The flames consumed my figure.
Heat wrapped around my body, warm and crackling and then, nothing.
I stumbled forward, but there was no ground beneath my feet.
Just an endless void stretching into eternity. The air seemed thick, heavy, as though I had stepped into a world that had long since burned away.
My breath came in short intervals as I tried to steady myself.
Then, a sharp ding rang in my ears.
A glowing, blue screen appeared in front of me, lighting up the previously dark surroundings.

Suryi's Trial
Objective: ???
Reward: ???
I froze.
What… was this?
A system? That was impossible.
Only madmen and scholars had whispered about such things, calling them the will of the gods.
But here it was—floating in front of me, real and undeniable.
My fingers twitched as I hesitated to reach out.
Another chime sounded.
