After enduring the crushing force of the test of strength and surviving the barrage of the test of durability, Alex found himself met with yet another challenge.
This place wasn't like the other domains he had experienced before.
It didn't simply test physical attributes or brute power, it tested everything.
His instincts. His intelligence. His resolve.
Even his ability to choose.
Every facet of his existence was being weighed and judged here.
The [Palace of Destiny] was alive in a sense, and Alex could feel it.
The domain moved on its own, adjusted to his presence, reacted to his thoughts.
It was fully in control.
The deeper he went, the clearer it became that this palace was created by an all-powerful entity that allowed it to control itself.
A sentient, all-powerful space that would bend only for those it deemed worthy.
And Alex wasn't sure if it saw him that way yet.
