"That challenge was quite lengthy. Now, let me check out what this enchantment stone is all about."

[Enchantment Stone: Gives an item a random modifier, can only be done once per item.]

"Oh, a random modifier? That sounds incredible! I must try it immediately! And what better object to apply it to than my trusty headband, which is likely to remain in my possession for some time."

[Would you like to add a random modifier to your 'Profane Vision Headband'?]

"Yes."

"Amazing! This equipment has become so essential that I cannot imagine being without it. I doubt I will ever find a suitable replacement for it."

"Now, Let's head towards the next challenge room. Huh? What's this?"

Sig was faced with four doors instead of the usual three that he had encountered before. As usual, three of the doors were labeled A, B, and C indicating the different difficulty levels, but the fourth door had a unique display on it.

The display on the fourth door indicated that it was for [Floor 1-3-D]. Sig realized that this door would lead him to the third room, bypassing the second room straight to the third room. However, in exchange for taking this shortcut, he would have to face a higher level of difficulty than he had previously never dealt with.

"I don't want to rush this because I'm not sure if there's any benefit to going through the floor quickly. Based on my previous experience, jumping into something that seems too difficult could be harmful. The current 'C' difficulty level is already challenging for me, and I cannot even imagine how difficult the 'D' level would be. Therefore, I plan to continue using the third door choice for now and gradually increase my strength."

----------------------------------------------

[Floor 1-2-C]

[Mission: A well-known Murim Sect is now accepting new students. However, they have a strict selection process, and only the ten best candidates will be chosen to become disciples. Your goal is to make it into the top 10.]

[Time Limit: N/A ]

[Personalized Side-Mission: Become the disciple of a martial teacher.]

[Reward: Chain-Mission ]

*Note: Please keep in mind that the Chain-Mission is connected to the theme of the current room you are on. The difficulty level of the mission may be higher than what you can assess or handle at your current level.

Sig stood in in a vast, open field that stretches out before him as far as the eye can see. The grass beneath his feet is tall and lush, swaying gently in the soft breeze that blows through the area. The scent of wildflowers and fresh earth fills the air, and the sound of birdsong echoes in the distance.

To his left, there is a small, babbling brook that winds its way through the landscape, its crystal-clear water shimmering in the sunlight. Trees line the banks of the stream, casting dappled shadows on the ground below. The leaves rustle softly in the breeze, and small animals can be heard rustling around in the underbrush.

In front of Sig, was a towering cliff face that rises up into the sky, its rocky surface jutting out in sharp, angular formations. Waterfalls cascade down the sides of the cliff, their rushing streams crashing into the pool below with a deafening roar.

Beyond the cliff, there is a distant mountain range that stretches out to the horizon, its peaks covered in a blanket of snow and ice. The sky overhead is a brilliant shade of blue, dotted with fluffy white clouds that drift lazily on the breeze.

The scene is one of breathtaking natural beauty and awe-inspiring majesty, the perfect setting for a Murim-like world. It was unfortunate that Sig was not able to view such beaty right infront of him.

Sig was pleasantly surprised to find that the room had a theme he hadn't anticipated but was happy to see. He was a big fan of Murim light novels and had spent countless hours immersing himself in their fantasy worlds through audiobooks, which gave him a lot of entertainment and excitement. He often wondered how he would fare as the protagonist of such a world. Now he found himself in a situation where he could build such a character, starting with the selection of disciples, which is the beginning of most, if not all, Murim tales.

In the distance, Sig could hear a group of individuals gathered around a raised platform, which appears to be the location for the disciple selection trial. The platform is ornately decorated with intricate carvings and symbols, and it stands out as a stark contrast against the natural beauty of the surrounding landscape.

"I think this is the location where the selection process will take place, I am feeling pretty eager about it! Let's get started shall we?"
