"Is there really nothing here that can help me… holy shit… I think my bones are going to shatter." 

All of a sudden, the thick green fog split in front of us, revealing a towering palace of black stone and dark green accents. It arrogantly stretched to the heavens with each towering peak that ascended into the sky wrapped by a single naga. 

Their long, green, and scaly bodies that were as large and as powerful as mountains somehow didn't crush the roof. Their large and intriguingly calm jaws slightly revealed two massive fangs amongst what looked to be multiple rows of dense and sharp teeth. 

Dripping with poison that immediately evaporated into a thick green fog, I could tell where such a substance had come from. The way it filled my lungs to the max capacity before attempting to claw its way out of my windpipe, the way it practically hindered all of my bodily systems despite me being systematically immune to all kinds of poison, the way it sent shivers down my spine just by being in the presence of such a fog… it all screamed danger to me. 

"We'll ask the emperor for some assistance in order to get you adapted to this place because clearly, you're extremely out of touch with this world." 

"Is this some other world or a world I'm already familiar with…? Like the one I come from." 

"Oh, it's definitely a separate one, I can assure you that," Satan nervously gulped down a drop of saliva, causing me to become even more wary than before. I mean, if he was nervous to be in the presence of such a being, then what use do I have in being here? Won't I just die at first contact? 

Above in the harsh night sky illuminated by a smiling full moon, as if wanting to intimidate the bodaciously placed peaks. And as its warm tan glow showered over the palace of poison, we took a step forward, looking up at the long staircase leading to what seemed to be the main entrance. 

But, just as I was about to place my foot on the first step, Satan grabbed me by the back of my cloak and pulled me away. He then looked at me with nervous intent, his eyes practically quaking in their sockets as he hesitated to inform me of something. 

"This is your first test… and uhhhhh… get ready. Prepare yourself mentally and physically," He groaned before taking a few steps away from me, taking me out of his range of protection and allowing me to witness this world for myself. 

Everything zoomed out, growing ten times larger than before, but thankfully there was no strange pressure tearing me down. It was just the intimidating sight of these few nagas now swirling off of their peaks and extending their heads towards me, each and every single crimson eye digging into my flesh. Still, there was no pressure, but the intimidation factor might as well have served as one. 

"If you manage to climb to the top of these stairs, you will pass the test. Do not mind the nagas, as they are only here to push away the weak and funnel the ambitious and courageous inwards… mostly. But, I will say this now, you will struggle, and you will fail. It took me exactly seven tries over the course of one hundred thousand years to climb to the top… so do as you will, but remember not to give up otherwise, those nagas will devour you. Now, as long as you fail but keep the urge to continue on, then you will not get attacked by them." 

"What encouraging words you're enlightening me with," I smiled with a drop of sweat nearly sliding down into my eye. "So, I just take a step up… is there anything else I need to be wary of? I mean, isn't the emperor gonna come out and greet me or something?" 

"He would never do such a thing. And there are exactly one hundred steps, but every tenth step, you will encounter a challenge. It won't be the same as mine, so I can't give you much advice besides… don't die from shock. That's all you need to be aware of. Just don't die out of shock, got it?" 

I nodded lightly before lifting up my foot and placing it on the first step. Instantly, I felt a pressure press down on me, although it was nowhere near as harsh as the mana-filled demons I encountered in that city. But as I took my next step, I soon came to regret even managing to think those silly words.
