Draft:

"Kya!" A Sheep Woman fell off from the ferris wheel, dangling like a pendulum as part of her dress tore off and acted as a rope, with one end of it getting stuck to the wheel.

As the ferris wheel continued to move, so did she, the echoes of her shouts presenting a wavy tune to the audience.

"Ahh, dammit. I was betting on Princess Sheeplace to survive this round." A middle-aged man from the Sheep Race smacked his lips in regret, crumpling the betting ticket in his hand.

Princess Sheeplace was hyped up to a great extent, making it seem as if she had the chance to win the Great I-Want-A-Bride Tournament and become wife to the Vampire Overlord, the strongest Vampire to exist in history and one whose reign encompassed more than half the world.

[My wife-to-be should be someone capable of rising up to all the challenges and exceeding expectations time and again. Only she is worthy to be my better half]

Six months ago, the Vampire Overlord's announcement spread around the world, shocking all reigning powers. To date, the Vampire Overlord was single. Therefore, it meant that his wife would come to exude the same level of authority as him, considering how he vowed to increase their powers to be on par with him–as his dignity required.

This was the ticket to the top of the world for any ambitious women. And since the Vampire Overlord didn't specify the race, it was a free game for all women from the world.

The day of announcement was also the day when the greatest number of divorces happened. After all, the Vampire Overlord truly didn't discriminate anyone on the bases of age, race, etc.

They only had to be a woman and pass his tests to become the Lady Overlord governing more than half the world.

There were around 100 tests to pass before the finals would be conducted. Currently, it was just the fifteenth test, one where the candidate has to stand on the frame of a ferris wheel on one foot for an hour while making a portrait of the Vampire Overlord.

Obviously, the overly hyped Princess Sheeplace failed.

"Ohh man, aren't these tests getting more and more ridiculous?" A man from the Frog Race muttered.

"Heh, I passed it, no sweat." A lady from the Frog Race smirked smugly.

"It wasn't that difficult in the first place. You needn't act important." A lady from the snake race snorted in disdain.

"Snake Fart!" The Frog Lady mocked.

"Toad Stench!" The Snake Lady vomited.

"Who will be our next contestant…" The Emcee announced aloud before staring at the list, for a moment blinking in confusion, wondering if he had read it wrongly, "The next on the list is a…human granny?"

"How rude, I'm a maiden in her young seventies." Degrapes Eatsuji puffed her cheeks, curling her sleeves as she sauntered into the massive colosseum, approaching the foot of the ferris wheel as she winked at the audience, "Caution notice, keep your hearts in check."

"I've received way too many of them."
