Is this really a Game?!

Reign and the others looked curiously at the soldier who was wiping the sweat from his forehead.

"A possessed, a freaking possessed, how the hell did you guys manage to find one of them, how the hell does one even exist on this planet right now?" The soldier started talking fast to Reign and the others.

"Do you even understand what kind of being she is, mind you, I don't mean anything bad, but to fight off a possession at this stage, that, that should be impossible, no matter how abnormal one might be." The soldier looks apologetically at Laura for a bit before finishing his sentence.

"Um, well she actually didn't." Shadow scratches the back of his head while looking at the shocked soldier.

"Huh?"

"I did it," Reign says while calmly looking at the soldier, he was truly intrigued by what the soldier said, he agreed as well, looking at the state Laura was in when the demon was possessing her, there was no way she would be able to win against the soul fragment controlling her body if not for him.

"You, you what?" The soldier was flabbergasted as he asked Reign, he already knew the answer, he just needed to hear it, as the mere idea was simply too shocking.

"I destroyed the soul fragment that was controlling her."

"You, a… f... s…" The soldier was petrified by his words, his mouth was open as he pointed at Reign. He was trying to speak, but the only thing coming out of his mouth were incoherent mutterings.

"Hey, you alright there?" Tank comes closer to the soldier and waves his hand in front of the shocked soldier's face. The soldier doesn't even react to the hand. A couple of seconds pass by and the soldier finally snaps back to reality.

"Th-that's even worse, what the hell are you guys?" The soldier asks as he looks at all of them.

"You know what, don't answer, I don't care, I don't wanna know, she's on the same floor as you guys so you can show her around, I'm gonna go and rest." The poor guy slumps his shoulders as he goes back to his building. His mind was still racing in shock as to what he just heard, his poor heart felt as if it couldn't take much more shock so he decided to simply sleep it off.

"Weird guy." Shadow looks at the receding figure of the soldier as he utters. He knew that what Reign did was no easy feat but he didn't expect a soldier to react like that to the news. They all simply look at each other before shrugging their shoulders. Together with Laura, they go inside the castle.

After some time they were in front of the portal. They had already shown Laura the different places inside the castle and were ready to go back to their rooms.

"You might feel a bit nauseous after going through the portal so be ready," Reign tells Laura as they all go in the portal.

"Um." Laura nods in acknowledgment but doesn't think too much about it. The demon went through portals before and she didn't feel anything weird.

As they all come out of the portal and step inside their floor Laura was already on her knees. She was holding her mouth with one hand while her other hand was clutching her stomach. It was for naught however as she started vomiting shortly afterward. Reign looked down at her with an expression that said "Told you so."

"Haaaaa." Laura pants heavily after vomiting. Her stomach was still turning inside out from the teleportation. Shadow and Beast gave her sympathetic looks as they both had the same reaction the first time they teleported. After a while, Laura calms down and gets up. She looks at the party with shame in her eyes as she lowers her head in embarrassment.

"Don't worry Laura, the same happened to me and Shadow, it's nothing to feel ashamed of." Beast steps up to comfort Laura who felt a bit better after hearing his words. They all go towards their rooms to rest.

Reign was finally back in the now-familiar room. He felt a bit calm after so many days of fighting and running around. It was now time to get some well-deserved rest before going down to take the trials tomorrow. Contrary to what the others believed he was nervous as well, but what was the point, the trials would happen no matter what they did so it was better to simply forget about them until tomorrow. He didn't know what to expect, would the trial be harder for him because of his race, because of the mark he was given?

In that case, Wolf would probably face a tough time as well, considering his mark came from a stronger being compared to him and Shadow. With his mind clouded by so many questions, he had a hard time falling asleep. Before he knew it morning came, he didn't sleep much, but thanks to his growing strength he didn't feel tired at all.

Everyone met in front of the rooms as they were ready to go down. Laura was last to arrive, nobody was angry at her of course, she was a girl after all and everyone knew how long it usually took for them to get ready. Being a couple of minutes late was not much at all, to be honest.

They already decided to accept Laura in their party, she had no one in this world and had no idea where to go. She was also level 18, just a little bit beneath them, which was a good thing as it shouldn't take her a long time to get to their level of strength. Reign didn't know why, but he had a weird feeling that she was going to be of great help to them in the future.

They all went to the church-like building that was called the Class Hall. ( AN: corny I know.)

They all enter the darkness before getting into the familiar hall. The trainers all slowly come to them, this time there were even more of them.

"Well, you guys ready to take the trials?" Eldar speaks as he gets next to Shadow who nods nervously.

"Don't be nervous guys, this is only one of the most important events that might have a huge impact on your future, no biggie," Eldar says with a wide grin on his face. Everybody felt like beating him up right now, but alas they were far too weak to do such a thing.

"To think you came back with a possessed, you guys really can't stop giving us surprises huh?" The swordsman trainer Kane says as he looks over at Laura.

"Finishing the first hidden dungeon, capturing the first territory, having marks from a couple of gods, and a possessed in the group, Eldar, are you really not the bastard child of the god of luck?" Odoc shakes his head as he narrates all the achievements the party had. His area was not bad and they were already doing some notable things, but compared to these guys, well it isn't even comparable.

"Stop bickering you brutes, you'll scare the poor girl, hello there little one, wanna learn magic from me?" Iryhtil says as he looks at Laura with a smile. Everyone was surprised to see the change in the trainer compared to the last time when he was simply sleeping during the process. He was looking at Laura as she was worth more than a diamond and she was already starting to feel a bit uncomfortable.

"You're the only one scaring her you goddamn idiot." A woman's voice could be heard behind Iryhtil as a hand slaps the back of his head. Iryhtil rubs his head in pain as a beautiful, tall woman clothed in white appears before them.

- Healer trainer Alera

"Don't be scared girl, he doesn't mean harm, he's just a tad bit overexcited to see someone with such potential for magic." With a warm smile that seemed to melt even the coldest ice, she says to Laura. Laura blushes slightly as she nods her head.

"So, you guys and the girl need to go there," Lance says as he points at the end of the hall. A person-sized vortex could be seen spinning in the air. They all simply nod to him before moving towards it.

"Remember this, you can't die in the trial so do your best, even if your arms get broken just use your legs to kick. If your legs get broken then bite." Eldar tries to lift their spirits but everyone just stares at him like he was a moron. With a cough, he turns his head around and pretends not to see them.

The other trainers shake their heads as they see the sight. For a transcendent as him to act so foolish was truly something you couldn't see every day.

"Be brave, believe in your bow and your beasts and you will be alright," Qiralei speaks to Beast with a neutral face, Beast nods repeatedly before moving to the portal. A small smile could be seen on the beautiful elf's face for a moment before her expression goes back to normal.

Everyone was at the vortex now, they all look at each other with smiles on their face. They were about to do something that might decide their future for them, they were all nervous of course, but knowing that everyone was doing the same made them feel much better. One by one they enter the vortex to start the trials.
