Chapter 45 – 15 Gates
Kyle walked through the open door towards the fourth trial.
'Done pretty well so far. The first three trials were not as difficult as I expected,' he thought as he scratched the back of his head with a smile.
'Wonder what the fourth trial's gonna be like.'
After a while, Kyle reached another big hall, but this time, it was different.
There were 15 closed gates in front of him, and there was basically nothing to do in the hall besides walking through one of the gates.
"Welcome to the preparation for the fourth trial, entrant number 69," the golem spoke.
'Preparation?' Kyle thought.
"You have the option to receive a one-time enhancement to strengthen you for your future trials. Behind each gate is a ritual that will enhance parts of your Aspects of power. You may choose which one you want to enhance," the golem explained.
'Is that why only people who didn't undergo any rituals were allowed to enter?' Kyle thought. 'Sulfur said something about that.'
"The first four gates from the left enhance one Aspect of Power. The leftmost door will focus on your body, and it will redirect 75% of all the Ether you gather in the future into strengthening your body. Your body will almost be as powerful as the body of a beast."
'Hohooo! Quite nice,' Kyle thought.
