Opening her eyes, the first thing Myoo saw was the great expanse of the sky. Clouds dotted it with two bright suns brightening her surroundings. She sat up and looked around, a large wheatfield surrounded her with only a few trees and rocks jutting out of the golden foliage.
Suddenly a voice echoed through the area, "Test, test" it was that of an old man.
"Hello, Regulars. Welcome to the second floor of the tower. This testing floor will determine if you are worthy of climbing the rest of the tower. Let's get the first Test started. The rules are simple. In total there are 400 Regulars here. Please reduce that number to 200 within the allotted time. Use whatever methods you deem appropriate. The moment that only 200 Regulars remain, the test will end. Also, you can check the number of Regulars and the time remaining in your pocket. Good hunting, everyone."
Myoo blinked, she didn't want to unalive anyone, why would they be forced to do that to one another just to get to the next floor. She spun around as the wheat behind her moved. Eyes narrowing she took a step back. The wheat moved again and through it, Myoo saw two glowing blue eyes watching her. She flinched and bolted, running through the field as fast as her legs could carry her.
She could hear something chasing her, its feet hitting the ground pounded in her ears. Glancing back, Myoo could only see a wall of gold and now and again flashes of black. Her mouth became dry and she started having trouble breathing. The thing was closing in, as Myoo slowed down, her energy tank depleted.
Running out into a clearing Myoo stumbled and fell smashing her chin against the ground. She grunted in pain and holding her face, glanced the way she had come. Her eyes widened in horror, as a massive pitch black humanoid feline prowled towards her. "GET BACK!" she screamed, raising her hand before her. The feline cackled, "It's nothing personal kid."
Myoo heard something whistle through the air and next second the black cat had toppled to the ground, a spear embedded in its side. Glancing around, Myoo quickly scrambled to her feet, eyes open, ready for her next attacker.
"You okay?" someone behind her asked, placing a hand on her shoulder. Myoo smiled and nodded, "Yeah thank you." Her eyes then widened and she spun around, "AHHHHHH!" The red-haired boy opposite her flinched and stumbled back in shock. He began gasping for air and clutched his heart, "What is wrong with you? Are you trying to give me a heart attack?" He asked, glaring at Myoo.
That made the more petite girl's eyes widen and she began to tear up, "I-I didn't mean to, I was only surprised." she then grabbed the boy's red cloak, "Please don't die." That made the boy chuckle, and standing up straight, he ruffled the girl's long red hair, "It's a figure of speech." A pout formed on the girl's face, "So you lied to me!" Covering his mouth the boy tried to stifle his laughter but to no avail. As he broke out into uncontrollable giggles.
He soon managed to control himself and holding his aching side, he went to dislodge his spear. "So what's your name?" he asked, as he began yanking at the red weapon. "Myoo, and you?" the girl said, sitting down. Smiling over at her, the boy pulled the spear out of the feeling, flicking blood onto his face, "Enryu."
