Kyle walked through the hallway and entered the next hall.
Although, calling it a hall was not really accurate.
It was just a room with a gigantic hole in the middle.
However, there was still a golem in this room.
"Welcome to the last trial, entrant number 69," the golem said. "You are the second entrant who came this far."
"Wait a second," Kyle said. "Shouldn't I be the third?"
"Three entrants, including you, have passed the fourth trial. Two entrants, including you, are eligible to undertake the last trial," the golem answered.
"What happened to the last guy?" Kyle asked. "Did he have a heart attack on his way here or something?"
"Entrant number five succumbed to their burns," the golem said as it pointed to a mining weapon lying beside the hole.
'Yikes,' Kyle thought. 'Guess I was right with that not everybody can enter the fire. They probably thought that there would be some medicine here or something.' freёweɓnovel.com
'Instead, the golem just watched them die.'
'Hah! Sucks to be you! Couldn't be me!'
"Alright, what do I have to do?" Kyle asked.
"You must retrieve the Inheritance Crystal," the golem said. "The Inheritance Crystal is at the end of the path of inheritance."
Kyle pointed at the hole. "Is that the path of inheritance?"
"The hole leads to the path of inheritance. You must undergo several tests of your body, Center, mind, and Soul on the path of inheritance. Everything on the path of inheritance is your enemy. Reach the Inheritance Crystal and become the true inheritor of Lord Theodor. May your wisdom and strength guide your path," the golem explained.
'Damn, this golem is much nicer than the other ones,' Kyle thought. 'Guess I earned some politeness.'
"Alright," Kyle said before looking into the hole.
It was quite deep.
'That's like 50 feet!' Kyle thought nervously.
"How am I supposed to get down there without dying?" Kyle asked.
"There will be no more hints. You are on your own," the golem answered evenly.
Kyle walked around the hole for a while, trying to find a way down.
However, there was nothing to hang onto.
Just when he feared that he had to jump down, he saw a tiny hole in one of the walls of the hole.
"Oh!" Kyle shouted as he looked at his hammer.
'Guess that's how the other entrant got down there.'
Kyle grabbed his hammer and rammed its pick into the wall below him.
The pick sank deep into the wall, and Kyle looked at it nervously.
'Hope this holds.'
Then, he climbed down his hammer.
His body hung from the wall of the massive hole, and Kyle felt cold sweat running down his back.
He carefully squeezed his hand into the hole the hammer-
CRK!
'Fuck!'
The edge Kyle had grabbed fell off!
The wall was not nearly as stable as it looked!
'Fuck! FUCK! FUUUUCK!' Kyle thought as he saw the approaching ground.
'Just break your legs! As long as you can find some food, you can heal!'
Kyle gritted his teeth.
The ground approached.
BANG!
Kyle landed on the ground with his feet, and the surroundings quaked.
