244 Elysian

The entry to the trial exuded a vibe distinct from that of a dream chamber. Inside a virtual dreamscape, one is somewhat aware of being in a different space, isolated from reality, where only one's mind performs tasks. However, the space he found himself in did not differentiate between illusion and reality.

It was different, yet just another reality where all his faculties needed to be utilised to progress further.

[Welcome to Elysian.]

[Your trial is to climb the mountain path ahead of you to reach the peak. If you succeed, the immortal residing there will grant you a wish.]

[You can surrender in your quest. Surrendering will eject you out of Elysian, but falling here may have dire consequences worse than death.]
