Amon opened his eyes and realised he had appeared at somewhere that seemed like a graveyard...

There were things like steles erected in various places and the stench of death and decay filled the surroundings

Because the place was dark amon couldn't see anything, hut despite that his gaze remained afixed on his surroundings as he tried to peer through things.

'did instructor Damien send me to the right place?' amon asked internally while scannibg his surroundings with wide curious eyes.

Taking a deep breath he looked around and then the artifact materialised in his grasp.

Clang... Clang....clang...

The weapon made a light noise that seemed to echoe continuously in thus deserted place.

Suddenly amon heard a voice whisper into his mind.

"did up a grave and bury yourself while writing your request in a piece of paper to retrieve the thing you want the most."

"who's there?" amon instantly became alert as he scanned the environment.

Still he didn't see anyone.

Suddbeky there was a light whoosh and something that seemed like a table with an ink pen, an ink and a piece of paper Atop it appeared.

A second later something akin to a shovel manifested in the table as well.

Amon was slightly surprised as he gazed at it.

'were those words truly the condition to enter into this start gate?'

As amon's words, the papers ahead rippled slightly as though they were confirming his guess.

Still, amon didn't completely want to believe it.

He glanced around and even began walking when he suddenly paused.

He stretched his hand towards the air infront of him only for a barrier to materialise.

He glance around and retreated his steps to his original position before retreating some more.

A few paces later he encountered another barrier.

This confirmed Amon's guess.

'I'm confined to a distance of roughly 2 meters?' akon narrowed his eyes suspiciously as hi surroundings.

He took a few more walks before finally confirming that it was the case.

He frowned and his eyes returned back to the table with the few things Atop it.

There was hesitation in his eyes as he glanced in the direction, but with no other way to go about it, he could only turn begin walking towards there.

Having nothing else to do amon didn't wany to remain stich here.

Besides, he knew that there was a limit to how much time natasha had left.

Keeping all these at the back of his mind amon finally reached the location of the table.

He glanced down at it and saw the clause written on the piece of paper.

It seemed to have been written just a few seconds ago with the ink pen.

In fact, staring at the ink pen amon noticed that it was still a little wet, with slight ink stains, staining the surface of the table.

He didn't think too much about It as he shifted his eyes down to the 'consequences' clause.

It seemed to be the consequence of him exceeding the timer or failing to fulfill the requirements of the graveyard.

'such a unique star gate...' amon muttered while drawing in a sharp breath.

His heard thudded wildly in his chest as he read.

[consequences: eternal slumber...]

There were only two word with ko further explanation but amon understood that it contained so much depth.

At first, the eternal slumber might seem like nothing kuch but upon taking a closer look one should recall the words of the voice from before.

It had told amon that he should dig a grave and burry himself.

In essence if main failed to pass whatever trials were set he would just be digging a grave for himself.

'how preposterous!' amon was immediately furious as he slammed the table causing it to shake slightly but it still endured the force of his strike.

Amon glanced down at the table and then let out a sharp breath.

'no wonder instructor Damien said that this start gate was truly unique... Now the question is... To do or not to do?'

Amon didn't want to endanger hi life but at the same time he had no way out of here.

Since the time he decided to save natasha there seemed to be only one way forward.

'it's truly frustrating. It's as thought I'm being controlled against my will.' akon thought aggrieved.

Now, with only one path left to take amon felt that he might as well...

With a sigh amon picked up the pice of paper.

He reached towards the ink and began scrubbing things down on it.

His face was filled with a neutral expression as he easily wrote down on it.

Within moments the part where amon was required to write in were filled.

After he was done he felt a ripple and then something appeared afterwards.

Amon closed his eyes for a few seconds, reminiscing a little as he felt a gentle tug on his soul.

After that he opened his eyes and began digging...

Previously he wanted creating a comprehension gift as his Tenth gift but it seemed that might have to change.

'thankfully, I have the sufficient creation points to help me out here.' amon was a little bit relieved at that thought.

Withing roughly two hours amon had dug a barely 3 feet grave for himself.

He hesitated for more than ten minutes before lying down and closing himself.

Instantly, silence reigned and the table disappeared, vanishing with the light along with it.

Amon continued staying in the grave for more than 5 minutes when he felt something fall ontop of him.

Surprisingly, it was a sand...

Amon opened his eyes in astonishment and glanced towards his legs where sand had fallen onto.

He was briefly startled.

Glancing up he noticed shadow sihouletted which he couldn't completely make out due to the darkness.

Swoosh... Another heap of sand landed on him.

Amon felt speechless...

'in getting burried alive.'

In all his life amon had never exxected to actually get hurried alive.

Truly just as damien had said, this was a very unique star gate!

It was so unique that it made amon bewildered.

'what were they thinking when they created it???'

Another sand fell onto amon and then another.

Gradually, sand Bagan to fall atop him and soon it had completely covered his body.

Suddenly Amon's heart skipped a beat as he thought of something.

Wjen he was burried, how would he escape?

He hadn't thought of it before because his mind was occupied but now...

Recalling it amon tried to claw jos way out of the sand but it was just too much.

The more he clawed the more he fell back on him.

Just as he wanted using his gifts a sudden drowsiness over took him causing his thoughts to grow muddled and his mind to become hazy.

Amon tried to think straight but the a suffocating feeling surged sound him.

It felt as though the air Inhis throat were beobg drained at lughtnibg speed.

Just as amon felt his eyelids turn heVy and he lost his consciousness, his eyes snapped ópen.

Without hesitation he thrust his fist forward in a fighting gesture, like he was ready to attack at any moment.

Suddenly, feeling the light of the sky drifting onto his amon realised he was no longer in the graveyard.

He glanced around and subconsciously widened his eyes in shock.
