COMPLETING THE FINAL TRIAL

As jacob grabbed the gear from his inventory he decided to examine every piece

As he gazed upon the enchanting wooden staff, he couldn't help but feel a sense of awe and wonder. The intricate magical runes seemed to pulsate with mystical energy, and the staff itself appeared to possess a life force of its own. It was as if the ancient tree from which it was crafted had imbued it with a powerful essence, one that could transport the wielder to another realm of power. He was utterly captivated by its otherworldly beauty and could feel the stirring of a deep, primal magic within him as he held it.

The matching shirt and ensemble that he acquired alongside the mesmerizing, long green robe are equally enchanting and otherworldly. The intricate designs on the fabric are just as breathtaking, with depictions of various insects that came to life before his eyes. When he wore the outfit, he felt a powerful surge of energy, tapping into a hidden wellspring of magic that imbued him with an ancient and mystical essence. The way the shirt and ensemble move and flow with his every step was nothing short of mesmerizing, enhancing the mystical allure of the entire ensemble. It is truly a treasured artifact that people would fight over

The backpack that he had found seemed to be made with ancient wool, covered in mysterious runes that he couldn't quite decipher. The intricate design of insects stitched into the fabric were quite fascinating. It looked like something out of a fantasy novel. He couldn't help but wonder about the person who created it and the stories behind it. Despite its old appearance, the backpack seemed sturdy and well-made, as if it could withstand the test of time. He couldn't resist the urge to touch it and feel the texture of the wool and the intricate stitches. It was truly a unique and captivating piece.

The weathered mask looked like an insect with mystic runes engraved on it. It was a truly awe-inspiring piece of art! The intricate details of the mask were so lifelike that it seemed to be made of some kind of ancient material. The weathering added an air of mystery and history to the mask which got him wondering about the story behind it and the culture that created it. When he put the object on his face, he lost all of his senses except for touch. This left him feeling disoriented and bewildered. However, he soon discovered that he could see through the swarm and gain access to their senses. This enhanced his own senses, giving him a 360-degree view of his surroundings. As soon as he went to feel the mask he realized it blended perfectly into his face making all his burn scars disappear.

As he put on every piece of the set, he noticed a surge in his senses and felt more powerful and connected to the swarm. The man sitting at the table finally took notice of him once he finished putting on the last piece. The man took off his glasses and began to examine Jacob from head to toe. As the man got closer to Jacob, he realized that he was feeling fear, which he had only felt before when facing the same beast that had left him with a desk job due to his injuries. He noticed that Jacob had no aura that could be seen through, but he could sense that Jacob was capable of killing him instantly if he wanted to. However, Jacob's aura quickly returned, albeit slightly stronger, causing the man to lose interest and sit back down.

Jacob had noticed that the man had stood up but quickly sat down, while he was curious about it he realized he needed to prepare for the upcoming battle prompting him to graba few potions and head to the gate.

Upon arriving at the gate, Jacob sensed a mystical presence lurking within its seemingly normal appearance. Despite his curiosity, he quickly forgot about exploring and pushed open both doors at once. As he gazed upon the seemingly endless plains, he noticed numerous unfamiliar beasts that had their sights set on him. Jacob remained vigilant, knowing that any lapse in his stance could lead to an attack.

Jacob was surrounded by monsters, their glowing eyes fixated on him as they snarled and growled. He knew he had to fight for his life, so he readied himself for battle by ordering his swarm to merge with him. The first monster charged at him, but he ducked and rolled out of the way, narrowly avoiding its deadly claws. He retaliated with a swift punch to the monster's face, causing it to stumble back. 

The other monsters lunged at him, but he was quick on his feet, dodging their attacks and striking back with his fists. The fight was intense and exhausting, but the man refused to give up. He fought with all his might, determined to survive. 

He used Athen to block deadly blows while simultaneously fighting back with Nosirin to prevent beasts from piling on him.

Finally, after what felt like hours, the last monster fell to the ground, defeated. Jacob stood victorious, panting and covered in sweat and blood, around him lay hundreds of insects some dead from exahaustion and some from the beats . He had won the fight, but at a great cost. His body ached and his wounds were deep, but he knew he had to keep going. For there were more monsters out there, waiting for him to take them on.

The battle lasted for several more hours, resulting in hundreds of fallen beasts. Jacob was lying on a pile of them, completely exhausted and near death. Athens and Nosirin were also tired and decided to rest in the swarm to recover. Fortunately, the beasts disappeared after Jacob's close brush with death. When he finally regained his strength and stood up, he noticed that the pile of beasts he was on had disappeared, indicating that he had been too tired to notice. Not soon after the gates he had come from swung open once again indicating how tired he was never noticing the shut at some point

After leaving the vast plains, he saw the lobby he had entered through at the end of the gate. When he turned back, he realized that he was in the same hallway he had passed through initially.
