[Welcome Esteemed Guest!]
A sudden voice rang inside Kim Shin head that caused him to be startled.
Kim Shin looked around his surroundings to make sure that there's no one behind him. Because, he didn't believe that the old man at front of him is the one that just talked, since the man lips didn't even make a single movement.
But, Kim Shin doesn't find anyone besides the old man at his front.
[I am Malkthanem, the Rest Guardian]
[For you to came here after millions of years, is precisely the will of fate.]
[I supposed that you're here to take the Trial Inheritance of my Majesty?.]
Kim Shin was confused by the sudden development, He can't grasp anything by the old man inquiry.
"What, trial?.."
Kim Shin questioned confusedly.
[Didn't you come here because of the inheritance, So why do you have the key to the tomb of my majesty?]
"Huh?."
Kim Shin was baffled about the statement of the old man.
'What key is this old man saying..AH!?'
He thought, until he remembered the Key he found after defeating the Blue Eyed Black Dragon.
With just a thought, he took out an Old Black Key from his inventory.
[Tomb of the Death's Key]
"This Key?"
Kim Shin shivered in fear, after he knew that he can't hide anything from the old man. Even his item in Inventory System easily found by the Old Man.
[The Key to the Majesty's Tomb]
[For you to have that key in your hand is sufficient evidence to determined that you have skills and eligible to take the Trial Inheritance]
[Esteemed Guest, would you like to take the Trial Inheritance?]
[I've been waiting for quite a long time now, I just wished to complete my promise with my Majesty..]
Kim Shin didn't answer immediately. He just quietly looked up straight to the eyes of the tall old man as his mind rapidly worked.
"Can I ask you a question?" Kim Shin softly asked like whispering.
[Anything.]
But, Malkthanem answered quickly as if he heard Kim Shin loudly and clearly.
"What's the possibility of me dying?"
Kim Shin seriously asked.
[Out of 100, the possibility of you dying in the process is 99]
Malkthanem saw the serious reaction of Kim Shin. So, he answered him truthfully.
[It's based only on your current stats]. Malkthanem followed.
Kim Shin already expected the answer. But, to directly hear from Malkthanem mouth made him want to back out.
But, no he doesn't want to lose this great opportunity.
This type of great opportunity only come's once in a blue moon.
'This the only chance for me to rise up from being weakling'
Kim Shin thought.
"Even if the possibility of me dying is high, I still want to give it a try!." Kim Shin bravely announced.
[Are you really decided to take the trial?]
Malkthanem questioned.
At Malkthanem question, Kim Shin nodded seriously.
[Okay, since you are determined to take the trial. Let's quickly start.] Malkthanem replied. With a flick of his left hand the air around Malkthanem rushed away from him , as he stomped his right hand that holding his staff in the ground .
*BAM!!* *SHAKING~*
The ground shook so hard, as Malkthanem float 4 meters above the ground and made a strange casting spell.
[IN DEI NOMINE MORTIS, UT MALKTHANEM VOLEBAT APERIRE VIAM TUAM AD SEPULCRUM]
Kim Shin crossed his arms, to defend himself from the air current made by Malkthanem as he looked up at Malkthanem.
A big black and white magic circled around with different ancient symbols appeared in the big dome.
Kim Shin was struggling to keep his balance because of the wild air current caused by the magic circle.
*BOOM!* *SHAKING~*
After a few moments, the wild air stopped. As the ground quake once more and, a 3 meter red door rose up from the ground.
Finally, the ground stopped shaking. As, Malkthanem slowly flew down to the ground near the door.
Kim Shin walked near the door and observe the both sides of it.
[Please use the key]
Malkthanem urged Kim Shin.
Still, being confused, Kim Shin hold the black key but he didn't find any key hole where to put the key.
"Uhm, Where should I put thi-!."
Before Kim Shin got to complete his question, the black key was suddenly sucked by the 3 meter red door.
'Woah!'
Kim Shin exclaimed mentally. As, he saw the 3 meter huge door sucked the black key and turned to circular glowing white light like a portal.
[Go, Esteemed Guest, quickly hop in! It might vanish at any moment.]
With an exhale, Kim Shin nodded his head as he quickly pounced inside the glowing light and he vanished along with the portal.
[May the bless of God be with you]
Malkthanem softly said, as he silently bade good luck, Kim Shin.
[I know this not coincidence, It's really worth all the time of waiting to finally found you, the presence of Death] Malkthanem quietly murmured, as he fade away with the wind.
●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●
Kim Shin slowly opened his eyes. As, he found himself lying on a wooden bed wrapped in bandages in an unfamiliar wooden hut.
'Where am I?'
Kim Shin thought. As, he tried to stand up his body.
"Ugh!."
Kim Shin groaned in pain, as he fell back on the bed.
'What the h*ck?."
Kim Shin cursed inwardly, he didn't know how and where he got his injury. He clearly remembered that, after he goes inside the portal he suddenly lost consciousness.
*Knock* *Knock*
A sudden knocked come that caused Kim Shin to be startled and, the door was slowly opened and revealed a plain look teenager girl with brown hair. Clad in a rugged green garb, a innocent smile were shown on her chubby face while holding a bowl of food in her hands.
"Good evening, Brother Hyunsik. I brought you porridge please eat this, so you can recover faster" The teenager girl said and smiled.
"Uhm, sorry. But, who might be you?."
Kim Shin asked in confusion. Because, he really didn't know who is this girl.
"Ehh?, Brother, It's me Sheena. Don't you remember me?. Is that. Because, your head was beaten so hard that you forgot who I am?." Sheena answered solemnly.
"If you didn't bother the teasing of Gran to me, you won't be beaten badly like that" Sheena continued.
Kim Shin just silently listened in Sheena. Because, his mind right now is in chaotic.
He didn't know what's happening. Did he die again and transmigrate into a different body(?)
"Ugh.."
Kim Shin head suddenly ached, for thinking so hard.
