Time Stop Part I

“The winner is…Meeeerrlinnnn!!!!”

His victory declaration came at the same time as the cheers that nearly tore the stadium apart.

Every person in the audience stood up, jumping and celebrating so hard that their movements shook the venue. And at the center of the stage was a young summoner, stock still. His eyes were opened wide. His breathing was rapid. He kept looking around like he was still panicking.

The vibration from those cheers felt like a floating dream that permeated every essence of the air.

When he glanced at the giant LCD screen above the stage, his thought was then confirmed by the sight of LP of summoners from both sides. On one side was zero, and the other was one.

It was the same pair of numbers he saw when he lost last time. However, the ‘one’ in front of him right now had a whole different meaning.

“AAAAAARGGGGHHHH!!!!’

The victor’s roar rang loud, stirring the crowd around him into an even more intense frenzy.
