Dawn felt his vision spinning, he suddenly appeared in a white room. Dawn was confused as to why he appeared in this white room. Dawn examined the white room carefully, the room appeared futuristic covered in glowing white tiles from top to bottom.

The room was empty with nothing in sight. Dawn was alone in the room. He was frustrated. first corridor, then now this strange Where was he going to teleport next?

"Attention, attention!" The sound of the machine suddenly echoed in Dawn's ears. Upon hearing the sound, Dawn calmed down and listened carefully

"In five minutes, you will be sent to the location of the trial. Only 10 trial takers will leave the trial ground.

To ensure that you fight to your full potential, You will be given a weapon of your choice,

Please select a weapon from the list displayed before you,"

Weapon? 10 people?

Dawn pondered with a serious expression on his face. He chose a sword as his weapon, and instantly a sword pitch black appeared in front of him.

Dawn grabbed the weapon and slashed it to get a feel of it. He was satisfied with the sword.

"One last piece of advice. Don't trust anyone. The mechanical voice sounded a little emotional to Dawn when it gave the warning.

When the warning ended, Dawn suddenly felt a cold breeze brushing past his cheeks. and the walls of the room had disappeared at some point revealing the scenery outside.

Dawn was standing on top of a platform, the platform was floating midair 100 meters above the ground.

The platform beneath Dawn's feet was slowly shrinking with every passing moment.

Dawn looked around him there were countless other such platforms with black dots standing above them.

After some time the platform beneath Dawn's feet disappeared. He started plummeting down.

If you spot this narrative on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.

A whistling wind rushed past Dawn as he was surrounded by countless figures that were also free-falling around him.

Boom! Dawn had just landed, when a glowing stone came flying crazily toward him, giving him no time to react.

The stone struck his chest and disappeared. Dawn's brain was suddenly bombarded with information.100,000 people, Trial of Empyrean, Origin stone.

Dawn went through the information to make sense of it. After pondering for a moment. Dawn was able to make sense of the situation, turns out he was in a trail of Empyrean. He was not alone there were 100,000 people just like him on trial.

All of them competing for Origin stone. Which will give them a qualification to break through the Empyrean realm in the future.

Considering that there were many people, how could only 10 emerge as survivors?

The hardships ahead were unimaginable. While Dawn was pondering over the consequences, he heard a soft feminine voice in his head.

"Please select a name for yourself that you would like to be displayed on the list." Dawn made a weird face after fearing the voice. He thought what's with the voices inside his head?

Failing to choose a name in 5 seconds will disqualify you from the trial. 5, 4.... "Wandering Snowflake." Dawn hurriedly said he didn't want to be disqualified for such a lame reason.

"Wandering snowflake name has been successfully assigned to you. Don't forget to check your rank on the leaderboard." the voice spoke with annoyance in her words.

"Where was this leaderboard and ranking of what," Dawn muttered in frustration. He wanted complete information. He looked for the leaderboard thing, and just as he thought about the leaderboard a table appeared in front of him.

The table contained thousands of names. Some names were rapidly moving up and others falling. Some names were disappearing from the rankings one after the other.

Dawn found his pseudonym after searching for 2 minutes at the bottom of the table.

Origin Stone Fragments-1

|Wandering Snowflake, Rank 99,500|

Dawn was ranked at the very bottom of the table.

He wasn't dissatisfied by his rankings, as he knew it was just a matter of time before it went up.

Suddenly a blade light appeared in the corner of Dawn's vision. It was moving toward his neck at an insane speed, barely giving him time to react.

The blade was fast. At least in Dawn's opinion but he could evade it. Dawn unleashed the Astral Serpent Dance to its maximum potential, dodging the blade by a hairbreadth.

Without giving the time for the attacker to react. He pumped his mana into Starfall's palm and launched a palm attack in the direction of his attacker without hesitation.

His palm turned black.

Boom! His palm finally collided with the Attacker's head. However, Even though his palm was filled with 20 per cent of his mana, it was still not effective. Instead of directly blasting the attacker to smithereens, the attacker was sent flying just several meters away.

Dawn dashed toward the attacker with hesitation

He slashed his sword at the man's neck, beheading him.

In an instant, the attacker's body crashed to the ground, blood flailing out of his neck like a fountain. As soon as he died a glow in stone emerged from his body and immediately fused with Dawn's body.

Dawn felt the two stones merging inside him to become one. Dawn could feel a mysterious power taking root inside his body. However, he had no idea what kind of power it was.

Dawn checked his ranking. In case the addition of one more stone changed anything.

Origin Stone -2

|Wandering Snowflake, Rank, 98,000|

His rank jumped upwards. Dawn smiled after seeing his rank go up.

Dawn scanned his surroundings for any enemies finding no one nearby he started running downwards. Currently, he was on top of a small hill, he needed a place to hide first and think about his plan.

Below the hill was a forest with trees reaching a hundred meters in height. Dawn climbed one of the trees and rested.

Dawn looked at the surroundings vigilantly from time to time.

One hour passed without any accident. Dawn looked at the ranking after one hour, his ranking has jumped from 98,500 to 90,000 without doing anything.
