Chapter 4: Chapter 4: Entering the Abyss



Early the next morning, Alex got up early and prepared breakfast for himself. Being an orphan in this life, even the house he lived in wasn't his own. If Alex failed to awaken successfully, he feared this house would be taken back.

After breakfast, Alex headed to school. Upon reaching the playground, he noticed many students were already forming teams.

"The team lacks a healing profession, level 4 and 1, led by a C-level talented warrior."

"Four warriors and one healer; looking for two more warriors."

The shouts made Alex feel like he was in an online game from his previous life. A hundred years ago, when the Holy Tower appeared, all those who awakened to become professionals had their attributes digitized. It was very much like an online game from a previous life. The abyss was equivalent to a dungeon in the game, waiting to be conquered by players. No one knows why this happens; it seems to be natural.

After being stunned for a while, Alex's best friend, Tom, came over and patted him on the shoulder.

"Alex, have you formed a team? Why don't you join my team?"

The chubby boy Tom was a shield warrior, more durable than ordinary warriors. Coupled with his B-level talent of toughness, which could reduce damage by 15%, Tom had become a hot favorite. Many teams wanted Tom to join them. Having a durable front row greatly ensures the safety of teammates.

Tom's team happened to be short of a DPS player, and seeing Alex in a daze not far away, Tom came over and extended an invitation. Tom had good intentions, worried that Alex might not find a team, so he wanted to include him. But his decision made the other three teammates unhappy.

One of the teammates, Mike, said displeasedly, "Tom, why are you inviting him? Are you afraid we won't die quickly enough with such a sluggish person?"

Mike was a healer, and although his words were harsh, the other two professionals in the team didn't object.

"That's right, Tom, any damage output is better than him. You know his talent; he reduces damage by 90% and can't hit the monsters in the abyss at all. We'd have to focus on protecting him."

The other team member, who knew the relationship between Tom and Alex, spoke to Alex tactfully, "Alex, I know you and Tom are good friends. If you really regard Tom as a good friend, you shouldn't drag him down today. Tom has awakened a B-level talent. He will have better prospects in the future. When Tom grows up, he can protect more people. You can't be so selfish and ask Tom to take you."

After his teammates finished speaking, Tom was furious before Alex could reply.

"Yesterday, when Alex became a mage, you didn't say such things. Now you criticize his talent. Try awakening a mage yourself! I'll put it this way: if you want to be on my team, Alex comes with me."

Initially, the teammates hoped Tom would recognize reality and give up the idea of inviting Alex. But Tom's stubbornness led them to kick him out of the team.

"If you want to bring a burden, go ahead. We won't support you."

After Mike kicked Tom out of the team, he left with those words. He thought he would have an easy time finding another warrior on the playground.

After Mike and the others left, Tom looked at Alex apologetically. "Sorry, I didn't expect them to say that."

"It doesn't matter. What they said is true. Anyone would react that way upon seeing my talent. I had no intention of forming a team for today's abyss trial."

Alex patted Tom's arm, reassuring him not to take it seriously.

"It's you who should find strong teammates. Although those three didn't sound pleasant, they're not bad."

Alex knew Tom's previous teammates all had at least C-level talent. As captain, Mike even wore two pieces of healer equipment. It was clear that Mike's family was wealthy; otherwise, he wouldn't spend a lot on novice equipment.

Hearing Alex's words, Tom curled his lips. "With how cowardly they are, I think they can barely pass the abyss trial." Although he said this, Tom obviously agreed with Alex.

While the two were chatting, the time reached half-past eight, and Principal Mark came to the playground.

"Students, the Abyss Trial is about to begin. Those who have not formed a team should hurry up. This year's Abyss Trial is a Goblin Forest. It is very friendly to novices. Please remember..."

For the next ten minutes, Principal Mark talked about the precautions in the Goblin Forest. Alex, in the corner, felt relieved to hear this year's abyss was the Goblin Forest.

"Fortunately, it's the Goblin Forest. It would have been terrible if it were the Wailing Cave or the Blood Cemetery," Alex murmured with slight happiness.

The reason was obvious. The monsters in the Goblin Forest were mostly goblins, primarily melee combat, and relatively easy to deal with. But the Wailing Cave and the Blood Cemetery were different. The former had a small terrain, easy to be surrounded, while the latter was filled with undead monsters and difficult ghosts. The Blood Cemetery was often called the cemetery for newcomers. Fortunately, this year's Trial Abyss wasn't the Blood Cemetery.

After explaining the precautions, Principal Mark stopped talking and opened the portal to the abyss.

"Remember, you must ensure your safety after entering the abyss. If your life is in danger, use an escape scroll."

Many students took these words to heart. If a professional fails the abyss trial, their profession is taken away, and they become an ordinary person. Losing a career is painful and has consequences like reduced physical fitness and vulnerability to illness. But surviving is still possible. In previous years' trial dungeons, many rookies were killed by monsters before they could use escape scrolls.

After the portal opened, many teams eagerly walked towards it and entered the trial abyss. When Tom's former teammates passed by, they looked at Tom with provocative eyes, snorted disdainfully, and walked into the portal.

"What's their problem? Damn!" Tom muttered at their backs.

This scene caught the attention of Ben, who had always been displeased with Tom. So, Ben walked up to them and said arrogantly, "Tom, our team still needs a human shield. I'm only inviting you because we're classmates. There's a mage in our team—not the trash beside you, but a real mage."

"You know John, right? He not only awakened with C-level talents but also learned three C-level skills. He'll definitely make it through the Abyss Trial. Don't miss this opportunity."
