Conversation and Planning Their Next Steps

A stunned silence fell over the group as Reign's words sank in, the implication behind them almost suffocating. The Hell Trials were real, not mere simulations as the trials before them. If what Reign suspected was indeed true, then all the opponents they had faced so far were real beings, including the giants they had first faced, the abominations, everything.

But then, were the locations real as well?

That couldn't be true as the ranch was simply too weird to be real, not to mention that the lake had suddenly appeared nearby and was not present before, as was the forest. Was the system somehow bringing beings into a simulated space it had created, or in the case of the forest and the wolf, did it bring an entire area for the trial?

"So … that is the reason why death is true in the Hell Trials, it's because they are not simulations, but real places, real enemies that we have gone up against."
