The Holder of Skepticism

In any city, in any country, go to any mental institution or halfway house you can get yourself into. When you reach the front desk, ask to be taken to someone who calls himself "The Holder of the Skeptic." The worker will stare at you with a puzzled look on her face. After about a minute, she will turn her head to her left and appear to shout something. However, you will only hear complete silence. A man dressed in all white will come up from behind you and grab you by the arm.

The man will lead you down a long hallway and stop at the 8th door on his left. He will then unlock and open the metal door, revealing a dark and almost infinitely large room. Up until now, everything that has occurred

has been done in complete silence. The man will then push you in and slam the door shut. The door will produce a very loud crashing sound and you will be immersed in complete darkness. If you flinch from the sound, you will lose your train of thought and never make it out of the room. Remain completely calm. Feel the walls around you. After a while, you will notice that

you are inside a maze. In order to get out of the maze, you must listen for instructions from a voice coming from inside your head. If the sound of the voice brings you feelings of mistrust or fear, it will start uttering false instructions and you will remain inside the maze for eternity.

After what seems like hours, you will find a hole half the size of a man in the maze wall with a faint orange light shining through it. Crawl into the hole and you will enter a small dimly lit room. A man, bald with a long gray beard, yet with young facial features, sits cross-legged in front of you, with eyes closed. If you do not ask the question "Are you the wise one?" within the next few seconds, he will open his blank white eyes and have a look

of intense anger and hatred and what happens next will be terribly dreadful. If you have asked the question successfully, he will tell you a very long and detailed story about his past. You will not be able to remember anything about the story and you will feel tired. Afterwards, he will ask, "Is the object you seek valuable to you?". You must respond by shaking your head. He will point to a shiny gold rock on the ground. Take it.

The rock is Object of 538. Remain apathetic, beware of the card.
