As zash looked at the Gravel floor beneath his feet the portal which he got here form slowly closed.
Looking around zash found a spiral staircase which went deep underground into the depths of darkness, even seeing something a few centimetres apart was impossible.
All zash could make out was that he was stepping on the staircase correctly.
Echoes of his footsteps rang out as the darkness took over an ominous feeling started dwelling within zash currently zash had walked for a while, from estimation he had walked off more than 2 & a half hours even so nothing moved in the Absolute Darkness only Silence reigned there zash even let off his killing intent and made drastic movements to test if there are any monsters or traps but nothing happened.
10 hours had come to pass but zash could still feel nothing looking at his situation Zash was confused at what was going on.

Meanwhile
"You sure got a nice descendant out of this trial Zeke." Flo said enviously.
"Hahahaha I couldn't be happier ! Just wait till I spread out the word in the family we'll have a Grand Celebration !! You're invited as well old pal you can't miss it." Zeke said happiness dwelling within his eyes today many of his worries had been dated his Resentments layed to rest, his faith restored and all due to this future descendant, as such Zeke could be said to be the most happy he could have had ever been.
"Though I still think you should've given some pointers now it only makes it more sense as it'd save both time and effort." Zeke said a bit confused as to why Flo didn't give Zash the tips he was ready to do so previously.
Smack* Faceplaming himself hard Flo just looked at Zeke as if looking at a kid who had just got his hands on a Gun but didn't know of anything related to gunsafety.
"Sometimes I really envy your luck and ignorance ol' friend haa "
"What do you mean ?" Zeke said with an raised eye as he could still didn't see any meaning behind it.
"Haa as they say ignorance is bliss to some people, well to put it short say for example if you are faced with some difficulty in protecting your family and friends due to your own mistakes knowing your attitude what'll you do ?"
"Solve it myself without harming more or any innocent bystanders ?" Zeke said straightforwardly but was still confused how was this and that repeated.
"That's what I'm trying to get into your head you still needs to understand that as a person Zash is different from us he has different Ideologies as such it's quite impossible how he thinks but it's pretty clear a Hard-working person like him wouldn't bear to take shortcuts to deal with issues he takes it as he himself must find an solution to everything himself and look where his hardworking had gotten him while his unbelievable luck and ideas played a part in that as well but can we deny his efforts he had shown during those Ten years he's been with us ?"
"As such I'm confident he'll overcome everything himself and the more he does the more powerful he becomes in the process."
"Plus with absurd abilities like World Privilages and World Affinities along with his Absurd Luck Do you really think I even need to say anything, if anything me already starting that he doesn't need to worry about time and no death penalty for this Trial is the most I couldn've said anything more and he himself wouldn't want to listen to any of it."
"I got it, got it I admit you're a genius in this field but I don't have a sharp brain like you in this aspects" Zeke said signaling Flo to stop speaking
"This had nothing to do with sharp senses even if one is Dumb one can say things from looking at a person or being around him.... I really haiz* let to be I'll put in extra words to sister in law when I see her during the banquet Flo said while Zeke had his hairs tingling wanting to say something the next moment Flow was gone.
'Shi* ! That's one situation I must avoid and knowing his personality hell put everything clean for everyone to see my shameful side. I must avoid it ! ' and disappeared while taking his observation crystal to look at Zash's progress during the Trials.
#####
Footsteps 'Echoed' as that was the only sound available aside came from his own thaughts.
It's strange I'm confident it's been a Whole week but I still haven't reach the bottom ?
Spreading his consciousness out of his body zash could finally figure out what was happening and saw tat he had just passed more than 1 KM since he had started while he thaught he had thaught he passed a huge distance it was but a illusion and on certain steps there are more of these illusions but there wasn't a way to bypass them. One must bear a clear mind and keep walking forward once someone looked back they might be sent back to the beginning or worse the trial might end there and there.
"Haaa let's do it it's nothing too bad anyways if something it gives me more time to think about a few situations." Saying so Zash kept on walking as time passed bit by bit and
As zash kept walking his echoes even left a mark along with his footsteps unsettling the millennium long dust only 3 steps were visible while the previous stairs were bustling which showed only a few ever passed this test or it could also mean that a Very Very long amount of time had passed on since someone had used these.
