Aegon hit the buzzer and was instantly transported to the challenge room.
As he approached the pedestal in the center, he found himself facing an unexpected challenge—a tablet screen displaying a strange magical path puzzle.
"Uh... do I have to play this game?" Aegon muttered to himself, feeling uneasy.
He had never been particularly good at games, and the pressure was already beginning to mount.
"Good luck, Aegon! We know you can do it," Clarice cheered through the voice chat, trying to boost his morale.
Aegon took a deep breath and began examining the screen.
His task was to guide a small magical orb through a network of interconnected paths and reach the glowing exit at the other end.
However, there was a catch.
Several of the paths were blocked by magical barriers, while others would activate traps if the orb passed through them. The only way to determine the correct route was by studying the symbols placed along each path.
Aegon frowned.
"Seriously?"
