Two hours later, Max stood in front of the monolith with the blob of slime. A black door was visible on the surface of the monolith.
"Go on," the blob said, glancing at Max. "This door will lead you to the fourth floor."
Max glanced at the door before heading toward it. "The inheritance better be worth all of this," he said, looking back at the blob before disappearing into the monolith.
"The inheritance?" The blob shook its head upon hearing Max. "Even I don't have access to the fifth floor, so I don't know whether the so-called inheritance in that place is worth it for anyone."
It mused for a moment. "But I guess we will find out this time." With that, it disappeared from the fourth floor.

After passing through the narrow path in the monolith, Max found himself in a hall. There were eleven others already present.
A smile appeared on his face as Max sensed the strength of each of the individuals before him.
