Ranking System

"What is my deal, you presume? It's pretty simple. Bring me the head of the three strongest."

Now the first session is done, it's time for the second phase. The chatters are outraged by what I said. I can't blame them. No one was crazy enough to do what I said so that I would tell them the other half of the deal.

"If you fail to do so, I'll destroy three of the eight continents based on the viewer's choice. I will reduce the number by one for every one of them killed."

The chatters cursed me. Most of them don't believe that I can do so. Their words hold no meaning. They'll soon see the results of their actions.

"The top three could come here and challenge me and try to stop me, but if they fail, I will destroy all three continents."

"I'll also let the top three sacrifice themselves for the lives of the others. You have one hour. I'll be waiting for your choice."

"You're crazy."

Courtney finally said her first words after Sid left. I smiled at what she stated. It may be crazy, but it isn't.

"I think you forgot something. We're invaders, not some charity workers. None of those things matter whether your world is destroyed or everyone here is extinct."

"Don't you care for the lives of others!"

Courtney retorted with an empathic question. Didn't my answer from what I said earlier answer her question?

"No. I don't."

None of us invaders are foolish enough to care for the lives of anyone here. We're bandits only to gain something from destroying the lives of others. This has been the natural process since the dawn of the system's creation.

Courtney then gave up, convincing me to stop doing this. I think the emotional trauma she received earlier has now been affected. Her tears, which she couldn't release earlier, have started to drip.

Before she could be more of a nuisance, I knocked her out. Sleeping comfortably, I returned to what I had said earlier.

"You're probably wondering why seven of the eight options are available. I gave the continent Hydro immunity due to the damages we've already caused."

"Nene, entertain our viewers for the next hour."

[Ewan POV]

The meeting between the seven kings is now in session. The man known as Charles has already wreaked havoc on my land and is now making this a game. This humiliation would be a stain on our world forever.

"Everyone! That menace should be eliminated now! Where are those three? Send them in now!"

Pyro, the man in red, spoke in anger. For the fire nation, he sure has an anger issue. I should be the one angry at this moment.

"Pyro, hold your horses. You should know coordinating for an attack would take some time, especially when our nation is so scattered. We've got an hour to prepare for a full brunt assault."

Photo, the man of reason, tried to calm Pyro down. Everyone here was shaken by the things that the invaders were doing. The last thing we needed to do was to fight among ourselves.

"An hour? Don't you see the rest of the invaders? They're destroying your nation, Hydro! Don't you have anything to say to that?"

"It's inevitable that one of our nations will be damaged. Luckily our agreement to help pay for each damage done to our countries will be shared. It may suck, but I can't be mad at it if we could deal with the situation with the most care."

I spoke professionally and amazed some of my peers. What I said was partially correct. If we can end this nightmare faster, then I'll be fine. I won't be the only one that loses something.

Besides, failing is not an option. Imagining the consequences of our failure made my head blur. Our position would be removed, and the future of our kind will be bleak.

"That doesn't answer my question! What about the rest of the invaders?"

"We could only wait. Pyro, you should know what happens if we fight, right?"

Geo, the most commanding, spoke. He has every right to speak to us like this for having the most powerful nation. He could wipe the seven of us single-handedly.

Geo had Pyro shut up. Pyro wasn't happy but could do nothing about it. As Geo said, we could only wait for the results. We continued to watch Charles and his ridiculous act waiting for his next move.

[Felicia POV]

That brat now took the attention of the world. It was questionable how he had done it, but this was the result we were looking for.

"M'am! We had gathered some guides for our raid. What should we do next?"

"Tell them to locate any resources that will improve any qualities for our ranking. If they do a good job, we will reward them."

Eighty of our men were now together, commanding the people of this world. We've rounded up some of these people and made them into use.

We began to plunder resources from every plausible building. Who would've thought in my entire life that I, Felicia, would start plundering out in the open?

"DIE!!!"

An attacker screamed loudly, with a dagger in his hand, and tried his best to stab me. I didn't pay him any attention since he was already dead from my poison.

Maybe I should retire after this. I have gained ten years' worth of resources. Working for the remaining years of my life should be illegal. I'm already old, and I won't get younger.

I heard Japan's weather was nice this year. Robbing everything, I then looked at the screen. I couldn't help but shake my head at that ridiculous performance that cat girl was doing.

I might've paid close attention to this stream if we weren't in this situation. Leaving the store, I went to the next.

With that brat dealing with all the dangers, I hope nothing will go wrong.
