After Mason finished speaking, he stood aside and didn't say anything else. I stared at the black hole on the ground, feeling uneasy. I didn't know what I would encounter after entering. I looked at Mason. His eyes were closed and his face was expressionless. It was probably impossible to get any insider information from him. I had to experience it myself.
He took a deep breath. It was a blessing, not a curse. If he couldn't even pass the first test, the Trial of Courage, how could he help his friends and fulfill his unfulfilled wishes? I walked straight into the bottomless black hole. In the Boundless Secular World, I was just a pitiful little bug struggling bitterly in the mortal world. I didn't dream of transforming into a dragon and roaring arrogantly in the nine heavens. I just wanted to live a colorful life. When I reached my old age and recalled the past, I could calmly say,"I will live happily!"
I couldn't see anything. I was surrounded by endless darkness. My body was light and I couldn't use any strength. It was as if I was in the Dead Spirit Space. I didn't know what to do, so I could only keep walking forward.
As I was walking, a light suddenly appeared in front of me. It rapidly approached me and swallowed me in the blink of an eye. I couldn't help but close my eyes under the strong light. Only when I slowly adapted did I slowly open them.
Where was this place? I was surrounded by a snowy mountain peak. I was standing alone on the peak of the mountain. The first thing I felt was coldness. It was so cold that it penetrated deep into my bones. Even my blood was about to freeze. I couldn't move. My limbs and even my tongue were frozen. I didn't feel any pain, but an indescribable discomfort made me want to roar and vent it out. However, I couldn't do anything after becoming an ice sculpture.
In the blink of an eye, I left the world of ice and snow, but I was tied to a thick copper pillar. There was a small mountain of firewood that had been poured with pine oil under my feet. The raging fire burned rapidly and swallowed my figure. Every inch of my skin was moaning and twitching in the fire. Other than the lack of pain, everything felt so real. My body gradually turned into charred charcoal and ashes in the green smoke. I no longer existed in the world.
In the next moment, the world changed colors and dark clouds covered the sky. I appeared in a bloody slaughterhouse. Blood and flesh flew everywhere, and limbs were broken. Something flew past my eyes. It was a human head. Its two bell-like eyes were glaring at me with endless hatred, as if I had killed it. Countless figures pounced towards me, and all sorts of blood-stained weapons sliced through my body. I could clearly feel my body being split into pieces, and my entire body was torn apart. Blood rained down on me, scattering into the blood pool and flesh forest.
Next, I was stung by the giant bees that had exploded my nest. My body became several times thicker, but I couldn't die for the time being. I lay on the ground and squirmed with difficulty. I was once trapped in a snake's nest, unable to move, and my naked body was entangled by snakes of different sizes and thickness. He even fell into a river and floated downstream with the current, but not far behind him were dozens of crocodiles with their mouths wide open. Finally, I took a step forward, but I suddenly realized that I was standing on a cliff that was ten thousand feet high. In front of me was an endless void. I couldn't stop myself and tumbled down. The feeling of weightlessness caused my heart to jump out of my chest. Everything was so virtual that it felt so real. Even though you knew that everything should be virtual, you still couldn't help but feel as if you were there. It made your hair stand on end and your heart tremble.
Of course, the most important thing missing in this endless nightmare was pain. This was also something that was missing in all games. Whether I was injured or dead, I would only feel unspeakable discomfort, but I wouldn't feel pain. It was precisely because I didn't have it that I could barely endure it. I kept repeating in my heart that I must never give up, reminding myself that everything in front of me was just a virtual reality. I didn't have much capital to gamble with. If I gave up even my courage, what hope would there be in my future life?
The system had no choice but to turn off the stimulation of pain. Otherwise, not many people would continue playing the game. That would greatly strengthen the psychological hint on people, weaken their resistance, and cause irreparable damage to their minds. This was just playing the game, not selecting the best special forces soldiers.
