The Law of Combat...

This one universal law has spawned the Rulers Tournament, a competition that gives people the opportunity to fight their way up to the top.

And the chance to become ruler of this world.

In modern-day society, this tournament has become ultra-popular thanks to broadcasters allowing everyone to see each battle live.

The rules for the tournament are simple.

Once you meet your opponent, you fight until one of you dies, or is no longer capable of battling.

If you beat every competitor, you get to fight the Champion. Defeat them, you get to enter the next stage of the tournament.

The tournament starts with the State level, then the Country Level, and finally, the World tournament.

These battles are usually the talk of the town, no one escapes without some knowledge of the battles.

Unless you have a kid who knows how to stop you from receiving any information about the tournament by turning on safe searches and searching blocks.

Walter: Ashley? What are you doing on my phone?

Ashley: I noticed a text from someone with a lady's name. Wanted to make sure they were fit to be our new mom.

Walter: Eh?!

Ashley: Vicky... Huh? Who is she?

Walter: She's a new part-time sensei in my dojo....

Ashley: Are you gonna ask her out?

Walter: No.

He snatches his phone back from Ashley.

Ashley:(mind) He's flustered. Good, that should make him none the wiser.

Keith: Why not?

Casually on the couch, the youngest child chimed in.

Keith: Mother left you alone. It's only fair for you to find some satisfaction.

Walter: S-Satusfaction? What are you talking about?!

Ashley: He has a point. Mom is probably living it up with supermodels.

Keith/Walter: Ehhhhhh.....

Ashley: You know what? We don't have to explain this to you. You're texting that lady and asking her out.

Walter: I'm not interested-

Ashley puts her hands on her hips, tilts her head, and gives her father a look that Walter could not say no to.

Walter: I guess a cup of coffee wouldn't hurt...

Leaving the room so he could set up a date, the siblings discussed their plan.

Keith: This is perfect. If we get him a woman, he'll be too distracted to notice the tournament.

Ashley: Speaking of the tournament... I saw our mother had appointed a new state champion here.

Keith: Good. Once I defeat them, she'll know I'm a threat.

Ashley: How's that good?

Keith: She'll be forced to take me seriously.
