The announcer stated as the crowd seated in their respective seats.
"Wooh!" The crowd cheered as this is the thing that they want. They were a bit disappointed by the sudden elimination of multiple players during the first event, but it seems that it is meant as an appetizer for the main event.
"The Second Event is none other than King of the Hill! It is an event that will be similar to a game that is familiar with all of you and that is Capture the Flag! Let us view the rules of the event!" The announcer stated as the holographic projections showed the rules of the event.

The rules of King of the Hill are much more in-depth than the first event as there are many factors that needed to be considered. The map length for the second event is the same as that of the first event but it has more areas with different elemental affinities.
The area for King of the Hill has five distinct parts which are a mountainous area in the north where there are steep cliffs and ridges. An area with lots of water and islands in the eastern part of the map. A swampland in the western area of the map filled with numerous marshlands.
A desert area in the south where heat is scorching, and sand particles could obscure vision. The middle area that connects each of them is none other than a jungle area, but it is not vast or messy. The stage for the second event is even more breathtaking than the first one.
"Now that we have revealed the rules and every bit of detail! Players will you come and enter the game pods! Let us give them our appreciation!" The announcer stated as he gave the go signal for the players to enter the arena once more.
"Wooh!" The crowd cheered as the players wave back at the crowd that is currently watching them. Some looked confident while some are looking for redemption from their previous blunders. This time they will no longer be taken out by a disaster that they could not easily avoid.. Their faces all told the statement \'The Real Fight starts now!".
