Re-Awakening: I Became a Pay To Win Boss Monster-Chapter 145: End of the Auction

"L-Listen up y-you degenerates!" Aria yelled, a faint blush spreading across her cheeks. "This guy here is the king, Rael Sutekh, and he's stepped up to give out the rewards!"

Rael raised a brow but went along with her cocky introduction.

"Yeah, sup everyone. I'm sure all of you know me by now after the last quest I gave you," Rael said with a nod toward Aria.

A relieved expression appeared on her face as she walked off stage and slumped down in some random seat, almost falling asleep in an instant.

As for him? He had to give out the sets to the three who had bought them all.

"Emilio, AFK_Support, and RagingFist, come up to the stage," Rael stated, and the 3 players stepped up and stopped in front of him.

Hmm... they don't look very strong, Rael thought as he inspected them.

—RagingFist (Player) [Level 66] [64,200/64,200 HP]

—AFK_Support (Player) [Level 29] [100/100 HP]

—Emilio (Player) [Level 4] [11,500/11,500 HP]

"...?" Rael tilted his head.

What's with that HP pool? Does he have a secret class? Maybe... a secret skill?

<Premium Override Activated!>

<Would you like to cancel the opponent's skill? Cost: 1,000,000 Trell>

<Would you like to steal the opponent's skill [Sigurd's Sight (Legendary)]? Cost: 500,000,000 Trell>

<Notice: You have a similar skill which is much better than [Sigurd's Sight (Legendary)]>

Pity. Rael sighed, ignoring his low level and useless skill.

It was definitely a special class though, so that was another thing added to the back of his mind.

Nonetheless...

"First off, RagingFist," Rael said as he walked up to the 10 special boxes and pulled out 3.

Each special box held 20 of those Prism sets, and since RagingFist had bought 60 of those sets, Rael simply handed him the 3 special boxes.

RagingFist looked on in satisfaction and straightened his posture. "Thank you, sir."

"Don't call me sir," Rael stated, and just as he was about to grab the next batch of special boxes, he remembered the main reason why he brought them onto the stage in the first place.

<Access to the Depths>

<Would you like to grant the players RagingFist, AFK_Support, and Emilio individual access to the Depths? Yes/No>

<Note: They will gain their own individual portals, and only they alone will be able to pass through them and back.>

He swiftly gave them access, and with that, his slots decreased even more.

<Access To the Depths>

<Slots Remaining: 9>

<Quest: [Dark Auction (Level 1)] has been finished! Would you like to award the players who participated? Yes/No>

Nah. Rael shrugged it off, and sent a nod toward the 3 players.

"Anyways, enjoy that. I'll get the rest of your stuff."

With that, Rael walked back and got the remainder of the boxes.

AFK_Support had also bought 60 sets, so Rael handed him the 3 special boxes, and then there were only 5 special boxes left, which he tossed over to Emilio.

"Alright, you're excused—"

<Mind attack reflected!>

<Attacker: (Player) Emilio>

This fucking idiot... Rael's eyes narrowed as another pop-up appeared.

<(x1) Human [Level 4] has been Threaded!>

<Decreasing Willpower by 4%/sec>

<Synaptic Hijack: Available!>

<Cost: 5,000 MP>

"Well, as much as I'd like to probe your mind, I'll do something else instead," Rael said with an innocent smile, startling Emilio.

"Apologies, King Rael Sutekh. I don't know what came over me," Emilio said, doing his best to sound formal. "I promise, I won't do anything like that again."

But Rael didn't exactly care as he tilted his head, and then snapped his fingers.

[MP -150,000,000 887,749,200/1,037,749,200 (x1 Neural Collapse)]

"See ya," Rael said, and in the very next moment, Emilio's head popped like a balloon. Yet instead of blood, blue particles spurted out.

-6,221,817,612! Critical Hit! (x1 Neural Collapse)

It was just a simple option from his Neuroweb skill, and it simply snapped all the threads, dealing pretty impressive damage.

Nonetheless, the only person who was able to see the damage number, aside from Rael, was none other than Emilio.

I wonder...? Will he make a ruckus on the forums? Though I doubt anyone will believe him even if he tells them I do billions of damage.

"Anyways... I'm glad all of you participated, and as for who I'll be giving the set to?" Rael said, glancing across the entire auction.

He spotted Asimov. However, the person he was really going for was PinkGirl.

She literally had pink hair and eyes, even a pink dress. Basically, she was the perfect mascot.

PinkGirl sat near the back, hugging her knees with visible hope.

Therefore, with a wide smile, Rael tossed the armor set, and with great precision, it landed on the shocked PinkGirl's lap.

"T-Thank you!" she yelled with a wide smile on her face.

He glanced in her direction, and with an innocent smirk, nodded.

"That's all. The Dark Auction is over. See you all in a couple of months," Rael added, and began walking away.

There was a very simple reason why he didn't pick someone like BlackDragon, who clearly had a dozen more viewers, or Asimov, who was a slightly more popular PinkGirl.

She wasn't an established streamer like the others, merely a freelancer from what he had seen.

That was why she would attract a genuine audience to her stream, and of course, put Celestara in an even better light.

After all, Celestara was bound to flourish, and if PinkGirl could show the good, then the moment Sketa Online launches, Celestara would be the most powerful city... country in the entire continent.

With that, Rael pushed the two winners off the stage and headed to the very back.

Aria seemed to have fallen asleep, and he wouldn't wake her.

She deserved some rest, and so did he—

"Rael," a voice rang out from behind, belonging to Zareth. "I've got an update on the developing situation. It's serious."

Rael sighed. Yeah... peace? Maybe someday...

He met Zareth's gaze and put on a serious expression.

"Tell me."
