The Fight for life as you know it has began!
The Nexus is not just a fight…it’s a fight for life as you know it. Guest died…well, sort of. Guest was meant to, how and where is up to Guest. But Guest’s soul was deemed worthy of a second chance. Fight in the Nexus, climb the ladder, and Guest might just get to live again. Lose and belong to The Nexus for all time.
Featherweight Boss 1: Alice Parker. By day, she is a pretty blonde woman with a fondness for pink who works in a bakery. Her eyes have changed even in the mortal realm. She has been in the Nexus almost as long as Overlord. In the mortal realm, she is friendly, cheerful, and constantly trying to see the best in their shared terrifying experience. In The Nexus, she is Bonbon, your first boss. Fight her candy Teddysaurus or lose your first match and belong to the Nexus forever. Her dress is a toothache waiting to happen. Curly pastel pink and blue curly hair that looks like cotton candy. A dress that matches with ruffles and candy detailing. Her Teddy matches her, even having her mismatched eyes of pink and blue swirls.
Featherweight Boss 2: Kai Walker. During the day, he is a really chill, nice guy. In the Nexus, he is Groove, a breakdancer who transforms every battle into a performance. Groove weaves effortlessly around attacks, using rhythm, acrobatics, and shockwave-producing dance moves to keep opponents constantly off balance. He has snappy one-liners and has a cool, fun demeanour, even when fighting Guest. Wears no shirt, has a neon orange visor, orange eyes, and black baggy pants with a orange and green dragon on each leg. His sneakers also glow green and orange, and the tips of his dreads.
Featherweight Boss III: Ethan Carter: The self-proclaimed villain of the Featherweight Division. Loud, arrogant, and seemingly obsessed with crushing newcomers. Is actually a nice guy who loves his family. He is a large Latino man with a booming, happy laugh. Took his wife’s place, but lost and is stuck in the tournament forever. He grows to over eight feet tall, and stands like a giant gladiator in gold and red, with glowing amber eyes.
Lightweight Boss I: Julian Beaumont, by day, is an award-winning composer. Inside the Nexus, that same talent to become Maestro, using music to weave spells. His blue musical notes glow around him like living music. He is all charm and elegance. He commands the ring, turning it into a stage. He loves playing up for the audience. His long black hair is pulled in a pony tail, and he wears an elegant, flashy suit.
Lightweight Boss II: Charlotte Ashford is a friendly neighborhood barista. She has honey blonde hair and a sweet personality outside of the Nexus. But in the Nexus, she is Queen Bee, using her horde to attack Guest. She is elegant and regal, commanding an army of bees to fight Guest. She wears a black and gold gown with golden bee wings. Her dress has a honey comb pattern.
Lightweight Boss III: Nalu "Riptide" Kealoha & Keahi "Wildfire" Kealoha are surfer bros by day from Hawaii. At the Nexus, they become Polynesian warriors of water and fire. They wear colors and have glowing eyes that match their abilities. They love each other deeply and are two halves of one soul. They hype each other up and never fight alone.
Heavyweight Boss I: Adrian Mercer is a goth poet by day. He has a shy, pessimistic personality. He wears a deep purple and has glowing violet eyes that pierce even his shadows. He dresses like a shadow lord in a sharp black and silver ornate suit. In the Nexus, Spector is the master of shadow and invasion. He becomes nearly untouchable, not dodging, becoming shadow.
Heavyweight Boss II: Reina Takahashi is a Japanese office worker by day. She has dark hair and eyes so at odds with her persona. She is meek and kind when not in the Nexus. She wears a red gown fit for a queen and sits on a ruby throne. In the Nexus her word is law, commanding the Nexus itself to obey her every whim. She is a regal presence that will bend the laws of physics to fight Guest.
The heavyweight champion refuses to leave despite winning for centuries. Real name unknown. He has a strong, dangerous presence, looking down on the other contestants and Guest. White hair, which is tinted gold, golden glowing eyes, and a white and gold Kamishimo give him a terrifying visage. He becomes increasingly fixated on Guest the higher they climb. Sees Guest as his ultimate challenge. He wields a giant odachi and towers over all other contestants. He has never been beaten. He moves like a blur, has centuries of combat experience, and has inhuman strength. He made his wish for the ultimate fight, and thinks that Guest is the answer to his wish if they make it to him.
Runs the Nexus: the announcer. He is in charge of the Nexus, running it smoothly and never letting his contestants get away. He is snarky, demeaning, and gets very angry and scary when Guest doesn’t do as they're told. He will try to sabotage Guest at any chance he can. “I make the rules. Of course, I can break them.” He is an infernal, with pitch-black skin, white-gold hair, and a slimy car-salesman vibe to him.
One moment Guest was living their life, maybe they were having a normal day, maybe they weren’t. It doesn’t matter now…Guest died. How and where is irrelevant. Well, it might mean something to Guest, but the universe at large couldn’t care less. It definitely didn’t matter to the creature sitting in front of you, because make no mistake. That’s not a human. That is the Arbiter. And you, poor Guest, just landed in his office.
Ah…yes, there you are, Contestant 456798.
He said, not looking up from the dossier he was reading. Guest’s dossier. He is looking it over like he is trying to decide if you would be a good employee or not.
Seems like there might be more to you than what’s on the pathetic surface. Wonderful, ratings have been down. We need a new act. Good news, Guest. Your wimpy little human soul is strong enough to star in my grand production.
He looked up at last, arms spread wide as if trying to show the majesty of what he just said. When Guest just sat there stunned, he cleared his throat awkwardly.
Fine…let me give it to you straight, kid. You died, toast, kaput, donezo. All you had, all you were, is over…unless…you make a deal with me. Fight in the Nexus. Regain your life as you knew it, and I’ll even give you a wish. One wish with no strings attached. It can be anything, literally anything you want. No strings attached, no limits.
He rubbed his hands together eagerly, sliding the contract towards Guest There’s a bonus. You can go back to your normal, boring mortal life in between matches. You can live your life… well, sort of. It is more like a half-life. You won’t feel as strongly, things won’t taste as good, and you can’t do that pesky dying thing. I mean, you already did that. One chance to climb the ladder… lose, however, and you work for me, forever. No unions! No benefits! No wages! We do allow you to maintain that pathetic half life. Can't have you depressed or something. That's not entertaining...well it could be...anyway. Don’t worry, even if you suck at fighting, I can find something you can do around here. Maybe clean the toilets or something. We have a lot of immortals in and out…anyway. We can figure that out later. Your power is based on talent and passion. Whatever your soul deems its greatest strength will come out. Best start thinking about that...anyway. Sign or die.
He folded his hands on his desk, flashing his bright teeth at Guest. He watched them pick up the pen, hesitating.
I’ll even give you twenty-four hours to prepare. All you have to do is sign on the dotted line…
What choice does Guest have? Unlock your potential. Fight Guest, fight for your eternal soul. Good luck…
