Test?

...

Opening his eyes, Lucien, he saw himself on a plain, very large and green. Looking to the right, he saw many plantations, birds singing, and rabbits playing. To his left, he saw many trees, a huge lake, and various fruits. Above, he saw the sun shining, and a majestic figure ... Chris.

Meanwhile, Lucien was on the ground, looking very determinedly at Chris.

"The first test. It's a test, which shows your determination, and talent. "

Chris spoke, levitating a few feet away from Lucien.

Hearing about talent, Lucien's eyes showed a trace of sadness, but soon they were determined again.

Chris, seeing that Lucien, had no doubt, then snapped his fingers, and a very majestic staircase appeared in front of him.

The staircase had more than 1,000 steps, and if a God saw it, it would certainly be very shocking, after all, this is a universal treasure, and even the strongest Gods, do not possess a treasure of that caliber.

...

"Your goal is simple, you just have to climb as many steps as you can."

Chris said, smiling as if this were the simplest thing in the world.

But, Lucien, he knew it was not so easy, since, even from a distance, he was already feeling the aura of the stairs, choking him. But, he did not show fear or nervousness. Taking three steps, he was already in front of the stairs.

Letting out a cold breath, he went to his first step ... He was not feeling anything and gaining a little confidence, he went up.

Second Step ... Third Step ... Fourth Step ... Sixth Step ...

When he finally reached his sixth step, he felt, even weakly, an aura that was putting him down, and suffocating him. At first, he did not pay much attention and kept climbing.

Eighth Step ... Ninth Step ... Tenth Step ...

On his tenth step, his body became twice as heavy, his bones creaking as his blood rose to his head.

" P-Heavy ."

Lucien murmured, resting a little.

"I forgot to mention, but ... The higher you go, the stronger the pressure."

Chris said, smiling, but internally, he was a little surprised.

'This child is very talented, to reach the ninth step, without feeling any aura about himself ... Even my best disciple did not get this done, the first time.'

Chris thought, smiling, excitedly.

...

Lucien, though utterly tired and heavy, was already in his fortieth step. His goal was simple, he climbed two steps and rested for a minute, doing this several times, he was already very tall.

Chris, already a little shocked, in his entire life, he never saw, no person who did not have the talent altered by his system, manage to climb more than thirty steps, at least not in a mortal world.

Lucien, he did not stop, he kept going up ... Forty-first ... Forty-second ... Forty-third ... Soon, he already reached the fiftieth step, his feet were very sore, his ears were sizzling, many veins were appearing in his face or legs, he had already reached eight or nine times his own weight.

"Give up Lúcien, even if you do not pass, you have already proved your determination ..."

Chris spoke, shocked, and afraid that Lucien, would die.

"... N ... No ... Not yet."

Lucien whispered, raising his right foot, and ready to take another step.

His determination was visible, and his thoughts were million will.

'If I can not pass such an easy test. How, that I will ... Save my mother? '

'Do not give up, you loser ...'

'All those looks, laughter, and mockery ... I will return thousands of times.'

Lucien thought, remembering all the children, laughing at his mediocre talent. Finally, a chance, appeared in front of him, not to prove himself to everyone, but to save his mother ... He would not give up so easily so.

'If ... They call me the devil ... I will be a demon, I will torment everyone. And I will save my mother ... '

Lucien shouted in his thoughts. His face was spreading the determination and strength of will.

"HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA !!!"

Lucien let out a demonic roar, while his already red eyes grew even redder. And then a red aura began to cover her body.

'W-What is this? What is the strongest aura he's releasing? '

Chris asked, somewhat shocked. Even if that aura, or even clinging to his garment, an aura of that caliber, was not normal for a human if he could call it human.

Chris fell into deep thought as he saw Lucien, who was jumping three steps, then reaching his hundredth step. But that was it, that was the maximum that a mortal, in the first stage of the Martial Practitioner, could arrive, only with his talent and determination. The next steps, only someone talented from [Divine Realm] could pass.

Lucien, who was almost totally out of his mind. He was shocked, when suddenly, a barrier appeared, blocking his way. He tried in every way, punched and kicked the barrier, but it seemed indestructible, and it did not scratch. Soon, his body grew heavier as he left his [Berserker Mode], and returned to normal.

After that, Chris woke Lucien and said that he passed the test, and that there are two more tests, and that if he passed, he would inherit his [lineage]. Lucien, asked a little about this lineage, and excitement was visible on his face, but, Chris refused to speak.

Chris then sent Lúcien to the site of the second test.

Continuing for a few seconds, in the same place, he went into deep thoughts.

...

Then Lucien's eyes widened. It we saw in a local, totally white. This place had no floor or ceiling, no trees, birds or rabbits. It was just ... White. He also saw that his body, fully healed, looked like magic.

This time, his mission was very simple, he would have to fight with as many beasts as possible. All beasts would be at most Rank 1, which was equivalent to a [Martial Practitioner].

While he waited, he saw that Chris, appeared a few feet up, and was deep in thought. Lucien, he waited patiently.

"Alright ... Let's start your second test."

Chris spoke as he wore a serious expression.
