In a dark forest a boy of no more than 12 years was running in the woods under the night sky.
"Ha"
"Ha... Ha"
"Ha... Ha... Ha"
"Ha"
His breath was heavy and erratic as he was standing near a tree to catch his breath but then seconds later he began running again.
*Turn left quickly boy*
As if a computer the boy turned left as soon as he heard the voice in his head. *Run straight for 15 meters and then turn right and run full speed ahead*the voice said again and the boy did as told.
Then a minute later the voice sounded again*speed up boy and prepare to jump... quickly now boy 3 meters ahead, jump like your life depends on it oh wait 😁 it does*
The boy picked up speed even though he was already tired and then 1 meter ahead of him was a big trench falling who knows how deep . When he got near the edge he jumped so hard you could swear he was about to fly.
He manged to land on the other side with a roll and got up and continued running straight till he reached what seemed to be a cave covered in moss and vines blocking the entrance.
*Fear not boy and proceed forward*
The boy pushed the vines aside and entered the dark cave, fear gripped at his feet but he continued forward till he reached an opening. When he went inside he was surprised to see it brightly lit with the ceiling standing high at 25 meters on the walls on either side of the cave were torches, four to be exact on each wall , and the other behind abyss above the entrance, though what was weird was that instead of an orange yellow flame the fire on these torches was red.
The boy looked around awed by the color of the torches then while his eyes were still darting around the room, there in the middle was a strange alter on were words written in a language he didn't understand but then above it he saw it , the thing that was calling to him a blood red crystal 1 centimeter in diameter was floating above the alter.
After staring at it for about a minute the crystal spoke but this time the voice was not in the boy's head, it sounded genderless but you could detect a male's voice if you listened carefully.
"Tell me boy Do you want power" the crystal spoke.
" W-what k-ind of p-p-power" the boy stuttered under the overbearing voice. "Do not stutter boy, stand tall and proud even in the face of death do not show fear and nothin shall stand in your path... Now I ask again tell me boy , Do you want Power" the voice said.
As if a command the boy stopped stuttering the boy and stood proud and answered in a confident voice "yes I want power, to crush my enemies, to protect those I love and to reign supreme "the boy said.
" Ask and you shall receive however boy this power comes at a cost so tell me are you willing to sacrifice something to get this power "the voice asked.
" I have nothing to lose so I accept with absolute certainty "the boy said.
" I see then power you shall be granted... When you wake up, you will everything within your grasp and the power you so desire will yours and you only you will reign supreme boy"the voice said.
" Thank you "the boy said weakly before passing out.
The crystal floated off the alter and disappeared into the boy's chest.
*Huh let the games begin *the voice said before going quiet.