Walking distances unknown to mankind zash bore through everything as an entire year had passed while time stopped that's the time zone zash would be under if he wasn't in the Dark Abyssal Staircase as it had been more than a few hundred years.
Only footsteps echoed while sometimes disappearing from time to time as Zash would often cleared skills out of this situation and disappear his presence within the entire Darkness as his Adaptation kept improving Darkness started to Become 'Friendly' with Zash as along with world Favouriablity this was an trial conducted in a Dark world zash was being found by various creatures of different which too were taking Co-adjuscant trials along the way the only difference was they could see everyone and Interact with other parties but not Zash which made them frown while some were Humans others were 'Species' Born of Darkness as if in another dimensions the could 'See'
Zash throughout the entire year and how he was coping with the difficulties but couldn't do anything to him as system and the world itself prevented them but even so they didn't want harm to befall him as talented as zash was he really showed how impressive his 'Affinity' Ability was showing its magic as creatures would be fascinated by watching him and he became a form of entertainment for them and amazed them with his new shinanigans along the way soon came the parting time as Zash was going way deeper than they could ever and their goals had been achieved but damn did they regret not meeting with him as only a few followed zash but still couldn't come in contact with him which made them annoyed soon zash was Alone except for the Darkness and the often hearable footsteps and they too contained their own melody within this Darkness.
'How long has it been ? I've already thaught through most of the things anyways I love Getting surrounded by Sylphia and Serena alongside the company of other people but having some time alone to myself is good as well not focusing on one task only lost in my own mind having nothing but my own mind to focus on.' Zash thaught and looked within his Soul World and was surprised that how much it had grown if estimated it was close to reaching the boundaries of Peak True Immortal Stages as he too understood that If something he wasn't clear about After spending a while he could understand the reason behind it.
"I really appreciate the adaptation Ability as I have gained another element. Absolute Darkness Tier 5 Elementary Mastery ! " Feeling better about himself and seeing the world around him clear up zash finally saw a gate open before him with a bit of reluctance as this was yet another ' Home he was leaving as if leaving a Master who had helped him understand the Uniqueness and purity of the Darkness Element with sadness in his eyes he said these final words.
"Farewell To this world which has helped me understand all the basics of Darkness Element it's more Pure than anything as without Darkness Light couldn't Exist to shine and without Light Darkness wouldn't be able to block it and the neverending struggle which stood at the peak of Universal understandings wouldn't come to.
It's entirely up to me to share this with others as for this magnificent world I'll be sure to visit it later if I get the chance to ! " As he said this he could sense the environment change and a few black mists get within his inner world and also dwelled within his Soul but at Zash's current level he wasn't strong enough to catch sight of them and even if he seen them he would've had no idea what it was yet as it was yet another absurd Ability which was in the making all due to Zash's few Understandings and his likable and sincere attitude.
As Zash sensed a fluctuations around him he turned around with a mixture of happy yet sad look on his face and saw the system prompt pop up.
[ Trial Of Patience Cleared Successfully!]
[ Results will be Added ]
[ Teleporting to the Next location ]
[Objectives of the next trials will be Briefed when host triggers the set conditions]
[Host will be given a Different body and can't use His Class only the Memories can be readily available for use ]
[ Please prepare for Transfer]
Within a white room zash was watching everything and thaught
*Haiz* " Figures this while being a hard trial was quite short end of a stick who knows what awaits me now" saying so he heard the system go again.
[Good Luck]
As it did Zash's body collapsed and his soul was being placed under another body.
#####
"Mmmmmmhmpp where am I ?" Yawing hard Zash moved his body around for a bit but within the next second he fell down.
"Hah? Is this my current body ?" Taking a closer look he was in the body of a seemingly 9-10 year old baby's which wasn't the problem the mere action of moving his body was a huge drag.
"Well it could have been worse I could've transferred into a girl's body. Gotta do something to avoid such situations later well anyways let's gather some information first." Thinking up to this point Zash tried walking out of the lavishly big bed when suddenly
*CLANG* turning his head around he saw a maid who let go of her bucket and guards letting go of their spears as they made sounds and soon attracting more guards which braught forth more people who had the feeling as if they had seen ghosts rising from the graves.
"The heck is this situation ?"
There has go let me know how you liked it. Hopefully it's braught some enjoyments for y'all.
Stay well and let's meet again later.
