Dominant of Odin in Tower of God

"""Aaaaaarhhhhh!"""

Suddenly, a miserable combined shout could be heard, coming from where the test took place.

"?!"

"Hm?"

Everyone in the area quietened down as they looked toward the door in front.

"What... What was that sound?" Khun asked.

'So they're dead, huh.' Robert bluntly thought.

At the same time, the Guide Yellowy smiled and pointed with her hand toward the door, announcing, "Next team, please."

Finally, the Regulars started reacting.

"Wha... What? What was that scream?!"

"Are they... dead?"

"W-what is this test?"

"Is this test... perhaps... super dangerous?"

Meanwhile Robert glanced at the door and quietly have thought. 'It looks like we still need to wait until there is no team left.' Robert look at Ho who is still reading a boom and Laure sleep. 'My team is really relax about this test, Good!' He really like people who are not panic easily and have quiet composure in life and death situation.

Hours passed, Ho woke Laure up, as it was their turn. They walked into a dark room with a large clock near the entrance and twelve red doors surrounding the room.

In the center of the room was a red folding screen and a man with long blonde hair tied in a bun, drinking coffee right before it.

Elegantly, he introduced himself, "Nice to meet you, Regulars. My name is Hansung Yu, and I'm the Administrator of your next test. I'm usually just a Test Director on Evankhell's Floor, but this time I'm in charge of this test."

"The test is simple. Do you see all these doors around me? Within ten minutes, find the real door and open it. If you open the real door, it will take you outside, and you will pass. But if you fail to open a door in ten minutes or opened the wrong door, you will die!"

"Shall we start the test?" he asked.

"Wait, you mean we will die if we fail?" Ho asked nervously, shocked by the test.

"Not today!" Robert replied looking at all the doors. The entire is dark with all the doors are red color. "Hey, Ho, let's open one of the doors."

Ho is surprise by his words. "What do you mean open one of these doors?, If we open thw wrong door we will be dead." Ho's entire face is red and anxious of near death experience.

'It looks like he isn't as calm as I thought.' Ronert thought as he look at Hansung. "All these doors are the correct answers."

"W-What!" Ho wide eyed and stunned hearing his words. "W-What do you mean all these doors are correct?"

"All the hints have already given to us the moment all those screams are heard from this room, he said to open one of these doors within ten minutes but the real test is we need to open one of these doors in FIVE MINUTES!" Robert look at hansung who still has poker face and drinking his instant coffee.

"What!" Ho look at the administrator in shocked. "S-So what he said the test we need to open one of these doors within ten minutes is a LIE?!" Ho look at hansung in disbelief, he just give them a false test and send them to their death.

He turned to Ho and asked, "Ho, it was said that we have to find the correct door, was it?"

Ho looked at Robert for a moment, being pulled out from his thoughts, and wrinkled his eyebrows. "Yes, why?"

"No, what I mean, Was it to find the 'correct' door or the 'real' door?" Robert rephrased his question.

"Uh, I think it was the 'real door'..." Ho softly answered with a thoughtful expression.

"That is right... so, aren't all these doors are real?" He look at ho waiting for him to realize the real purpose of this test.

Ho stared at Robert for a moment and then his eyes suddenly flashed with realization.

This was another clue hidden within Han Sung's words!

It was obvious that the ten minutes time limit was some kind of trap, but in regards to the doors aren't all of these doors 'real' as well?

"So... We really just have to open any of the doors before the real time limit is up?... Because they are all real doors?" Ho concluded, wearing an expression of wonder.

Robert slowly nodded. "That is correct. All we need to do is to open any of these doors and we will pass this test." He look at Laure who is still sleeping. 'I know you notice it too, Laure.' Robert knows Laure knew the answer of this test but he still silent and keep sleeping.

Meanwhile Yu Han Sung's eyes secretly glinted, as he looked at Robert. 'Amazing. He noticed all the clues!'

So far, most teams simply open a random door soon after entry upon hearing that there are no clues. They thought that since there are no clues, it doesn't matter which door they open. They might have also been influenced by the tips from his subordinates.

They passed, but they didn't solve this test at all. Even the Regular Shibisu and Khun Aguero, who had performed the best so far, did not pick up on that one clue!

Robert was the first to solve this test, simply Amazing!

At that time, Ho and Robert both looked at the Test Administrator, but Yu Han Sung maintained his poker face without a slightest change in expression and didn't give them any hints.

Following that, although Ho and Robert already felt that they had the answer, they still kept looking for any other clues just in case there was something that they had missed and the other one would notice.

Once the Pocket reached 3 minutes and the digital clock was close to completing a full revolution, Robert decided to not delay things any longer.

After approaching one of the doors, he said. "I'm going to open a random door."

"Wait, Mr. Robert!" Ho stop because he was not sure If they can still alive or not.

"Ho, trust me, we will survive!" He loom at Ho in the eyes telling him to trust him, Ho didn't say anything and trust Robert's judgement.

Watching this, Ho was silent and slightly anxious. Laure still asleep as he didn't care of his sorrounding and the test.

Robert looked at them, then looked back at the door. Hearing no complaints, he placed his hand at the handle and then gently opened it.

Behind him, Ho looked at that door with differing expressions.Slowly, the door opened and what greeted them was the brightness of the outside world.

"A light?" Ho muttered.

As the three turned with anxious and hopeful expressions, they saw the administrator start clapping his hands. "Congratulations! You've passed."

At this, all two let out breaths of relief.

"Turns out I was right!" Robert said

"We really did pass!" Ho sigh in relief.

"Amazing. You passed the test. You really did get all the clues from the beggining and to the pieces together." Hang Sun asked with a placid smile.

