One step after the other, they helped him walk. His legs still felt like jelly, but helping him like that gave him the support that ensured he could try without fear of collapsing.They went over it, to and from the nearest wall for about twenty minutes before they put him down.Sitting on one side of the bed with his legs on the ground, he put in more effort.Little victories indeed because his legs were now like hardened jelly, instead of the soft jelly it was when he first stood up.Princess Diane laid down on the bed beside Aiden for a nap. She closed her eyes and finally got some sleep.Aiden continued to push his legs while Raven sat in the corner of the room. Andrew, Gadiel and Zakari left the room not too long after, returning to their room.The night returned to its ambient state of quiet until the early moments of dawn when the city slowly came to life.When Diane woke up, she opened her eyes to find that Aiden was not in his bed... She snapped to an upright position before

Walking through the gate, they found themselves in another crowd of people. The stair test had eliminated a lot of people but apparently, it had not done enough.They found their place among the crowd and proceeded to wait. The sun was coming up by now and light had started to flood the place.They could now make out the features of the people standing next to them. The same as everyone else did, they looked around to see those they would be competing with.They waited for about an hour when they saw people turn to look at the gate. Just three people were walking in, but you could see that they were important from their poise. They were like Princess Diane but they carried themselves a tad bit better than she would."Have you seen any of those who came from Sur?", Princess Diane asked Aiden."I have not", Aiden responded.The three girls walked to the front of the crowd without pause, and everywhere they passed, the crowd broke up and parted to let them through."Those three girls loo

"I'm surprised, Prince Adrian. Your sister has refused to show her face even when The Selection is starting… Does she despise being seen with the rest of her mates?", Griffin asked in a quiet voice that was still loud enough to be heard by those around them.Beside Adrian, Princess Caitlyn frowned, but asides from that, Griffin got no reactions from the two as they watched the scoreboards come to life with the first hundred names; all of which were at zero.Of course, a few eyes glanced at Adrian for a moment when they heard what Griffin said, but they knew the rivalry between the two, so it felt tedious to intervene.A few minutes later, a bright light shone from the direction of The Royal Palace. From the light, three people could be seen approaching the gathering.On the ground, there were a lot of people either standing or sitting to watch the test while above them, on platforms, the nobles, royals, and other important people sat on luxurious chairs to watch the test.Above all of

Not many of those watching noticed the cracked glass phenomenon that the projection captured and showed to them, but those who did almost had their eyes popping out of their sockets.This reaction was seen on the faces of the more important people sitting above the crowd on the ground. Their reactions grew even more exaggerated when they saw Princess Eleanor and the group of noble scions standing in front of the barrier.Looks were exchanged and Emperor Ivrea called out to one of the three dressed in robes, that came with him on the floating platform."Find me Ajax?", he said.The man also had a look of urgency on his face and nodded when he heard the order. He vanished from the spot, leaving lightning in his tracks… It was hardly five seconds later when he appeared again with small arcs of lightning slowly fading from his body.Beside him, the old and familiar Lord Ajax appeared out of a small ripple, as if he faded into existence; the exact opposite of what it would like to fade out

A day and night passed and the participants were left to explore what they could of the city. Many also came back to the central city, breaking through the inner city's barrier when they heard what had happened.The drive to fall on a pile of gold while wandering drew them to the city, and soon everything to be seen in the city was reported found.From the restaurants that had an automated process to get food paid for with points to the price of most of the apartments available to stay in, to the shops and everything they sold. Of course, they were all automated.By Andrew's suggestion, they had disguised themselves as best as they could and blended in with the crowd running into the inner city's lodge. His thoughts were that people had seen them enter the inner city first, it would be bad news to be hunted again… This he said with a reference to the hunt they escaped with Raven's Boss and his crew.They picked up bits and pieces of information as they moved and soon, they left to find

"Flank it… Attack now… Dodge… It lost its balance, attack it now…"This was the conversation between Gadiel and Zakari as they tried to kill a third-order briwyn. They ran circles around it and attacked when they saw openings… They covered for each other whenever the briwyn hyper-focused on one of them specifically.Although it took some time to kill the briwyn using this method, they were able to do it. They clapped each other's hands in celebration of the kill and watched the briwyn slowly disintegrate into hundreds of light particles that soon faded away."With this kill, we should have enough for the third-order potions we need", Gadiel said amidst laughter."Just stay quiet, we have to leave this place, we can't have someone taking a 30% cut us", Zakari cautioned him. Unfortunately, his warnings came too late and they heard an unfamiliar voice say words those exact words they dreaded."Oh, come now, you can't expect to leave like this without paying your dues"Gadiel and Zakari f

