After narrowly escaping the third trial, known as the Endless Palace Entrance, Alex passed through the violet door without hesitation.
The moment he stepped beyond it, the world around him shifted again.
He now stood in a colossal hallway, one so vast it stretched beyond the horizon, far longer than any palace corridor should've been capable of.
The smooth, polished floor reflected the dim violet glow of crystalline lights embedded in the ceiling, giving the entire corridor an eerie, almost sacred feel.
The silence was dense, broken only by the faint echo of Alex's footsteps.
On either side of the endless corridor were massive window-like panels.
Each one was easily ten meters tall and just as wide, yet what lay behind them wasn't the other side of a wall, it was something else entirely.
Each window revealed a completely different world, as if they were gateways into countless dimensions.
One displayed a tranquil garden bathed in sunlight, petals floating gently in the wind.
