"Welcome to everyone present! This is the official start of the Pandelympics! A large crowd has surely gathered here in the stadium that is specifically created by the people working for Atlas. A lot of love is pouring for the game of the century! Now everyone let us say it! Welcome to…" The announcer stated as the crowd got riled up and shouted the next word with him.

"PANDEMONIUM!" Everyone shouted as the excitement of the games has finally started.

"Let us now look at the list of countries participating in the games that we have prepared for all of you!" The announcer stated as the list of the countries participating is flashed in the screen.

"These twenty countries will go head-to-head in a fierce clash to see who will reign supreme and be victorious. For the opening remarks, let us all welcome Adam Smith!" The announcer stated as a series of holographic images of the happenings in Pandemonium suddenly flooded the entire stadium to make the crowd even more pumped up.

The holographic images that the people have been seeing are the past accounts of players or special events. The top ten most viewed videos in Pandemonium are projected by the holograms as if they became real events in real life but the last holographic video that played is the most talked about.

The last holographic video is about the player named 'The Demon'. It is none other than him becoming this true self as the others already knew that he always shouted the words 'true form' when he becomes a gigantic mass of smoke.

The crowd cheered so loud that the stadium shook as they felt the tingle on their skin as if 'The Demon' really descended on the stadium and became his true form. The hype for the game affected everyone that even the parents that just escorted their children have been ignited with the passion and liveliness of all the people that loved the game.

"Thank you everyone for being here in order to support Pandemonium. The past year has been a big ride for everyone as we started with the beta. We honestly did not think that we could come to this point but the love and support of everyone made it possible.

I will not keep you all for long as I know that you are as excited as me. I am pretty sure that all of you wants to see the best of each country against each other as I am. I expect many great things to all the players that attended but I want everyone to value sportsmanship above everything else." Adam Smith stated as he passed the spotlight back to the announcer.

"Thank you for the wonderful Mr. Adam Smith for that wonderful speech. Without further ado, let us see the players of all the countries that will participate in the events that we have prepared! Come on in and greet the crowd!" The announcer stated as each of the players from each country entered in the ordered number that flashed to the screen.

When each of the players entered, a holographic image of their in-game avatar walked beside them that made the moment so cool. Others even shouted louder as they did not expect that some people were actually more beautiful in real life than their avatars.

Some even look vastly different than their avatars as their features disappeared when they are no longer in their humanoid forms. There are even some races that players could not recognize as it is the first time that they have seen them but the general reaction of everyone is none other than extreme excitement.

The social media sites were all flooded with posts about the different players that joined the Pandelympics. Even the news of each country is centered on the Pandelympics as different predictions of who will ultimately win the whole competition is a hot topic.

"First of all, let us give the players that have accepted the invitation for this event a big round of applause and our love! It is certainly not an easy task to be the representative of their own countries. They trained vigorously for the remaining months ever since the announcement has been made!" The announcer stated which made the crowd give the players encouragement.

"Let me then explain how each game will be awarded! For our five events, there are three medals which are none other than gold, silver and bronze. Each medal will have a different point system to make sure that the clash for the top is spicy!

A gold medal gives one country about five points. Three points for one silver medal and one point for one bronze medal. Also, there are special rewards that will be thrown in each event. An MVP will be awarded which is equivalent to two points.

The MVP is not necessarily the one who won the gold medal but the one with the best mechanics. They might not even be one of the medalists. This award has been created so that everyone will use the best of their abilities. Anyone could become the MVP so everyone, try your best!" The announcer stated as the players suddenly became shocked.

"The MVP award is also considered as an individual award so everyone will be battling it out for this award. There are also five MVPs as there are five events that will be held in a span of five days. Is everyone excited!" The announcer stated which made the crowd erupt with great cheers.

[Players! Please go to your stations. The first event will commence in ten minutes.]

A total of one hundred gaming pods then rose up from the stadium and each of them have stickers of the countries. The game pods that are on the stadium looked vastly different than those of the ones that even the richest players use.

"Let me explain as this are the latest game pods that have been created just for this event. It boasts the factor of 99.9% synchronization rate. It is also so comfortable that no damage to the body will incur even if the player uses it for the whole day.

These type of gaming pods will be available after the Pandelympics are over. Pre-order is also available right now for those that want to get one. You will immediately receive one after three days that the Pandelympics are over!" The announcer stated as he used his incredible marketing skills to make the new gaming pod's popularity skyrocket.

=====

Each of the players entered the game pods that have been installed on the stadium as they are now going to participate in the first event. The first event that they will participate is none other than Sharp Shooter. It is a group event, but it is also considered as an individual event because they must compete for the MVP position.

The players did not expect that there will be a custom game pod that will be used in this event as they practiced in the diamond game pod that the Atlas Inc. sold. Then again, the difference might only be in decimals but that could also factor in those who would win.

In E-sports, there is no predetermined victor as it is the most unpredictable sport in existence. One small wrong move could mean that the whole team will lose. The fine line between victory and defeat is ever present in the history of e-sports.

This is also the reason why people love to watch them as they do not know who will really win the games. It is always boring when you already know the ending of the show even though you are only watching the premiere.

"This VIP lounge is definitely something else." Adrian stated as they are currently located in a VIP room that is very near the stage.

"I feel like being in the crowd would be much better as you would feel the adrenaline pump more than actually being here. Although being this close to the stadium is also great." Marlon stated as he could see the holographic projections on the stage.

"Are you ready for your event though? We know that it is on the fifth day but even we are curious of what you will actually do in the fifth day. The only thing that they said is that you will become the raid boss." Marlon stated as he managed to get information from Tim after a few minutes of being annoying.

"You should just wait but it is true that I will be the raid boss of the event." Adrian stated as the secret is already out, and he no longer need to keep shush about something obvious.

"Your normal avatar is already a raid boss though.." Jade muttered as she could only pray that the boosted Adrian is not overpowered.
