Like the outer circle, the inner circle was a huge place where the participants were required to venture deeper in the lands to reach the core circle.
When the participants finally reach the inner circle, they will appear at the border of the dimension. The border of the dimension was barren, almost empty.
It was an intentional design from the academy.
The border of the inner circle had the least amount of checkmarks and participants, that was why it was necessary to walk deeper towards the center of the inner circle to pass the examination.
The closer the participants were to the center, the more checkmarks and participants that would appear, but there was also newly accompanied danger along with it.
Merely travelling and getting puzzle pieces was simple, therefore the academy thought to add some challenge and increased the difficulty by a notch.
At this moment, Elias and the gang stopped at one peculiar checkmark.
