We arrive in a magnificent space with light blue crystal ceiling and wall everywhere around me. The receptionist leaves out of my sight as I walk to the center of the room.

Inside the room, there is a big crystal floating center of the room.

"Please select difficulty." the womanly sound comes out from the crystal.

*Extreme.*

"Beware that this is the hardest mode that creates real enemies which can make you real damage and kill you. Are you sure you want to select difficulty extreme?"

*Yes.*

The crystal emitted a blue light that got reflected into crystal walls making the room full of light but, after I said extreme, the crystal turned into a deep red color which made the whole room give a bad vibe.

Crystals started creating a shape of doors around the massive crystal rooms.

*Interesting. It is such a high technology but only rare people can use magic. How did they build this makes me curious.* I say while rubbing my chin.

The doors open and hundreds of black monsters start walking towards me. They are like big tigers made out of darkness itself.

"OH NO! Those are Helltigers!" a woman shout can be heard from the distance spectating the scene in horror.

"Listen, sir, I can't help you! But I hope you will win this."

*I don't need help.* I say while I take my shotguns out under my cape.

As soon as I said that, Hell tiger was already running right in front of me towards me. A huge paw was coming towards my chest with massive speed as I activate my wraith form.

*GUAAAHHG!* I fly from the strike to the end of the room making a deep hole to the crystal wall. I spit out a mouthful of blood.

For the first time, I feel pain in this world. It hurts but most of my pain is ignored by my racking brain.

How did it strike my wraith form? Wraith form should be invincible!

Maybe because it is the same affinity as me?

Or am I wrong? Is Reapers power darkness?

The questions are going through my head as I aim my shotgun towards one of the hell tigers.

Boom!

The massive sound echoes the room as I pull the trigger.

But no damage can be seen from the shotgun.

I'm so idiot. It is a Hellfire shotgun. How can it make damage against Hell tigers I thought while the fact made me chuckle a little bit.

*Any weakness in these monsters?* I ask while looking at the Receptionist.

"How can I kno- Oh! I remember! The weakness of these monsters is Ice magic!"

Well, that helped. It feels bad to die this early. If only I could-.

My mind suddenly snaps as more information floats through my brain. The combat power of my new self is sharing more information on my current brain, showing new abilities that never was possible in the game.

I stand up holding my shotguns close to my chest in x position like I would try to teleport forward.

*This ends now.* my cold voice echoes as darkness starts to gather around me.

*Shiver...* Instantly the dark mist that was floating around me turned into a light blue mist. My cape transforms into a deep blue color as my shotguns turn into a blue color that has ice on the surface of the gun.

My mask doesn't cover my face fully as a blue light emits from the invisible head making the room turn into an extremely cold temperature.

Hell tigers look at my new form as they start quietly stepping back, trying not to combat with me since I am their pure weakness.

*You are going nowhere.* I say while I shoot my shotgun.

Shh-*

The shotgun shoots a fist-sized snowball at low speed which makes the Helltiger confused for such a weak attack. The snowball slowly hits one of the hell tigers.

BOOM!

The snowball explodes into a massive Icicle as the ice stabs Helltigers from everywhere around their body. From one shot, 3 hell tigers are defeated.

"M-monster..." the receptionist shivers while she spectates the battle.

*You are correct. They are monsters. and I'm the Devil himself.*

*If I were you I would run for your life because things here are gonna become little messy.*

I teleport to the middle of the room as I see the receptionist backing far away as possible.

*Thank you for waking me up. Now I know that I have to be more careful in this new world.*

*Death Blossom.*

The temperature in the room turns into the absolute zero as I start spinning and shooting around. Every shot makes the temperature of the room turn tigers freeze to death. Hell tigers didn't even die to the bullet they were frozen by the temperature that the Death Blossom created.

A couple of seconds and the whole crystal room was destroyed. the hellcats were demolished and frozen in place. the crystal room was full of ice as my body turns into a black mist that turns my body back to the way it was.

The receptionist looks at me while shaking uncontrollably.

*Do I pass the test Miss?*

"Y-yes! C-congratulation. You have passed the test!"

We walk back to the main room as I see Kristine sitting there waiting at me.

"How did it go?" she asks full of smiles.

*I learned a lot. It went well.*

We walk back to the hotel as the receptionist runs to upstairs with her papers.
