章節 2: Enter in hell 2
"Welcome, warrior," he said in a language Aadhi somehow understood. "I am the Guardian of the Sands. This realm is known as the Thunderous Wastes. Here, you will face the third level of your test."
Aadhi looked around, his heart racing. The ground beneath him was shifting, a mix of sand and stone. The horizon was a blur of orange and red, with bolts of lightning crackling across the sky. The air had the scent of ozone and the promise of a storm that never came.
"The third test," Aadhi murmured, trying to gather his thoughts. "What could it be?"
The Guardian of the Sands, a towering figure with eyes that pierced the soul, spoke again, his voice echoing across the barren landscape. "In the heart of the Thunderous Wastes, you will find the Den of Despair. Within it, you must conquer your deepest fears. Only then will you be worthy to proceed."
With a flash of light, Aadhi found himself in the year 109, standing before an ancient fortress that looked as though it had been sculpted from the very fabric of the desert. The sand around him whispered secrets of battles long forgotten and wars that had left their indelible marks on the sands of time. The air was thick with the scent of history, and the walls of the fortress seemed to breathe with the weight of the centuries.
SUMMARY^1: Aadhi arrives in the Thunderous Wastes, a realm where he is greeted by the Guardian of the Sands who informs him of the third test in his journey. The test requires Aadhi to conquer his deepest fears within the Den of Despair, an ancient fortress in the desert.
The massive gates of the Den of Despair loomed before him, the rusted iron creaking as they slowly swung open. A sense of foreboding washed over Aadhi as he stepped through the archway, his eyes adjusting to the darkness that lay beyond. The floor was slick with a fine layer of dust, disturbed only by the occasional scurrying of creatures that had made this desolate place their home. The walls were adorned with ancient runes that pulsed with a faint, eerie light, casting shadows that danced like ghosts in the flickering torchlight.
As he ventured deeper into the fortress, Aadhi began to notice a strange sensation. It was as if the very essence of his being was slipping away from him, like grains of sand through his fingertips. His thoughts grew cloudy, and memories of his past began to blur at the edges. Panic set in as he realized that his time in the game had taken a toll on his mind, and the lines between reality and the virtual world grew alarmingly thin.
He wandered through endless corridors, the pulsating runes on the walls seeming to whisper dark secrets that only he could hear. The creatures that once fled from his presence now grew bolder, their eyes glowing with malicious intent. The once invincible warrior now felt vulnerable, his power diminished by the overwhelming weight of despair that seemed to suffocate him with each step he took.
Days turned into weeks, and weeks into months. Aadhi's body grew leaner, his muscles taut from the constant battle against the shadows that stalked him. His eyes, once bright with determination, now held a haunted look, reflecting the myriad of horrors he faced within the fortress. The colorful armor he had once worn with pride had faded to a dull gray, stained with the dust of forgotten battles.
One fateful night, as the moon cast a sickly glow through the narrow windows, Aadhi stumbled upon a chamber that was unlike any other. In the center stood a pedestal, upon which lay a tome bound in what appeared to be the skin of a creature long extinct. The pages fluttered open, revealing a map of the fortress, with a crimson line that led to the heart of the labyrinth. The air grew thick with anticipation, and Aadhi felt a sliver of hope pierce the veil of despair that had enveloped him.
