Worthless Genius

Third Volume: Eldertree Institute.

Ilkin opened a door and took a hold of a lantern hanging by the door, then, with a flick of a switch, a small, gentle fire lit up inside the lantern.

It gave enough light to cover the small room.

The room was slightly bigger than a bathroom, with two small sofas pushed up against the walls.

There was another door in the middle of the two sofas. It was closed. However, there was a sign on top of the door that read "Culling Chamber," and its letters were made of timber.

"Please wait here." Ilkin said with a smile. "Your partner will soon join you."

'Partner?' Adam raised an eyebrow, nodded, and entered the small room, then took a seat by one of the sofas.

Ilkin and Willibert left, closing the door behind them.

'Eldertree Institute, I have heard a great deal of stories of this place.'

Adam looked above the door at the lettered word. It made him frown.
