Life Drain System Chapter 49

Yang replied kind of surprised. "I thought you would like it to be a surprise like usual, although I guess since it affects your future you are probably curious. Here is one and your final hint. Your life will be tested, to see what class best suits you."
"Well thank you for the hint. I look forward to seeing what my class is in the future then. In the mean time could you heal me? Also, one more question before then, how long will this take?"
"Alright, 1,000 experience will be used to bring you back to your peak state. Also, to answer your last question, one hour in there is one minute in the real world. Thus even if it took 4 days, it would only be an hour and a half here. Either way, the speed at which you finish all depends on you, and your talent. Good luck." Yang replied to Yin's questions once more.
After a few more minutes waiting in silence, the timer ended and by the time Yue blinked, Yue were in a hallway dimly lit. As he looked around, it looked like that of a castle corridor, and thought to himself as he started taking his first steps forward. 'Kind of pretty and peaceful here. I wonder when the trials begin?'
And as if the trial could read his mind a notification popped up.
[Your trials shall begin momentarily, in the mean time here are the basics.
1. No using outside items, only what you were born with, such as magic, and your body.
2. No using the system except to put things away, you may not take things out, purchase, heal, or anything that does not involve using your own 'personal' abilities.
3. If any rules are broken your trial will immediately end, thus failing. You will be provided rules in each part of the trial.]
{1st part of your trial. You must continue down this corridor, and survive. You may not use anything to cause damage, such as attacking anything. Also, no spells allowed in this portion of your test. There is no respawning, and if you die in the test, you might die in real life... You may now begin...}

Yue finished reading the notification, and suddenly felt a gust of wind pass his ear. Turning to see what is was while taking a step to the side, an arrow flew past his face again, nearly killing.
Shocked, Yue thought. 'I need to move, or I will fail. Wait, it said I can die in here?' He realized as he started running towards the arrows, but carefully dodging them. As he is running down the passage, he got scraped a few times just from the air pressure of the arrows. Soon he saw some sword wielding wooden people, and wondered. 'I wonder what those are doing in here, not to mention it is only 3 meters wide and 4 tall. Well, it did say to survive but yet I am not allowed to fight... What if they attack me?'
Once more as if the trial was reading his mind a notification appeared.
Seeing this, he thought to himself. 'I wonder if I am fast enough?'
Just as he was about to arrive before them, they turned their heads noticing him. The wooden people then charged at him. Noticing their actions Yue thought. 'It is now or never.' And he jumped onto the wall to his right while running and started running in a spiral shape along the tunnel to not only not run into the people, but also to avoid any traps such as the arrows that have not yet stopped firing off.
While dodging arrows, being constantly chased by people, and creatures he is not allowed to fight, Yue started feeling kind of exhausted. Noticing this, Yue thought to himself. 'Clearly this is both an agility and endurance test. Either way, when is the end? It really makes sense now why one had to wait until their stats and level are much higher than mine. Also, where are the arrows coming from?'
Regardless of the tiredness, Yue just kept on running, hoping that it would either end soon, or he would get his second wind.
Seeing this felt like adding insult to injury to the exhausted examinee. Yue continued on and then started feeling his back warmer than before and wondered. "Are you insane?" Yue voiced out as he looked back and saw the tunnel gradually not only catch fire, but also catch up with him. Speeding up the moment he saw this, a guillotine sliced right in front of him and an arrow right where he was just a moment ago.

