Chapter 211. The Entrance Trials Begin
Chapter Title: The Entrance Trials Begin
"Alright, all the best," GG said with a reassuring smile as she watched Tyler step into the registration booth.
The door slid shut, and in an instant, his surroundings shifted. Tyler found himself in an empty, sterile white room. A screen blinked to life before him, and a simple prompt appeared:
> [Enter your name]
He typed, "Tyler White," using the virtual keyboard that had appeared below the prompt. As soon as he entered his name, a soft white light swept over him, scanning his form.
> Age: 12.
Tyler’s mouth twitched in mild irritation. He had nearly forgotten that his Life Orb — an invaluable treasure that allowed him to regenerate and appear years younger — made everyone and everything believe he was still just twelve years old. Even his bone age was aligned to this illusion. It was a powerful asset, though one he preferred to keep under wraps.
The screen flickered again, bringing up a new prompt:
> [Select the category you are good with]
A variety of bubbles floated before him, each labeled with a skill: Arrays, Alchemy, Technology, Charms, Blacksmithing, Cooking, and more. Tyler’s gaze lingered over the options before he chose Arrays.
In the blink of an eye, the sterile room around him transformed. Tyler was now standing in a dimly lit cave, its walls lined with intricate array symbols pulsing with faint magical energy. The exit was blocked by a complex formation of interwoven glyphs and barriers.