"Miss Raven, I get the feeling that you have broken through, am I correct?", Andrew said as they walked out of the city and back to the city."Yes, I have… It is quite a pain to do something like this all over again but I believe I am doing quite well"A few more topics just like this one was raised to keep the conversations going, but they soon ran out of things to talk about and instead, focused on walking back to the city.They were indeed walking but it would be more apt to describe their movement through the forest as glitching… A pace Gadiel and Zakari had to be carried along for them to keep up.Soon, they burst through the forest into open grounds, and directly in front of them was a gate that stood tall and closed…People were going into the city, and they even formed a line to do it… This city had a moat and people looking after its doors… No one was allowed into the city without payment of points.This was without doubt in no way, the central city—A discovery that was made

"Reinhardt… Who is Reinhardt?!"The questioning look from Princess Diane lasted only a moment before it was replaced by a look of remembrance and recognition."Reinhardt...", Diane called."Your Highness, it is so nice to see you. We stayed and looked all over for you and him, but we did not find a trace of you", Reinhardt said as he pulled off his disguise.The moment he took the disguise off, he vanished from where he was standing and the next moment he appeared, he had two people punching at him.Their attacks were just as sudden as his dash, and this drove him to a halt before he retreated."He might need a beating", Raven said with her usual wicked smile wiped off her face."Indeed", Andrew echoed a response.Both their expressions showed that they meant business at that moment, but so did Reinhardt's. His gaze was locked onto Aiden and it looked like he was ready to tear Aiden apart piece by piece."Okay, everyone, please try to calm down", Aiden said. "Raven, Andrew... Put away

Breakdown (1)
The crowd was pulled from the tragedy that the nobles caused, and some people started to point to the group suspended above them, whispering and murmuring various pieces of gossip.This was a topic that excited them all, however, the ones who were most excited for the revelation were the nobles who finally knew the people who beat them to occupy the highest floor of the tower.They did not hide the wicked grins on their faces and Aiden saw these grins on their faces. He also saw that the group were starting to descend from the sky into the midst of the crowd. That was bad and was quickly made worse when he noticed the nobles setting their hounds on the group.He could guess their thoughts. Even if the group was stronger than they were, given the position they occupied, they did not believe it and wanted to know for themselves how powerful they were.This gave Aiden a headache and his mind began to spin quickly, looking for a big enough distraction that would give the group a chance to

Chapter 149: Unexpected Changes
None could ask the other for help because each had someone attacking them, however, they were not noble scions for nothing. Despite being overpowered by the golems, they dealt some damage over time.It was not immediately obvious, but they managed to hold their own, and avoid grievous injuries even though there were several close calls.It took them each about an hour to circumvent their respective golems and deal enough damage to break through their chests.Hadrian was the first followed by Oscar shortly after with Tristan clocking in third, a few seconds behind Oscar. He was unhappy with this but he had no time to be unhappy because his face soon changed into a somber look. Oscar who had just tried to pick up the glowing multi-coloured orb was surprised to find the orb roll away from him and float up to meet the orb that came from Tristan’s golem. This also meant that the orb in Hadrian’s hand was the only one that remained.Oscar and Tristan noticed this, but they could do nothin

Chapter 148: Three Noble Scions
No one cared who had said that word because they all ran. The sight of the gray tentacles rising like pillars from the depths of the abyss was enough to scare every one of them.At the same moment, there was a rumble that spread across the skies of the city at that moment. Everyone heard it. Aiden, sitting in the restaurant was jolted from his thoughts and joined everyone else as they looked up at the ruin.He witnessed a few of the tentacles of the beast appear on the edge of the ruin as he had seen before they entered the ruin.‘That bridge, huh? They might be lucky enough to escape'.He did not care much if these people beat the ruin and made it to the temple. He had gotten his rewards and he was happy with that.Tristan and his group had immediately dashed off the bridge, but the tentacles came down on the bridge at a lightning-fast speed.This attack ripped the bridge apart, leaving just three people from Tristan’s group unscathed.Tristan’s face was painted with horror like ever

