The first test was called The Labyrinth.
Which sounded way cooler than it actually was.
This wasn't some epic maze with high walls and a minotaur just begging to get ganked.
Nope.
It was just a big, empty, circular room made of that same depressing emo-kid black stone.
The air was so cold you could see your breath.
In the middle, a single, huge crystal was pulsing with this weak, sickly blue light that made everyone look like a zombie.
Great.
An instructor stood in front of us.
He had a face so boring I literally forgot what he looked like the second he shut his mouth.
"The mind is a weapon," he droned.
His voice was as exciting as a level one dagger.
"Here, we will sharpen it… or we will break it."
Real original, dude.
Then he explained the rules of the game.
The crystal would shoot a magical illusion straight into our brains.
It was a maze, filled with traps and mobs based on data the Corps had on Vex and his buddies.
The goal was simple.
Survive.
Find the exit.
