《The Torture System》Inauguration

Zheng He and the elder waits for an hour, but still, no other contestants exit the cave.
"Didn't you say it would take another 20 minutes for the exam to end? If so, then why hasn't even a single person come out yet?"
"The test should've already been over, but it seems that the other students are having quite some trouble beating this year's monsters." The elder said.
Zheng He and the elder looks at the cave surprised as 8 people exit the cave at around the same time.
"So... Is this also unexpected?"
"Of course. Never before there was a time where 8 people exited the cave at the same time. This is going to be very troublesome..." The elder said frustratedly.
"I was the first to exit the cave!" One of the contestants said.
"Are you goddam blind? I obviously was the first one to exit." Another contestant declared.
The contestants proceeded to argue over who was the first to exit the cave for a while.
"Quiet! Look, all of you exited the cave at around the same time so I am unable to decide who exited the cave first. And since that's the case, all of you will hold the 2nd-8th position." The elder said.
"2nd-8th positions? What happened to the first place position?" A contestant asked.
"The first place was already obtained by Zheng He a long time ago..." The elder said.
Wan Ling exits the cave.
"Well done, you are the last person that will be admitted into the Immortal faction. Now that we have our top 10 scorers, I will have my disciples bring you all to the Entrance Hall." The elder said.
"What about the rest of the contestants." One of the contestants asked.

"The rest of the contestants will be received by disciples, that's if they manage to exit the cave alive..." The elder said.
"To think you would get 9th place, well done Zheng He." Wan Ling said.
"What? Are you retarded? Who told you I was in 9th place?"
"What do you mean? No way... Could it be that you're actually in 8th place?" Wan ling said in a doubtful manner.
"8th place, your ass. I got first place nub."
"Stop lying. With your low cultivation and trash ass talent, there's no way you could've got 1st place." Wan Ling said.
"Whatever, it's your choice if you want to believe it or not. By the way, what took you so long? I had to wait over an hour for you and the others to finish up."
"First of all, you should stop pretending. And second of all stop acting as if the test was easy. I nearly got killed by those monsters." Wan Ling said.
"You nearly got killed? You guys really are trash. I thought this test would've been harder but to think that the monsters were that weak... Yet people like you still had trouble fighting off the monsters. I am very disappointed in all of you."
"You guys can talk later, but right now you two need to go to the Entrance Hall. There you will be admitted as an official member of the Immortal faction." A disciple said.
"Ok. But, where do I find the Entrance Hall?'
"Are you fu*king blind? Look to your right, you might see a grand structure that has the name Entrance Hall on it." The disciple said in an annoyed manner.
"Oh... I guess I'll get going then..."
"Me too..." Wan Ling said.

Zheng He and Wan Ling rush to the Entrance Lall.
"What are you two here for?" One of the guards asked.
"One of the disciples said to come here..."
"Oh, you must be one of the new students. Follow me." The guard said.
The guard brings Zheng He and Wan Ling inside.
"What took you two this long?! The inauguration has been delayed a whole 5 minutes because of you two... Go stand near the others in what position you came out of the cave." One of the elders said.
A very powerful being stands up and walks towards the contestants.
"I welcome all of you to the Immortal faction. I Fang Shi am the current head of the Immortal faction. I am here today to present you all with your tokens. Your tokens contain many things including your merit points. You gain merit points by doing quests or by trading with others. Also, you will be using your tokens to enter your new residences. Without you're token you will be unable to enter your residence so, if you are ever to lose your token, immediately report it to one of the elders. That's all I have to say. I will now be handing out your tokens." Fang Shi said.
Fang Shi gives out everyone's tokens and everyone is asked to exit the Entrance Hall and go to their new residences.

The Fire Within Can Be Scary
In a fantasy world similar to ours, magic worked similarly to physics, with each elemental spirit magic being tied to a state of matter. Earth is solid.Water is liquidAir is gas.Fire is plasma. Four elements, four states of matter. However in the ancient world of Hitarea, "Plasma" hadn't been discovered yet. The people of this world believe that only three states of matter existed, and thus, only three elemental magic could exist. For years, Earth, Water, and Air stood alone as the three main elements from which all others originated. Advanced arts like metal from earth, or Ice from water were only extensions of their original element . . . so what does that make Fire? Fire is powerful as the earth with its mighty explosions, flexible like water as it writhes around in the air, and swift like the wind. All at the same time. Fire, in regards to combat, is the most powerful element by far. This fearsome power is Alden's to master, but this power is a double-edged sword. One shouldn't play around with fire if you don't want to be burned. The fire within can be scary, you know?
