Host, Please Be Honest! What Exactly Are You?

~Vrrrmmmmm!

A section of Dorian's wall cracked open in a triangular shape.

Each part of the wall seemed to come alive as several jumps quickly stood up and jumped to the sides as if they had thoughts of their own.

And following that, a grand light burst through the rectangular crack, causing everyone to place their hands over their eyes subconsciously.

The blinding light lasted for just a second before finally dimming down and showing everyone a glimpse of the grand place beyond.

Blink. Blink.

Butler Sheng stood still in a daze, blinking severally, while Zhulyn trembled with his mouth wide open, almost drooling in amazement.

As for Raulin, he couldn't help taking off his glasses in the most dramatic way possible.

(°□°)

-Silence-

Error...Error... Brain cannot process what it's seeing.

Mayday. Maybe... Brian down.

I repeat. Brain Down!

Like so, the trio had their brains fly away like pigs with wings because right now, their memory chip had been overloaded.

F***! Does science actually exist anymore?

Everyone just felt like they had been duped all their lives!

Dorian looked at the trial and chuckled before snapping his fingers, bringing them back to reality.

~Snap.

"Follow me!"

"Yes, Grandmaster!"

Dorian almost fell when he heard the way they called him

Okay.

Sota started calling him Grandmaster, and now everyone else seemed to be calling him that too.

Hello?

Did he look like an old man with long white beards?

His men had switched from calling him Young Master to Master... only to upgrade it even further to GrandMaster.

With him taking over, his father's title was upgraded from Master to First Elder. And his mother was also an elder, but a Matriarch too.

But now, they were already calling him Grandmaster.

So wouldn't this mess up the order of things?

Dorian could only shake his head wryly.

Sigh... This world was too strange and funny to him.

.

With the trio awake from their thoughts, they hastily followed behind Dorian, passing through the unbelievable doorway that had cracked open like magic.

Even when passing through, they subconsciously touched the walls with trembling fingers to determine if it was all real.

And what did they see?

The walls seemed to be grumbling as they made little hissing sounds and jumped away even further, widening the crack more and more.

They acted like the trio were disturbing their slumber.

And maybe it was their imagination, but they could also see tiny eyes and mouths around the blocks that jumped away too.

The trio immersed themselves in the scene, feeling that these wall chunks that had broken out like puzzle pieces were all too cute.

Heh. Unbeknownst to them, without permission from Dorian, these wall pieces could become real monsters when activated by frauds.

They looked gentle and harmless now.

But sometimes, the deadliest things in the world were the ones that looked the most harmless.

Like so, after stepping past the gateway, the clueless trio walked through a narrow hallway that had these wall puzzles along them too.

And right ahead was a grand golden door with the full image of a fierce lion imprinted on it.

No! They felt like this beast should be greater than a mere lion just from the aura and air they perceived the closer they got.

Then suddenly, the lion's head moved and aimed its focus at them, causing their hearts to skip a beat.

Mr. Lion?...

~Gulp.

Everyone couldn't help taking a step back when facing this giant Lion head.

One should know that the Golden Gate itself was probably what they imagined a Heavenly gate would look like.

Right now, standing by the gate, they were like ants, as the gates towered several feet high and also spread very widely too.

Hell! Only a giant could open these golden doors.

And the Lion's head on the gates way above them was probably 5 times their size, as it looked down, intimidating all who came.

Raulin looked at Butler Sheng and felt aggrieved.

Why was it that he and Zhulyn seemed to be the ones who were always more panicked in these sorts of situations?

He felt like he had to work on his heart more and become tougher.

But little did he know that Butler Sheng's initial reaction was fear.

It was just that his way of showing fear was to stay frozen in place.

That's right.

If he were in a scary movie and everyone broke out running, he would stay in place and be the first to die... unless he awoke from the fear.

.

Bloody Hell!

Butler Sheng's entire toes were curling within his shoes from the beast's gaze alone.

And only after looking at Dorian did he finally calm down.

Hey!

It was normal for humans to fear something like this the first time they see it.

But since the Grandmaster brought them here.

Then, they should be safe.

With that, Butler Sheng adjusted his mentality once more.

As for the Lion, the moment it spotted Dorian, its entire persona changed into that of a happy housecat: "Welcome, Master! Do you wish to enter?"

"Hmmm..."

"As you wish, Master!" Guardian Pandrol replied excitedly.

The lion's name was Pandrol. And he was the Guardian of this space with only one purpose, and that was to serve and obey Dorian's commands.

With that, the giant gates opened, revealing an even grander Hall within.

Everyone entered and once again felt like ants.

The hall had empty shelves from the floor shooting far up for what seemed like an eternity.

Looking up, they honestly didn't know where the lights were coming from because they couldn't see anything far above.

So could it be that they had shrunk in size?

The Trio walled in with Dorian, observing the magnificent sight before them.

The place was more like a library for the Gods!

And as one passed every bookshelf now and then, one would see on the library sections too like Ghosts, Ghouls, Evil Beasts, etc.

Additionally, at various intervals, one could also come across tables, chairs and workstations that were probably meant for them when they wanted to study.

But apart from being a library, they could also tell that the place must have other purposes due to some of the open rooms they saw at the side.

Storage?

Alchemy?

Training Space?

Purified Candles?

For sure! Unlike libraries that had private study rooms, the rooms here were allocated for different purposes.

.

Everyone took in all they saw, following Dorian diligently.

And soon, they reached the very front of the room.

~Bam!

Everyone turned around to find that the doors in the back had suddenly closed on their own.

And in another swift motion, they turned back only to find Dorian smiling at them mysteriously.

Erm... Who could tell them why they had a bad feeling all of a sudden?

"Alright. It's time to begin your training. But don't worry… I'll go easy on you for today."

Everyone listened and suddenly felt their palms turn sweaty.

'Grandmaster, you say that. But your smile and your aura aren't convincing at all!'
