[Tower of Trials, Unknown Floor.]
James, whistling a tune suddenly stopped as his body was teleported to the next lobby. But that was not the reason for the surprise on his face.
His feet entered the grand lobby, which was like the resting area before a big, boss fight. But the architecture here didn’t bother him.
“That kid…”
He muttered, as he touched his chest, a strange sensation was felt there.
“He conquered it…”
The shock in his voice was palpable, he was utterly stupefied, refusing to believe what had happened.
The sensation came from his chest, and he looked at the ceiling and laughed, as he felt the control he had over the body leaving him.
“The kids got talent, I’ll give him that. He even transformed the entire place.”
There was a sort of happiness in his voice, like that of a creator happy that his creation had done something of worth, that it’s actions were impressive.
“Well, It is time to go, I guess. The abyss is keeping tabs on me again. I’ll drive it away before the kid comes…as a reward.”
He said, as the green in his eyes disappeared, and he lifelessly fell to the floor. A green wisp of energy leaving his body and driving something else away.

[The Jade Palace, Alan Peccator.]
“What…was that?”
Alan said, as he almost fell. He had almost lost himself in the drunken stupor from the immense power he felt. But, despite the euphoric feeling and the strength that flowed within him.
He was still B+ rank. His rank had not changed, neither had his stats. Not even mana showed a change. This led him to question, what was that?
He opened his eyes, and immediately closed them again. He could see not just in front of him, but multiple, multiple areas of the palace. And he could even see himself from all directions as well. The armour that was around him, appearing like diamonds, was peculiar to him. .𝒎
“I remember that horrid feeling…”
He said, as the vivid memory of spikes appearing all around and the immense pain was still present in his memory. He shook it off soon and tried to control his vision.
After much, much time, he was finally able to do it. No longer could he see multiple view points, and could only see through his eyes.
All it took was some mana.
‘My mana is back!’
He yelled out in glee, thinking that the trial really was over. He smiled, as he felt his strength return. There was something hidden in his mana this time, however.
It was a strange feeling, something he had felt before, but couldn’t remember where. His instincts were telling him to look at his status window, and so he did.

“…”
There was something else in his status information, something which made his eyes widen.

“… Huh?”
Alan, at first, was confused when he read the information. The domain was…special to say the least. Ever since he was defeated by Ezra, he had done an extensive research on domains and what they could do. Not a lot of humans had access to domains, but the few that did were enough for humans to find out about their qualities.
Domains, manifested themselves into the real world, through the user and were there only for a certain amount of time, as much as the users’ mana could handle its existence. They reflected a part of the user, their desire, wish, ambition or even their regret. Sometimes, the user didn’t even know of what exactly their domain had represented at that point in time.
But it was always linked to them, and their element. Another thing was, there was only you, and your enemies who you allowed to enter. Along with some special abilities that allowed you to create subordinates within it for a limited time.
It was quite a small area, although the place inside seemed great, it was only an illusion and from the outside, it was dependent on the user how large it was. However, never in any records was it as huge as a fucking city. And it certainly didn’t have this sort of system inside it.
Where there were soldiers, cities, an altar, and a throne. Alan felt connected to every being here. However, what shocked him was they were all…alive.
Like they were not constructs of mana, but living beings that lived their life within the city.
This was confusing to him, and his brain was constantly being fed information about the domain. When he finished analysing it, he just thought it was a special domain.
Which did make him a little happy. Okay, a lot happy.
Excited, he decided to explore.
