First Trial Of Power

As a girl was walking, she was shivering and rubbing both her hands together. She was wearing a white plain skirt as her skin was blue. Even when she was cold she kept walking straight.

She had been walking for a few years trying to find shelter and use her intent but to no avail. She tried to make a igloo by hand but the ice seemed to have a consciousness of its own as it always gets blown away.

She had also died a couple of times but woke up fine, it even made her feel the cold decrease slightly. She offed herself a few times but realise nothing changed as she shrugs. The temperature seemed to increase when she dies of coldness.

'Its not that easy but where is Tang Nuan?'

As she has been trying to find Tang Nuan and is now very concerned for her. Tang Nuan was after all a system for a large portion of her life. She was deeply concerned about her mental state, scared that she will go insane.

Though that is the case, there are some silver linings.

In this world, she can use her eye of law. It allowed her to see the world in dense dark blue specks of lights. As she kept walking straight, she abruptly stopped. Something seemed to have click in her head as she opens her mouth to make a barely audible hoarse sound.

"igloo."

The word was used with the concept of ice as it made a small igloo.

But stopped as soon as she started, she stopped as her breathing halted and she trembled. A black glitch figure appeared.

[Realm Condition has found you]

She ran and fell as her legs slowly turned to ice. She started crawling as her arms froze. She used her intent to twist her head off and used her intent to control her body as a meat shield.

As denial appeared in front of her body, it kissed it making it explode in a beautiful rain of blood and shooting her head backwards into the snow.

Then, the figure just vanished. Ai Lim's head burned as she was already unconscious. This had happened every hour for these few years.

It would first, immobilise her. Then kill her, it would use a variety of styles, burning her, kicking her, punching her, piercing her and etc, but all of the methods had one thing in common. She needed to be touched but she subconsciously felt from her intent that, it touching and killing would increase something. She still hasn't found out that something.

As Ai Lim slowly woke up, she saw her body and just sighed for the hundredth of time this happened.

'Death is so damn meaningless.'

She had died so many times, death has become numb, death was still scary but actually dying felt so dull like a horror movie that she watched for the millionth.

In a snow world the wind blows and walking can be heard. The sky was filled by a large clock as it looked down on the eternally snowing land.

"Where oh where are you, come out to play~" She walked across the snowy world. She was twirling her dagger. Her face and body changing every so often. From a grotesque monster with concentrated eyes and a physique of a blob to a being that was glitching in reality, it was mind boggling and weird.

Tang Nuan was covering her mouth. Hiding behind a small wall of ice as she was shaking from the cold. It has been months. She has been gathering information till now and she now thinks she can clear this trial. She looks up in hope as she looks at the clock.

[6 months 15 days 2 minutes 5 seconds]

She hears steps as she runs with speed like never before. She staggered once in a while and looked back frantically. As fast as her adult body could move. As everything goes black for her. She has died...again.

As Tang Nuan wakes up, she finds herself in a small igloo as she sees a girl sleeping. She broke down in tears as she hugs her.

The girl wakes up surprised to see a living being. When she looks again, she was happy. To finally reunite with a friend but she kept silent while hugging and patting her back and head. Allowing her to cry out all her suppressed sadness. Both of them were trapped in a snow world for years. One with a sadistic killer while the other filled with loneliness. They just wanted some peace. As they slowly fell asleep.
