Strongest Hammer God novel Chapter 36

Chapter 36: Chapter 36 – Mining Weapons

"Alright, so, where is that exam? Is it multiple choice?" Kyle asked.

"This is not a written exam, Sir Kyle," Sulfur answered. "It is a test of your personality, skill, and talent."

"Eh, okay. So, what do I have to do?" he asked.

A moment later, one of the doors opened, and the light turned on in the now-opened hallway.

"Go through the door, and you will find the first test. Everything will be explained there," Sulfur said. "I'm looking forward to your success."

"Okay, thanks," Kyle said awkwardly before slowly walking to the door, turning around several times to make sure that Sulfur wasn't about to squash him for going in the wrong direction.

"Just through here, right?" Kyle asked while standing in front of the door.

"Yes, just through there," Sulfur answered.

"Okay then... so... I'm off. Bye," he said.

"I wish you luck," Sulfur answered.

Kyle scratched the back of his head awkwardly before stepping through the door, which promptly closed behind him.

'What the fuck did I get myself into?' he thought as he walked through the hallway. 'Why did I have to dig into the hill?'

'Fucking Magic Bitch was probably angry at me and sent me here on purpose just to die in the wilderness or in this shitty-ass trial!'

Kyle grumbled to himself as he walked through the hallway.

'Well, who knows? Maybe the trial isn't that hard. I mean, I passed high school! That must mean something, right?'

After walking for a bit, Kyle reached another door, which promptly opened.

As soon as he exited, he saw a relatively small room.

There were only three interesting things in the room.

One was the fact that one of the walls, which was about three meters high and ten meters wide, was made of a completely different material than the other walls.

The second interesting thing was the huge chest on the side, which was halfway filled with things that looked like war hammers.

And the last thing was the golem standing beside the chest.

Compared to Sulfur, this golem was tiny, but it was still about three meters high and quite robustly built.

Kyle could feel a sensation of mortal danger coming from the golem, but it couldn't even begin to compare to Sulfur or that weird stone-dragon-thing in front of the big gate.

But it still felt much more dangerous than the Narvonian Worm.

Moments later, the golem shook, and dust fell off its stony body.

It mechanically turned its head and looked at Kyle.

"Name," the golem asked with a mechanical voice.

"Kyle."

"Welcome, entrant number 69, Kyle," the golem said.

"Nice," Kyle answered reflexively before he started to realize the meaning of his number.

'Wait, entrant number 69? This means there were 68 people here before me?'

Kyle's anxiety grew.

'And they all failed? I mean, they had to have failed! Otherwise, I wouldn't be undertaking this weird test!'

"There were 68 people here before me?" Kyle asked.

"There have been 68 entrants so far," the golem answered with the charisma of an answering machine. "52 have passed the first test."

Kyle took a deep breath. "Alrighty then. What's the first test?"
