Stairs

"Why the longer the walk, the harder it is??? Is this a legendary challenge like the one in the novels" Arga said excitedly?

"So then, isn't this a good thing, because in the end it's enough to just climb the ladder and with a strong determination without giving up, the results will come soon enough," Arga said again very happily after he realized the workings of the stairs he was currently going through.

But what Arga never thought was that even though the ladder seemed easy, it had many experiments that Arga could never have imagined, for example at this time when all of humanity is experiencing the same thing as Arga.

They are tested by climbing stairs which are getting harder and harder, it doesn't matter if they continue on their way and don't stop at certain stairs, because if they stop at certain stairs and they sit down Then next is the illusion of what is in their mind will be displayed soon.

A 30-year-old man who currently looks tired chooses to sit on the stairs, from his slightly fat body you can see beads of sweat flowing quite profusely, but if you look closely the number of stairs that he has passed does not seem to be more than stairs that have been passed by Arga.

"Huuu...why is this so tiring, taking a short break is a good thing," said the fat man while enjoying his break, "if only there was a cold glass of coke and an air-conditioned room it would be great" the fat man muttered and trying to imagine what he was thinking.

"Tring….. an air-conditioned room equipped with a glass of cold coke, suddenly appeared in front of the man, as if they had emerged from the realm of nothingness.

"Ehhh...is this real?" The fat pretender said excitedly.

Slapping his cheek and pinching his hand, he could feel the pain, so he decided that this wasn't a fantasy, immediately the fat man got up and entered the air-conditioned room, "Yeah....it's very comfortable here, see what it is??? A glass of coke with ice cubes" he exclaimed excitedly.

"Glup...gulp...gulp...ahhhh...so fresh," said the fat man but soon his eyes darkened, and he disappeared from there.

The same thing happens to many humans where those who feel tired and rest, imagine what is in their mind and for a moment the display is immediately available in front of them, until here of course nothing will happen if they do not take further action, it is unfortunate for those who continue to go further when what is in their minds has been successfully realized and they take it.

So in just a short period many of the humans who took the test failed because they could not contain their lust.

On the other hand, Arga that has climbed thousands of stairs now finally feels that he needs to rest, "ouch....so tired of climbing these stairs, how many have I passed" said Arga looking back, but soon he turned pale and turned back facing forward.

"Damn!!!...it's terrible looking back, it seems this staircase is very steep, not to mention the black color that is around, is enough to make people despair!!?" Arga said complaining.

"But now, I feel thirsty, if only there was a cold drink" Arga said knowingly when he felt thirsty, and for a moment a strange phenomenon occurred when suddenly there was a bottle of cold water on the next stairs, seeing this Arga became shocked.

"Haaaa...how is it possible, this bottled water appeared???" Arga said very surprisedly by the appearance of the bottled water.

"Let's see if it's real," Arga said as then he reached out and tried to reach for the bottled water, and he got it.

"What???? Really.....real???" Arga screamed in disbelief as he held a bottle of cold bottled water, staring at the water in front of him without realizing that Arga's throat was getting dry, especially when he saw the water droplets condensing from the cold bottle.

"Drink huh???" Arga said asking himself, in that confused state then a strange feeling of revenge suddenly surged from inside Arga's body, "ehhh....why with this feeling, is it right now to appear???" Arga complains when feelings of revenge suddenly surge within him, like telling him that he can't drink the bottle.

After regaining consciousness, Arga realized that what happened just now was a test, to test himself whether he could resist the urge to drink, but when he looked back at the water bottle that was still in his hand, Arga had to say that this was very real, so that he could be fascinated like that.

"Ok...get rid of it and carry on," Arga said to himself as if to tell that he was determined to continue, and strangely the feeling of revenge that was inside him which was initially rising sharply now suddenly receded, and slowly but surely there is a tendency to disappear.

Seeing this phenomenon, Arga knew that this was a warning given by the original owner of his body, so he couldn't be completely relieved when he saw Arga, he seemed very tempted by a bottle of cold drinking water, not to mention that there was a possibility that Arga would fail when he had drunk the water.

After realizing his mistake, Arga then continued his efforts to climb the stairs, only this time over time the thirst just disappeared and was replaced with a feeling of tiredness that flooded his whole body, and again Arga had to rest on a stair, because he is tired and his mind is not the focus of Arga then thinks and also fantasizes, "it would be nice if there was a soft mattress" Arga said unconsciously when he started to feel tired.

This of course can happen because the stairs that Arga is climbing are getting heavier and heavier. As for how heavy it is, it can be said that it is like giving a spoonful of water into a bucket, although it didn't feel like it was initially due to the amount poured, as time went on, more and more Arga climbed stairs, the spoon water poured into the bucket, of course, becomes more and more.

Not to mention that here Arga can be said to be alone, there is nothing else that accompanies him, moreover then the surroundings can be said to be dark and a tense and anxious atmosphere always hits him, even though Arga has a positive nature but often time passes with his condition like that slowly Arga's spirit must be scraped off.
