6 First Trial

Yin Ying took and looked at the chain-sickle. Yin Yu don't know why she took it, but after she touches some part of the weapons, a satisfied look appear on her faces, she throws the weapon in front of Yin Yu and says.

"Fufu, as expected of my son, then you can take it while following me to the next room."

Hearing his mother words, Yin Yu quickly go and take chain-sickle, but after he decides to lift it, he realizes one thing.

'HEAVY! , why is it so HEAVY!?. It's not that big yet why's it so heavy.!?'

After Yin Yu realize that he can't carry it with his current strength, he decides to ask his mom to help but…..

"Mom…, can you help me carry this for now?. I'm too weak to carry this now."

"...…"

Yin Ying only continues to walk into the back of the mountain of weapons while ignoring him.

'My mother is ignoring me? How could it be!?, she always cares for me like I'm the most precious treasure in the world and always comes when I call, but she's ignoring her cute little child now!?.'

Filled with grief, while looking at his mom disappearing back, Yin Yu decide to left his chain-sickle and rush to his mother sides, yet unexpectedly he crashes into something while he tried to run to his mom direction and tumbling back to the floor.

"Only those with their chosen weapon can enter the barrier. If you didn't have your chosen weapon with you, you would never be able to enter the barrier."

Hearing that emotionless words, Yin Yu start to wonder if that's genuinely his mom voices, looking at his surroundings there's a mountain of weapons and he didn't even know where did he come in from.

Thinking a bit, Yin Yu decide to choose other weapons that's easier for a baby like him to carry such as a dagger. When he tried to move to the barrier again with the dagger in hand, unexpectedly he still crashes into the barrier and tumbles back into the floor.

Even without any notice from his mom, Yin Yu realize what goes wrong this time, the weapon of his choice is the chain-sickle and not that dagger, he didn't know how the barrier programmed, but he knows that he needs to carry the weapon he chooses to be able to cross the barrier.

Yin Yu decide to try to lift it again, but it's still so heavy! And he feels that his arm may break if he forces to lift it up!.

Without any choice, Yin Yu start to grab the sickle while dragging the weight that attached to it. Even the sickle is so heavy, so how heavy the weight must be!?.

Yin Yu realize that he has made a blunder by choosing this weapon without observing it first.

Even though Yin Yu regret it, when he remembers his father words, Yin Yu decide to try harder.

Yin Yu drag the chain-sickle to the barrier step by step and finally after 10 minutes dragging with all of his strength, He can finally able to cross the barrier and saw an entrance to a cave.

Thinking whether to rest to recover some stamina first or whether to goes to check out the cave first. Yin Yu decided to try to move to the cave without his chain-sickle, and as expected, there's also barrier here hence he decides to rest first before entering.

"Ah, my arms hurt and feet hurt!, my whole body is hurt!, I wanna go home! I wanna go home!"

Yin Yu scream with all of his power all so that his mother will have some sympathy yet not even a shadow can be seen which makes him even more dejected. He decided to sleep for now since he feels sleepy after exhausting his stamina.

Unknown to him, his mother was watching him from afar while cheering on him.

"You can do it!"

With some tears in her eyes, she resolves herself and then she blends into the shadow.

Morning has come, or so Yin Yu thought since he just woke up and can't decide whether this is day or night now.

He can feel that his muscle are sore and he's feeling hunger and thirst yet his mother hasn't shown up and help him like before, some sadness flash through his eyes but even more so determination!.

"I'm only three years old, and I have faced such a hardship! the way of a king is tough to tread on!"

While suffering, Yin Yu decided to say some words to comfort himself.

'This is the trial for a King of Catastrophe like me! If I can't even finish it, I may go and change my job into King of Clown!. '

"ah, life is tough for the great me, but nothing will stop my path!. I'll show my parents that they have born the greatest son ever!"

With newfound confidence, Yin Yu start to drag his chain-sickle again into the cave.

'Dark! It's too dark! I can't even see anything in this cave! It's so dark that I feel I'll lose my way easily!.'

Some thoughts about giving up and return to the cave entrance flash through his mind but without him realizing, Yin Yu can't even see the entrance anymore!. Because of that, he decides to press on and move forward.

Yin Yu didn't know how long he has been here, this place makes him nostalgic, yet he didn't know what's so nostalgic about it.

Yin Yu didn't know how many times he trips or crash into the wall, his body tells him that he's hungry and thirsty at the same times, his muscle was so sore that he didn't even know where did he get this strength to carry his chain-sickle, yet one thing he knows is to keep moving forward.

He's afraid, afraid that if he put down his chain-sickle to rest, he might not be able to find it anymore after he searched for it, he'll not be able to find it in this dark places if he lost it. Hence he grips it firmly and not letting it down.

He's afraid, afraid that if he stops for a while, his hunger and thirst will make him lost his initial strength which results in loss of strength hence he keep moving forward for hopes of food and drink on the other sides.

He's afraid, afraid that he'll not be able to get out of this dark places if he rests just for a bit. Hence he didn't stop to rest even once when he's here.

Yin Yu didn't know how long he has walked. Even his eyes have despair written on it, yet he still chooses to move forward until he feels some wind pass by him which makes him lost his strength.

Even though that wind makes him lost some of his strength, it also makes him know that he's near the exit! he grits his teeth and says to himself.

"Just a bit more…. Just a bit more…."

Little by little, he can see a light which fills him with hope, with all of his strength, he rushed to the light and heard his mother voices before he passed out from fatigue.

"Congratulation, you have passed the first trial."
