Then, as expected, a flood of notifications wiped across my vision.

Suddenly, the suppressed sniper in my hand shone a bright golden light as I gripped it tightly within the center of my hands.
It began to slowly form a golden liquid that ran through it like blood, and once it had disappeared, everything was back to normal.
It looked as if it hadn't changed, but judging from the feeling it just gave off, I knew sothing was up with this thing.

"Ah, I was wondering when this was going to co," I muttered with a joyous smile as the technique had now been turned into a skill that I wouldn't be able to forget.
It might even beco more natural, and I won't have to concentrate so much in order to just bring out a few minutes of its potential.
A brown, leathery book dropped into my hand as I felt the coarse material rub against my fingers; I prepared myself for the worst.
"But, I won't have ti to use this cause of the stupid trial," I muttered with my smile, turning weary as blood-red panels screaming danger began to fill my vision.

Then, everything went black, and my senses were consud by the abyss, causing to feel a bit dizzy and eventually fall to my knees.
My ears were ringing, and my head felt like it had a jackhamr being drilled right into it, causing to wince in pain as I grit my teeth.
"Goddammit," I muttered before passing out.
…
I awoke on a bed of stone with the musty stench of a cell completely surrounding .
My head continued to ring, but I forced myself to stand up in order to scan my surroundings, and to be honest, it was a bit disappointing.
It was a decently large cell, maybe as big as the one in the magic tower, and it had all the necessities that I needed to survive.
A small well for water and a hatch that opened up to a bed of stuffed rolls that tasted pretty fucking good.
You would've thought my food would be terrible as a prisoner, but what they gave tasted so good that I had already consud three of them.
I an, I hadn't been eating much for the last couple of days, so I was significantly more hungry than usual.
Even my shrunk stomach could hold more than food than before, so I ate myself silly and then laid back down on the stone bed.
"I guess this is where I wait, huh," I muttered to myself and began to think of strategies that could be used against the gods.
What manipulation tactics could I use against the gods? Well… none of them seed to work when I imagined myself outsmarting them.
I'm sure there are not so bright ones, but the smart ones like Athena will definitely catch onto , and if she finds out I had been trying to manipulate them, my punishnt would only be harder.
"Alright… Let's just calm down for this one. Don't make any rash moves that will put your life in danger… *sigh*... How silly. I wasn't even aware that I activated the system," I muttered to myself once again and then just closed my eyes until the ti for my trial had co.
…
Clink… Clink… Clink…
After opening my eyes, I noticed my ankles and wrists had been chained together with a pitch-black stone that seed to absorb all my power.
My knees felt weak when a few angelic guards helped stand up and walk down a long, open path made up of beautiful greenery, white pillars, and marble floors.
Everything outside that damp and musty cell was the equivalent of heaven.
"How much are you guys getting paid?" I asked jokingly, and as expected, they didn't reply but just gave a few looks of pity.
My dark purple eyes shone with determination, and my long purple hair fluttered as a breeze brushed by as soon as we stopped before a pair of giant white doors.
It looked like a gate to heaven, but as soon as it had opened, a massive, gigantic, white bowl-shaped room stood before .
It was so massive you'd think it could hold an entire lake if it wanted to.
"Step forward," A deep and rumbling voice called out to , and the guards let enter on my own, with one of them even whispering,
"Good luck,"
Very silently in order for the large twelve silhouettes, sitting on their own thrones at the top of the bowl, to not hear him as I stepped forward.
My first step was easy, but my second step was hard.
The pressure of standing before a god was just as hard as I thought… well, maybe it felt a bit too easy.
They were clearly holding back their pressure as if they unleashed all of it, my body would just be wiped out of existence.
So these are the Twelve Olympians… I'm assuming that's Zeus, the man with the largest throne and the large crown on top of his head… then Hera, Poseidon, Deter, Athena, Apollo, Artemis, Hephaestus, Aphrodite, Hers, and I think Hestia, and finally… Ares.
I gave the man with a large spear in his right hand and a large shield in his left hand a smirk while he sat on a throne of weapons.
It wasn't that hard to the difference between the silhouettes as each one was unique from the others, and nobody really matched.
"The Trial for the Systematical Criminal: Orion has started!" Zeus announced, and I gulped a large drop of saliva.
