Gacha Sovereign

The process repeated. As soon as he opened the gate, he was sucked and teleported to another place.

This time, it was the same plain white world. Instead of a wooden trail, he could see a dirt trail on the ground. He did not waste any time and immediately followed the trail.

He just walked patiently and waited until the next opponent to appear.

Bryan, the former king of Zircodina Kingdom, suddenly appeared before his eyes. He suddenly charged at him the moment Alex was in sight.

Alex took out his weapons and clashed with him. Since he had studied John's movement and such, he took down Bryan in an instant.

Without stopping, he immediately absorbed all the energy in the air and headed to the next stage.

He continued to the third place that had the same trail, but there were grasses around the dirt trail. It felt like the white world started evolving.

After beating the third boss, who was one of the assassins that poisoned Alicia, Alex went to fourth place. This time, the sky was added inside the white world, but it was always sunny.

It seemed he was right. Every time he teleported to the next place, a certain scenery would be added into this place. He thought this must be the trial. Beat the boss and went to the next place. And he would finish this trial when he had filled all the details in this world.

He tried to finish the trial as soon as possible. This was an easy task for him since even if the enemy was a Martial King, he did not have any problem. It would end in an instant.

However, Alex found something ridiculous.

At the end of his trial, the world had been filled with many things such as dirt, grasses, trees, even wind breeze suddenly disappeared. The world became plain white again, without having any single detail.

"What is this? Did I just restart my progress?" Alex grumbled. For a moment, he thought he had finished the trial and was ready to go back. But all of it vanished and the world was restarted.

"Am I stuck in this world forever?" Alex frowned.

Although he was filled with anger, he still did not forget that he needed to calm down. It only took him a few seconds to calm his heart.

After cooling down that hot head, he suddenly noticed something different from before. He did not know why, but he smelled heat. He tried to search for the trail and found a sand trail on the ground.

"This… Is this actually a different place?" Alex asked himself. "Is the Trial not over yet? This is the only possibility, if not, I would already go back."

He had many questions inside his head, but it was a matter of fact that his trial had yet to finish. He took a deep breath before walking this path again.

Not long after that, he suddenly found the boss again… he might need to classify them as bosses as he could see there were two people blocking him. He had not seen their faces, so Alex thought it must be a different person. But they were wearing Zhou Kingdom's armors, so he speculated that he had met them.

In fact, after considering all the people he had met earlier, he could say that those people were killed by him in the past. Because of this, he thought the enemies would always be the people he killed in the past.

He shuddered the moment he thought of that. He had killed many people, a few ten thousand at that. He was wondering if he needed to defeat all of them in this trial. It would take forever if that were the case.

Alex shook his head and proceeded forward after killing the two illusions. The details were added one by one as he completed each stage. If the previous place was plain, then this place was a desert.

The sand, cacti, dead bushes, bones, and the other details started filling this second world.

He also needed to fight two people every time at this stage. He even needed to restore his energy after a few fights.

After he finished the second world, he arrived at the new place without any details. He immediately checked his surroundings. This time he found another trail. The trail was a muddy ground with water flooding on top of it. It was hard to walk, let alone fighting.

Alex kept thinking about how to fight the bosses when he arrived at the end. Unexpectedly, the bosses multiplied again from two to four.

If not because he was lucky that the enemy had the same condition as him, he would be at a disadvantage. Although he needed to fight harder, the reward was also bountiful. He almost reached 3-Star Martial King in this place alone.

The fourth world was a jungle. Alex was sure about it after he looked at the grassy trail filled with dead leaves, branches, and vines.

He concluded that the world would continue to change after finishing the previous world… no, he might need to call it biome. He had met four biomes this entire time, Plain, Desert, Swamp, and Jungle.

He was wondering how many biomes he would need to finish before he finished the trial. This might be the reason why it was called Will and Perseverance. According to his speculations, he would need around three more, unless this trial suddenly made an alien biome or space biome…

However, he indeed found another problem. It was the bosses. In this fourth biome, he needed to fight 8 Martial Kings. Although they were only 1-Star, it was still hard to fight them simultaneously and with this kind of environment. He could not fly in this place or used his Sky Step, so his movement was pretty restricted.

However, a blessing came after the misfortune. The energy that was released to the air was also doubled. This let him advance to 3-Star Martial King.

The next biome was a snowy place. The cold did not bother him, so he was fine. In fact, he thought it was better than the previous one. In this biome, he could melt the snow in his surroundings with his fire, making a free space to move.

Even when the enemy multiplied again to sixteen, he was able to kill them pretty easily. The energy here was also bountiful, so he was a bit thankful to this biome.

Finally, the sixth biome, the hardest biome he had experienced. He was forced to walk underwater and could not use his Spiritual Energy to help him. He could breathe underwater though.

Even so, he lost most of his mobility at this place until he met the bosses. The enemies were also having difficulty in moving their bodies. After several attempts, he started killing them one by one.

Unfortunately, he also took damages in this place. His body was full of shallow wounds and superficial injuries. He took all the time he needed to recover as he knew the next place would be harder.

Surprisingly, the seventh place had the same trail as the first biome. He was perplexed as he thought it should not be the same.

After completing a few times, it turned out that he was in a village. He was perplexed at first considering a village was not a biome, but that was answered in the eighth place.

He was transported to the modern world. He could see skyscrapers and so on. When he fought with the enemies, many buildings were shattered and the earth became chaotic. Luckily, there were no people around. If not, the situation would become chaotic and his fight would be viewed by many on Television.

Because he needed to fight 128 people each time, he used strategy to deal with them. Surprisingly, even with all of that, he could not escape from injuries. In fact, the enemy managed to heavily injure him once and halted the progress. Only after he healed the injury, Alex decided to move forward.

After these eight places, Alex sighed. He even thought whether he would be able to handle the ninth place where he would fight 256 people. Even so, it could not drop his determination. He was able to advance from 2-Star Martial King to 5-Star Martial King in this trial. He did not know how long the time had passed, but he felt it was not that long. At the very least, he felt his training would take more time than this.

He took a deep breath and steeled his resolve once again. But the next thing that happened immediately stopped him.

Before he opened the gate, words suddenly appeared one by one in front of the door.

"Congratulations, Young Hero, for passing the hardest trial. This is the test of will and perseverance.

"You might travel in a grassy plain, feeling all the cool and soothing breeze. You might grow in a desert, fighting the scorching sun on the day. Or a humid place such as Swamp and Jungle. Or even a very cold place in a snowy area. You have even experienced living under the sea, in a peaceful village, or your hometown, Modern Area.

"This test tells you that there are many environments one can grow up in, it can always be your starting point. This will take your will and perseverance to choose whether you want to be normal and die according to your fate, or take up your weapon and become stronger.

"If you don't have a will to survive or the perseverance to stay alive and become the hunter instead of the prey, you won't be able to reach this place.

"You might even die on your way here, whether it is because of the environment or your enemies, especially in the last world. You have proved yourself you can withstand all of that with your strong will and clever mind. As long as you are not giving up, there is always a chance for you. You even manage to increase your power in this trial.

"As a reward for this trial, you may come to the next and the last world. There is a reward waiting for you there."

Alex froze upon reading this. It was true that he was frustrated to try and try again, especially when it became harder and harder. His patience was almost run out and his system did not want to help him in this trial. There was also Sherry and Anya that made him impatient.

He closed his eyes first and took a deep breath. He wanted to roar to the sky as he finally completed this trial, but before he could do that.

The door slowly opened and sucked Alex.
