William woke up in a strange place; it was a garden of sorts, you could see that a long time ago this place was incredibly beautiful and luxurious, but now it was nothing but a ruin. The ceiling was riddled with holes, where you could see the sun shining trough and it truly made one wonder what kind this place this used to be.
However the most peculiar thing was without a doubt the floor, it was painted with silver and golden squares, it gave a feeling that once upon a time it used to be a board for a strange game, however now, not a single piece could be seen, and it gave an eerie feeling…
“Riiiiip” an acute sound sounded, and a purple crack that kept expanding mysteriously appeared right in the middle of the chessboard
“Youngster, are you lost perhaps? Or have you come for me? To think I’m being this underestimated, those old fools really are getting ahead of themselves... CICERO, Please take the trash out” A young lady came out from that crack, and as she commanded a titanic humanoid revealed itself.
“WOAH, WTF is that?! And what do you mean take the trash out?”Said William while running for his life
“Milady are you sure that he’s here for you? Isn’t he just a lost soul??”Said a booming voice from above
“Maybe… Maybe not and honestly I’d rather not take any chances” Said the young lady with a humph.
“Milady, please you know how we need some help, and as you can see he’s harmless…and for all we know he might have just been sent by fate…” Said the giant
“Fate this… fate that…” Muttered the young lady clearly annoyed
“H-Hey, What do you mean lost soul, and where the hell am I?”Said William
“Sweetie not hell, Heaven and you’re dead. Anyway why do you say he can help us? Sure if I make him my champion things could get interesting, but do you honestly believe that this little whelp deserves it?”Said the young lady
“Why don’t you make a test for him, I know how much you love games…”said the giant with and earth shattering laugh
“That I do… Very well let’s play for a little bit then” Said the young lady beaming a smile
This book was originally published on Royal Road. Check it out there for the real experience.
“...Why would I do that? Since I’m already dad how much worse can things get?” Said William while trying to sound valiant
“Well sweetie, first if you don’t want to find out I recommend you to do as I say, and secondly if you pass I might just grant you a wish. Don’t you have something you want? Perhaps revenge or to see a loved one again?” Said the young lady with a mischievous smile.
“…” (For Anabela I will definitely do this)
“I see you agree. Then let’s get this party started, chose from one of these three trials and after that go through one of these three doors :
The trial of Intelligence
The trial of strength
And the trial of endurance
“Choose wisely and I hope you turn out to be interesting…” Said the young lady while she vanished into thin air
“Ai, she really, loves making these types of shows… Well little one I wish you luck” Said the giant before walking away, with earth shattering steps.
“…So what should I choose… The first trial will probably be a game or a riddle, and god knows how much I hate those…”
“The second one will be what? Maybe I will have to fight a thousand enemies with a toothpick or something, guessing how crazy that lady is, this can’t be that far from the truth. And although that would be pretty awesome, I would probably get rekt in a couple seconds…”
“And that leaves the last one; I hope this one won’t be that bad. Sigh … I have a feeling that this will be such a pain …” Said William
(Ai, this little one sure is brave to pick the trial of endurance from such a cruel mistress, I hope he passes though, then things really could start getting interesting) thought the giant when he saw which trial he picked.
