《The Torture System》First Place

"If the test really is fair then the difficulty of the test should be based on the person's cultivation. And if that really is the case then I should be able to easily pass the test."
System,"The host is recommended to not get too cocky. Though I am unable to rate the difficulty of this test at the moment, one thing is for sure, the host will have some trouble trying to complete the test."
"Whatever. There's no way I can fail such an easy test. It's just not possible."
2 monstrous wolves appear in front of Zheng He.
"What the fu*k?! Why are they both at Soul Refining Stage 3? There's no way they expect me to beat these monsters right?... This is just plain bullsh*t."
System,"The host needs not worry so much. Though these wolves are in the Soul Refining Realm they are unable to cultivate their soul and as a result, they are only comparable to a Body Refining Stage 9 pinnacle."
"I see... Does that mean they're bodies are that weak as well?"
System,"Nope. Their bodies are comparable to Soul Refining Stage 3."
"I'm fu*ked... There's no way I can beat them... Wait, what if I use them to increase my Undying Body's level..."
Zheng He looks at the wolves in a taunting manner.
"Is this a joke? They want me to beat up some weak as wolves to gain entrance to the Immortal Faction? Such a waste of time... You two, get the fu*k out of my way, or I'mma fu*k you both up just like I did to your mom last night."
System,"What the host has done was not necessary..."
"What do you mean? I can't have them dilly-dallying can I? I need them to put their all into helping me raise my Undying Body's level."

As Zheng He stands still, the wolves attempt to kill Zheng He.
"The hell? They've been biting me for quite some time now yet Undying Body still hasn't gained a single level yet..."
System,"The wolves are weaker than anticipated and so they are currently of no use to the host. "
"Wow... I wasted this much time on them only to find out they're this useless... If I end up failing to get into the top 10, I'mma retake the test and fu*king torture these wolves..."
While Zheng He rushes to find the exit the cave he meets a few other creatures.
"You motherfu*kers better not try to interrupt me, or I swear on the name of the heavens that I won't stop until I murdered every single being of your race!"
While Zheng He yells at the creatures, his body releases a very deadly aura that scares off all the creatures nearby.
"(thinks to himself)To think they were this obedient... Finally, I found the exit."
Zheng He exits the cave.
"Well done young man, you are the first person to exit the cave." An elder said.
"Wow, the test was surprisingly easy. Also, I think you should know something. After I told the monster to back off, they obeyed without any hesitation... You guys need to train those animals better."
"What? Those animals were recently captured from the wild and brought in here for the test. They should've tried to kill you upon sight..." The elder said in a confused manner.
"Oh really?... Who knows, those animals might've just went crazy..."
"I doubt it. There's no way all the creatures you met suddenly went crazy... They must've been scared of you for some reason..." The elder said.
"Scared of me? But I am so handsome and kind. There's no way anything would be scared off by me."

"Truly weird... How about we drop this matter and you go rest up." The elder said.
"Alright. So do you guys have a room already prepared for me, or I do have to stand and wait till everyone finishes the test?..."
"Don't worry, after the test is over you will be brought to your new residence which will have everything you want." The elder said.
"So I do have to wait..."
"Well, yes... Don't worry, you won't have to wait too long. The test should be over in 20 minutes." The elder said.
"Alright..."
Zheng He and the elder waits for the rest of the contestants to finish the test.

Barbarians
The Triumvirate has known peace for 10,000 years. Their technology dwarfs that of Man, and for almost a century now Humanity has done everything they have asked of us, in order to learn even a fraction of their secrets. With their help, we have abolished poverty, and hunger. War is now a thing of the past. We have made incredible strides in a very short time period...and yet the Triumvirate races keep us at arm's length. They see us as half-evolved apes, too violent even now to keep company with our betters. They call us...Barbarians. But sometimes, a Barbarian is exactly what you need. (This incredible piece of artwork was a commission by Harry Rowland (@rowl_art_)...and I couldn't be more amazed at the job he's done. If you're looking for something like this, give him a yell.)
