LOGINTo get a superpower, I joined the survival game. But a small system glitch changed my mission in the Soul Trial from the universal “Survival” to… “Slay Sitri”. Sitri is the great prince of hell who reigns over sixty legions of demons. And his specialty? He creates love between two souls from thin air. When I first met that devil, he smirks with those fox eyes, taking pride in holding the hearts of all mortals in his hand. Me? I smile, too. Because I was born with alexithymia, meaning I’m a heartless sociopath that doesn’t feel any emotions. Nice to meet you, Mr Devil. I grin at him, licking my canine. How are you going to manipulate my heart, when I don’t have one?

But the Queen wanted Alice alive, so the hero needs to take her place. No matter what happens when they meet the Queen, this is the only way out of the current situation.Somehow, the rabbit’s skeleton face manages to deliver “frustration” without a shred of flesh left, at Meph childishly twisting facts.“You don’t look like her!” The dead rabbit is now showing human emotions, cornered by Meph’s ridiculous logic, pointing one of his skeleton finger at the posters.Human emotions is Meph’s specialty.Born an emotionless monster, Meph has spent his whole life learning what “normal human experience” is. You laugh when you are happy, and cry when you are sad. Such common knowledge that come natural to all kids, is hard for Meph to grasp more than any subjects in the school. He understands what insult is, but he can
Where is Alice?It’s a tricky question. More than usual, considering the system just said “Alice found”, as the answer to the first question of the White Rabbit.Alice is in the room.Not only that, something he just touched was judged by the system as Alice no less.The answer seems straightforward. Find that item and hand it to the rabbit. Easily done.But it seems too simple. Too easy, comparing to the first two questions. If touching everything in the room could at least solve the first question by force, the second question definitely required accurate, fast reading of hints in the room.So why such a simple question, for the third, final, lethal blow?Anyone who have answered the first question correctly could easily hand over some items to the White Rabbit as Alice. Even easier for the players who got their game panels without a glitch, because the system notification would leave zero room to which item that was.It’s odd.Another thing that keeps sounding the alarm for Meph is
Gritting his teeth, Meph finished the job anyway.With the last gear falling into the correct location, the lock flings open with a slight click. At that one tiny sound, everything falls into absolute silence. The shaking of the door. The rabbit’s frantic shouting. The icy wind twirling in the room. Meph would believe the storm that almost took down the door was all but a dream, if it wasn’t for the very real pain that’s still burning his wrist.Never has he been so grateful for having alexithymia, if he could feel what grateful is—Sudden pain. That’s the real test. Not the question. A harmless shadow suddenly starts to burn would panic anyone. Anyone but Meph. He could feel pain, but his brain won’t shut down at it. He won’t lose focus or train of thoughts to fear, pain, or any old trick the trail knows.He WILL complete the trail. He was born for it, he knew.The rabbit is waiting right outside the door. He must be. Just like the first time. And now with the little golden lock drop
The shouting is so penetrating that it makes Meph’s ears buzz.Who sent you? The next trial is on, yet Meph has barely gathered any useful information, or even understood how he passed the first one. The temperature didn’t drop, because “Alice found”? Is this the truth of the high death rate of the Soul Trial? It kills without giving a fair chance?It can’t be. If there is one thing the Soul Trial is known for, it’s fair.The Soul Trial is created by magic. When World War Three destroyed the world, The Archangel Gabriel, along with ten angels at his disposal, sailed Noah's Ark down to the human realm. In the last corner where humanity clung to existence, they established a protective barrier and named it Eden. The Ark itself is the field of the Soul Trial. The Trial operates without human control, without emotion, without error. It is pure magic.It is the most unshakable rule in the world. It’s granted by God.There must be a solution, no matter how clueless a puzzle.Think! Meph, th
