A Dark Place

If one was able to see his appearance, one will be able to see that Saber's skin was becoming paler the more dark mist left his body as his body also became cold, akin to a dead body from the morgue.

Knock! Knock!

A knock came from Saber's doors, sadly it seemed that Saber had entered a bizarre state since he did not wake up from his sleep. The dark mist that exited his pores did not stop and instead increase in speed with which it exited Saber's pores.

Click!

The door numb was turned as the doors creaked open, revealing a tall man around 6,3 adorned in a black tuxedo suit with long white hair. His eyes were similar to Saber's as it was dark blue and also similar to Saber's, he had an exquisitely crafted and handsome face. Seeing the sight of dark mist exiting Saber's body, his thin pink lips parted as a smile formed on his face.

"It seems that the 3rd prince is even more talented than expected!" He said with great pride in his voice. His eyes filled with awe as mysteriously enough, the pupils of his eyes suddenly changed to a dark blue with what seemed to be an uncountable number of shimmering dots of light inside of it.

Gazing toward the body of Saber, he nodded his head as his already shimmering eyes lit up even more as he voiced out. "Amazing, such talent and potential! No wonder they say that the youngest is always the most spoiled. But, such talent and potential does not matter if he is unable to pass the trial placed by the Great Queen."

He said, his voice becoming more and more indifferent the longer he spoke. The white-haired butler then raised his right hand and snapped his fingers. This mere action caused a crack in what seemed to be the very fabrics of space in this room as a two-meter void formed. Gazing toward his right hand, an object similar to a blue earpiece appeared as he walked toward Saber's sleeping body.

While heading towards Saber, a breath of air left his lips which then caused the mist which permeated the air in the room to disappear. Placing the blue earpiece into Saber's ear, a transparent screen then appeared as it hovered over Saber's body.

The white-haired butler then read the contents as he could not help but remark with slight shock tinged into his tone.

"I can't believe it!! It seems the 3rd prince's potential is a lot more than the Queen and even I thought. Incredibly, his regeneration and evolution potential has an unknown rank and what's even more unbelievable is his third bloodline ability..." He said as he then waved his hand causing both the holographic screen and the earpiece to seemingly disappear.

Gently, he placed his hands under Saber's body as he lifted him in a princess carry and then walked into the void crack. Moments later, he walked out of it as he mumbled with worry evident in his tone.

"My Lord and 3rd prince of our race, I hope you do not end up like your brothers in this trial." With such words, both he and the crack in space which was located behind him disappeared.

A few moments later, in the outer space of this world, the white-haired butler appeared as he coldly watched the planet below.

'This place can be used as a way to trace back to the 3rd prince's location and even though it is hardly likely, it will still be unfair to the prince if he is killed by beings who aren't supposed to be part of his trial. So, this world must be destroyed!'

Thinking this, he raised his hand as thereafter a split in space which was so large that it defied commonsense appeared as an asteroid the size of exactly 40,000 kilometers exited it and slowly descend toward the planet below.

Seeing how slow it descended, the butler clicked his tongue in annoyance as he then blew out from his lips, seemingly causing the asteroid's speed to quicken immensely. In no time, the asteroid and the planet below contacted each other, causing a massive explosion to happen.

Boom!!!

An explosion that mysteriously did not affect the butler in any way as the debris and whatever else contained from both planetary-scale objects were destroyed before it could even reach near him.

'I gave you people a quick and unsuspecting death because the 3rd prince hasn't had any incidents which have caused him to hate you people...so rejoice!!' He thought, right after disappearing from outer space.

Urgh!!

A weak groan left Saber's tender-looking and pink lips as his eyebrows knitted. Before long, his eyes shot open, revealing a pair of dark blue balls with a captivating pull. Saber's confused gaze was left even more confused as he saw a holographic screen in his view.

But, he had no time to think about that as he realized that his mattress disappeared, his body weakly getting up to his feet. The hard ground and humid atmosphere made it obvious to Saber that he wasn't in his room. The worst part was the fact that he was completely naked.

Then, something interesting caught his attention. In the corner of his view which was not being blocked by the holographic screen, he picked up the sight of what seemed to be a piece of paper and clothing.

Walking toward the clothing first, he picked it up and began putting it on. Slowly, he first covered his naked upper body with the tight-fitted black spandex shirt and then adorned himself in what appeared to be a martial art training Gi. It was an all-black training Gi as there was also a white-colored belt which he tied to his waist.

Finally having clothes on, he breathed a sigh of relief and then calmed his beating heart which felt like bursting out of his chest. Shifting his gaze toward the piece of paper he bent down and picked it up. Sadly he did not have any sought of ability to see in the dark, so he needed to find a way out of here or at least find a source of light.

The problem was the annoying screen which was in his view.

'Wait, this screen! Does it contain what seems to be my stats?' He thought, right after giving out a smirk as he said in his mind.

'Status window, close!' He ordered as thereafter, his vision was finally not obstructed by anything besides the darkness of this place. Spreading out his hand to his side and spinning his body around, Saber felt as if his hand rubbed on something similar in roughness to the ground on which he stood.

'Haha, a wall. I will simply use this as a guide to finding an exit. Then I'll figure out what's on this paper...or if there even is anything written on it.' Saber thought and with a plan, he immediately began walking while following the wall. Thankfully his luck was good and he walked toward the correct path.

'It seems that my luck is really good.' He thought as he appeared outside the mouth of a cave and in front of the entrance to a forest.
