Chapter 185 - An unexpected trial

Stepping through the gateway, he was greeted with a slightly different experience than the last time he used a similar means of transportation. This one wasn't instantaneous travel, but instead, Aiden found himself in a strange cylindrical-shaped tunnel with a flat surface made out of transparent energy. All around, he could only see the swirling mass of the dark void with the occasional speck of light mixed in, creating a fuzzy, hazy experience.

The void-tunnel as Aiden nicked it in his mind wasn't long, nor did it spiral at all. It was a short, straight hallway, he could see a similar black door-shaped tear in the space marking his potential exit from this sub-dimension.

Instinctually, Aiden sent out a few pulses of energy, but there were no responses, his system map couldn't map and record anything. Since he couldn't find any traces of a trap, or danger at all, Aiden could only go forward, and embrace himself for the strange trip ahead.
