Impasse !

"It was already in my plans."

The duel ensued in an explosion of sparks.

Both opponents were masters of their art, their movements too fast to be followed by the ordinary human eye.

For his part, Captain Orvari stood off in the distance, watching Maxime and Ytan fight.

He rested while smoking a cigar.

It relaxed him from time to time, although it could very slightly reduce his physical capacity permanently if he took it too often.

But he didn't care.

His men would ask him from time to time how he had become so strong, and what had motivated him to become so strong.

And he would reply:

"I didn't become strong because I wanted to, I became strong because I liked playing video games. When I was young, all I wanted to do was have fun, and enjoy life to the full."

And many gamers were in the same situation as he was. They simply loved this game that allowed them to enjoy life, without it impacting on their lives in the real world.
