Underground (Literally and Figuratively)

Yuan Tai left the smithy and walked around with his eyes paying close attention to everyone. He made sure to check some stuff out whilst trying to find something.

….

Finally, a couple of minutes later, Sora finally found what he was looking for.

After he was following a man with a large coat into the alleys whilst making use of his Sneak skill, and even bringing it up to level three quickly, Yuan Tai found the place he wanted to be led to.

He got out of his Sneak mode and followed right behind the man into a huge building with a large sign on the front, Brawler's Delight.

Yuan Tai smiled and walked in through the door. What accompanied his entrance into the building was the loud cheers and yells coming from deeper within the building. Sora continued to follow the man in coat over to a stairway that led down into a lower level the building was covering.

'Finally!'

Yuan Tai looked at the large crowds of people surround ten different caged rings underground. A large amount of people yelled and cheered for their bets to rise back up and fight back.

He watched as some adventurers were being dragged away over to get healed up in another room.

Yuan Tai felt his chances of surviving in World's Dungeon rise. He looked at his skills and smiled as he realized that he can bring up their levels rather easily now.

'An underground fighting arena!' thought Yuan Tai.

He looked around before heading over to the people that were handling the bets and asked where he can talk to the person overseeing the fights.

"The overseer? Ha! Good luck dealing with her, she's over at cage 5 fighting against a fighter who wanted double his usual pay," said the man who was helping a person cash in their bet.

"Thanks!"

Yuan Tai left quickly to look for the Overseer before finally finding the fifth cage.

"YEAAHH!! You rock Overseer Lin!!"

"Break his arm!!"

"Teach him to not ask for more!"

Yuan Tai listened to the yells of all the people. They were all cheering for the overseer to defeat the man and break his limbs, hoping he never asks for more money.

"Hahaha!" laughed a woman up in the caged ring.

She had long black hair tied up into a ponytail, an eyepatch over her right eye, and red lips. Yuan Tai was in a small trance as he felt attracted to her beauty and wild nature.

Overseer Lin held a man by the arm as she repeatedly punched him in the face. They were both standing until the man's legs gave out and he was punched into the floor.

The woman didn't relent however, she kept going and pounded his head onto the ground as his blood drenched the floor of the ring.

Soon, the bell rang and Overseer Lin stoop up after wiping the blood on her fists on the man's clothes. She straighted out her back and raised her hands to the side before smiling widely, "If any other fighter wants a raise, I will only give it until you can defeat me!"

Overseer Lin gave a wild smile before the cage was lifted off the ground by a metal cable.

She jumped off and that previous persona seemed to instantly vanish as her expression turned to one filled with seriousness. Everyone around her grew quiet after seeing her serious look, with the only thing audible being the sound of her high heels hitting the hard floor.

Yuan Tai looked at the woman with his Observe Skill before feeling all his hair stand on end. With a pale look, Yuan Tai looked at the number 38 next to the words Level in her status screen.

He didn't even try looking at her job since a level 38 person, even if it's just a mage, is a force to be reckoned with.

'What is she doing in a low grade city like this? What is she after...' thought Yuan Tai as he looked at Overseer Lin form afar. As he gaze at her, the woman halted in her steps and turned to look at Sora with slightly closed eyes.

'Fuck, did I do something just now?'
