Chapter 8 Trial Of Temple-- Clearing First Room
Inside the Temple Maze
Unbeknownst to those scheming against his life, Zane remained deep within the shifting maze of the Temple.
After stepping inside, he had expected the worst. Anything associated with the Temple of Assassin was bound to be insane. Twisted. Brutal. He’d prepared himself for hell.
"System," he called calmly.
Silence.
No response. It was as if the system had never existed in him to begin with.
Zane paused, but didn’t panic.
He shrugged. "Fine. I already have what I need."
After all, Shelby had made it through this maze. Why couldn’t he?
"I still have Divine Radiance. Three solid skills came with it. I can train them here... adapt, fight, maneuver." His eyes sharpened. "This place is perfect."
Still, he reminded himself not to rely too much on those skills. Something inside him burned each time he used them—like a fuel source being consumed. In the Academy, they called it mana. Too much use, and he’d burn out.
