Kloey

"What do we do now?" One of the participants directly asked the man who had destroyed the other two doors. They had been standing there for a while now and no one was ready to make a move.

"Who would like to go in first?" Asked the bold man to the other participants but unfortunately, they all stepped backward with no intention of risking their lives.

"I will," Arsenal said out of nowhere and stepped out of the line. Even Muna was taken aback because she didn't know when he moved despite standing so close to him.

Seeing him, they began to mutter to themselves.

"Kid, it's dangerous here," the bold man said to him.

"Don't worry, I won't get in your way or take your money but then, if that happens, don't blame me," he said to them and went into the first entrance.

"Wait for me!" Muna yelled and ran after him. The moment the two of them went in, something happened.

"Everyone look! It's the fifth level!" Someone cried out and when they all looked, they were shocked.

"Those kids are going to die!" They said. Some were worried about them while some weren't, they heard when the bold man was trying to talk them out but the boy wouldn't listen.

"The fifth level is dangerous, I hope they make it out alive," the bold man said and went his way.

Muna after opening her eyes saw a young woman dressed in a white gown. She was standing at a far distance and her long golden hair danced to the rhythm of the cold breeze.

"Master!" She cried and rushed to her.

The Goddess turned around after hearing the voice of someone familiar. Seeing Muna, she smiled ever brightly and opened her arms to welcome her.

"Master, I have missed you so much," Muna cried as she hugged the woman.

"I have told you to stop crying like a baby," the Goddess said to her.

"I know, Master. I know but I can't help it," she replied.

"That's alright, stop crying. There is something I want to tell you," the Goddess said to her.

"What could that be?" Muna asked her as she broke the hug.

"I want you to stop wasting your time searching for me, I have lived so long as a human and my time is almost over. Now that your immortal root has been destroyed, there is no more place for you in the heavenly place. I feel sad that you had to go through all this because of me but I don't want you to suffer anymore. Live on and live well," the Goddess said to her and began to disappear.

"Master! Master, please don't leave me!" Muna cried as she stretched out her hands to hold the Goddess who was slowly vanishing into smoke. "Master!"

Arsenal's attention was drawn to Muna's cries and then he opened his eyes and saw her in tears.

"It's an illusion!" He said and looked around the room. Suddenly, numerous glowing eyes appeared and covered the whole place. "The eyes of illusion!" He said and quickly closed his eyes. 'I can't continue to use my eyes or I'll be affected just like her. I must find the thing behind these illusions but first...' He thought and quickly activated his mind's eyes by calming his thoughts, inhaling and exhaling at the same time.

With his mind eyes now open, he could see without opening his eyes. So he looked around, in search of the one behind the illusions.

"You there! Why don't you open your eyes?" He heard a tiny voice coming from the ceiling.

Arsenal looked up and saw a very tiny girl-like figure. She had big puppy eyes, green hair, and a small crown on her head. Also, there were two pairs of transparent wings on her back.

"So it's you?" Arsenal asked and smirked. "Well, it's over for you," he said and stretched his hand toward the figure. "Come here!" He ordered and she flew to him unwillingly.

She tried to escape but she couldn't as Arsenal's power was far greater than hers. She soon landed in his hands whilst struggling to be free.

"Let me go, will you!" She cried out in her tiny voice.

"Not until you destroy the illusion and set her free," he replied.

"Okay, okay!" She said and quickly waved her hand. The glowing eyes disappeared abruptly and Muna came back to her senses that same moment.

Arsenal was finally able to open his eyes again.

"Can I go now?" The figure asked him.

"Not yet," he replied. "You are the descendant of the Phantom clan. I wonder why you ended up here," he said to her.

"My clan was destroyed by the Gods some years back. I am still alive today because my parents sealed me up with magic," she replied.

"Those damn Gods again," Arsenal said with gritted teeth.

"By the way, how did you know that I belong to the Phantom clan?" The figure asked him.

"Only your clan is capable of creating illusions like this," he replied and continued. "Sadly, you are still too weak. You are supposed to advance to the third level if I am correct but unfortunately, you are still at the moon level."

"That is because my parents placed a seal on me. With the seal still intact, I can not be able to advance further. But even though I am weak, if it were normal humans, they wouldn't be able to escape from my hands. But you did!"

"That's because I am not a human," Arsenal said to her and she became surprised. "I am going to take off the seal but in return, you must serve me."

"As long as I don't die, I am ever willing to serve you," the figure replied, much to Arsenal's surprise.

He didn't think someone would be ever willing to serve him and he was happy about it. He would have done it for her immediately but he had something more important to do.

"First of all, what is your name?" He asked her.

"My name is Kloey," she replied.

"Okay then. I'll do it but I have to finish the game first," he said to her.

"It's alright. I can hide my identity in the meantime while you finish the game," she said and cast a spell on herself that made her vanish.

After settling her, Arsenal went to Muna to find out why she was crying earlier.

"What did you see that made you cry?" He asked her.

"My Master... She is dead," Muna replied and wanted to start crying again.

"It's only an illusion so don't worry," he consoled her.

"Really?" She asked him and he nodded his head. "If truly it's an illusion, then why weren't you affected by it?" She asked him.

"Unlike you who is scared of losing your master, I have no fears," he replied.

"Okay, I'll stop crying then," she said and wiped away her tears. For some reason, and believed him, she believed that he would save her Master who was like a mother to her.

"With this level cleared, we should move on to the next one," he said and made his way to the next door which was on the wall.

"What about the reward?" Muna suddenly out of curiosity.

"There is nothing else in this room," Kloey replied.

"Oh, I see," she said with a pout.
