Is this really a Game?!

"You guys certainly look good," Drayce said with a wide smile as he looked at Reign and the others.

He was feeling quite happy from what had happened in the arena, not only did they fight against Pentos in the first round, but Reign and the others also had the bad luck of drawing the Death Riders who were at the top of the difficulty level when it came to the arena.

They still managed to preserve and go through the round before ending the final round with a victory against a Tier II monster. Even though the monster was one that had a limited set of skills and was mostly fighting by using its instincts, it was still a whole tier above them, for normal people, it would have been impossible to defeat it.

Everybody in the arena enjoyed the show, and he managed to make quite a nice sum as everybody was betting. Most people bet on Pentos, the Death Riders, and the Tier II monster, with each victory of Reign and the others, those bets all made their way to Drayce and filled his pockets.

The arena was accepted by the system and as such, it was much easier for Drayce to make the hidden tasks, no, it wasn't just easier, they were now a part of the challenge itself. Drayce could now give out rewards and not just sparring sessions as he previously thought.

'The system is actually bonding with the planet so fast, not only that, but it's giving us a lot more freedom compared to before, what is it that made the system itself so frantic about this planet, is it simply because the Immortal has shown interest towards it?' Drayce thought to himself before shaking his head and speaking.

"That was the first half of the hidden task, with this cleared, even if you fail the second half, you will still get rewarded, and you will also be put above all teams that failed or didn't do the hidden task, right now, there are two teams that are taking part in the second half of the task, simply staying there for a longer period of time compared to them will allow you to win the challenge, but I guess you guys want to finish the task as well, right?"

Reign and the others all nodded at Drayce's words. What a joke, to simply stay there longer.

They knew that the rewards for completing such a difficult hidden task would definitely be far above what Drayce had given them with the sparring session before, he told them before that his hidden tasks were now part of the challenge and he was allowed to give out rewards.

"Alright, well, here is what's gonna happen, you will get teleported to the building above, it's much larger inside, however," Drayce said with a calm expression as the others all nodded at his words.

They already expected the inside of the weird building above the pyramid to be much larger since the pyramid was the same after all.

"You have one task, reach the top, that's all, you don't need to find anything, you don't even have to kill anything if you don't wish to, you simply need to reach the top of the building and you will clear the hidden task."

"There is a catch, of course." Drayce smiled brightly before continuing.

"Not only are there monsters inside, but traps that can potentially kill you, finding a place to rest will be a challenge, and all the teams that are currently taking part in the hidden task are transported to the same place, which means you might need to look out for the two teams that had entered before you."

"Oh, that sounds interesting," Wolf said as he smiled at Drayce who simply smiled back.

"Yes, although your overall power is above theirs, I would recommend you not underestimate anybody, they have been there for longer, they have a better understanding of the space than you, they might even team up in order to take you guys out."

"Let them try, tricks are useless against us," Greenie said with a convicted expression on his face.

"Hmm, you have enthusiasm, I do commend you on that, little ogre," Drayce said while Greenie scowled at him.

"Anyway, you are all rested, please exit the room and take the ration bags before making your way to the teleporter," Drayce said as he pointed at the door of the room. Reign, Shadow, Mia, and the others all grunted before making their way to the door.

Just like Drayce had said, there were small bags of rations waiting for them in the hallway. The rations included some beef jerky, biscuits, and some water. It would be enough for 2 days.

"This should keep you well fed, if you run out during your stay in the building, you will have to find food and water by yourself, it's not plentiful, but it can be found," Drayce told them before moving through the hallway.

Reign and the others followed after him, they walked for about 2 minutes before Drayce stopped behind a door.

"Well, that would be it for me, good luck, I'll be watching you guys, I hope you do well," Drayce said before his body turned into light and scattered.

"Damn, these guys really have some good exits," Shadow said as he stared at the particles of light that were slowly fading away in the air.

"Yeah, let's go." Reign grabbed the knob and turned it, the door opened with ease and they entered.

Inside was a simple room, it was about 100 square meters and there was nothing on it except for an intricate array that was made on the floor.

"This is the teleporter, huh?" Beast said as he crouched down and observed the array. He looked at the lines and symbols of the array with great interest. He was very interested in how arrays worked and how they were able to draw mana and be used in so many different ways.

The whole team soon stood in the middle of the array. It shone brightly before the sight in front of them turned into a blur.

When it finished, they found themselves in a room that was made of stones. The array was still there, but it had no mana in it, making it known that it would be impossible to use it and go back.

Some of the angels dropped down to their knees and 2 of them even started vomiting. They had actually never used a teleportation array of such power before, they only had the smaller ones that were much weaker back at their base.

The teleportation array that they used this time was about 3 times more powerful compared to the one's Reign and the others had in their territory and even they felt a bit sick from using it.

"Alright, after everybody goes back to normal, let's go out and see what we are facing here," Wolf said as he sat down in a corner of the room. Mia had used her frost ability and froze the vomit of the two angels in order for the room to not smell.

After some 5 minutes, everybody was fine and they moved to the large wooden door at the end of the room. As Reign opened it and they all went out, they had to stop for a moment as they stared at the scene in front of them in wonder.

They were currently located on the first floor of the building, and what was in front of them was something that none of them expected. Thousands of huge square rocks were levitating in the air and moving around, some entering in walls and stopping there while others came out of the walls.

The size of the building as well was shocking, it was many, many times larger compared to the pyramid, and Reign and the others couldn't even see the end of the first floor.

There were floating platforms that simply levitated or moved around, smaller blocks that zoomed around the place, and some cylinder-shaped rocks that were moving about.

Staircases could also be seen, but they moved and even separated, making it quite difficult to use them to reach higher floors.

From what they could see, there were no monsters present on the first floor, but all of them kept their guards up as one could never be too careful in such a situation.

None of the blocks was large enough to hold all of them, even the platforms could barely be used by them all at the same time. That was a bit of a problem, the team came together in order to make a plan to get up.

They decided to split up into three teams. Reign would be in one team together with the top 3 angels and 3 other angels.

Wolf, Tank, and Greenie would be together with three angels while Mia, Laura, and Shadow would be with the last three.

They would keep the three squads like this before moving higher up, the inside of the building would definitely change as there were no enemies here, and neither could they be able to get any food or water from such an environment.
