As Paxton was immersed in the bright light, a blue screen appeared in his iris, projected upon the word for him to see.
The test had ended, and what a rush it was. He had not even received any severe injury during the whole ordeal, something he would have to thank his luck and skill for.
[CALCULATING NUMBER OF MISSIONS PASSED…]
[CONGRATULATIONS, PAXTON ZEN. YOU ARE AMONGST THE 0.5% OF CHALLENGERS TO COMPLETE ALL MISSIONS]
'what? I passed all four…how?' He wondered in surprise, his pupils constricting at the thought.
[1. FIND THE SOLACK SPIES WITHIN THE DIVISION.
DESPITE THE DIFFICULT TASK OF ENTERING THE BATTLEFIELD WITH ONLY YOUR MEMORIES, YOU FIGURED OUT THE SPIES WERE BUGS AND BROUGHT THEM DOWN. YOUR WISDOM IN YOUR DECISION-MAKING IS PALPABLE]
[2. SAVE AT LEAST A HUNDRED SLAVES OR A HUNDRED SOLDIERS.
YOUR DECISION TO KILL THE SLAVE KING TO STOP THE BATTLE HAD NOT SAVED ONLY A HUNDRED SOLDIERS BUT ALSO A HUNDRED SLAVES THAT WOULD HAVE LOST THEIR LIVES IN THE WAR. THIS WAS DONE TO TEST YOUR LOVE BUT YOUR APPLICATION OF WISDOM WAS ONCE AGAIN PALPABLE]
[3. MAKE A MIRACLE.
THE FIGHT AGAINST THE SLAVE KING WAS INITIALLY A LOSS TO THE ARMY BUT THANKS TO YOUR QUICK DECISIONS. THE ARMY HAD WON THE BATTLE WITH THE DEATH OF THE SLAVE KING. THIS WAS DONE TO TEST THE ABILITY FOR YOU TO GIVE FATE TO YOUR SOLDIERS]

Paxton's gaze sparkled in excitement at the thought. It was finally time for him to get his character, a second image of him that would portray abilities never thought possible as a human.
'It's most likely going to be a heroic card ... but the percentage of obtaining others was also high'.
Character rankings were based on Common, Uncommon, Rare, Epic, Heroic, Legendary and Mythic.
So he wasn't all that far from getting a good battle card. It affected one growth and skills as a player and was of importance to challengers.
A good character meant a bright future as a player; a bad one…meant a terrible start, but the future was never certain.

Silence followed as Paxton widened his eyes slowly. He read down his status screen, surprise etched in his gaze.
He was about to read through his skills when the server spoke out once again.
[CHARACTER CREATION AND INITIALIZATION COMPLETE]
[SELECT A NAME FOR YOUR CHARACTER]
Paxton stared at his screen, his gaze going over the screen. 'sound?' He thought, His shoulders slumping slightly.
His condition gave him hypersensitivity to sound and now his character properly was exactly the source of his condition. How was he supposed to use something like that?
The last message of the server went through his head, recollecting how he was tested for the four virtues of humanity and he passed all.
'If I really had courage…then I should be confident in using it ....somehow I should be able to use it'.
He sighed, his thoughts reeling in as names popped up in his head. 'I remember what my classmates said about people who have nightmares. They used a dreamcatcher as a result, to catch the nightmares…or so they said'.
His test was something like that, akin to a nightmare as he was thrown into the battlefield only to come out unscathed.
Though, he did have a concussion at some point and went unconscious for nearly twenty-four hours. Conquering once nightmares, as well as the Test Of Humanity had become a stepping stone for him.
'name…since it's sound…Sound Catcher?' He thought as he looked up at the Blue screen.
"Sound Catcher".
He said, his tone lingering with hesitation as the server spoke out once again.
[NAME REGISTERED]
[WELCOME, PLAYER SOUND CATCHER TO THE WORLD OF POSSIBILITIES]
The world suddenly shone bright from light, his eyes nearly going blind from its might.
He closed his eyes, the world warping around him as he suddenly opened his eyes, his body jerking up from the wall as he heaved greatly.
A calm silence suffused him, his vision and senses slowly returning to him as a masculine voice snapped him from his senses.
"Challenger Paxton…or should I say Player Paxton".
Shaking his head slightly, Paxton looked up to find Mr. Rodis staring at him.
His senses slowly returned to him, and he glanced around to find himself, once again in the white room.
Only, he was the last person left.
"Where are the others?" He asked.
"Oh, they've all completed their tests….or…died doing so. You were the last one left" Mr. Rodis said with a slight chuckle as he wrapped his arms around his shoulder.
"You won't believe how scared your classmates were when they woke up to find you still unconscious".
'Scared?' Paxton thought as he was led out of the white room.
On going out, Player Down approached the room with four other figures in white; their gazes widened in shock on seeing Paxton.
"You came out alive?" the player down said, his voice laced with hesitation and surprise.
Paxton nodded. "Of course. There was no other way" he said with a smile as they walked past them. Paxton glanced at the four men on white. He recognized their uniform as Morticians.
'Seems like they assumed me dead'.
Paxton raised a brow in surprise. "Wait….how long was I out for?" He asked.
"Oh…don't be frightened. A day in the Test accounts for an hour," Mr. Rodis explained. "and spending more than three hours and thirty minutes is akin to you dying".
"I see". Paxton nodded as they continued walking towards another room. "And where are we going?"
"Of course, to the Player sermon. It's time to teach you guys everything you need to know about being a Player". Mr. Rodis explained with a smile.
"Once again, congratulations, Player Paxton".
