"WIS, has a plan for making sure I don't cheat".
~{THAT'S TRUE...
WHERE IS HE WIS?}~
"Yea, where WIS?"
~{WHERE IS ...}~ "JUSTICE?" Asked ETON and THE GOD OF...
WIS ignoring both, stands from his seat and began walking away from the center of the hall.
~{HE'S LEAVING?}~
"AWWW. Common, where is he WIS?"
"When you two are done playing, please do well to leave, GOD OF EAVESDROPPING and get back to working ETON". WIS replied to their teasing.
~{GOD OF EAVESDROPPING?
DAMN, MUST SUCK TO BE CALLED THAT.
PFFT}~
"Common WIS, you know we're just having fun. But in all honesty, where is..."
~{JUSTICE?
ANSWER AND WE'LL LET YOU OFF THE HOOK}~
WIS opens the GATE to THE BRAIN.
"You can rest on your own hook. I'm off". He replies walking into his GATE.
~{DAMN, HE REALLY IS IT}~
"YUP, he sure is it".
~{CAN'T BELIEVE HE REALLY WAS IT}~
"WE NEED TO TELL GOM GOM THAT WIS WAS IT... PFFT".
WIS stops and with a frown.
"WILL YOU TWO STOP IT ALREADY! WHAT DO YOU WANT? ALRIGHT, ALRIGHT. JUSTICE IS IN HIS REALM. AND I'LL PERSONALLY DELIVER THE SUMMARY OF THE MEETING TO HIM!". HE yells.
~{OHHHH...
SCA...RRRYYYY}~
"BAS....TARRRRRDDDD... PFFT. HAHAHA"
~{HAHAHA}~
"When you're both done wasting away, do well to contact THE GOD OF LAUGHTER to join in your retarded behaviors". He says as he shut his GATE angrily behind him.
"Bunch of clowns".
~{WHO WAS THAT?}~
"I think it was THE GOD OF WRATH. Pfft".
~{WRATH... PUAHAHA. OKAY, THAT WAS A GOOD ONE ETON}~
"Anyways, let's head back to work and eavesdropping... Pfft".
~{HEY?
THAT WAS DIRECTED AT ME...
ANYWAYS, I THINK THIS IS ABOUT TO BECOME AN INTERESTING STORY.
I'LL TAG ALONG WITH SAGE.
HE'S JOURNEY SHOULD BE MORE INTERESTING.
SEE YOU IN THE TOURNAMENT, OLD FRIEND}~
"See you in the tournament, young friend... pffthahaha".
~{HAHAHA...}~
"Well, now it's just me and my hall. Guess I better head back to THE WORKSHOP. This is definitely going to be interesting". He says to himself as both him and the hall disappears in a flash.
...
Meanwhile.
"DOOM".
His gate closes behind him.
WIS stands in a layer of his REALM known as THE SOLUTION.
A layer filled with tiny creatures running around, asking each other questions and giving solutions to each problem.
"Chief". One called out to him as he walked through this blue layer.
"Yea".
"What happens if HE doesn't agree to move?" It asked.
WIS stops. And immediately every single creature in this infinite sized layer stopped moving.
"Then I'll tease him with something else. Something I know will make him move. But he's sure to move alright. Trust your CHIEF". WIS replied.
"Yay". They all screamed.
"Now get back to working on every possible problem that could arise and generating every possible solution that could solve them". He says sinking into the floor as he headed into another layer, called THE MAZE.
A green layer, with a MAZE that has no ending, but multiple points for gaining WIN POINTS spread across it's infinite area.
WIS lands Six Billion FRIS to the left of one of the WIN POINTS location.
HE began walking and coming across obstacles and riddles that creates hidden passage to move nearer to the WIN POINT.
"Guess I should head to HOUSE OF THE JUST". He says to himself. "Hopefully JUSTICE won't make things more difficult for me".
