Kai breathed intensely and the creak of the elevator door opening penetrated his ear. With his sword in his hand, he turned and walked into the elevator .Ding! The elevator stopped and its door slid open with a cold hiss which revealed  the sixth level of the Pit of Trial. A wave of eerie silence greeted Kai as he stepped forward and his flaming sword hummed faintly in his grip.Kai stepped out of the elevator with  caution. The room was unnaturally dark, only a faint bleak of crimson light pulsating through the walls like a beating heart illuminated the darkness. ‘Why is this place so dark?’ Kai's eyes gleaned thin as he asked himself. Just then, the system pinged, System Pinged.‘Warning: High-level threat detected.Level Six Monster: One Entity.Type: Phantom Apex Wraith.Power: TERMINAL Class.New Mission: Successfully Dodge 20 consecutive attacks from the Wraith to unlock the Advanced

Kai groaned as he tried to rise to his feet, but the pressure of the wind pushed him back down like an invisible hand. The wind howled through the chamber like a screaming banshee.Before him, the monstrous figure stepped forward with the storm radiating around it. A tall wind elemental beast, humanoid in form but wrapped in eternal rush of wind. Its voice thundered through the room.“This is your end.” He echoed.Without moving, the monster’s eyes glowed and in an instant, a blazing wind-laced laser blasted from its gaze and it  struck Kai’s arm.“Ahrgh!” He cried out, but the System chimed almost immediately.‘System alert!Immortality Skill Tree: Regeneration Active… Damage Repair in Progress…’After the echo from the system, Kai's skin knitted and his bones were reformed. The pain dulled.But Still, the wind wouldn’t let him rise.Kai was angry. He wanted to d

The elevator doors slid open with a hush sound. Kai stepped onto Level 10 which is the final floor of the Pit of Trial breathing slowly.His eyes caught the glimpse of the room. As soon as Kai walked into the room, there was total silence - no monsters, no threats and not even the usual system ping. “Is this it?” Kai whispered while his eyes dart around the empty chamber in surprise. He thought it would be like other levels where enemies appear almost immediately. But this… was a different one. The room was vast, round, with dark corners but there were no visible exits. The air felt heavy and thick as it blew across Kai's face.Far away, underneath the Ironsphire academy, the Shadow Man watched while he was seated on the obsidian chair. His eyes glowed with intense fury.“He made it this far. Even picked up that poweful armor in Level 9 of the pit of trial,” he spat with disgust. “But he won’t survive this.

Silence fell over the shattered chamber of Level 10. The students watched in anticipation.As the clash explosion smoke slowly faded, only one figure squeezed. His fist clenched.Kai rose to his feet. His body was bruised while breathed heavily, but stood and his feet didn't tremble. His opponent, the dominion-tier dwarf, crumbled into dust and vanished into the light. At that same moment, Kai’s sword reappeared, materializing in his hand as if summoned by his victory.Outside in the Observation Hall, gasps turned into cheers. Students jumped from their seats and some shouted in disbelief.  “He did it!” Xiren Wren echoed from where she sat. “Kai Draven actually survived!” Darius Vane's lips curved with excitement.“Wait… wasn’t that a Dominion Tier?! Why wasn’t it just a God-tier like usual? Something’s not right…” One of the students became suspicious.Amid the confusion and celebrat

The rogue students stormed Ironspire with fury. They were in time past expelled for rebellion, violence, and criminal behavior, they harbored hatred towards the school, and now, they returned to set the school on fire. Blades were drawn with vengeance burning in their eyes.Screams of students echoed through the campus as chaos erupted again.But this time, Kai stood in their path.With his sword gleaming and his armor shining with latent divine energy, Kai charged into the battle.One by one, the rogue attackers fell. They were all crushed under the might of a student who had survived the Pit of Trial and struck down a Dominion-tier opponent.Then after he had eliminated them all. It remained one person, it was their fierce leader. He was a muscular young man with scars across his face. His blood boiled in rage.  The clash was intense. Blows met blows and sparks flew. But ultimately, Kai stood victorious when the
