“Ah yes Kinetic, come on in,” the Hero proctor said. He smiled at me. “You’re right on time I see.”

It was two days after my fight with Hitler’s Youth. Overlord had instructed me to report to this room in the Guild complex for my fifth test.

I had gotten plenty of sleep and rest since I had faced Trey. I no longer felt as ragged as a cheap, overused toy. Even the wounds where the two worms had shot through me were healing nicely.

So physically, I felt pretty good. Mentally was a different story. My wariness meter was now permanently set on High, and it bordered on Freaking The Frak Out. So far, the Trials had made me feel like an abused spouse. Yeah, this Hero was smiling at me now, but what fiendish things would he do to me later?

I cautiously entered the room the Hero invited me into. If a Rogue named Boogeyman leapt from behind the door and tried to stab me in my uninjured buttock, I wouldn’t have been the slightest bit surprised given my track record at the Trials so far. I didn’t know what to expect with this test, but I was dead certain it wasn’t going to be good.

Years ago, when Dad was still alive and I was in high school, I had volunteered at a dog shelter for a few months. There had been a female Rottweiler named Kiara there who had been severely abused by her prior owner. I made a point to visit her each time I went to the shelter, especially because some of the other volunteers were too afraid to deal with a big, scary-looking dog like Kiara. Despite the fact she had come to know me, every time I went to pet her she recoiled from my touch as if I was going to hit her.

That was why, despite the fact this Hero was smiling at me, I half-expected him to pull a cast iron skillet from behind his back and whack me over the head with it.

Maybe I needed to change my name from Kinetic to Kiara.

The Hero asked me to have a seat in the chair in the center of the small room. The padded black and white chair reminded me of a dentist’s patient chair—the part that supported the lower part of your body was almost parallel to the floor, whereas the part supporting your upper body was at a forty-five degree angle from the floor. In fact, the entire office reminded me of a dentist’s office in that it was cold and sterile. If a cute dental hygienist smelling of spearmint and antiseptic came in and started scraping away at my teeth until my gums bled, I wouldn’t have been surprised. If she then tried to knock my teeth out with a baseball bat, that wouldn’t have surprised me either.

Instead of a cute hygienist to take my mind off of whatever new craziness was about to happen to me, all I got was Lotus. That’s what the Hero told me his name was as I settled down in the thickly padded chair.
