The Trial

[You have been transported in the Misty Azure Forest]

'Misty Azure Forest?What a strange name'

Anfim found himself in a very dense Forest.He started to look around and saw big blue trees, because of the mist it was impossible to see the whole tree,

but anfim guessed, they must be around 50 meters high and he could only see 1/5 from them.

The mist was strange, because it was cyan in colour and there was no life except of the trees in the forest. Not even insects.

[Be the last survivior to pass the trial. You can always see the number of surviviors,just think about it]

[Current Number of surviviors - 102]

'Hmm 102 is quite the number. I hope we all got summoned close to each other so it will end fast, because i don't know how to get food in this forest.... and human meat is not the most delicious snack.'

'It would be the best, if they all kill each other and I show up when almost everyone is dead, but I don't think I can avoid everyone, even if my speed is superior, what I am not sure of.

Even if it was possible,my body is already so long waiting for a nice fight'

Anfim started to walk around and explore the area but there were nothing but trees and mist. His steps were so quiet, that it was almost impossible to notice.

He walked and walked, but all of sudden he heard footsteps and rushed fast but quiet in the direction. Because of the density of the trees, the forest was very soundproof and it was impossible to hear someone outside the radius of 5 meter.

When he saw the silhouette, he was discovered as well.He wanted first to hide behind a tree and observe the person, but the forest was to dense, so he had to go very close to the person to see it.

He quickly punched the person in the liver, grabbed it by the neck and bumped it's head into the ground. He looked at the person and saw that it was a girl with green skin, two black wings and one big silver horn on her forehead.

He pressed her hard on the ground, so she could hardly breath.

"Hey, do you understand me? Who and what are you and what is this trial?Answer or die." said Anfim in a cold and threatening voice

However the girl seemed not to understand what Anfim was saying.

"It was your choice"

He twisted her neck without hesitation and checked her body for ressources, he found a backpack beneath her body with various things inside.

'Oh let's see what's inside. What is this? Some fruits, I think?It looks like a cherry but has the size of an apple.However I will only eat it as last resort,

because I don't now wheter its edible or not.'

He checked the whole backpack, but found only the same berries and a strange amulet.It had the sign of a plant named amaranth.

'I wonder, she had a backpack with her, so she didn't come here by accident, did she? And what is this amulet about?'

Anfim tried to touch the amulet, tried to open it, but nothing happened.

In the next 20 minutes Anfim found 8 other people and handled them easily.None of them seemed to understand his language and none of them were human.

"I found 9 backpacks in total, but they are only filled with berries and some potions. No weapons, no Tools".

Anfim decided to check one of the berries more accurate and suddenly a familiar screen opened.

[Amara berry]{

{This very rare berry grows in hot environments with very dense mana.

By eating this berry all of your stats will increase by 10% for 5 min and you get a total fire ressistance for 20 minutes.

It also helps you to greatly replenish your stamina in a timeframe of 3 minutes.}

'Stats?What stats?'

[You will able to see your status screen and check your stats, if you succesfully clear this trial and awake your soul]

'Even if i ignore the stats boost, the berry is still very nice and seems to be pretty rare.Unfortunately I have only 2 of them.So the first girl, I killed seemed to be a rich demon'

Now that he found out, how to check items, he quickly checked the rest.

[led potion]

{This potion is made of ice essence and and maros fruits.

By consuming this potion you will get a low cold ressistance for 90 minutes and your body temperature will drop to 36C}

[Stamina potion]

{This potion is made of common stam fruits.

By consuming this potion, it will refill a part of your stamina.The higher your stamina, the lesser the effect. Doesn't work on greater and above races}

'There are other potions and food as well, but they seem quite useless.This Stamina potion seems nice and I got 3 of them.

And what are greater races?Even though I killed the 9 people with ease, I'm a little bit exhausted.Let's try this potion.'

Anfim quickly opened the stamina potion and poured the black liquid, which looked like tar, into his mouth.

'HAHAHAHA I feel nothing, it means that I at least belong to a greater race? What a joke.Never mind, only the future will tell.Or is it because of my energy Body? Later I will try and eat the Amara berry and see what happens.'

Anfim continued his exploration, but the thought, that he might belong to a greater race didn't leave his mind.

'What advantages do I have to the people, I have killed in this Trial, that were not human?

Were they also from greater races? No at least not everyone or they wouldn't take these potions with them.

Will I know more about my race,once I finish the trial and awake my soul?'

Anfim was lost in his thoughts, even though he has a lot of life experience, it was something he never imagined to happen.

*Crumble*

*Crumble*

Anfim heard a sound of crumbling bones and immediately came back to reality.

He instantly turned to his left and rushed in the direction, he heard the sounds.

Even though he was a little bit exhausted, he easily could take out more than 10 enemies, if they were on the same level like the last ones.

When he appeared, he saw a big man, that had features of a bull and a body like of a bodybuilder, sitting and beating a living skeleton with purple eyes and a red core at the place,

where the heart should have been.

Please leave a comment and tell me what you think about it.
