'I will protect everyone…' I promised myself as I laid on the ground… I can't help have flash memories of the things we did together on the fortress, to watch it fall with our brothers.
"Are you done?" Mother Olwen said as she appeared within the room again. I barely moved my eyes to meet her before calming my emotions and standing up to face her.
Giving her a deep look, I replied: "...yes". Mother Olwen looked astonished for a second before smiling, "Good, I hope you don't hate me for what happened during the second trial, but this is necessary for you… for your growth".
"Hmm…" I looked at her with dead eyes, "Shame…" I shook my head before looking at the glass ball.

"To transcend your powers, you need to choose a role or your class which is commonly used within your faction," Mother Olwen said as she walked and stood next to me.
I looked at all of the choices with a poker face, no emotions, no feelings, no excitement or sadness…
'Not effective…' I thought as I saw everything and understood their terms well, they are weak. The warrior hacker probably relates to melee, magician refers to the usage of spells, shifter relates to changing into some form of monster, humanoid or animal and the shadow dancer might relate to the usage of buffs or applying it on others.
"What is Demonologist?" I asked mother Olwen as I had some impression on it, "A summoner of demons, a role where your job is to tame demons and use their powers against your enemies- What are you…"
Her eyes widened as I said with a deep voice "I choose randomly", the glass ball began to change, and within a few seconds, the glass ball became a box with question marks all over it.
I didn't stop myself and moved towards it before placing my hands on the box, nothing happened. "Let me tell you the rules before you enter," Mother Olwen said as a giant clock appeared behind her.
"Random role is an exciting choice, rarely appears and very rarely gives something good" Mother Olwen waved her hand, and the entire white room turned into different scenes showing angels, demons, monsters, humans, animals and many other races placing their hands on the random box.
"After picking the random role, you cannot revert it or change it before the 10th transcendence… what you get will change everything, and this includes your personality… are you sure of continuing this path?" Mother Olwen said as she looked at me with worried eyes.
"Yes…" I said with determination, "Good, that is the least I expect from you… child of…" Mother Olwen words ended and my eyes widened as I couldn't hear her finish the sentence.
My hands that were placed on the box got sucked in before pulling my entire body within, and as I struggled hard not to be pulled further, a strong force began to crack all of my bones while pulling me down.
"Argh!" I shouted as the pain was even worth than death, every single part of my body was going through immense pain, never felt before, but for some reason, my mind stopped functioning.
I watched as I lost control of my body and watched stars flashing by me while I was being sucked deep into this endless space before losing my consciousness entirely.
Time went by, and I finally was able to open my eyes to look around me, I was shocked that I was in a damn circus, people laughing around me while watching a man that had a collar around his neck being moved around the small stage by a lion.
'What kind of parallel universe did I come too?!' I thought in shock as the humans around me were laughing like it was normal. I decided to observe longer, and every time the stage changed the performance my eyes got wider and wider.
"... This is messed up" I said in a low voice as I couldn't believe this kind of things is happening. The moment I whispered to myself, all of the crowd turned silent while muttering to the ones next to them and looked at me with a smile, the elephant riding on the human included before they started laughing hard.
"He said this is messed up! He is a joker! Hahahaha!" Everyone laughed as the whispers between them exploded.
My face turned red, and anger began to emerge within me, "Shut up!" I said as I stood from my chair before sending a punch at the one next to me.
Puff! The man that was sitting next to me exploded into cards, I looked around and began to punch everyone, I lost it…
"Hahaha!" Everyone laughed again, harder than before. A few minutes went by and even when I punched everyone, they were still laughing, their numbers were still the same! I looked around and saw the ones that I supposedly killed suddenly sitting in their same spots and laughing while holding their stomachs.
As I was about to blow this entire place up with my full strength, silence covered every part of this circus, the people began to reach under their chairs and took out a plague mask before wearing it on their faces.
'What…' I couldn't think before I started coughing, the entire world began to spin around me, but I held my ground by ripping a mask from one of the spectators next to me and wearing it on my face.
"Haha!" Everyone began to laugh again as they stood up and walked towards me. I just kept sending more punches towards their masks destroying them into cards. Observing the situation I knew I was much more powerful than them but this is ridiculous!
♪ The Ruler! Oh, King! ♪
The people began to sing as they kept rushing towards me.
♪ The Ruler! Oh, Queen! ♪
The performers laughed and played their instruments.
♪ The Thief! Oh, Jack! ♪
Drums began to play by the humans with collars.
♪ The Cheater! Oh, Princess! ♪
Then everything stopped, and everyone stopped on their tracks looking at me with their masks on, and small giggling heard within, a violin began to play in a sad tune.
♪ Protector … Oh, Ace… ♪
Then they all turned into cards, and a smiling person appeared within the cards…
