"Congratulations, Null Anthony. You may proceed forward," the voice stated as the dark light cloaking him vanished.
At those words, the other participants who were going through their own puzzles received a notification that someone by the name of Null Anthony had passed the riddle challenge. Hence, they would be sent to different domains until Null Anthony was done claiming his reward.
The notification that someone had already passed left them speechless and stunned. There was no time limit to answer any of the five riddles, so they had taken their time thinking so as not to get any riddle wrong, because if they failed one, they would be instantly disqualified.
As the dark light enveloping Anthony vanished, he felt as though he could finally move once more. But he didn't move immediately. The last riddle about memories had him feeling a bit out of place, after all, all, all he possessed of his past life were his memories.
