[TO COMPLETE TRIAL-28, SURVIVE FOR ONE MINUTE]
'System, you are not helping me... How the hell I am going to face with something like this for a minute?' Leon complained as the golem started running towards to him.
Running? No, since lava completely covered his surrounding. He is currently on an island, but just covered by lava, rather than sea. So the only way to get out alive is going against this monster. At least Leon thinks so.
'Shit! He is faster than I thought,' Leon thought, while using his all brain cells to find a way to stay alive.
While the golem runs, the ground underneath it trembles with its weight and strength. Leaving its foot steps by crushing the hot ground while the surrounding air burns with its heat, it takes only a few seconds to get close to Leon.
[REMAINING TIME: 51 SECONDS]
'Tsk, okay. I will dodge its attacks by using my Qi,' Leon makes a quick-plan when the golem raises its arm to crush Leon.
[-70 Qi] [Qi: 80/150]
[-30 HP] [HP: 280/310]
While avoiding its fist with just inches, only the hot air around its arm was enough to burn Leon's face.
[REMAINING TIME: 46 SECONDS]
'Not did only take almost half of my Qi, also managed to decrease my HP without even touching me,' Leon thought. If not for his new armor's protection, he could have taken much more damage.
Not wanting to burn to death, "Activate [LOWER MANA ARMOR]" Leon commanded before the golem made his next move.
[ACTIVATED]
[DURABILITY: 100/100]
This time the golem decides to crush Leon like an insect by using its leg.
[-80 Qi] [Qi: 0/150]
"Shit!" Leon says while channeling Qi to his legs to run from getting crushed underneath the golem's feet.
[REMAINING TIME: 37 SECONDS]
*BOOM*
Creating a shock-wave that is mixed with some hot magma and rock fragments when its leg touches to the ground sends Leon flying a few meters. Luckily, the mana armor surrounding him takes damage for him by blocking some rock fragments.

[DURABILITY: 40/100]
Rolling on the ground for a second, Leon gets up by doing an acrobatic move.
[REMAINING TIME: 30 SECONDS]
Good news, he didn't take any damage from this attack. Bad news Leon is out of Qi, and that means he won't be able to dodge its attacks like before.
Waiting for the golem's next attack, Leon observes it. But this time the golem doesn't run towards to Leon nor tries to crush him.
"What are you doing?" Leon wondered while observing the changes in the golem's body. While absorbing a great amount of mana from around it, all the hot stone fragments on the golem trembled when mana got into them. When they absorbed enough mana, burning with the heat, their color changed from black to magma orange before firing themselves to fly towards to Leon like bullets at a great speed.
*CRACK*
[DURABILITY: 0/100]
[(LOWER MANA ARMOR) DEACTIVATED]
"FU-," Leon couldn't even complete his word when a stone fragment pierced through his head.
As soon as the fragments touch the mana armor, mana armor can just block few of them before it breaks into pieces. Leon can't even react as dozens of pieces pierce into his body. Piercing through Leon's body, even his armor can't protect him from these stone bullets.
[-280 HP] [HP: 0/310]
Many of them hit Leon's body while some of them destroyed his skull.
[REMAINING TIME: 24 SECONDS]
[TRIAL FAILED]
And with this, Leon finds him in the hands of cold darkness once more.
…
…
..
Leon floated in the darkness for an unknown time until when a light illuminated everywhere.
Opening his eyes, seeing the white sky of the hub again, Leon sighed with relief. He doesn't know if he stayed in there so much in his first time, but every time when he finds himself in there he just feels like he will be stuck at there forever.

