Canon[]

Chapter 4- Tour de Inferno[]

Wise first encounters Lighter when he and Billy Kid cornered by an Ethereal. Lighter and Caesar King saves the two, and they end the Ethereal. Wise soon faints from being in the Hollow for too long, Lighter didn’t realize he couldn’t stay in them for long, and comments, “It’s like being a professional fighter who faints at the sight of blood, no wonder I feel a connection with you.” Wise is surprised that Lighter faints at the sight of blood.

Overlord’s Feast[]

In Overlord’s Feast, Wise is ordered to run the Outer Ring diner, Cheesetopia, Lighter asks if Cheesetopia is carefully selected by the boss, the Overlord’s private property, and the mysterious den run by the Legendary Proxy, Phaeton. Before calling it a dump. Wise tells Lighter he’s sharp as always, and compared when he first took over, it can be considered a luxury diner. Lighter says Wise’s definition of luxury really fits the Outer Ring, he must be getting used to life around these parts. Lighter told Wise he was assigned on a mission from Caesar and Lucy to see if there’s anything he could help out with. It was revealed by Dorian, that Lighter’s mission is to get a door in the depths of the Outer Ring Hollow. Wise believes they don’t have to go through such lengths for a door, Lighter liked the opportunity, and told Wise not to worry, as issues that can be solved with fists is no issue at all. When they got the door, Lighter asks Wise to say something nice like, “thank you for your hard work.” The two options are, “Thank you for your hard work,” or “Thank you so much, Master Lighter.” Both result in the same response. Lighter asks for his treat, or was Wise going to keep him waiting and make him keel over from hunger outside Cheesetopia before tearfully swooping in with apologies. Wise apologizes, calling him “Master Lighter,” and shouldn’t have let him starve at his restaurant’s doorstep.

After serving Lighter a meal that matches City Life preference, Lighter comments that it’s better than he expected, Wise asked how does it taste, Lighter said it almost made him crave the city life where he can feast on junk food everyday. But he wasn’t being serious, he couldn’t make a living in the city with just fists, but if Wise gave him a job at Random Play that wouldn’t be the case, and his boss wouldn’t mind if it were for Wise. Lighter bides farewell, and tells Wise to take good care of Cheesetopia and Dorian. If Caesar didn’t need him elsewhere he might stick around as a waiter. When reaching level 6, and starting Overlord’s Banquet Hall, Wise is able to find Lighter in the corner of the restaurant. Going up to him, Lighter told Wise that only Wise still seemed to remember him. Wise can responded with, “Well, you’re the toughest fighter,” or “Well, you’re the hardest hitter.” Lighter told Wise that it made him sound like a violent type of person, but as The Champion, he thinks it’s good to maintain a little mystery and fearful reputation.

Agent Story: The Unsung Champion[]

Part 1[]

Wise and Belle got an invitation to the Settlement Days celebration from the Sons of Calydon. Belle told Wise she’ll stay and watch the store, and will come later. After Wise arrived at Blazewood, he wasn’t able to reach Caesar but Lighter was just ahead. Lighter told Wise she’s caught up with stuff for Settlement Days, and sent Lighter to come get Wise. Lighter explained what Settlement Days are, (When people/groups have unfinished business with other people/groups and have three days to settle their beef by challenging each other.) Wise wonders if it’s okay for a delicate Proxy like him to attend such events. Lighter explained that it used to be more hardcore, but now that Caesar was the new Overlord, this year’s duels were mainly childish games, and prizes where things such as stale bread or a stolen rabbit from someone’s backyard. Wise thought it sounded more of a fair. Lighter asked Wise if there was anything he wasn’t happy about during their last mission together, if so, now’s the time to settle it. Wise brought up Lighter accidentally stepping on Eous’s foot. Lighter apologizes and thinks it’s a perfect excuse for them to have a Nitro-fuel drink off. Wise believes it’s just an excuse for Lighter to drink Nitro-fuel when in fact it made him feel lightheaded, but Caesar told him to give Wise a good time, so Lighter wanted to give him the full Settlement Days experience. Lighter bets on a Bangboo Ether Battery, if he loses, Wise can take it as an apology to Eous. Wise agrees and if he lost, he’ll give a discount coupon for his video store. Lighter went to queue up at Steeltusk, telling Wise to meet up later.

A while later, Wise meets Lighter at Steeltusk only for Nitro-fuel to be out of stock. The two split up to borrow for Nitro-fuel from the residents, a hesitant girl tells Wise, Lighter told a bunch of people he was meeting an important friend, and turned down a lot of challenges. After getting the Nitro-fuel from a sturdy man, they are able to start the challenge. Whether Wise win or loses, Lighter apologizes to him and Eous, and hopes Wise isn’t angry anymore. Wise told him he wasn’t going to hold any grudges. As they finish, someone approaches Lighter and challenges him because he scared his cat. Wise believed Lighter probably won’t accept the challenge, but he did. Wise asked if that was a legit reason for a challenge, Lighter explained that for people who like cats, cats are like their family. When they miss out on cute moments, it could be something they regret for a long time. He then asked if Wise bought the Nitro-Fuel raffle ticket, Wise never heard of it. It’s something extra to spice things up, and if Wise bets on Lighter, he can have all the Nitro-Fuel he can drink tonight. If Lighter lost, he’d be paying for Wise’s Nitro-Fuel. Lighter corrected him, and that there’s no if. The Champion never loses in the ring. Wise happily rooted for him and went to buy Nitro fuel raffle tickets. (He’s able to purchase 1 ,3 or 5.) The challenge soon starts, Lighter competes against many challengers, one of them being Andreas, a supporter of the old Overlord. He wagers his badge of honour. Lighter tells him to not wager his honour if he wasn’t serious about this, Wise tries to lighten up the atmosphere by telling them they could wager different things. The two men bet on their boxing gloves. Lighter knocks him down, but Andreas tries to provoke Lighter with about his past. He remains unfazed and told Andreas they could fight again if he had any grievances. The challenge soon comes to an end, Lighter didn’t think Wise would stick around till the end, Wise told him that he brought those raffle tickets, and had to see who won in the end. Lighter asked if Wise bet everything on him, cause he worked very hard to keep his promise to get him all the Nitro-fuel. Wise did, he said it who else was he supposed to root for, but it’d take him a while to finish it all. Lighter told him people don’t get free Nitro-fuel everyday, so why not loosen up a little. Worst case, he can just spend the night at Blazewood. Wise asked if Lighter wanted to drink with him, but Lighter had to check on something by first, and Wise could get the drinks from Burnice. If he finished early, he’ll catch up with Wise. Wise went to see Burnice to redeem the coupons, she brought up as a Champion, Lighter was perfect, though interacting with him can be a headache. Wise asked her what exactly is a Champion, the girl explained and told Wise to pass on a message from Big Daddy to Lighter. From a distance, Wise finds Lighter in a quiet corner, passing on the message. Lighter also planned to tell Big Daddy something, that there was something off about Andreas and went to keep an eye on him. Wise thought Lighter just had to play the flashy frontman, he didn’t realize Lighter was keeping tabs on so much behind the scenes too.
