CHALLENGE TWO STAGE ONE HAS BEGUN. TRANSFERRING I PRESENT CANDIDATES TO THEIR PATHS IN 3...2...1*
Flashes of light were given off as people started disappearing. Starting from the Inspectors, down to the candidates.
They were transferred to a vastly different place from where they had been before.
The different assort of colours was what would first be noticed by anyone who was present.
The setting sun provided a beautiful shade of red to the skies above.
The yellow grain fields swayed as the breeze of dusk blew by.
Walls were erected in hundreds, leaving a reasonable amount of space between each wall. This formed paths that lead further, disappearing into the horizon.
The hundred of paths were further divided into different sections labeled one to ten. The sections all had fifteen paths in them, seperated by a very large amount of space from the next section. The last one had a lesser number of paths, a total of nine in number.
The grains on each path cleared as trees arose from the ground bearing different fruits stained with beauty.
After this had happened, the walls further hardened strengthening the defense.
A bright light shone as the first candidate appeared. Section one path one.
Immediately after that, another appeared in a separate path. Section one path two.
The two who had appeared were unaware of each other's presence owing the the thick walls between them which was further encoated with mana to block out any life sensing skills.
Likewise the others who appeared after. All thought they were alone as they stared at the linear path in front of them curious as to how they should begin the challenge.
In the Large spaces between each section, ten persons appeared: one for each section. Justin was a part of these ten people. He randomly wondered how teleportation worked....it would be a cool skill to add to his library.
Looking at the abnormally thick erected walls (?) surrounding him he wondered what was going on. Was this the challenge?
*JUSTIN CRAIG* A montonius voice suddenly spoke.
Justin turned and saw the words hanging in the air, just a bit above his head level.
*YOU EARNED A ESTIMATED TOTAL OF ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY POINTS. CHOOSE FROM THE DISPLAYED ITEMS YOUR PREFIXED WEAPONS TO WEIRD DURING THIS CHALLENGE* As the voice spoke, ten objects appeared in mid air with their names and descriptions beneath them.

"Mini gun...." Only the first words were enough to basically confirm it all that this was lord dyrotth's doing. As someone who served in the military, he definitely knew his way around firearms and the mini gun was one of the most dangerous.
No one used anything remotely remote to guns in this world so the fact that a mini gun appeared in this dimension only confirmed his suspicion that lord dyrotth was from earth...like him!
The description beneath the objects looked like those in game and he couldn't really make up his mind on which to choose from.
Although he didn't have much time to play games with work and family matter in his previous life, he still made small time for them some he was pretty knowledgeable when it came to that area.
Usually those that cost more were better. But there could also be some hidden gems among the others. What also mattered was his skill in wielding them, their effects and so much more.
He couldn't just pick up the mini gun and start blasting away. Knowing about the gun didn't mean he could wield it. So that was a no go area.
The others were not quite bad...especially the dual wielded hammer. Now that's definitely something that suits his style. The effects were good too.
But another took his heart away...the giant gloves. The effects it had was define try made just for him. he had the right skill arsenal to cash in on its effects.
Yes, it's the stealth freak skill. Combining the stealth freak skill with this weapon would be devastating. The fact that opponents wouldn't be able to see him when the stealth freak was activated would give him a massive chance to land consecutive hits without being hit himself thus trigerring the effects of the gloves. Those gloves would work just perfectly with his skills!
But then there's the Detest drops. The unhinged skill sounded freakishly awesome. He would have the power to manipulate the dimension to his will...that's huge. He'd be OP if he could manipulate this dimension against his opponents. They wouldn't even have a chance or attacking him. But there's a catch...it would only last for a minute and was one time use only so....
Then the Zuko's eye and wolf's bane. The brother's betrayal effect would simply be killer. Just imagine your limb ginger against your while you're fighting for your life. It could be the leg, or the arm, or the neck whatever! The skill would definitely be one to have...only catch was he'd have to to by it with the wolf's bane which didn't sound all that awesome.
Another worth mentioning was the Viktor's triumph giving a 150% speed boost through the challenge two. His current speed was already freakish, augmenting that by 150% would be monstrous. He'd be able to skill someone before they even could even say "kill". If that isn't great, what is?!
Without thinking further, he quickly grabbed the black iron boots mixed with shades of purple and put them on.
Expecting to feel heavy from the weight of the boots,he was surprised to feel something on a totally different level. He felt himself as light as a breeze...like he could pass by and no one would even notice!
