章 497: The tests (2)

Erik was greeted by an expanse of meticulously designed, ultramodern interiors when he stepped through the door of corridor A10. The corridor was wide and open, with smooth ceramic floors glowing with an ambient blue light emanating from the neon strips along the walls. The radiant light filled the space, creating an ethereal ambiance that gave the corridor an almost surreal quality.

On both sides of the corridor, multiple doors were marked with an alphanumeric code in luminescent lettering. Erik knew these were the test rooms where trials of strength, intellect, and character were held. Each door held a different challenge and path for aspiring mercenaries looking to rise through the guild ranks.