A riddle appears in front of him, on the left turn he took, with the writings... "I MOVE, BUT NEVER MOVE. I STAND BUT NEVER STAND. I SIT BUT NEVER SIT. I CRAWL BUT NEVER CRAWL. WHO AM I?" Written in gold, floating in between him and a lake of blue volcano.
"THE GOD OF SPEED".
"CHING... BINGO..."
The lake covers up and he walks down taking a right shortcut and another left perfectly avoiding a dead end.
He walks into another riddle, which he answers, making the multiple spears pointing at him to disappear.
He walks some more, taking lefts and rights and answering every riddle that came his way.
And "DOOM", he was at the WIN POINT.
A journey that would have taken any other GOD OF SOMETHING TO COME, at least 100 PIONS.
Was completed in less than quarter of one.
He picks up a floating gold coin and tosses it in the air.
It lands on HEADS, signifying "YOU MAY LEAVE".
He breaks the coin and swallows it, immediately teleporting into THE WORLD OF SILENCE.
There he opens a GATE leading to HOUSE OF THE JUST and walks into it, with the GATE closing behind him.
"DOOM"
~{I KNOW YOU ALL ARE DYING TO KNOW ABOUT THIS LAYER KNOWN AS THE MAZE.
SO LET ME DO SOMETHING.
REMEMBER I WAS TALKING ABOUT THE GODS OF SOMETHING TO COME A FEW CHAPTERS AGO.
WELL, LET'S CONTINUE THAT.
WE'LL TALK ABOUT THE MAZE AND HEAD BACK TO WIS AND THE HOUSE OF THE JUST.
AFTER ALL, HOUSE OF THE JUST IS A BEAUTIFUL AND ORDERLY REALM.
ORDERLY... HAHA, SEE WHAT I DID THERE.
ANYWAYS, FOR EVERY GOD OF SOMETHING TO COME, THERE'S A REALM TIED TO EACH ONE.
I ALREADY EXPLAINED GOD REALMS.
SO LET'S MOVE ON.
THE GODS OF SOMETHING TO COME HAVE THE ABILITY TO TELEPORT TO AND FROM THEIR REALMS.
THEY ALSO HAVE THE ABILITY TO FORCEFULLY TELEPORT ANOTHER GOD INTO ANY LAYER OF THEIR CHOICE WITHIN THEIR REALMS.
I'M SURE A LOT OF YOU ALREADY UNDERSTAND WHAT THIS MEANS AND WHAT I'M TRYING TO SAY.
YES.
THAT MEANS THEY CAN TRAP YOU IN PARTS OF THEIR REALMS THAT COULD MEAN CERTAIN DEATH OR NO ESCAPE.
THE MAZE IS ONE OF THOSE TYPES OF PLACES.
THE GOD OF WISDOM, WIS.
IS A GOD WHO IS WISE AND ALL, NOT A BRAWLER.
HENCE HE. HAS ALTERNATIVES TO HELP HIMSELF IN BEATING AND MESSING WITH THE OTHER GODS WHO TRY TO CHALLENGE HIM.
AND ONE OF HIS FAVORITE LAYERS TO DO THIS WITHIN HIS REALM IS THE MAZE.
THE MAZE, LIKE IT'S NAME SUGGESTS IS A LAYER WITHIN THE BRAIN.
AN INFINITE MAZE WITH NO ENDING AND NO BEGINNING.
A RANDOM DROP POINT AND MULTIPLE WIN POINTS.
ALL YOU HAVE TO DO TO EITHER PROGRESS OR LEAVE IS TO GET A WIN POINT.
FLIP A COIN AND HOPE TO GET HEADS FOR EXITING, BE STRONG ENOUGH TO BREAK SOMETHING MEANT TO BE BROKEN BY THE STRENGTH OF A GOD.
THEN SWALLOW IT AND THINK OF WHERE YOU WANT TO GO.
VERY EASY RIGHT?
OR YOU COULD GET TAILS AND KEEP ON PLAYINGS IN WIS' MAZE UNTIL YOU GATHER 10 MORE TAILS TO EQUATE TO A HEAD.
