*Please fill your name
Randy filled the mission card with his name after reading it. With the mission given by Ascension System, at least he had a clue where he should go, the Crimson Cloud Kingdom.
But before that, he should come out from this Gateway Trial area. Just as he wanted to take a close look at the wall which surrounded the Gateway Trial, he heard the sound of metal clashed.
Clang! Clang!
The sound was coming from his back. Randy rushed over and saw there were two people fighting. On his right, a man wore a dark blue armor with two meters spear in his hand while on his left was man wore black clothes with two daggers in his hand.
What surprised him was the man on his right. There was a spark of lightning on his dark blue armor. Even though not as intense as Hermit Varikh, the lightning was covering the dark blue armor. As for the man on his left, there was nothing particular on him, but the fight was equal.
"Oh, there is one more," Suddenly Randy heard a sonorous voice in his ears.
Randy looked at his right where the voice came from. He saw there was a man with black skin leaned his back at the sword statue. The man wore a green armor with a sword on his waist and a diamond-shaped shield on his back.
The black didn't wear a helmet so Randy could see the clear feature of his face. Despite the black skin, the man had a fresh-faced, with his buzz cut hair, bulbous nose, and thick lips.
The man with black skin also looked at Randy, he crossed his hand on his chest as he looked at Randy, smiling brightly, showing his white teeth.
"Yo, brother! You are supposed to be from Asia Continent, right?" The man with black skin raised his right hand, greeting Randy with the bright smile.
Randy surprised after hearing what the man with black skin said. He thought this was Ascension World, a different world from earth. How could the man with black skin know about Asia Continent?
'Am I still on earth?'
Randy threw that thought away as clearly the Ascension System told him he was on Ascension World. Also, the main problem was how could the man with black skin recognize him? Currently, he was wearing a helmet, covering his face with only his eyes could be seen. So… how come the man with black skin recognized him?
Hearing no response from Randy, the man with black skin came over while saying with a candid tone, "Don't worry brother, we have the same purpose here, the trial. My name is Assau Limera, you can call me Limera and I'm from Africa Continent,"
Limera came over to Randy with his bright smile while offering his hand. Even though Randy still had suspicious with this man with black skin, Randy got Limera's hand.
"Oh, hello. My name is Randy Christian, you can call me Randy, and yes I'm from Asia Continent," Randy said calmly.
"But how do you know I'm from Asia Continent?" When Randy asked this, clearly his tone showed how suspicious he was toward Limera.
"Nah, it's easy to guess. Look at the two!" Limera didn't mind about Randy's suspiciousness, instead, he smiled and pointed his finger toward the two people who were currently fighting.
"The dude with the dagger is from Europe Continent while the dude with a spear is from America Continent. Those two are from Europe and America while I'm from Africa, so I guessed you are from Asia," Limera explained with his bright smile.
Hearing Limera's explanation, he became less suspicious toward Limera. Randy nodded his head.
"And then, why are these two fighting? Is it because of the mission?" Randy assumed the other three were coming here with the same purpose as him.
"Bingo," Limera was flicking his finger before explaining to Randy, "They are fighting because they got the same mission. If I'm not mistaken, their mission is to protect the Queen of Crimson Cloud Kingdom. After knowing their mission, the dude from America thought by killing the dude from Europe he will get a double reward if he completes the mission alone. That is it,"
"How about you, bro Randy? What is your mission? My main mission is to protect the Crimson Prince of Crimson Cloud Kingdom," Limera told Randy his mission. Afraid Randy would misunderstand him, Limera gave further explanation, "Lets we share the mission each other, helping each other, and come back to Earth together,"
Actually, he wanted to keep his mission secret and act alone later, but after hearing the sincere Limera, Randy could not help but waver and told his mission to Limera, "Good! My mission is to protect the Crimson Princess of the Crimson Cloud Kingdom,"
"Do you know the exit? Lets we get out from here, the sooner we complete the mission, the sooner we will return,"
Randy scanned the wall which was 300 meters away from him, looking for the way out.
'If there's a wall, there must be a gate,'
Sure enough, he saw there was a gate, right at the 300 meters away from where he was. Earlier, he focused on the two which was fighting, so he didn't notice the gate.
"What about those two? Isn't good for four of us are working together as a fellow human who comes from the earth in this unknown world?" Said Limera as he looked at the two who were still fighting.
Despite using a dagger, a short weapon, the man within dark blue armor could not gain any advantage against the man wore black clothes.
Hearing Limera's words, Randy looked at the two. If possible, he didn't want to; he guessed it would be troublesome to team up with people who solved the problem with a fist like them. But what Limera said was right too.
Just as he wanted to shout to the two people to stop the fight, he noticed the gate opened. Not only Randy, Limera and the two guys who were fighting also noticed. Both stopped fighting as they looked at the gate.
After the gate fully opened, suddenly there was a hologram text appeared on top of the two people who were stopping fighting. On the top of their head written: [Trialer] (Wood 0-Star).
Randy immediately looked at Limera. The same as the two, there was a text on the top Limera's head too.
Limera also currently looked at him too as he found about the sudden appearance of the hologram text.
As both confused what was happening, there was a greeting from the man who was opening the gate.
"The Trialers! Welcome to Ascension World! Welcome to the Crimson Cloud Kingdom!"
Hearing the greeting, Randy and Limera looked back at the gate. From behind the gate, there were three people striding toward them.