The trial continued to get worse and worse the farther Yue went along. Either way, it seemed as though the trial was trying to motivate him whilst also testing him, which gave him a slight feeling that he had a chance at this.
---- About A Hour Later ----
Yue was sitting down at the end of the tunnel thinking while trying to catch his breath. 'A two hour run for your life. Hmm, at least it was not longer. Well, there goes a red flag, haha.'
A few short minutes after he caught his breath a notification popped up.
{Rules for part 1 and 1/2, and basics.
1. Yue will be required to use spells once three quarters through. You will be notified at that time. NO Running in that portion.
2. For this first portion, you may only walk through. Running results in failure.
3. This is more casual, please enjoy your walk, also no dodging.}
Reading the rules, once Yue looked up he saw grass sprouting up, as well as the sun and sky. No longer the corridor with stone on all sides, just two now. This made Yue curious where the corridor went but he just prepared himself mentally as he started walking.
While walking down the pathway, Yue felt. "Wow, this is quite peaceful, almost makes one forget they almost died..." He said as a wooden club bashed into his stomach. Yue nearly fell to his knees, but after a second or two continued onward.
"Well, I should have known, the last one was dangerous of course this would be as well." He whispered to himself, while walking and getting beaten by clubs. A few steps later, the clubs disappeared, and he saw the place filling with water. "Why do I have a bad feeling about this?" He wondered.
The place filled up with salty water shortly after that, and Yue did as he was told just swimming casually doing breast stroke. Soon he saw fish start biting him, and octopi clamping onto him constricting his limbs. Next he saw a shark behind him, then just thought to himself. 'Stay calm, as long as you follow the instructions you will live.' He tried convincing himself as the shark looked extremely hungry even appearing to lick its lips.
Five minutes of terror, and some pain later.
Yue saw the water draining away, and immediately cast a few layers of Mana Shield on himself, while thinking. 'Hmm, I feel as though I am getting stronger mentally, and have become better with my stats since taking this. Well it is called a trial, of course one comes out stronger if they succeed.'
"Woah." Yue said a few steps later when he was engulfed in fire. Starting to feel more calm and easy going about these things he continued, and just kept casting mana shield, as well as body enhancement. While walking down the path, he was assailed by flying ice spikes, that nearly killed him a few times, and then a new place.
In here it was more open, however there was no new notification. Thus Yue assumes that it is part of the same trial, and continues. Yue looks up upon seeing all the clouds, and sees some pretty birds.
Boom!
Thunder comes down, and goes through multiple layers of Yue's mana shield, and he thinks. 'I guess my endurance is still being tested?' He wondered as he started replenishing his layers of man shields faster to keep up with the thunder coming every second.
---- About 20 Minutes Later ----
"Lousy lightning and thunder almost took off my arm." Yue said as he reached the end of the valley.
"So I get a break in between each test then?" Yue asked hoping for a response.

[Note: New chapters will not be released on this site anymore, nor will previous chapters receive any edits or updates. To continue reading beyond chapter 6, please use this link to find MEA on Scribble Hub. Sorry for the inconvenience.] Sawatari Mikasa was a normal high school girl. She was great at sports, had above-average grades, lots of friends, and a little brother that she loved more than anything in the world. To Mikasa, life couldn't be more perfect. That is, until the day she received the phone call that shattered her world. "Yuu has been hospitalized." Her precious younger brother, Yuu. In a fit of panic, Mikasa raced towards the hospital to check on him. But her negligence threw her straight into the path of an oncoming car... And that was how the girl known as 'Sawatari Mikasa' lost her life. When she awoke, she found herself before the being known as 'God', who presented her a second chance at life in a new world. She accepted, and only had one question: "What happened to Yuu?" But God would not give her an answer, and before she knew it she was being reborn in a world of monsters and magic straight out of a fantasy novel. However, she wouldn't be satisfied with that. 'I need to go home and find out what happened' This became Mikasa- no, Micah's goal in this new world. Even if she had to become God's enemy, or even that of the world's, she would do whatever it takes to make sure her brother is safe. If Yuu had recovered safely in the hospital, then she would be happy. Having fulfilled her duties as an older sister to the best of her ability, she would peacefully live in this world for the rest of her life. But if Yuu had somehow died, and was in this world too... 'Find Yuu' or 'Find God'. I don't care which comes first. Micah's journey to find her 'Happily Ever After' had begun.

The Solstice Wars
In the grey-cloaked cityscape of modern London, student William Whiteswift has two secrets: the Fae walk among humanity, and they are just as vulnerable as us. His childhood was filled with them; they spawned nightmares and episodes, dreams and obsessions. The nightmares remain, of course, but the fae are his normal. Now, he heals them, for William is gifted. When he saves a faerie -- a humanoid fae -- from an injury he can’t explain, William is forced to let her stay. Finally, he may have taken on more than he can handle; Ainsel could uproot his life in seconds. Instead, she cracks a Pandora’s box of mysteries: someone just flipped her home on its head. And because of that, she did something unspeakable. And somehow, she doesn’t want to hurt him. The longer she stays, though, the crueler his nightmares grow. Worse, governments hide secrets, too: they know of faeries. To them, all fae are monsters fueled by solstices and equinoxes. As the autumn equinox approaches, the culling agency COURT hurries to track Ainsel down. With teams across the United Kingdom and Ireland -- iron-strong despite the region’s history -- they are nearing success. A world away, their country wounded, the faerie leaders hunger for justice. In the looming shadows of war and of Ainsel’s mistake, can a human and a faerie protect each other against their own kind? Could their plight mend rifts between bitter nations and bitterer people? Or will it, like past attempts at peace, shatter? Quick note! I hope you all enjoy the Irish (Irish Gaelic) words here and there! All are defined or explained within the text. This is my chance to show off speaking it at least somewhat decently. Still learning. ;D -K