Standing up again, Leon realizes the state of his armor. The stone fragments that hit it made a bunch of holes in it.
To check its status detailed, Leon uses 'analyze' on it.
[Woldymir Armor Set]
[Rank: 2]
[Material: Reinforced Iron]
[Defence: 150>132]
[Durability: 68/100]
[(When All Equipped) Effects: +3 VIT +3 AGI]
"Ugh, I haven't even used it properly," Leon complained.
"At least it is still usable after that attack." Leon said.
Getting the Tyrfing out of his inventory, "And it seems that with my current stats, I'm not ready for Trial-28" Leon felt weak, just like he was at his first levels. So he started training again, as sitting here won't help him with Trial-28. After all, he is on his own here, no prayer, no one, no god can't save him from here other than himself and his determination. Leon will not give up like him…
….
..
.
[REMAINING TIME: 60 SECONDS]
In the centre of hell, a man and a golem are looking at each other from opposite sides. But if you look at the man closely, you can see the melted parts of his armor with many holes in it, like the man came out of hundreds fight.
*INHALE*
Leon takes a deep breath when the golem moves its legs to run towards to him.
Leon started counting as the golem get closer and closer.
"4"
"3"
"2"
"1"
"Activate [LOWER MANA ARMOR]," Leon says as the golem raises its arm to crush him. Channeling his Qi to his lower parts, Leon jumps to left, causing the golem's punch miss him.
[-40 Qi] [Qi: 110/150]
[DURABILITY: 90/100]
[REMAINING TIME: 49 SECONDS]
Touching to ground again, Leon counts his steps while walking to back.
…
"5"
…
"10"
Stopping in his 10th step, Leon looks at the golem that is coming towards to him to crush him under its foot.
Leon counts again.
"5"
"4"
"3"
"2"
"1"
"Right leg…" Leon mumbles before the golem tries to crush him underneath its foot.
[-70 Qi] [Qi: 40/150]
Jumping to left while channeling Qi, "Six, one to head, three to chest, and two to legs…" Leon said to himself when the golem creates a shock-wave.
*SLASH*
*SLASH*
[-40 Qi] [Qi: 0/150]
Swiftly swinging the Tyrfing while channeling Qi in it, Leon cuts in the air every fragment of stone and magma that is coming towards to him, like knowing where they exactly will come.
[REMAINING TIME: 30 SECONDS]
Touching the ground again, Leon runs while counting his steps, as the golem absorbs mana from air.
"12"
"11"
...
"5"
...
"2"
...
"0"
"Jump in 3,2,1," Leon says before jumping as the golem fires stone fragments towards him after absorbing enough mana.
*SWOOSH*
*SWOOSH*
In air, before touching to ground again, Leon dodges dozens of stone fragments with just inches.
[REMAINING TIME: 14 SECONDS]
As the golem starts running towards him again, Leon just looks at it blankly while counting seconds.
"10"
...
"8"
...
"4"
Leon continues counting seconds as the golem lands its fist on smashing Leon.
"3"
"2"
"1"
"0"
*SWOOSH*
[DURABILITY: 50/100]
A blast of hot air hits Leon's mana armor as the golem stops abruptly when there are only a few inches between Leon's face and the golem's fist.
[TRIAL-28 HAS BEEN COMPLETED]
Touching the golem's fist that stands just a few inches away from him, "You took me 12 deaths," Leon smiled.

Risen
Note: Slight edits to early chapters (and removal of one chapter - previously chapter 2) have been made 2/2/21 The city, my city, had once been alive in a way that was hard to describe. Thriving, active, hopeful. Vibrant. But life, as I had come to learn, sometimes possesses only the most tenuous of grasps. Finally, in the end, it became my city - mine alone. I was, after all, the only one left. Worse, it was entirely my fault. There was red in my ledger that could never be wiped clean. Not while I still lived, anyway. This story follows Eran, a man who became the opposite of everything he had ever wanted to be; in a world where superpowers began to appear in a rare few, his lack of control over his own power relegated him to the role of a terrible villain - the Reaper, named so for the countless lives that he absorbed and made his own, each only furthering his deadly lack of control. Gone mad with guilt and isolation, he strove for a single heroic act - his own demise. Death was less permanent than he hoped. Centuries later, he woke to a changed world and in a body not his own. Unfortunately, his power came with him. Yet this time, things would be different. This time, he had a chance to bring it under control. He could never truly make up for the things he had done; he could never achieve redemption. That wouldn't stop him from trying to be a hero. Cover courtesy of the amazing Vitaly S Alexius, author of Romantically Apocalyptic. Go check him out!

The 48 Laws of Power in Practice
Discover how power works in the world, through true stories and real-world applications. In the game of power, we all play - as either conscious or unconscious players. So we can't afford not to know the rules. The ** chapters have the most outrageous content. In each chapter, I will be summarizing one of the laws and how it can be applied to current events and pop culture. Some of you have told me the stories are what you enjoy the most. They are real, raw, and anonymous so that others may learn from my mistakes. There will be cringe-worthy stories of self-sabotage, but perhaps also some unlikely triumphs. Some of the details are changed to protect the innocent, (or perhaps guilty). "The 48 Laws of Power" by Robert Greene illustrates truths about power, through philosophy and lessons from three thousand years of history, which still hold true today. There is a lot to learn from each chapter. I encourage you to go on this journey with me by reflecting on how each law might apply to you. Together, may we learn from the past and take control of the future.
