SAMAEL
I open my eyes to an onslaught of bright rays of sunlight beaming down my face. From the harshness of it I am somewhere outdoor with no roof. The sun rays were bright but they felt cool on my skin, like they were meant to help me.
I have been out of it for a while and I couldn't feel anything all those while. Something cool touches my skin from underneath and I bask in it for a while before turning to look at it. I scream and jerk off instantly.
I'm sleeping on a bed of burning flames. How in the world? I run out of the flames, and the moment my feet touch the ground I feel a recoil. My body missed the brace of the flames and wants to go back, but my brain can't bear it. The idea of sleeping on flames just doesn't make sense to me!
I turn to walk out but I am faced by the image of my compplete nakedness reflecting off the mirrors on the door. There is a door? I thought I was outside. I look up to see the open celings were closed now. How is all this happening? It's like the space that was there before just disappeared the moment I stopd up from the flames.
I search the room for clothes and see nothing but a bathrobe hanging on a table wooden platform. I put it on instantly and I shudder at the colour. The bathrobe is baby blue in colour and didn't even reach up to my knee. How short is the owner?
The moment I step out of the door multiple screens appear in front of me. I yelp in shock and turn to run but the further I run it still remained before me. I stop and it stops moving. I turn to the left and it turns with me. I turn to my right and the same happens. It seems the screen are for me.
I think back but I have never read about a power that gives you abilities through screen. Not even tech elves have such abilities. I scan through and choose the screen at the center top. It grows large and the rest disappear. The screen was gold, like the one I saw when I was dying with glowing bloodred script. Am I dead? Is his how the Afterlife really is? That might explain the flames. Maybe I am in hell or something. I focus back on the screen.

I read through the profile and I couldn't believe my eyes. Is his one of those things where you die and are reincarnated in a new world with greater powers? Was my final prayer answered? I am so focused I didn't notice someone arrive before me!
"Welcome to Pre-Supreme" a shrill voive says in front of me and the screen disappears. Before me was someone I have only read about. She was more stunning than the statue of her in the center of the community park back home. She has smooth silky chocolate brown hair that reached her knees, vibrant hazel eyes, very kissable plush lips, and the toga she wore packed all her blessings well only revealing her long slender legs. She was slightly shorter than me putting her around 6'0.
"Hello, i'm"
"You are the goddess Hestia?" I blurt put cutting her off and she nods with a warm smile that could melt the coldst of hearts. "How is any of this possible? The gods have not been seen in ages" I state and she looked at me confused.
"I see the gods have been lost in your realm. I am the goddess Hestia of the Realm Plyra. I will be your guardian throughout your stay here." She says and I nod. She just mentioned another realm.
"Do you mean there are other realms beyond Relnoritz?" I ask and she smiles.
"There are multiple realms beside yours and mine. A plethora of them if I say so myself. You may want to read up on the realms and it's inhabitants" she says and I nod.
"I'm confused! Where am I?" I ask and she smiles again
"You my friend passed the Supreme Academy Test for Relnoritz and therefore advanced to the Pre-Supreme Status" She says and my memory floods back. The moment I was about to die I saw a similar screen to the ones I saw today. It congratulated me on passing the test.
"But I died? The lady who called herself death killed me" I reply Hestia and she chuckles
"Death couldn't kill you, she just ended up destroying the only Trial Space we had on Relnoritz. It will take our Builders and Crafters another century to put another one together." Hestia replies and I was dumbfounded. How did that happen? She stabbed me? I check my chest for scars but couldn't find any.
"I'm sure she stabbed me! Also your profile is wrong except for my maagi pool!" I add and she chuckles and gods it is the most beautiful sound I have ever heard in my entire life.
"The profile isn't wrong! You powers were under a binding, we were only able to break one of it, you will have to find a way to break the rest yourself." She adds and I nod. That's why I never had power? My powers have always been bound, but who did it. If it is my parents, why would they do that? Why would they bind the one thing that makes me who I am.
"Follow me!" Hestia says and walks ahead with me following behind. We walk beautiful hallways with stunning tapestri s of multiple wars. Some I have read about, others I have never heard about. She opens a door and we walk in. "This will be your room for your time here."
"Why am I here?" I ask
"As a Conditional student of Supreme Academy you have to learn to control your abilities, before you are released back into the real world. You are here to get that control." She answers and I nod. She walks out and I follow me.
She takes me to multiple rooms. The dining was large but was empty like every other parts of the house. Except Hestia I have not seen anyone here. The next stop was the living room, then the library. It is the grandiest library I have ever seen in my life. With shelfs nearly reaching the ceiling which I think reached the sky filled with books of all kinds and the shelfs were innumerable. From the little door I walked in throught I'm sure space enlargement magic is at play.
We visited The gardens, the ranch and then we ended our tour at the training room. It was a large empty room with no painting,no drawings, no equipment.
"How do I use this place?" I ask Hestia and she smiles.
"That's for you to figure out all on your own." She replies and I roll my eyes. Based on our outtle tour I have realized Hestia likes to hide simple details leaving me to think of a way out.
After the tour we go to the dinning and she tells me to order anything I want. Anything?
I try the hardest thing I know
"Smoked Brisket, and Pasta" I request. It will take her about 20 hours to get that. She swipes her left hands and the food appears on my table. My eyes widens in shock and she smiles. She leaves me to my food and I dig in. I must say this brisket is so juicy, perfect texture, and amazing sauce, even the pasta was heavenly. I never imagined food can taste this good. Once I finish I walk out of the dining and she is standing there.
"Where are you headed?" She asks and I give her a questioning look, which she replied with a smile. "I just want to direct you there" she adds and I nod still not believing her.
"My room" I reply and she points to the left. I turn to leave but face her again
"When do we start this training?" I ask
"Tomorrow morning. Your schedule is on your tabs" she adds and I know she is referring to the screen I see before me. I make a mental not to understsnd how that stuff works before training starts.
"How long am I going to be here?" I ask and she shrugs
"That is up to you. How fast do you want to leave here?" She asks and that single question remains in my head as I leave for my room. I want to leave here as soon as possible and I will sure as hell fight to leave here if i have to.
