here as the next challenger!" Yuria looked in the direction of the Path Seeking Sect, where Chase was, and shouted. All attention instantly turned to Chase. Quinn and Mia had no idea what else to say. Chase had just denied there was anything between him and Yuria. Yet, she was requesting him in public. Who would believe it if he claimed there was nothing between them?

Looking so watchful and calm like the storm before lightning. The challenger stepped forward. Zara didn’t know his name, only that he was tall, muscle-bound, and had the look of a man who’d won too many fights and grown bored of it. His expression was amused, but not kind. He flexed his fists like he was warming up, even though he’d already been fighting earlier. His chest was bare, his knuckles scarred. Hunter raised a hand, and the challenger lunged forward.

“You were supposed to be dead already. I don’t know how you still stand here, but I plan to rectify that!” “If that is what my challenger prefers. You all heard him. No mercy.” CC practically sang with enthusiasm. The rogues go wild with cheers. A circle forms around the challenging opponents as both take their positions on opposite sides, assuming fighting stances. COPYRIGHT©2025/ T.MURPHY, 202MURPHY

He got into the ring with the usual cheers and the hosts gave a shocking announcement. “For the match today, our challenger is a rookie who believes he can take out Black.” Lucian raised a brow. He wasn't trying to be cocky or anything but a rookie choosing a first match with him was just diabolical. The crowd booed and murmured. They all thought the mystery person was crazy, and so did Lucian. “Please welcome to the ring our new challenger, Artemis McAlester!” The host announced and Lucian's heart skipped a beat.

They would be bearing the loss of themselves too. The picture of Lucas was showing all around the podium, on every billboard, and being announced as the new future ‘champion’ of the games. Having had a score that was higher than Kiara’s, they were announcing him as her new ‘challenge’. Kiara’s picture and his flashed as if they faced one another in challenge.

I stepped forward before security could intervene. “What do you want?” I asked flatly. Ethan chuckled. “Congratulations, Champion. Thought I’d see if the rumors were true.” I narrowed my eyes. “Say what you came to say.” He straightened, eyes gleaming. “Race me.” The crowd hushed. Whispers rippled outward like wildfire. A challenge. Alpha to Alpha. I studied him for a long moment, measuring his confidence, his posture, the faint tremor he thought he hid. He wanted this. Wanted to prove something.

How could they see? A gasp rose from the crowd as the challenger suddenly flipped backward, coming to rest with perfect control on a pillar. A small smile turned up the corners of Mathin’s mouth. He advanced. “His opponent is tiring,” Raziel said, coming to stand at her side. The light glittered off the ring in his ear. Another Haunt accompanied him, but Andrea barely spared a glance for the pair. Her fear ran too high. “He’s going to die out there!”
