Book 1:Chapter 5: The Trial

Regal was now in the void with only the mini altar and the tabloid that attached to it that is giving him comfort if not falling.

Rumble...Rumble...Rumble...

[Welcome Challenger] An archaic voice similar to the voice that talks to him before yet somehow different.

"Where am I? What is this?" Regal asked.

[This is the void corridor whom shall give you what you seek]

"Void corridor? Sorry I don't know that. Can I get out now?" Regal asked in a silly manner.

[Those who got here are destined for greatness... if you're not up to thy standard just drift on this void, and scatter]

'What!? I should be careful this isn't a Joke. I'm not with my father anymore' Regal mused.

"What do I have to do to take the trial?" Asked Regal to the mysterious voice.

[You shall take this test of solitude, on this path you will walk your own fate, write your own destiny]

[Now for you to be deemed worthy, you must know yourself first, and know what path you will pursue]

Wooooosh

A loud woosh sound and a strange blinding light that made regal involuntarily closed his eyes.

When he opened his eyes he was in a shack with a lots of weapon to choose from. At the table there's a sword, A spear, A bow, A Scythe, A halberd, A hammer, even a knuckle, Great sword, and two daggers.

[On this trial you have to survive, you must remember this. No one will help you just yourself, this is a reality that you may die. Let the trial begin]

He was shocked when he heard the voice. He tried to pick up the dagger and put a little wound on his hand to feel the pain if it's really real.

He was jolted from the sensation of the pain. 'I can't be careless in here' he mused.

He then picked up the other dagger and tied a cloth and wrap it around on each of his legs putting each dagger there. And he looked at the other weapons, he instantly noticed the scythe.

The scythe has exquisite design, the scythe is pitch black with an extremely fine lining if red that makes it look beautiful, and at the corned edge of the scythe blooms a red lotus with it's thorn looking like a fine design that matches the scythe's design, and he knows that this isn't an ordinary scythe like the dagger than the picked up earlier.

This is cool let me try this!

The moment he touched the scythe he felt an intense shock from it, like repelling it's grip and he feel like letting go the scythe, then suddenly the scythe emitted a red glowing light the red lotus rotated. The thorns from the lotus wrapped around his palm to his arm.

Blood began seeping from his hand and arm even if he wanna let go of the scythe it's too late now.

"What's this? The thorn sucking my blood shit!" Regal panicked. Suddenly he heard a voice on it's head.

After that voice faded he noticed he noticed that the thorn is still draining his blood.

"Damn what's this? I have no choice have I!? I accept!!!" He shouted.

*Beep*

[Scythe of the Calamity] *Sealed*

'The Scythe that walks in countless corpses and bloodbath. This scythe where it swings calamity descends.'

Binding...

He then saw a scene on his mind there's a man holding the same scythe that he's holding. Beneath the man is a pool of blood surrounded by countless corpses, in front of the man where he faced is a Gigantic behemoth with two horns on it's cheeks. And a gigantic armored beetle, also a gigantic serpentine... Countless type of enemy!

The man swipd the scythe then suddenly the space distorted, after that he saw everything got slaughtered! Raining and dying the sky of blood.

And the memory ended. Bleech for Regal this is too much. He vomited due to the gore scene that he saw.

Click... Scythe of Calamity binded*

[Congratulations on choosing a path, consider the first path a success. Your next goal is still the same, survive in this parch of land. You can only rely on yourself]

...

After the binding is done an information in front of him suddenly appeared.

When regal saw this he got confused.

*Awakening complete* Buzz...

...

While Regal is getting confused on his situation of what was going on. Not far from the shack there's a rustle if one is they will hear footsteps.

Regal came back to his senses and decided not to care for now. 'Maybe this is a part of the trial'

Buzz* First quest

(Slay Forest wolves)

0/50

If the quest is not complete within 3 days the quest will be forfeited along with the life of the one who fails this test.

"Forest wolves? Are they even that many? And how will I hunt them in three days? shit shit. My luck recently is always this good ha." He then laugh self mockingly.

Outside the shack heard some footsteps. Regal checked outside and there he saw four furry figures lurking. And he can hear the rustling of the grass each time they step 5-6 meters away from him, the only thing diving them are the tall grass.

Suddenly on of those figure pounced at Regal when he finally saw the figure. It's wolves! The wolf open it's mouth ferociously wanting to tear of his flesh.

Regal jumped to the side to dodge the pounce, and when Regal was about to swing the scythe he suddenly saw another shadow on his peripheral vision pouncing towards him. He then rolled to the side again dodging the wolf.

'So this is the quest huh. As I guessed pretty dangerous, I need to finish this quickly. There's some more wolf lurking waiting for an opening' He mused.
