"Now let's welcome back our participants. And a round of applause to our winner, Team Riley!" The host said enthusiastically.
Spectators in the studio clapped and gave cheers when Lukas and his teammates walked up the stage.
The host proceeded to introduce the other awakened teams next.
An awkward pause ensued when Zak and his teammates were introduced.
"Er... Zak might have been under the weather but look at him. He has given his best, losing with such a close race."
The host tried to make it better for Zak, but it didn't help.
The spectators and audience watching the live stream weren't taken in by those words.
It was not even a close race.
Lukas had even killed off a Mid Tiered demonic beast without much effort.
Zak lowered his head, which was in bandages, and walked onto the stage, ignoring the silence that he was receiving.
It was like a death sentence for him.
All his endorsements and gravy train were going to be ended.
