Chapter 8

"Hmmph, too late"

"Ehh? Wil-will you really eat my soul?"

"Who wants to eat your ordinary unappetizing soul, it can't even fill my stomach"

"Then what will you do to me, my soul?"

"Hmmm, let see, it was even funny you curse your own world before you die, but still you died, *kekekekek*, well it seems like your pretty generic if compared to the other souls that arrived here."

Kenji felt dismayed, he thought: He won't even eat me, and now he's mocking me, then what should I do then?

And as if Kala had read his mind, it replied: "Then you shall be doing one thing, and that is to pass my trial, and of course if you passed it, I'll grant you another life with no strings attach."

"Ehh, yo-you just read my mind?"

"Of course why can't I?"

"Sh*, so all I need is to pass your trial right? But before I agree I have some concerns to ask"

"Go on, I'm all ears"

"First is, will you really give me another life? How does that work?"

"Can't answer that, you must first passed the trial"

Kenji felt annoyed, but still continued to ask.

"Do I only need to take this trial once?"

"Yes"

"Okay so what will happen if I fail?"

"You will know when you fail, *kekekekkek*"

'Bastard', Kenji thought.

"Oh I heard that"

"Okay for the next question, how am I here?"

"By me"

"So you pulled my soul over?"

"You are the one who called first, not my problem"

"Tch. For the next one, if I really pass your trial, isn't it unfair that a mighty being like you will only grant me another life with no assurance what I'll become after?"

"Ohh *kukukuku* you're now bargaining to me, but alright since you're funny I'll let it slide"

"Okay so, if I did passed we'll continue with this matter, and now for the last question, what's the trial all about?"

"That's for you to find out"

"A hint maybe?"

"Hmmm, plead more"

"Tchhh. Pretty Please?"

"*Kakakakkakak* Alright, you just need to face someone, and that's it."

He doesn't mean to fight right? How can I even fight in this situation? Different problems arise in Kenji's Head as he does not know what to do.

"For better or worse, I'll accept"

"Now that's my boy"

After that, Kala seem to muttered an ancient kind of language and ancient big door appeared in front of them.

"Now just enter that door, and you'll be there"

"Okay"

"Wish you luck"

And as he was about to enter the door, he might be hearing things, but Kala might have said: If you return alive that's if. Which made Kenji shivers, and after passing through the door, what welcome him was some sort of Arena with no one but silence.

"Now how will the trial start"

But as he was just about to wonder, another door had open in front of him. And what entered was just like him, an another soul.

Hans thought that the young master is still sleeping, but he never wanted to be rude or anything, but it's already 10 am and it's the first time he didn't woke up early.

"Young master? Pardon me for intrusion"

"You know Dr. Steven, if you can't diagnose what is happening to the young master, you know what you will become"

"Eikk, ahh no Mr. Pork&Beans, it just that I can't determine what symptoms are these and I can't have a proper diagnosis. Left with no solution, the doctor just asked.
