"Please take us to Elysium."

A light illuminated from the ground and began to wrap around the group.

flash*

The five individuals vanished and the first trial begins.

------

Somewhere in Olympus.

"Hermes, tell me the situation."

A haughty-looking middle-aged man commanded.

"Yes, father."

A youth with a handsome face and an athletic body responded lethargically.

"Come on Hermes, you are the fastest god there is. Why sound so tired?"

Hermes looked at the voice next to him and his brows began to furrow.

"Well, I've been busy commuting with the dark gods after the bet was made and now I also have to tend with the labyrinth since apparently there was a mistake. Dionysus."

He slicked his tongue towards the end and turned his face back towards Zeus.

Dionysus had a smile on his face as he enjoyed the annoyed look on his brother's face.

"Haha, come on brother, I was just teasing, I'm sure you're busy so I'll be on my way. I'll see you later Herms, and goodbye father."

Dionysus nonchalantly appeared out of nowhere and disappeared just the same.

Zeus sat on his throne while lazily eating grapes from a nymph's breast.

The nymph was forced to create grapes from her bosom as Zeus ordered her to. She was smiling outwardly but inside she was ashamed. But she definitely cannot show her disgust, especially towards Zeus.

Hermes looked at his father shamelessly licking grapes from another woman's body but ignored it entirely as if he were to say anymore he'll incur the wrath of the chief god.

Hermes sighed and took out a flat white stone. A screen hovered from the top and a message can be seen.

"Father, it seems there was an error coming from the labyrinth as there were only 1,999 participants instead of 2 thousand. The gods administrating the trials reported this issue, and it seems another error also occurred"

"An error?"

Zeus stopped eating the grapes from the nymph's breast, and the nymph shyly retreated her bosom back from her dress.

Zeus waved his hand dismissing the nymph from her duties, and she quickly walked out of sight.

"Explain."

"Sigh*, It seems Persephone was forced to become one of the participants as there was a lacking number in one of the groups."

"Persephone!?"

Zeus exclaimed in surprise and straightened his posture his face turned serious as the atmosphere grew heavy.

"What is the ex-queen of the underworld doing in the Labyrinth? She was exiled from Rath'nia, so her authority should only be in Tartarus. What's going on Hermes..."

Hermes was sweating slightly from the pressure emanating from Zeus.

"The administrators are looking into it, and Daedalus is checking the system's settings. As for Persephone, the Labyrinth permitted her to be an administrator, but it seems that it made her one of the participants instead."

Zeus closed his eyes and opened them again, staring into the distance.

"Was this why you made that bet Lilith?"

"Did you know all along?"

Hermes waited patiently for Zeus to calm down.

"It seems there's not much to do. But..."

Zeus looked at Hermes, his eyes directed at him. Hermes felt the immense pressure crushing his body.

"I need you to keep an eye on these humans, and make sure to report everything with significance, to me immediately."

"Yes, Father."

"Good, now leave."

Hermes disappeared in a flash as a trail of wind blew behind him.

Zeus sat back on his throne and waved his hand in the air.

"Nature nymphs, come out."

5 nymphs in various colors wearing beautiful dresses out of cotton and leaves, reluctantly showed themselves before him as his perverted eyes eyed their beautiful bodies.

"I want green grapes and strawberries this time."

The nymphs nodded their heads in shame and opened up their top dress, revealing their perfectly sized breasts in front of him.

Zeus grinned in pleasure as his gaze was filled with beautiful women all around him.

"Hahh* now this is life hahaha."
