Chapter 14 - Assigning

While the two fighters who bring commotion are being stunned by the pressure, Overseer prepares the ritual as he ordered the Candidates to form a line as the Floor Assigning Ritual Procession will begin in five minutes.

Meanwhile, Sayge and the other administrator ask Overseer to release their Candidate since it's the Candidate's right to join the procession undisturbed. Overseer agreed and released the two candidates.

After being released, Rangga tries to get up as he feels lighter and as he stands he approach Hashra to help Sayge and administrator Kork to stand up.

" Don't worry guys I'm alright !!!! " said Hashra as he finally stands and suddenly he looks at Rangga.

" Hey 'human', what do they call you ? " ask Hashra suddenly while giving his hand.

Rangga thinks for a bit as he tries to analyze the situation with system helping him due to its unseen interface in the other people's eyes.

< Subject: Hashra >

< Label: Safe >

< note: three labels are used to define a person's intention. >

< First, Safe: this label is for another person's good intention, user didn't need to worry about them. >

< Second, Suspicious: this label is for another person's suspicious intention. user should raise your suspicions. >

< Third, Threat: this label is for another person's bad intention that needs to be dealt with immediately. >

"( You since the label is safe, basically he wants to be friends huh ... )" Rangga said in his mind while grabbing his hand.

" You can call me Rangga, you ? " he said as they're handshaking.

" Hashra, candidate of Asura ancient beast sin of Wrath !! " "

" Nice to meet you, I'm surprised that your strength is almost near mine, by the way, what's your ancient beast and sin relation? " Hashra asks to Rangga.

As Hashra said that all of the candidates in the hall looks at them as their curiosity peaked.

" No way that human got recognition from a Wrath sin candidate !! "

" Wrath sin candidate, so that four-armed giant is the one represents the strongest sin in the monster realm. !!! "

" Is that human a wrath sin too? if that's right then all of the reasons for him to win make sense !!! "

" No it couldn't be, heard from the administrators that Hashra is the last candidate to bear that sin. "

As the people there murmured at him, Rangga looks at Sayge for an answer as he seemed to not be informed about this detail in the orientation days. Seeing Rangga's expression Sayge began to speak what sin that Rangga represents.

" No he's not from the Wrath Sin, according to Overseer's data, this human child sin representation is .... "

" The ... "

" Lost the ancient beast sin of Vanity !!! " Sayge said to the crowd.

Hearing that everyone began to look at each other as they ask the other Candidates and their administrator about what the hell is that sin.

" Lost the ancient beast sin of Vanity ?? "

" Who the hell is the ancient beast 'Lost'? I never heard of it... ? "

" What the hell is Vanity .... a new sin ??? " ask one of the Candidates to the others.

The crowd begins to talk about this and that while Rangga just looks at Sayge hoping that he would give him and everyone a proper explanation about what the hell is that.

Rangga too was very confused about that statement as he knows ancient beasts like Asura from Hindu myths, Curruid from Celtic myths, Kronos from the Greek myths, etc but Lost okay who named this ancient beast with the name Lost.

" Ummmm Sayge would you mind explaining to me properly who the hell is this ancient beast Lost and the sin of Vanity and why didn't you tell me before !!!!? Rangga asked to say with still a confused face.

Hearing the question, all of the people there just stared at Sayge including the administrators who stares sharply at him. Seeing how the whole hall reacts, Sayge began to make a pose.

" Well about that this Ummm ..... I was trying to .... told you about that .... but ... " Sayge murmured as he states his defense.

In the top Overseer take a deep breath and asked the candidates again to return to their lines so the procession could be quick.

" Okay okay candidates, you can all talk about his sin and ancient beast relation later because we need double-time to finished this process before tomorrow !!! " Overseer demands as he cast the ritual circle below the candidates to speed things up.

"(( Obvalios arema Ovaliru Resija Ovalino residu oval asino ..... ))"

As Overseer start the process, Hashra began to shook Rangga's hand as he wanted to return to his guild and ask Rangga to join his guild if he wanted to as he returns to his guild in the Fourth line.

Meanwhile, Rangga enter the Fifth line as the procession started a light began to emit from the ground as suddenly all of the candidates fainted.

( After Rangga fainted due to the light )

" Hello, child are you the one who will represent me ..... !!! "

Rangga awakes as he saw an eye, a giant green eye that radiates the green radiance of an emerald. Rangga is stunned as he can't talk is it because of fear, hypnotize, or admiration as he has never seen a big thing in from of him before in any way possible.

"( Oh my god .... what the hell is that !!!!!!!!!!!? )"

"( So fricking huge !!!!!!!! )"

Rangga nods his head, seeing that the thing with green eyes takes a deep breath, and said, " I see the essence of Vanity is already implanted to your body perfectly huh ..... and it seems you've also got used to that kind of sin even in your birth."

Hearing that, Rangga thinks to himself as he never knew about his relations to Vanity sin before.

"( Wait for Vanity since I'm a child .... )"

"( If I remember correctly when searching in *Worldpedia (Basically Wikipedia), doesn't Vanity means an excessive belief in one's abilities or attractiveness to others and god's help is not needed. )"

"( Then if it just like says that the sin of Vanity already appear when I'm a child, when did it happen cause I never remembered having an excessive belief in my abilities since I don't have any besides my brain that's why Ultima Academy accepted me. )"

" So if that's the case if the Vanity sin is implanted to me even when I'm a child or when my birth then ..... "

" What is its relation to what we're gonna do now? " ask Rangga.

Hearing that question the thing answered, " To assign you of course to the floor you will land first in the Grand Pit. "

" And also this meeting is dedicated for me to give you my blessings .... "

" ... use it well to win the 'vessel' position ..... child. " the thing says as his eyes shine to Rangga as he gives his 'blessings' to him.

( Back to reality )

" Candidate no. 1342994 hello can you hear me ..... ??? " ask a person waking Rangga up.

"Does he die during the process ?? " someone asked seeing Rangga's condition.

" No he still breathes and his floor seal is already marked in his body so he succeeds .."

" Wake up !!!! " that person says while slapping Rangga's face.

" Gaaaaahhhhh !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! "

Rangga awakens from his slumber as he saw his hand marked with a black seal and as he saw everyone, everyone gives him a sharp stare seeing his mark.

" That mark isn't it "

" Yes, that is .... "

" The 'Torture Floor Mark' !!!!!!!!!!!"

" He's been assigned to the 'Torture Floor " hahaha !!!!!!!!!!!!!! "

< You've been assigned >

< You've been assigned to the Torture Floor the Eighth and the lowest floor in the pit. >
