When Jack walked out of the door, he found himself in the familiar plaza with the challenge obelisks.
"Ready to take on the next challenge stages?" He heard a voice from the side. He turned and found a smiling young Janus there.
Now that he saw this friendly beaming face again, he realized that the real Janus never smiled during their conversation. The man appeared somber and overly serious. Probably almost like the stoic old version who was in the Mage Academy. Jack wondered if the old Janus was what the real one would turn into when he became older. But why made copies that were different from his real age?
Jack decided to not bother about this question. He had many other things to worry about.
"Yes, I would like to take on challenge stage 59," he answered the smiling young Janus.
"This way, please," Janus took Jack to the obelisk with the floating number 59 on it.