THE MOMENT YOU GET A TAIL, EVERY COIN AUTOMATICALLY SWITCHES TO TAILS ON BOTH SIDES.
A PERFECT WAY FOR WIS TO MESS WITH ANY GOD.
DON'T TRY TO DESTROY ANY WALLS AROUND THE MAZE.
THE LAST GOD TO THAT HAD TO BEG WIS TO LET HIM OUT.
ATTACKING THE MAZE EQUATES TO THE MAZE TO TELEPORT YOU TO SEE EVERY WIN POINT.
THEN SENDS YOU BACK TO WHERE YOU ORIGINALLY STARTED.
MEANING YOU JUST EXPERIENCE TELEPORTING THROUGH AN INFINITE LAYER TO OVER A MILLION WIN POINTS, JUST TO RETURN TO WHERE YOU STARTED.
MEANWHILE THE PLACE YOU DESTROYED INSTANTLY REPAIRS IT SELF ON IMPACT.
FLYING OR FLOATING IS IMPOSSIBLE WITHIN THE MAZE.
IF YOU TRY GOING UP, YOU'LL GO UP FOREVER.
THIS IS ANOTHER REASON WHY WE CALL WIS A SCARY BASTARD.
AND LIKE YOU READ EARLIER.
IT TAKES ANY OTHER GOD OF SOMETHING TO COME THAT ISN'T WIS 100 PIONS TO SUCCESSFUL GET TO A WIN POINT.
THAT'S 100 MILLION YEARS IN YOUR TIME.
GOOD LUCK WITH LIVING THAT LONG.
OH YES, RIDDLES.
RIDDLES WRITTEN IN GOLDEN LETTERS APPEAR AT RANDOM POINTS.
ANSWER A RIDDLE CORRECTLY AND YOU'LL GET A SHORT CUT THAT PREVENTS YOU FROM HITTING DEAD ENDS AND DRAWS YOU NEARER TO A WIN POINT.
FAIL A RIDDLE AND...
WELL, JUST KEEP IN MIND THAT THE BLUE VOLCANO LAKE AND WEAPONS THAT WERE AROUND WIS WERE DESIGNED TO ACTUALLY DEAL DAMAGE TO A GOD OF SOMETHING TO COME.
I WONDER HOW A MORTAL CAN SURVIVE THAT.
BY THE WAY, JUST AS A REMINDER.
WITHIN THE GOD REALM OF A GOD OF SOMETHING TO COME.
THEY ARE OMNIPOTENT.
HENCE, PASSIVES ARE LITERALLY USELESS WITHIN ANOTHER GOD'S REALM.
ANY ABILITY THEY WANT SWITCHED OFF WITHIN THEIR REALM WILL BE SWITCHED OFF WITHIN THEIR REALM.
NOW HAVE A GOOD LIFE AND NEVER GET WIS ANGRY LIKE I AND ETON DID.
HE LEFT US COS' WE BOTH HAD JOBS TO...
MY JOB ISN'T EAVESDROPPING.
HMPHHH...}~
WIS' GATE opens in HOUSE OF THE JUST on a layer known as LAW AND ORDER.
A layer with multiple LAWS written everywhere.
The ground, the air, the water, on everything.
Everything was a LAW.
Within this city like layer, there was one ORDER.
And that was to obey every LAW.
WIS begins walking at a silver street.
The LAW of this street was to walk down facing backwards.
On reaching the end of this Seventy Million FRIS street, was a river.
The river was transparent down till the bottom.
The LAW of this river was to swim to the bottom and back to the top till one gets to the end.
WIS who was still facing backwards, leaps into the river heading straight down.
He hits the bottom of this Billion FRIS deep river and began swimming back up.
He does this four times while heading to the end of the river which was still a Million FRIS away.
"Why am I going through this?" WIS asks himself as he heads back to the bottom of the river.
On reaching the bottom at his Two Thousandth dive.
A bright light shines, enveloping him and the whole river.
"DOOM..."
