Everyone present was shocked after Ichor announced how the test would happen, but they did not have the time to complain as all of them vanish right after he was done talking. They were not inside the volcano anymore, or at least did not seem like it. The place Ichor teleported everyone looked exactly like a normal forest. Some animals one could find in the outside world were there, and it was impossible to tell they were inside a dimensional realm. Arthur was there, but Signy and Helga weren’t. It…

Signy and Helga already had a deep impression of Arthur, as he was someone strong, but after seeing how he truly looked, the admiration they had for him increased. One thing was an old man who was strong after training for years; another thing was a youth who had the same level of power. In their eyes, Arthur was someone talented enough to be called a genius, and that was not an exaggeration. “Who are these people?” Arthur saw countless youths that were strong, and three of them were at the tenth…

Arthur was hurt everywhere on his body, and with his current appearance of an old man, he looked rather pitiful. What waited for him after he passed through that door was an open green field which did not look like it was part of a volcano. There were trees everywhere, but the main part of it was a garden in the middle with strange herbs filled with vitality. He saw it, right in the middle of that garden, an enormous tree with strange golden fruits. The moment he looked at it, both bloodlines inside his…

The floor Arthur was on was pure darkness. Even with his improved eyesight, it was hard to see it properly, but there was one thing Arthur could see without problems; red eyes. Red eyes stared at him from all directions. These eyes were like a hunter, and he was like the prey. A feeling of discomfort grew within, and Arthur did not want to stay in such a place for much longer. “What type of creatures are these?” Whatever it was, it did nothing but to stare. Although the staring made him feel bad, it…

They took turns. Arthur cast a golem of his own and made it move towards the door in the front. After it got killed, the man from the Doom Order would do the same, and so on. One thing they did was to mark the tiles that were safe, and the ones that they found traps in it. “We still don’t know if the tiles are static or change. So, after we find a safe path towards the door, we shall first send another golem to test the waters.” Arthur said. He was being careful after hearing George say those…

“What direction should we take first?” Arthur said. The first room was empty, but it had doors at their front, right and left. Arthur had a strong guess that these first rooms could have some traps to stop intruders before they could even take a glance at what was behind those doors. Rolf had the same guess, so all of them stood still in one place, not moving an inch towards one of these doors. The room was big, so it had plenty of space for all of them. “This room surely has some traps, but what…

The journey took a few more days. No one was sure how long it took, as their time perception was messed up inside that dimensional space. But finally, after enduring lots of fights against the beasts, they finally reached the volcano. It was huge. Arthur and the others were at the base, and when looking up, one could not see the top of it. Now that they were closer, it was possible to see a tunnel that led towards the insides of the volcano. “Something was built inside of it. Maybe the place where the…

Something felt off about the place they were in. Arthur felt someone was watching their every move, waiting for them to make a mistake and then punish them. Maybe it was just his head playing tricks on him, but Arthur was someone that believed in his instincts. All the others only thought the place was weird, dangerous, and nothing more. Even Rolf, who was someone from a higher realm, felt that way, too. “Am I over-thinking?” The more they went toward the volcano, the fewer people were with them,…
-
Arthur and Rolf took the lead, with lots of members from the Doom Order following closely behind. Signy, Helga and Finn were also there, adding up to 20 people in total. They all returned to the first hall, where one could choose from three sides. “We already explored both right and left. There is nothing but day-to-day rooms.” Rolf said. He came with the hopes of easily getting the treasures, but it was not as easy as it seemed. The door needed a sacrifice, and one coming from a powerful mage. Rolf…
-
The two of them went to another room, right beside where everyone else was. With the help of a spell cast by the leader, there was no way they could hear anything they said inside that room. “Who exactly are you?” It was the first question the leader asked, but one that Arthur was not willing to answer. “My identity is not the point of this conversation, but the treasure of this place is. What can you tell me about it?” Arthur said. George was still linked, so he was seeing and hearing…
