Magnus was reincarnated in a magic world. He led a simple life on Earth and that was something he liked rather than being dragged into conflicts or into adventures to save the world or something like that. He never cared to be the MC but hoped that he would have a pleasant life, much better than his previous life. Whether he could or not, read the tales to see. ---
I started to climb the stairs.
When I took my first step, I felt nothing. It was the same for the second, third and so on. It wasn't until the hundredth step that I first felt a light tingle.
Even then, it was almost negligible. I felt nothing, so I continued to climb on.
Every hundred steps I could feel that the strain started to increase. After five hundred, it started to increase every ten steps and after reaching seven hundred, it became every five steps.
It was not like the strain didn't increase for every step taken but I didn't feel much difference.
The real trial started after I reached the nine hundredth step.
From then onwards, for every step taken, I can feel the stinging pain caused to my soul.
This trial was as I thought it would be. This was testing my soul but for what purpose? I was able to reach this far because my soul energy was very high.
