《The Face of a God [completed]》2.10

:::y/n:::
After the last test we moved right away to our next test. Yellowy, our guide, had barely explained to us what our test even was. I noticed Urek was looking around, very weary.
"Urek, you okay? You look like you're so nervous."
Urek turns around and scratches his head.
"It's just, this place is huge and massive. It's also very bright like our second test."
What's so interesting about that? Has he never been in a place like this. Plus this room wasn't even that big. But I guess I don't know where he came from.
"AHHHHH!" Suddenly we hear screaming coming from inside the test room.
Everyone starts whispering worried.
"What...Was that!" Ara worriedly said. "Is this test perhaps, super dangerous?"
"I think it might be."
Damn. Who would've thought! The guide still won't even say anything!
We walk forward and the guide tells us to wait until it is our turn.
This test..It's dangerous. I should be aware. Wait, no! It's fine. I'm Jahad's daughter. I can't be scared of some stupid test!
"Come on Y/N. Let's go take the test."
"Right. Let's go."
The door opens and reveals a very strange room. I feel like if it weren't for the doors I would have thought that this room was infinite. Inside the room were 12 red doors, perfectly lined up. A man sat in the middle of the room with his stuff.
"Welcome. Nice to meet you regulars. My name is Hansung Yu, your test administrator." He puts down his cup of coffee. "This test is simple. Do you see all these doors behind me? Within ten minutes, find the real door and open it."
"The real door? Amongst all of these doors?"
"Yes. Isn't it really simple?" He sips his cup and continues. "Here are twelve doors in total. Among them, find the 'Real Door' that will take you outside."

"Easier said than done...Gee"
He ignores me. "If you find the real door and open it, you will pass this test. However if you don't find the door in ten minutes and give up, you'll fail. And if you open the wrong door within ten minutes, you die."
We all shout. "What? Die? No. Ridiculous!"
Hansung smiles and says nothing.
Clearly frustrated, Ara screams. "Then, what is the secret to finding the real door? Those can't be the only hints! Show it to us! Now!"
He smiles and calmly says, "There aren't anymore hints."
"What? Then how are we ever going to find the real door? Just say something!"
"Welp, the test starts now!"
Ara stomps her feet, angry. "No. This is unacceptable! There needs to be more hints! Say something!"
I look around trying to find hints. I look over at Urek and he has already gone over to a door. He puts his hand on the handle.
I shout and both Ara and Hansung turns around. "No! Urek don't open it!"
But it was too late. Urek had opened the door.

Local Minima
[Entry for the June Royal Road Community Magazine Contest] A prisoner named Gemmei is gifted a chance to put her life on a better track after being transferred to the Hibiya Correctional Complex, a lower security prison allegedly intended for less violent offenders. However even though the walls keeping her in are no longer visible, plenty of barriers are in the way that prevent Gemmei from returning to the world she once took for granted. Chief among them is the Houzou Hakkyou, a special tattoo every prisoner in the system receives that alters how they can think and feel through forced sedation. The curse the Hakkyou enforces ensures compliance and docility among the inmates, but as Gemmei finds out, cruelty is born from more than emotion alone.

The Priest of Genes
Meet Seth, acolyte in the Church of Virtue. He’ll be a Priest like his father soon, he just knows it. Sure he didn’t inherit his mother’s preaching power, but he doesn’t mind being the secondary priest at whatever temple he is assigned to. Just as long as he has a library. Meet this genetics textbook. Hmm, that doesn’t belong here. It must have come from somewhere far away, I guess something happened to its owner. I’m sure a studious young man who likes healing could go far with this information, whether he wants to or not. This is my first time really writing anything, so I hope you like it! Please let me know if I make any mistakes; I have a new R&D tech job at a genomics company, so I probably don’t edit as much as some people. I’m shooting for two thousand-ish word chapters released on Sundays, since none of the webnovels I read ever seem to update that day. Underserved Market! Genre is fantasy, possibly progression fantasy. Maybe a tiny bit litRPG if you wait a while and squint really hard, but that’s the most I’m prepared to claim. Hedged my bets on the content warnings, nothing that bad. Cover art from A. W. Gelman

Prime Magus of Earth
"In the beginning, I had no idea what was going on. My brother and friends were gone, my sight was gone, and yet I still saw things, things about this world that no one else knew. I'm not special, or gifted, anyone could have done what I did. I just got lucky, especially after everything that happened afterwards. Magic already existed, it always had. Humans just didn't know how to do it, didn't know how to nuture that small spark in them. Now you do." - Prime Magus of Earth, Alexander Sorin. November 2021 Update: So, it has been four years since I stopped working on this. Reading back, the first "book" is finished. It has what feels like an ending to an arc. Now it isn't a perfect story but I still like it and I can see myself starting the second book, might even this on Amazon or something. My biggest regret was never coming up with artwork for the cover though. Maybe I'll look into it.
