"Ugh, my head," I said as I rubbed my head. Leveling up is really painful. I feel like I have a hangover. I wonder if every time I level up is going to hurt me this much. Well, I can't know before trying it.
"Looking at the same still white world. Really boring," I murmured.
But now I realize I feel stronger than yesterday. Touching my stomach, I can feel new muscles. Putting those attribute points to strength really pays off. However, I can't just touch my belly all day.
By wrapping the piece of clothing left from the goblin around my waist, I take out my rusted sword from inventory. Now I am ready for a new trial!
[DO PLAYER WANT TO GO TO THE NEXT TRIAL?]
"Yes"
Pressing the yes button this time, I observe my surroundings. Even though this is my second time experiencing this, it still amazes me. I mean, what kind of technology is this? Or should I say magic? However, it seems, it is gaining a forest looking like before.
"I should focus on the new trial," I said to myself, pulling myself together.
At the end of transformation, this time, three light forms are shaped. Ah yes, goblins again. How many times am I going to kill them?
As soon as they gained their shape, I made the first move and started running towards them. As the saying goes, "Strike first, strike hard." With my full speed, I appeared in front of them. Giving my power to my arms, I blow my strike on the goblins' head before they gain their consciousness. While my sword crushes his head, blood splashes in the air.
"One gone, two left"
Looking back I see the other two gained their consciousness. The one on the left has a spear and the other one has a sword in his hand. As I prepare myself, they come to me. First the spear wielder reaches me. After dodging his attacks, I hold his spear from its body and pull it to myself. Because of my overwhelming power, he can do nothing but let it go. With a kick, I sent him back. While I fight with a goblin, the other one attacks me, taking advantage of my carelessness. I can't dodge it with my sword in time. It cuts my left arm. I take a few steps back. Luckily, it is not too deep, but still hurts.
To take my revenge. I run to him, close enough I jump and swing my sword. From the strength difference, he can't hold his sword against me and drops it. As soon as he dropped the sword, I cut his throat, and went to kill the other one. As I took the other one's weapon earlier, he couldn't resist my attacks even for one minute.
[TRIAL 2 HAS BEEN COMPLETED]

"It was really worth the effort," I coughed while holding my left arm.
Afterwards, the surrounding area turned into its previous white world state. My body got covered by a sudden light. It felt warm, not like burning, but rather like being in your mother's womb. After the light disappeared, the wound on my left arm was gone and all my tiredness was gone with it too.
"So after trials, my wound will be healed. Good to know."

Hmm, too bad I can't afford any of them, all of them need at least 5 skill points. I'll have to save up some points if I want to buy. And the only way to do that is completing trials to get stronger.
"I can't even die here, nothing to lose. But if I am here for these trials, I will eventually pass them. I am literally immortal. So what is the meaning of completing trials? To test someone's skills? No, if it was the matter, rather someone who is much better at fighting than me would be summoned here. Then what is the point of it? I don't know, and it seems so if I don't keep moving forward, I won't know. All I can do now is complete these quests."

"Yes," Leon says with a determined look.