I appeared in the Undead Hut in a dispirited state. My face was green, and I was sweating profusely. My hands and feet were trembling non-stop, and I collapsed weakly on the chair that had suddenly appeared. I felt afraid, disgusted, and dizzy. I opened my mouth to vomit, but nothing came out. I was too nervous just now and focused all my attention on resisting this inhuman torture. I didn't think about it carefully. Now, I finally came back to my senses. This is too abnormal. This is definitely a kind of torture and devastation to humans. I want to complain. I want to sue this abnormal mission that ignores the physical and mental health of the players. I must fight for a huge compensation fee for mental damage to make up for the damage caused to my fragile heart.
I wanted to say something, but I couldn't control my tongue. I could only stare at old Mason. I didn't know what role he played in this. Was he the mastermind? Or an accomplice? Anyway, I definitely wouldn't let him off. This wasn't a test of bravery. It was clearly the Six Paths of Reincarnation, a terrifying journey to hell. Fortunately, I've loved watching horror movies since I was young, so my mental resistance was relatively strong. If Ah Feng, who only liked comedy movies, was here, he would probably have closed his eyes and pretended to faint.
Mason looked at me in surprise." Brother Dumby is indeed a genius. You're blessed. You can pass the most difficult test in the 'Trial of Courage' so easily. It seems that you've benefited a lot.”
When I heard that I was blessed, I became even angrier. I retched a few times. Then, I heard that I passed easily and benefited a lot. This anger, I'm already in this state, yet you can call me blessed and passed easily. You still say that I benefited a lot? Isn't this mocking? Could it be that the Necromancers were all mentally ill and liked to say the opposite?
I was so angry that I raised my trembling hand and pointed at Mason. After a while, I squeezed out a few words," You…You tricked me!”
"Why would I play with you? I'm telling the truth. Lord Death taught us to treat every believer well. They're all our brothers and sisters. We can't have any bad intentions. I'm the most loyal executor. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to bear the heavy responsibility of inheriting the power.”
Good, he was the darned old man's favorite student. No wonder he was so cunning. He was clearly jackals of the same tribe. He was not a good person.
"As for this, because I had high expectations for you, the trial you went through was more complicated. Actually, as long as you could survive half of it, you would basically pass. At that time, I was careless and forgot to tell you. However, you didn't live up to my expectations and actually succeeded in surviving. In this world, everything is very balanced. The more you put in, the more you will naturally get in return. You might not feel it now, but after you rest for a while and complete the advancement ritual, you will be able to feel your progress.”
I really had nothing more to say. I had the same tone as that damned old man. I drank a bowl of coptis water and fed him a mouthful of honey. I was clearly fooled by him, but it was as if I had obtained great benefits and needed to thank him.
I still couldn't take it lying down." Aren't you afraid that your training method will cause some damage to my spirit? Who will be responsible then?”
Mason revealed his seemingly ferocious smile again." Don't worry. Our program has been tested by many psychologist around the world. It can be guaranteed to react before it causes any harm to the person's mind and forcefully kick you out. There will definitely be no adverse effects.”
I knelt in front of the statue of the old man and Mason held the promotion ceremony for me. This old man looked very mighty. He was wearing black armor and waving a huge Reaper's Scythe in his hand. His entire body was surrounded by black-purple flames, and he was filled with an indomitable and domineering aura. He was much more pleasing to the eye compared to his hypocritical modern appearance last time.
"Supreme Lord Death, please listen to the prayers of your loyal believer, Undead Grand Magus Mason, and grant the young warrior, Novice Necromancer Dumby, more powerful strength to defend the dignity and glory of our undead lineage that has been passed down since ancient times!”As Mason chanted, two rays of black light shot out from the eyes of the statue of the God of Death and entered my body. I only felt that my body couldn't move at all, and my blood and qi surged. The discomfort caused by the trial just now had completely disappeared, and my entire body was filled with a powerful force that gradually seeped into my blood. When the black light disappeared, I regained my ability to move. I slowly raised my head and met Mason's friendly gaze.
