Abyss
#6
The atmosphere was very crowded in Center Point Hall, seen students were busy completing quests to increase levels and get some Gold.
"You Failed, 50 Exp will be deducted"
"You Failed, 20 Exp will be deducted"
"You Failed, 40 Exp will be deducted"
"You Failed, 10 Exp will be deducted"
"You Failed, Levels will be reduced"
Although it has been given convenient facilities, but still doing the Quest is not a simple thing, although some are always successful, but people who fail until their level is reduced are not few.
Obstacles experienced by various kinds, some can not answer because they have so high difficulty, must race with limited time and only have one opportunity, which means, that is, they have a limited time, when you open a Quest, there is only one option, otherwise the same Quest will not be accessible.
Because of this system, it is difficult for students to cheat, no one can predict what will come out, because everything is randomized in such a way. And several cameras have been installed all over the Center Point Hall to spot fraud.
One of the rules written in the Encyclopedia Abyss, "Students who cheat or are given, as well as those who prepare materials apply fraudulently or are among those who help each other in that regard, is, then they'll be expelled."
The Abyss implements such a system in order to give birth to generations that have above average intelligence.

The sky has turned orange, a sign that the sun is setting. Seen alone Nine walked among the crowd of other students, walking in the absence of a destination, walking just enjoy the beauty of the green garden Altera in the twilight.

After the notification is sent, the GPS signal where Nine will be picked up is notified, a place far from the crowd.
Instantly Nine thought of seeing the list of names – previous names who chose this Quest. This may be the reason why none of them succeed. The 145 students failed to complete this Quest, could it be that they had all died?
It's become interesting.

Abyss applied the title concept to his education system, an honorary degree awarded to those who deserved it and successfully proved its worth. Explained in the Abyss Encyclopedia, each title has its own grade and privileges, for example the Emperor Grade Title has the privilege of mastering certain areas and has extensive system access.
The grade of the title is divided into 2 parts, common and hidden. All information about the general title is written in the Abyss Encyclopedia. The general title is divided into 4 Grade, namely Average, High Average, Superior and Highest Gifted. As for the hidden title, there was not a single hint about it, and the Eryl Title was one of them.

2 Hours had passed, and Nine had been at a predetermined spot. Not long after, a messenger had shown himself carrying a very luxurious black car.
"My name is Axton, someone who was sent to pick you up" he said.
Axton, a 25-year-old young man, looks elegant appearance using black clothes with a cape patterned abyssal creature (dragon) like the emperor's bodyguard.
"4L has been waiting for your arrival" he said with a very polite temperament.
Axton then began to open one of the car doors he was wearing, while Nine just fell silent while getting into the car, there was no fear or doubt in him.
On the way, Axton asked, "Are you really a first-year student?"
"You shouldn't ask something you already know."
"It's not like that, it's just the first time 4L invited first-year students to his residence" Axton explained.
"Abyss, can you explain the power structure between a Lord and a 4L in this land? " said Nine diverted the conversation with a question.
Axton was silent for a long time and thought, until finally a word said "In short, 4L is the ruler of this world, while God is an extension of the 4L that governs Abyss.”
Answer from Axton provides a gap to know about the truth of the world, “The conspiracy theory about the group that controls the world from behind the scenes is indeed true huh?” nine asked.
“Not 22 countries, but 4L is the one that has the biggest role in the formation of the Abyss. Am I wrong?” Continue Nine to ensure
Axton smiled, “It looks like 4L is not wrong to show itself to you.”
“No, precisely it will be a mistake that breeds regret.”

Abyss is like a fantasy land with a very advanced civilization, either in terms of building architecture, education or in terms of technology. On the highest plateau named Aldeya, the tip of the country, there is a very magnificent building, like a white palace in a fairy tale, the residence of the Lord and the Emperors.
After a journey of almost 1 hour, they finally arrived right in front of the entrance gate of Aldeya, with the mechanism system applied, the gate to Aldeya opened automatically.
The garden courtyard is filled with glittering lights, along the way to the main building, Aldeya shows the beauty that spoils the eye.
Not long after, Axton and Nine finally reached the front of the main gate towards the white palace. The architecture is really beautiful with the best marble as a pillar of support. Not only that, the castle - the castle around the main building is no less magnificent. Aldeya, the most beautiful place in the entire Abyss plain.
"I'll take you to meet 4L" Axton said and began walking ahead.
A million beautiful words would not be able to describe the beauty of the interior of the interior that he had, filled with white and the floor reflected a shadow like glass. But there was something strange, along the way, the palace looked lonely, no one knew the reason, whether because it had been night or because of something else.
After arriving in front of the giant gate, Axton said, "Behind this door, 4L is waiting for you. I can only drive you here."
The door then opened automatically, and after Nine entered, the door then closed automatically. Inside, there was no one but antiques, something that looked so ancient and foreign.
A writing that only certain people could understand, and Nine knew the meaning of the writing, "Agenda of the Extermination of Mankind."
"Have you arrived?" arrived – arrived a greeting voice from behind.
Nine was simply speechless, facing back leisurely without any sense of worry. A mysterious appearance with a mask and a black robe outfit wrapped around his body. In front of the mysterious creature Nine looks small, Nine has a height of 170 cm, while the mysterious creature has a height of 220 cm.
"Have you been waiting a long time" he said.
"No" Nine replied.
"Are you interested in reading the manuscript?"
"The destruction of mankind, that's not what's written on him."
"Very few can read it, are you interested in annihilating the human race, Nine?" the mysterious creature asked.
"This manuscript is here, I should have asked. Are you the Sovereigns planning to destroy the world?"
"Of course if we've got what we want."
After saying so, the mysterious creature laughed out loud – bahak, “How, are you interested in joining us, if you want, of course you will be saved from destruction,” said the mysterious creature gave a quote.
“No, our destination is different.”
“Then it is a pity,” said the mysterious creature ended.
Before starting a new topic, the mysterious creature allowed Nine to sit down, so the distance between the two of them was only blocked with a round table made of blue glass.
"Your existence is just a theory, so why would a 4L show itself? " Nine asked.
"Do you believe me if I say, I'm interested in your answer?" the answer.
“No, such an answer will not interest you,” Nine replied, as soon as the mysterious creature laughed.
"You can't hide anything from our eyes, come with us, for sure we will grant all your requests including giving you a long life. How, isn't this fair?” Back 4L give an offer.
"Is it just because of this that I was invited?"
“True, and you must have known it, someone you know has joined us. So why don't you come?”
“I'm not interested in a long life, even I hope that death comes this time as well.”
4L thought a little, “And I didn't expect that, but if that's what you want, what if we continue in accordance with the Quest you received, playing with risking life as the bet.”
“I also want to get rid of this boredom. Nine, maybe you can cheer me up,”.
“So, what games will we play?” nine said without the slightest fear.
“Chess.”
“Alright,” Nine accept.
After Nine is ready, arrived – arrived a notification appeared on his Abyss System.
