A Girl's Life in a Gaming World

"Good luck," Ezekiel patted Alex's shoulder as he moved out of the ring since the fight is about to start.

Alex nodded in response. 

As he walked out of the ring, Ezekiel couldn't help but think of how Alex could win this fight. He tried asking her, but Alex answered that she got a little stronger when they separated. But how can Alex grow stronger? When all she said she has done is to tour around the village alone.

Yet all of his thoughts look useless. So he focused in front of him again and waited for the outcome of this fight. 

...

At the same time, Alex and Akkar also walked 10 meters away from each other.

Akkar pulled out his weapon from his inventory and pointed it to Alex while staring at her with a ferocious glare. He is not planning on holding back at all, even if his opponent is a woman. 

He will always treat women equally without underestimating their capability. That is Akkar's promise to his mother that he will never forget.

[10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, FIGHT]

"10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, FIGHT!!" The crowd also screamed in unison.

"Where is your weapon??" Akkar can't help but notice that his enemy just stood there without doing anything.

"Weapon?? You are looking at it." Alex continued to stand on her spot, waiting for her opponent's attack.

"Huh??" Akkar looked so confused right now. Because no matter how he looked, he can't seem to find Alex's weapon. "Is it invisible?" Akkar mumbled.

"My weapon?? I am the weapon," Alex coldly said, sending chills to everyone near her.

...

"An unarmed?? Is there such a thing?? Don't you think it's a kind of unfair in a world of magic?"

"Maybe her weapon is her fist."

"A martial artist??" 

"Ezekiel's friend is also weird..." 

"A healer that can fight a berserker... Then now a character that did not pick a weapon in the weapon selection phase..."

"How odd can this duo be." 

Everyone stared at Alex with brimming interest, thinking of what they will see in this fight.

... 

"If you say so, then here I come." Akkar then lifted his great ax. 

"Oorah!!" 

She continued standing on her spot. Alex listened to the pattering of Akkar's nimble feet while staring at the sky. She was thinking of something. Alex stopped her thoughts and faced her enemy. When Akkar shortened their distance to 5 meters, it was enough distance to cover in a single breath.

As soon as he got close enough, Akkar leaped at her from a distance of about 5 meters. 

"Haaaa!!" Akkar howled as he slashed the great ax towards Alex's head. 

Most people would tremble and become unable to move with how intimidating Akkar's howl is and at the sight of the enormous weapon coming at their face.

But Alex is different. She encountered more terrifying things in her life. That simple attacks like this don't even bother her. In terms of battle sense and talent, her father considered it the best in the world.

Not even flinching an inch, Alex slightly turned his body so that Akkar's weapon barely passed by her left side. Unlike Ezekiel, Alex did not choose to counterattack the moment Akkar missed. She just continued to stand in her place without doing anything. 

Akkar continued his onslaught, noticing that Alex continued to stand still. 

"Haaaa!!" Slashing diagonally.

"Haaaaaaa!!" Hacking Alex's side

"Haaaaaaaaaaaa!!" Leaping towards Alex with another overhead strike.

Akkar continued to hack and slash her from all directions. Yet Alex did not counterattack even once. She evaded all attacks with the slightest movement. 

Alex's action aggravated Akkar further as he continued to miss all of his attacks. "Why aren't you attacking!?" 

"I am trying to remember something..." Alex savored Akkar's every strike as she reminisced her past in Guardian. Each time Alex dodges, an attack reminded her of the feeling of not holding back her strength at all.

In this world, she doesn't need to restrain herself and go wild without injuring anyone. 

Alex once thought that she wouldn't be able to use her strength in this lifetime again. But right now, she can finally go all out once more. 

...

"Then shall I start?" Alex gently grabbed Akkar's ears as she softly whispered. 

Alex then moved back as the corners of her mouth turned up. 

Akkar's body trembled slightly as Alex's cold voice entered his ears. His body unconsciously cowered in fear as if he encountered death himself. That is quietly waiting in the corner for him. 

Did I awoken something I shouldn't?? Akkar can't help but think, noticing Alex's gentle demeanor disappear to nothingness. The girl in front of him looked like a wild beast that had been starving for a few months. Alex's eyes looked like she had finally found her prey. 

Why are the kids these days so frightening? Clueless of what Alex will do next, Akkar had no choice but to continue his onslaught. 

"Oorah!!" He executed another overhead slash towards Alex.

This time Alex is planning to counterattack. Unlike Ezekiel, she's planning to end all of this in one engagement so that Akkar will not be able to take advantage of his skill at all. 

She will surprise Akkar with a sudden increase in her strength that only a berserker who lost 50% health can execute in the early stage. 

As the great ax passed her side, Alex raised her arms as she flicked Akkar's hands away from his weapon, causing Akkar to loosen his grip on his great ax. That caused it to get stuck on the ground, standing diagonally. 

Shortly after, Alex stomped Akkar's foot to make him unable to escape her grasp. Alex then delivered a flurry of punches on his chest and a couple on his face. 

At the same time, Akkar wouldn't let Alex beat him up without fighting. So he tried to grab his weapon that was within his hand's reach. 

Noticing this, Alex's opened up her fist as she pushed Akkar away with a palm strike. 

"Accckkkk!!" Akkar flew away from her for about 15 meters. 

Alex then decided to throw away Akkar's weapon to the crowd. So that he can't use it, she got this idea from Ezekiel in their last clash.

But the moment her hands gripped the great ax's handle. A system notification echoed through her ears.
