A huge dark and blurry figure having six limbs, materialized in the sky above the largest volcano. It was so huge that the largest volcano which was seemingly tens of kilometers high could fit into its palms.

"What is going on? Where are we?"

"What is that thing in the sky?"

"A space ship? maybe"

"What's with the trial? There was a competition, right?"

Countless murmuring voices rang out.

"Hello, uh! what was their name again?" a harsh and loud but confused voice rang out, cutting out the murmurs compelling people to covers their heads.

"Oh yeah! Humans. Hello Humans, I am your Trial Instructor. You have two choices. You can choose to proceed to the trial where you will die most probably or you could choose to discontinue and head towards execution zone. Funny Right? HHAHAAH." The dark figure laughed making numerous people faint due to the loudness.

'Why are they falling asleep now? They are too stupid or what?' It thought.

'Damn those messengers! They bring anything these days. No need to choose I guess. Let's just get a tough one and kill them all'

'I never used this one, Right?... Whatever... Let's see the rules of this trial.'

It reached out its hand towards the volcano and a huge scroll came out of it.

Meanwhile the humans on the ground.

"THAT BLACK THING SPEAKS?!!!"

"AAAAHHHH!!! IT'S SO LOUD."

 Piercing shrieks rang out.

After the voice stopped.

"Ah! Is this heaven?"

"No, motherfu*ker it stopped screaming."

"So it means we'll die no matter what?"

"HEY! HUGE DARK BROTHER, CAN WE STRIKE A DEAL?"A smart looking middle-aged man shouted towards the figure with all his might.

"Mommy! I don't want powers anymore."

"Stop it you little shit! You're almost 40."

The Dark figure didn't give a shit about their voices and frowned while looking at the scroll in its gigantic palms.

'I didn't know there was something like this in here.' It murmured to itself

"That was a joke. You have no choice but to face the trial."

"Now, let's start the trial. By the way, there's a rule too. Don't worry it's just one."

"SURVIVE! HAHAHAHHAH"It laughed again in a domineering manner as it said.

"OH FUCK! IT'S SCREAMING AGAIN."

"THIS IS THE TRIAL? IT'S MASSACRE. THIS THING IS KILLING US WITH IT'S SCREAMS."

"IT'S JUST EXPLAINING, YOU STUPID MOTHERFUCKERS!"

The voice was stopped after it laughed.

"Ah! Finally heaven again."

"Shut up! Or I will kill you if the trial doesn't."

The people continued their trash talk when suddenly the environment around them changed. The ground remained the same fiery red but Volcanoes and magma rivers disappeared. A seemingly infinite and flat barren land came into view.

The sky was filled with dark clouds and barely any light could reach the surface making it dim while the ground glowed of red. It was like an Ancient Battle Field with nothing but humans with modern clothes in it.

"What's going on?"

"We teleported?"

"Could be. I won't be surprised even if one of you turns out to be a god."

A cunning looking old man said while he looked at the sky.

"The trial will begin in 999"

The mechanical voice rang out in their heads.

"The fuck? who said it? I know I've heard you somewhere."

"Stupid ass, it's the voice that introduced us to the Den of Trials."

"Uh! but what does it by 999? Seconds? Minutes? What?"

"Well, I guess..."

The speaking man was cut off by the mechanical voice

"The trial will begin in 998."

"What the!!"

"See, I said its counting."

"You said nothing, you bitch."

"Anyways where are those 50 million military guys that were supposed to come?"

"Oh! them? I heard a group 40-50 men calling out for military but I don't think they found anyone."

-Somewhere on a desolate planet in the Milkyway Galaxy-

The little figure known as Juviel could be seen grumping about.

"I thought these fuckers were weak and stupid but so many of them were carrying little knives."

"They don't taste bad but I can't risk it anymore."

"I almost hurt myself swallowing them. Thankfully I have this sweet Soul Stone now and I can strengthen myself internally by slowly absorbing their souls until I go for the next hunt."She turned cheerful from pitiful as she continued speaking.

She thumped on the little planet blowing it to smithereens and flashed towards a nearby star.

-Den of Trials-

"The trial will begin in 807."The mechanical voice rang out again.

"Why the fuck can I still hear it after closing my ears?"

"It ticks every 30 seconds. Goddamn it."

"Man, kill me and be done with it."

"Guys, I think this is the trial and we have to preserve until the countdown ends. I mean it's gonna ring for a while and its voice could induce some to become crazy and kill themselves."

"Bro, I think you're right."

"Right your mommy's ass. It says the trial will begin you dumbass and not end."

The people continued their arguments and trash talk as if they knew they couldn't go through with this. Some people made groups. Some sat alone. Some were looking for things to eat or drink. 

Meanwhile, a 20-year-old youth was going towards the centre of massive number of humans where, a young woman was sitting as if waiting for someone.
