"Candidate #Rahu has passed the second trial: The Trial of Spirit. The next trial will begin soon."
"What? Does this stupid inheritance have more trials?" Rahu spoke, his voice incredulous.
Suddenly, the void shook again. Vibrations and tremors filled them. Rahu glanced at the scene curiously.
At first, it was subtle. It was like shifting weight beyond perception. Then the vibration deepened, spreading outward in massive waves.
The darkness itself rippled, folding and unfolding.
Rahu frowned a bit; it wasn't mere spatial distortion. It was similar to… vomiting.
The ground beneath his feet began to tremble passively.
Then, suddenly, small points of distortion appeared through the air, appearing one by one. Then, dozens.
Figures…of men and women spilled out. One by one, then in clusters. Then all at once.
