Jin thought about the meaning behind the non-existent rules in this test, as the drums of cryptical death sounded in his ears and even penetrated his body to shake his core.

He collected himself and looked back at the dark path behind him, where someone was softly singing; jin heard the words clearly:

"Go back, Go back

Go back, Go back

Go back to my embrace

As we did before

Like we used to be"

The voice was sweet and thin, perhaps like an angelic child's voice.

"What the fuck!? What is this now?" Jin cursed hearing the harmony, and apprehensibly the music also faded with each swear.

Threads twisted, making a frowning face.

The path was agitated from his stoppage; the threatening creature behind him was pacing back and forth more viciously as the hot atmosphere turned chillier; colder to the point that the floor becomes sharp frost, hurting his knees and daring him to walk more.

"Dance with me!" The voice was almost coming from the bony chains, repeatedly saying, "Dance with me!"

It twitched more, this time deforming itself to a woman, even though it was made out of bones, extremely sharp bones, the figure was beautifully made; it appeared to be giving him her hand, tempting him to dance a dance of grave pain.

"Qin?" The creature whispered from the back.

«Qin? Isn't this the name of my mother?» he gaped.

The bone doll made an expression of sheepness like the owner of the voice was the last thing it wanted to meet, "Don't let him see me!" she thought beggingly.

"Huh!?" jin didn't know what was happening; drum noises hurt his soul, screeching sounds damaged his thoughts, and now he's watching a terrifying conflict between two dangerous creatures.

"Stopping was not an option, and certainly Crawling faster was also not an option either," he thought, As the mists of the path curled between his feet, and the soft air touched him, stirring his hair, drifting against his fingers.

The path begged him to come and have a dance; before its eyes, the doll looked so warm, so charming and elegant, and extensively intoxicating. The fog intensified around it more, and jin started to see his mother figure.

At that moment, he briefly forgot his new identity, "Jin Yan." completely overlooking the earlier events about who was Chun, Xia, or anyone he met in this realm.

Jin reminisced about the days back home; there wasn't something he wanted more than to hug his mother and feel tenderness.

Just a couple of inches, and he can grope her embrace again; he wanted to stand up and run straight into the bones, but who is the ghost bullshiting? His mother was never this nice, the number of ass whopping she gave him trespassed the hundreds, and most grandly, she didn't have such a wicked smile.

The ghost made a huge mistake giving this characteristic to the doll, which made jin understand precisely what he really wanted from him.

"Panic and kill myself? Huh?" Is this what that bastard attended for me to do all along?

He sat down and closed his eyes, ignoring everything happening outside.

...

I might've cracked the code of this test;

Looking back at it, every time I stop to take a breath, the path intensity its conditions; nonetheless, it still a big gamble; what if I'm wrong and staying still is the wrong answer?

I had very few minutes to decide what I should do, either stop or proceed.

But I had a big hunch about stopping; hence, it felt more logical, no rules, no requirements, only a timer, and horrifying conditions; what does stopping me from leisurely resting? I wasn't even told to do anything in the first place.

"00:7:00"

And I waited for the few passing minutes to silently tick, as my heartbeat fluttered rhythmically with the timer.

Thus, I had some time to talk with my system, as it might be the last time.

"Oye, I just want to tell you that it was an incredible journey till now; if I died, make sure to be as rude as now to the one who will replace me," I said.

<Replace you? I am going to be also deemed useless if you failed and will get tortured with you for an eternity in hell>

"Shit! Are you coming with me to the party? Nice!" I chimed.

Almost crying, the system said:

<Yeah, bastard, I hope my baby system is doing okay>

"Damn! Can systems have babies too?" I excitedly said.

<Asshole! Are you accusing me of infertility?>

«Damn, the system seems more emotional than me!»

"... No! Of course not; I also hope your wife and babies are doing okay." jin had an awkward cough and couldn't help himself from asking in a shallow tone, "How do the systems reproduce?"

<I knew you are going to ask me that! None of your business!>

"Ok, ok, don't get mad; I just wanted to express that your pretty amazing." jin hardly uttered the words of praise and decided to gave a name to his system, "Ah! I forgot to name you something,"

His sentence was cut short halfway by the system.

<Oh, I always wanted to get a name; from your memories, the coolest person on the earth was Keanu Reeves>

"Wait, you want me to name yourself Keanu? What system name is that, and besides Keanu is the epitome of serenity, I can't let the minotaurs of hell sully such heavenly name when calling our names to get whipped!"

<It's either Keanu or no name!>

"Hmph! Not happening!" Jin argued.

Following their conversation, the ticks reached their end, and the timer stabilized in a clear, "00:00:00".

Shifting my gaze, I blew some warm breath on my hands and observed the outcome.

A buzzing noise hit my ears.
