Chaos Devourer System

Chapter 22: The Trail Begins

Zeras sat down in the cacophony, a new emotion streaking in him as he watched both alien races and human groups relate to each other.

The numbering and noise were really loud but it all stopped when three men dressed in an EIA uniform mysteriously appeared on the dais.

The crowd went silent as they all stood up immediately. It was more of an unofficial rule to stand up when one sees an EIA official.

One of the men, extremely muscular with dark hair and eyes walked out of the trio as he arrived in front of the dais.

His eyes contained a shade of black that looked horrifying and a scar ran through his face crossing his left eye and stopping at his cheek.

One thing was sure, he was a very fierce warrior.

“I believe we are all gathered here today for the entrance examination.” The man began, his voice booming loudly so much they reverberated continuously in the ears of about a thousand people.

“The entrance examination or should I say the trial to joining the EIA for this year will take place in this tower just behind me, the Dimension Tower.

Why is it called the Dimension Tower? Because this tower is an interconnection of different Dimensions, recording their history.

Entering into the Tower, you will be given a trial in one of its dimensions. Passing the trial means you’re qualified to join the EIA and besides you get a reward for passing the trial given by the tower itself.

Failing the trial means you failed the EIA test and you’ll obtain nothing.” The man said, giving them time to digest his words.

“If you’re in doubt whether the Tower will be partial and some missions might be harder than others. Then you’re wrong. The Tower is a good identifier of one’s talent and will give you an equivalent trial of your talent.

That means an E-grade gene awakener will be given a trial at the peak of his talent. A C-grade will also be given an equivalent trial at the peak of his talent.

That means, even if you’re only an E-grade, you can still pass the trial as it’s just to the peak of your talent.

If you have greater talent, then you just might be given a more difficult trial due to your peak of talent being higher, but that also means your reward will be higher…”

Zeras listened carefully to him, digesting his words. From what he could gather, one thing was sure, he was fucked. He had an SSS-grade Gene. That is probably the greatest talent that could be found here which meant he would be given the hardest trial among them but that also meant his reward would be greater than others.

“You’ll be awarded points based on how good you performed and we even have the top three best rank. The higher you’re ranked, the more points you can obtain which will help you immensely in the EIA. As for those with the top three ranks, they’ll be given an extra reward by EIA itself.

So people, do your best in the trial. And when I say your best…I mean your peak best.” The man said, a sinister smirk on the side of his lips.

“With that said, you might wonder about the trial time. That is determined by the trial itself, but everyone will be evicted at the same time and it will only be within three days though years can go by in the trial itself.”

The timeline is also different. Zeras mused. Years in the tower might just be a day in reality, but all will be evicted in the next three days.

“Lastly, death is not an option in the trial. If you fail, you’ll only be evicted but everything in the trial is very real so be extremely careful within and don’t think you can’t die and act stupidly.

With all that said. Welcome future soldiers to the Dimension Tower.” The man said as a wave of light emanated from the tower. It shone on all the participants making them all immediately disappear at once, no doubt transported into it.

“How do you think the trial will go this year, Vardorf? One of the EIA officials said to the man.

“I’m sure about 800 of them failing brutally,” Vardorf said uninterested.

“The EIA might have gone too far in its Trial this time. This is probably the hardest trial in its history. But it’s also the most rewarding. Besides, we get to obtain only the best among the participants due to the tower conditions.

Hopefully, we’re shocked by the results.” The last one among them, a man with blue-coloured skin said as they sat down looking at the huge monolith.

And so the EIA trial successfully began.
