Final Entrance Test

The first rays of sunlight had just begun to peek over the horizon, casting a warm glow over the forest. The air was still and calm, and the only sound was the gentle rustling of leaves and the distant chirping of birds. The morning had come, and with it, the final hours of the entrance test.

Many participants had already returned to the entrance of the forest, having completed their portion of the test. They gathered in small groups, chatting excitedly and exchanging stories of their adventures in the wilderness. Some looked weary and battered, their clothes torn and faces scratched, while others appeared fresh and energized, ready to take on the world.

As the minutes ticked by, more and more participants emerged from the forest, their footsteps soft and cautious as they made their way back to the starting point. Some carried the beast they contracted from their journey, while others had nothing to show for their efforts.
