'..?, What the HELL IS THIS"

'Why does the upgrade taking place so quickly, not 5 days have passed since the game was launched'

'It has to be much later, Why it is happening so QUICKLY!?'

Adam had many questions unanswered in his mind. He was simply going crazy because of this.

'Okay, I have to calm down, I have to concentrate on the things on hand, now"

[Player Adam Crystal, Do you wish to log in]

[Please remember your character will be in the place where you last left it]

[Yes/No]

"Yes"

With a flash of light, he was transported before a large door, the surroundings didn't even have a single light source.

'Huh... Where is this!? Uh...I remember now, is this where the trial takes place'

Suddenly, the troches lit up which was placed beside the large door.

'Huh..What!?'

"Why the flame is in...BLUE-BLACK"

Strangely the color of the flame was not normal, it was in blue-black color, it was very intimidating.

The door slowly opened it was full of darkness, Adam felt very unsecured, he took out his spear and guarded up.

Adam felt there was someone else here...other than him.

'I feel like darkness itself is an entity, Nah...It is probably my imagination'

"WHY ARE YOU HERE!! HUMAN BEING"

A terrifying voice resounded in his ears, but there was no one there, It was like darkness itself is speaking to him.

'I can't be intimidated, Calm down Adam! You have got this!?'

After encouraging himself Adam finally spoke, "Who are YOU!?"

"HAHAHA...YOU ARE FUNNY, THIS IS MY PLACE"

"WHAT ARE DOING?"

In the darkness, he can finally see something...but it was also darkness.

'What is happening!? I definitely saw something..it was darkness'

"DON'T TRY TO FIND ME, STATE YOUR BUSINESS"

"NOT ANYONE CAN COME HERE, HOW DID YOU GET INSIDE"

"I assume you are EREBUS. God of Darkness"

"I came with the help of your apostle, and I want to become your apostle"

"I APPRECIATE YOUR COURAGE HUMAN! BUT YOU MAY DIE"

"Regardless of anything, I want to become your APOSTLE"

"HAHAHA...THEN I HOPE YOU DIE A PEACEFUL DEATH"

Adam was determined to become the apostle of Erebus. It wasn't an easy feat, but, If he can become the apostle of Erebus.

It will be greatly helpful for him to recruiting players into his guild.

'I don't how much time has passed' Adam mumbled and tried to lit up the fire.

But..as soon as the fire came to the life it extinguished.

'On top that...I don't feel hunger, fatigue...Am I still a human being'

'No..No...I have to calm down...This is like testing your patience...Let's meditate'

'This is the best way for me to remain calm'

Adam started to meditate.

The forest was shrouded in silence. Not that there was anything there that could make any noise, apart from Adam, who hadn't moved an inch from his position since he started to meditate.

The forest was abundant with sky-touching trees...but the sky can only be described as endless darkness.

There was only a moon in the sky it's rays also didn't emit bright colors it emitted blue-black color which was barely enough to see in this dark forest.

After 150min time...

'It felt like decades...but I know, sigh...What I can do, when I don't even know...what is the task'

'Let's roam this forest for a bit'

This wasn't a very advantageous situation for him, he doesn't know where he was and doesn't know what beings will be hostile towards him, on top of that light is restricted here.

Even fire can't be lit up in this forest.

Adam was walking aimlessly, he can't even detect a single soul for the past 3 hours.

"RAAAWWWRRR!" Adam's body flinched and he swiftly turned to see what the creature was.

Adam gasped his breath at what he saw, 'Damn...What the hell is this.

The creature in front of him, had an enormous body, 18ft tall, 3 eyes, and a horn.

Adam noticed the new window while running

'Wtf...I have to kill this damn thing... and who the hell named it as chimera'

'If I want to complete the quest...I have to kill this thing in 50 min'

Adam took out his spear and checked on the creature, the chimera is chasing after Adam with its huge body destroying all the obstacles in its way.

He abruptly turned around and started to run towards the damned thing.

The creature was a little dumbfounded but continued to run towards him.

Even he was close enough to it, Adam stabbed the spear in the ground and jumped up high in the sky.

'I knew this would work...after all, I have seen these many times in the past

[Skill Acquired: Spear Jump]

This was a unique skill, but it can be easily intimated, more and more players and almost every player who had their weapon as spear had this skill.

Adam reached its head and stabbed its eye, he swirled around and landed on the shoulder of the chimera.

[Chimera HP 17,456/19,700]

[Ice spear]

Multiple projectiles made of ice formed in the air and instantly dwelled into the neck of the chimera.

'You are really tough huh...then how about this'

"STAR STRIKE"

The system prompt came but there was no change in reality, after few a minutes a bright light fell upon the whole forest.

[You have received Title: Darkness Breaker]

The chimera blocked the rays with its hands.

Normally, it won't have this much effect but in this place, it was huge sun granting light to this hopeless.

"Die...CRAZY"

Adam was like a madman he stabbed the neck of the chimera multiple times without a gap.