Aiden was dumbfounded. How was this a reward? It simply contradicted itself. The problem it caused was having him be a prime target for the Zaltyr, but it would also save him from them once.Then, is the mark erased once the life-saving opportunity is used?[Yes, everything returns to normal after that]This made him heave a sigh of relief. He tried to look at this from a positive perspective. This meant the mark was not meant to specifically protect him from the Zaltyr, its main purpose was to protect him from every other thing that tried to kill him.Thinking about it this way made it easier to accept the fact that he was going to be in trouble with the Zaltyr sooner or later, albeit only slightly.Elder Zarek watched Aiden go through his thoughts for a few minutes while he thought of the command he had received from The World Seed.Aiden had recovered his thoughts at this point and decided to check on his elemental seed. He was elated to see the changes to his elemental seed.The mu

Chapter 146: Mark of the Primordial World Seed
None of the thirty remaining survivors was stupid and they took things as calmly as they could. There was no visible harm to resting till a problem was identified and this was something they unanimously agreed on.As they expected, there was something that was out of the ordinary and it was found after two hours of waiting.The quiet rumble that came from the depths of the chasm was enough of a wake-up call.Theo of the Arco twins was the one who made the first comment, breaking the silence. None of them believed that crossing the bridge would be easy from the start, however, the realization that some unknown danger lurked beneath was enough to bring them flashbacks of their time in the maze.“There’s something down there as well? Why is this trial so difficult?”“Good thing we were patient…”“Patient? What does that do for us?”“Theo is not completely wrong. Every stage of the trials had been harder than the last”, Oscar took a deep breath.“Indeed… Something that can cause such a ru

Chapter 145: Separated By Trials
“You just had to jinx it?”Raven rolled her eyes in response.The orb glowed and the rubble spread across the hall was drawn to it. One piece after the other, they mashed together and barely a moment later, a statue had formed.This statue looked the same as the ones they fought before, save for a few important differences. One, this new statue was massive, at least three times as tall. Two, the statue now had a weapon – A halberd which it swung around. Three, most importantly, it had lines running all over its body. Looking close enough these lines were runes just like the ones Aiden and the rest had, but these were very close to being complete, easily dwarfing the ones they had.Their expressions turned grave as the glowing eyes of the massive statue locked onto them.It was a golem, and it wasted no time. With a roar that sounded like thunder, it wielded its halberd and charged at them.There was no running from it, because, a sweep of its halberd made the hall feel claustrophobi

Chapter 144: The Stone Guardians
Raven who had suggested was the first to move, and the moment she did, everyone else followed her one after the other. They got to the stone coffin amidst their careful creeping without any problems. The unnerving feeling that they felt from the statues kept them on their toes as they expected everything to go wrong at any moment. "Now what", Raven asked. Aiden and Connor stepped here, and as he instructed; "Keep an eye out", the two of them pushed the lid off the stone coffin. They were right to be worried, because the moment the stone coffin opened slightly, light burst out of the opening. They were taken aback by this absurd light show, however, the light was like a tonic, one that breathed life into the surrounding. Life into the several warrior statues that lined the walls. Each of their eyes opened with a snap, glowing a bright orange, followed by cracks that came from the loosening of the joints on the statues. Gadiel was the first to speak regret about the situation, but

With Aiden and Connor leading the way, they stepped onto the rope bridge. The silence that fell on them at that was quite unnerving, but it helped them keep their focus. This meant that their reactions were spot on as they responded immediately to Aiden making any signals.This was the moment that they finally understood the danger that lay in the chasm beneath them. Apart from the scary chasm that looked like a bottomless pit, a sight that already promised them death should they fall into it, there was something else living in the chasm, and the dreadful atmosphere it brought with evidence of its existence sent chills running their spines. The conclusion here was very simple, there was trouble and they needed to be careful.Listening carefully, they heard the silent rumbles gradually fade away, taking with it the tense atmosphere they felt. You would expect Aiden to make a sudden dash to get across as quickly as possible, but he didn't. He was taking no chances, so continued steadily

"Three days?!", Raven started."Oh, don't get worked up, it was more like two and a half days", Princess Eleanor chipped in.Unfortunately, this did not change the reaction Raven had; in fact, her reaction got worse at that moment as she got frantic and almost lost her mind as she looked around."Calm down, Raven. Things are not as bad as you think. We are out of the grassland maze; of course, we had to wait for everyone to de-petrify before we continued…", Deirdre explained."So, what trial do we have now?", Raven asked and immediately got a response."Oh, the long rope bridge, strung across the chasm that has a tentacled beast living in it", Deirdre responded like that piece of information was of no consequence.Raven was silent as she stared off into space for a moment. When she got her mind back, she asked almost immediately… "Are we crossing now that I am awake?"A question to which Princess Eleanor answered in a snarky and sarcastic tone… "Hopefully". Her comment got a few gazes