Robert shrugged as he know the test from the manhwa. In truth, he didn't like this test as it cost many lives to die, if he was in charge of this floor, he would fire whichever idiot administered this kind of test. In the manhwa nearly everyone passed just by stumbling about randomly and it ended up testing nothing while more than half of the Regulars died pointless deaths.

"So can we leave now?" He asked, not wanting to stay near him anymore.

"Yes, the test is over and you have a good team, so let's say goodbye for now," he said, bowing and sending them off.

Robert and Ho get ouf of the room, he dragged the sleeping Laure to leave the room. When everyone left, Hansung Yu walked back to his table and continued his coffee.

"Woah, you were amazing, Sir Robert! I didn't notice that hint about the real doors at all." Ho said while innocently smiling at Isaac.

"I just got lucky." Robert said. "Besides Laure also knew about the real objective of this test."

"What! Is that true mr. Laure!" Ho looked back, shocked laure knew the objective of this test but he didn't tell them and just keep sleeping.

"Whatever!" Laure didn't wajt to talk and keep sleeping, although Robert's words are true as he does know the purpose of this test.

As the three left the testing room, Ho looked relieved and happy while Robert was relieved and satisfied. After crossing the door, they found themselves in a giant resting room with all the other regulars passed the test.

Ranker yellowy said they will take break another anker will them next test, Robert's team found a free spot and the three of them didn't talk much but as they silently sat together, he could see as the atmosphere slowly become comfortable.

Times passed as the break slowly reaching the end, the door opens revealing Lero ro enteres the room with Yellowy.

"Did all of you have enough rest regulars?, I am happy to meet you all again." Lero ro spoke up with excited expression.

"Oh! Mr. Lero Ro!" Bam smiled when he saw the Ranker he had a good impression of.

Lero Ro smiled as he raised his finger. "I came here... with very good news."

"Good news?" one of the Regulars asked.

"Yeah! I talked with the Test Director before I came here and he told us to give you a bonus game!"

At that, Shibisu raised his hand as he politely said, "I'm sorry, but I don't think it's in our best interest to take more tests than necessary."

"I'm sorry to hear that, but the bonus game has nothing to do with the tests. It is up to each team to choose whether to play the bonus game or not. There is no penalty if you decide not to." Lero ro explained. "But the winner of this bonus game gets to pass the final test of this floor. They get the right to go to straight to the next floor." He added.

After Leoro-ro made this announcement, even the sleeping Laure woke up. All the Regulars fired up at this announcement and they made commotion at this.

"The right to go to the next floor? Then what about the remaining tests?" Khun eagerly questioned.

"They don't have to take them." replied Lero ro.

The crowd of regulars became intrigued when they heard Lero ro's words, If they pass this bonus game they will go to thr next floor and didn't need to take second floor test.

"It is a big chance..."

"This would be a huge advantage!"

"We need to win this crown game."

"This game is called 'The Crown Game.' I'll explain the details when we get to the game spot. Now, those who want to participate go to the left. Those who don't want to, go to the right." All the remaining regulars began to discuss in their team if they wanted to participate or not.

Fourteen teams chose to participate in the Crown Game, while the rest did not, either because of injury or for their own reasons.

After the Fourteen teams gathered on the left, they are teleported. After teleported, the other Regulars are being locked up in what seemed to be a spacious orange cell.

Looking around behind the bars at the gate of the cell at the front, they could see various other cells in the distance that also held Regulars.

All rooms were connected to a large circular arena, with a giant throne standing in the middle of it, a golden crown situated on one of the armrests of that throne, the distance from the room to the center of the arena and the throne seemed to be around 200 meters.

"Now that you have all been transported to this location, I will explain the Crown Game." Said Lero ro from the hall outside, gathering the attention of all the teams within their cages.

"The Crown Game is, in short, a game to steal the Crown. The team that holds the crown at the end of the game wins." Lero ro explained while holding a crown and standing near a throne at the center of the large room.

"This game consists of five rounds, and each round is ten minutes long. Only five teams can participate in each round, and the team with the crown at the end of the round proceeds to the next round. In the next round, four new teams and the previous winning team will compete for the Crown. The true winner will be the one that holds the crown at the end of the fifth round."

"So that you know, if you want to participate in the game, press the red buzzer at the entrance of each of your rooms. Only 5 teams may participate, and it will be done on a first-come-first-serve basis. If several teams press the buzzer simultaneously, the team that pressed the button to participate the most will get the chance.But there is a way to finish the game early." Lero ro's words piqued the interest of the regulars.

"That is to sit on the throne while you're wearing the crown in 5 minutes or less. The moment someone sits on the throne, the round automatically ends. And the sitting team becomes the winner of the round."

"However, some movement will be restricted. If there was a winning team at the end of the previous round, that team may keep the crown, but at least one team member must stay seated on the throne, wearing the crown."

"If the crown wearer comes off the throne or loses the crown, that team will be eliminated from the test. And if another team takes the crown and sits on the throne within 5 minutes, that team wins the round."

'And with that, it will be disadvantage to participate early.' Robert thought.

"But, if you postpone participating because of the risk... you may not be able to get into the game at the end!"

"Well, although there are a lot of rules and limitations, the point is that the team with the crown at the end of the final round is the winner. Don't think too much. You just have to steal the crown."

"Let's wait for now, what about you, Ho?" Robert look at Ho, he didn't ask Laure because he knew he would also stay for the first round.

"I also say we should stay for now." Ho agree with Robert.

"Now, Let the crown game Begin!" Lero ro announce the start of the crown game.
