Chapitre 76: Chapter 074 First challenge
Chapter 074
After Alex passed through the golden door, he found himself in a very wide room. There were three doors on the other side, each of them color coded.
The left door was green, the right one was yellow and in the center, there was a red coloured door.
But he didn't take a step towards them.
From what Guard had told him, the challenge would begin as soon as he stepped through the door. So, it was safe to assume that it had already begun.
He stood there for a while, his brain thinking on how to go with it. At that moment, a status notification popped up in front of him.
[Welcome Challenger!]
[Your abilities are being scanned.]
[Your challenge has begun.]
After these three notifications, his status suddenly popped up in front of him.

Alex looked through his status screen with a smile. From where he had started, he has improved a hell lot.
His stats were improving a little daily with exercise and two of his skills were already at level 7.
Their improvement had gone down a lot since he had reached level 5 on them, but he didn't worry much.
It was just like when in games, it was hard to level up after reaching a certain point. A lot of experience was needed.
[Level 1 has officially started.]
[The tower has issued the challenge. Defeat a pack of Flame wolves to move ahead.]
[If you die in the Tower of Eraskis, you will lose your life in the real world too.]
As those messages appeared, he took out his sword from his inventory. The blade shined with a bit of lightning travelling through it.
At that moment, strange symbols suddenly appeared on the floor. They reminded Alex of the summoning circles from a fantasy anime he used to watch.
A bright, crimson light flashed on top of the symbols and suddenly, giant wolf monsters appeared in front of him.
20 wolves with three of them looking bigger than the rest. It seemed like the first challenge was to kill the wolves and only then, could he pass through.
"I thought they were called Flame wolves?"
He muttered and like the wolves were just waiting for him to say that, they howled.
"Owwooooo!!!"
Instantly, their fur blazed as bolts of flames ran through it. It was like they were all on fire but instead of the fire killing them, it was strengthening them.
'Only another wolf can deal with them.'
Thinking that, he called out his wolf and rushed at the blazing monsters.
He was just on the first level but it seemed like it would still pose him a good challenge. Soon, only the howls of wolves and the cracking of lightning could be heard.

In one of Shield's facilities, Nick Fury was busy talking with Maria Hill, the Deputy director of Shield and someone who Fury trusted a lot.
But at the moment, they were in a heated argument.
"Director Fury, you can't restart Project Pegasus. You know why it was shut down and the council only wants to gain more power for themselves. Don't go by what they want!"
Maria Hill said, hands on the desk as she looked at Fury with a sour expression on her face.
"I know that. But the council is skeptical. Especially after what happened in New Mexico. The threat of outer world aliens coming to Earth to destroy it is far greater than worrying about the council."
Fury said, thinking back to the Destroyer attack in New Mexico. Even though he didn't agree with the council most of the time, he knew that they needed power.
"What if it doesn't go your way? Even Howard Stark wasn't able to do anything with it. They just found that the 'cube' was the source of unlimited energy."
"We have better technology than before and I have some people in mind. Brilliant minds."
Maria shook her head, not fully convinced.
The cube was too dangerous. That's why it was kept hidden for so long. Even if they found a way to harness it's powers, it was hard to say if they would be able to control it.
"Look, I know your concerns. But the order is final and I don't have the authority to do anything about it now. My job is to protect Earth and I will do anything to ensure that it's protected."
He looked at Maria for a while before finishing his words.
"Project Pegasus will begin again. We are calling it Phase 2."
Maria Hill didn't say anything after hearing it. There were a lot of thoughts inside her mind but they would just have to stay there.
