"Woah, it's really tall!"
The red haired man seed to have the ntality of a 15 year old boy as he stared at the sky piercing tower with amazent… err, it wasn't right to call it a tower, it looked more like so sort of an obelisk.
This 'tower' was actually located at the royal garden, which was quite approximate to the royal palace. As the Trial Tower of the Lightning Empire, it was only used by the royal family itself or the Lightning Knight Brigade.
It could only be opened twice every 5 years, the major opening and the minor opening every fifth year were the only ti that the tower would actually have visitors.
The major opening allowed the entrance of 5 persons, they would either be people from the royal family or people recomnded by soone from the royal palace. The minor opening, which allowed the entrance of 3 instead, was reserved for the new candidates of the Brigade as the strongest power under the command of the Emperor himself!
Even then a total of 16 individuals having access every 10 years was considered quite well off as most towers only allowed 6~10 entrances per decade…
"... So, without further ado please proceed and enter the tower according to your ranking order!"
The brigade head who just finished telling us this information finally announced our entrance into the tower, of course, I was only ranked 3rd as I didn't actually participate in the recruitnt itself, so I was the last person to approach the small door-like opening which I could only see darkness beyond it.
Woosh!
As soon as I put my feet inside, I got struck by a familiar sensation that I usually felt when I destroyed corruption cores as I vanished on the spot.

[ Welco to the tower of 'Inheritance'! ]
[ The inheritance trial will start in 10 minutes… ]
'Oh…'
To my surprise, I was greeted by a voice different than the system's voice as a similar screen also appeared before my eyes, it seed like this tower had sothing similar to an AI operating it, I wanted to ask Long who should be resting inside the ring, but I realized that not only my ring had disappeared, but my mask and leather armor have vanished as I was standing in the middle of nowhere with only basic clothes on.
The area around looked like a black void that expanded everywhere, I couldn't pick up anything even by using 'Omni-viewing Eye'...
At this point, my suspicion of the so called 'tower' in the royal garden was confird, this wasn't a true building, it was most likely a spatial transfer tool that is connected to this place, otherwise, it was probably a consciousness separating tool that operated on the ntal level…
[ The inheritance trial starts now. ]

[ Begin! ]
Suddenly, a body started to materialize before , which only took a split second to take shape.
The so called enemy looked at as I was slightly shocked as I wondered if I was looking at a mirror instead… this enemy totally looked like my doppelganger?!
