Isaac's and Luna's bodies started glowing. Both of their bodies disappeared from the Mountain of Illusions.
Isaac had his eyes shut, but once the bright light dimmed down, he could finally open his eyes.
He saw himself standing in the middle of some kind of garden with a small table in the center. It resembled a lot of the place where he met the cold lady.
There were three seats around the table, but one of the seats was already occupied.
He saw dark-haired beauty sitting in the seat innocently while drinking a warm cup of coffee. Her every move was elegant and almost too perfect. It was a sight that would mesmerize anyone.
Isaac looked at the top of her hair but didn't see a nametag...
The dark-haired beauty turned her beautiful black eyes towards Isaac and smiled, ''Welcome Wraith and lovely Night.''
Isaac looked at the sleeping figure of Luna while nametag floated above her head.
[Night]
[Level: 19]
''You are, Hecate, right?'' Isaac asked.
The dark-haired beauty nodded, ''That's right, and you are currently on my domain.''
Isaac put Luna gently on the ground. She instantly smiled after feeling the soft grass touching her back.
Isaac saw his hands, and he thought he would see most of his flesh having frostbite, but instead, he saw his perfect smooth hands.
There was a small pond in the garden. Isaac slowly walked there and looked at him in the reflection. His face had returned to normal, without any signs of suffering he had faced.
''How...'' He looked at Hecate with a questioning look.
Hecate smiled and replied, ''Mountain of Illusions was a test of will. The pain you felt was an illusion, and your skin peeling off was also an illusion.''
''B-But, it felt so...'' Before he could finish his words.
Hecate said, ''Real?''
Isaac nodded.
''Power of Illusions cannot be underestimated.'' Hecate pointed at the chair and said, ''Please sit.''
Isaac sat down on the chair, which was only 1 meter away from Hecate.
''Tricksters have a power of illusions. I suggest being careful with them. They are definitely tricky ones.''
Isaac nodded. This is the first time he actually felt wary of tricksters. The pain he felt was so real that not many could handle that kind of pain.
In the future, most of the player base will definitely be afraid of Tricksters.
Hecate sipped the coffee while Isaac had multiple questions.
''Why are we here?'' He decided to ask the simple question first.
Hecate put the cup gently on the table and replied, ''Exit is here.'' She pointed at the beautiful white door only 10 meters away from her.
Isaac widened his eyes, ''Well... That was easy.'' He stood up and was about to go to Luna.
But then, Hecate waved her hand, ''You passed the test. I can't let you go empty-handed.''
Isaac sat back down and looked at her with a questioning look.
''Hmm...'' She tapped her soft cheek a few times before asking, ''You didn't choose your first skill yet, right?''
Isaac nodded.
''I will give you a fourth choice,'' Hecate said and snapped her fingers.
*Snap*

[New Skill Choice Added!]
[You can choose your first skill!]
[Skills: Deadshot - Steady Hands - Wall Breaker - Illusionary Shot]
[Deadshot: There is a 2% chance of this skill activating, and during that time, you cannot miss!]
[Steady Hands: When your stamina is getting low and you are getting tired, Steady Hands will activate, and your lack of stamina won't bother your aiming because your hands are so Steady that you can still aim perfectly!]
[Wall Breaker: Your bullets can pierce walls!]
[Illusionary Shot: You can shoot an illusionary bullet!]
''Eh, Illusionary Shot?'' Isaac looked towards Hecate with a questioning look.
Hecate calmly replied, ''If you use this skill, you can use this to trick your enemies. Like, if you use the Illusionary Shot, the sound and even the bullet will look completely similar to the real one, but you can't harm your opponent with it.''
''I see...'' Isaac thought that it could be used in many ways like it is common knowledge that most of the Marksmen only have two bullets before reloading.
He can trick his opponent into thinking that he has no more bullets left, and when his opponent gets careless...
Easy kill.
Isaac pressed the Illusionary Shot and decided that it would be his first skill.
*Ding* *Ding*
[First Skill has been chosen!]

''Thank you.'' Isaac gave a respectful bow and stood up.
Hecate smiled and waved her hand, ''It's fine, I wish I could give you more, but there are limits to how much I can help you.''
Isaac walked next to Luna and was about to start carrying her, but then he heard Hecate's voice.
''You can leave first. I have some business with this lovely lady,'' Hecate said with a gentle smile.
Isaac looked at her and nodded, ''Alright...'' He took another glance at Luna and patted her head gently, ''See you later.''
He stood up and walked towards the door. The white door looked completely ordinary, but once Isaac touched the doorknob, he suddenly disappeared from the garden.
Hecate looked towards Luna and said, ''How long are you planning to pretend to sleep? Naughty girl.''
Luna's eyes slowly opened, with her cheeks being rosy-colored.
Hecate giggled, ''Luna, long time no see.''
''Hey, nice lady.'' Luna stood up with embarrassment on her face.
Hecate patted the seat next to her, ''Come here, and call me Hecate.''
Luna shyly walked to the seat and sat down.
Hecate then perked up her ears. She sighed with a wry smile, ''I guess we have guests.''
Suddenly, a portal appeared in the garden, and a single figure exited it.
The figure was a beautiful woman with white robes and a cold-looking face. Her ample breasts pushed the robes forwards while her baggy robes hid every part of her beautiful body.
Her looks made Luna gasp.
'She is so beautiful...' She thought with slight envy, especially after seeing her soft-looking skin.
Hecate looked at the woman and smiled, ''Khione, what a pleasure seeing you.''
Khione looked at her, ''Why was he here...''
''Who?'' Hecate innocently tilted her head.
''He...'' Khione said with a cold tone. She doesn't want to say his name aloud.
''Oh, him..'' Hecate innocently giggled, ''You are so childish, Khione-chan.''
