[You have completed the Trial Quest.]
[Appropriate rewards will be distributed.]
[You have obtained 100 World Points.]
[You have obtained Random Stat Rune (Common).]
[The system's function, "Spatial Storage" has been unlocked.]
'Spatial Storage? What's that?' Radan thought, observing his surroundings filled with curious adventurers. His eyes then saw some others touching the space as though there was something there.
Radan mimicked them, only to garner the attention of those nearby.
"What are you doing, Radan? Is there a mosquito here?" Khan asked in wonder.
"Sigh, what's with these country bumpkins?" The white-haired woman let out an expressive sigh.
"If you are attempting to access the Spatial Storage, just try to think about it as you reaches for space... Like this."
Crack.
The white-haired woman extended her hand onto nothingness as she showed to Radan and Khan how to access their respective Spatial Storage. She then retrieved the Random Stat Rune she acquired as a reward.
"Hoh? This is amusing, the ignorance of new adventurers, I mean." The angelic being cut off everyone's little reverie and curiosity.
With her melancholic voice, she continued, "With that aside, here's the list of top performers in this region. Ah! I seem to have forgotten; there are many regions with similar cases to all of you.
"What I mean by similar... is that there are others who showed their boring sob stories, too. Anyway. If you see your name, then you are in for a hefty reward."
Snap!

"Huh? What the hell's with this result? Is this even real?"
"Who's Rahkeid? No, it's not just him! Hundred plus kills... Is that even possible?"
"The fuck? Japanese-sounding surnames and there are siblings, too? H–hey! Miss Angel, are you certain we're all first timers here?! This doesn't feel right!"
"Yeah! Something's off! How could I, a grown adult couldn't even kill twenty goblins?!"
"These bastards are giving off the main character vibes! That's just unfair!"
The queries from the crowd erupted, which was warranted considering the absurd results that simply defied logic.
"Since when I permitted you all to speak? Shut your mouths, you bugs!"
Tremble!
The angelic being's voice reverberated, shaking the entire separate dimension for the newly chosens of the Tower, causing for those who complained to involuntarily gave up their knees due to inexplicable fear.
"Listen, you filths. Luck is one among the greatest factors an adventurer should have as it increases the chance of surviving.
"That aside, if you are lucky, then your Divine Blessing could be something that assists your growth to quickly become stronger than others. So what if they managed to kill hundreds of measly goblins? Then no matter how you do it, just do better onto the next! For heaven's sake!"
Without a room for discussion, the angelic being with cold expression snapped her fingers.
Snap.
[The appropriate rewards for Top Performers has been delivered.]
"Oops, we're not done yet. There are those who failed to kill ten goblins and collect ten Mana Stones. Sigh, lazy insects who couldn't even do that much."
"Wh–what's going to happen to us?!"
"F–fuck! Is that why I was not notified of success rewards?! I don't want to die!"
"Is it really d–death? Just send us back, please and kill what you deemed as my loved ones!"
"Hoh? Bold statement, but do you think I care?"
Snap.
At that moment, the entire existence of those who failed to complete the Trial Quest's objectives had been erased. Their bodies cracked as though they were fragile glass as beams of lights exploded from within.
Remaining Adventurers: 7,305/20,000
As everyone received what was meant for them based on their efforts, and when the failures' existence was snuffed out to oblivion, the angelic being subtly looked above as though something or someone was conveying to her a word or two, prompting her to smirk.
Snap!
"Adventurers, since there are many survivors compared to the other regions, a special quest will be conducted to reduce and to truly identify the worthy.
"Ah, don't worry. It's not as cliche as something like asking you to murder each other. That's boring as hell.
"Anyway. Prepare yourselves for twenty-four hours."
No one could utter a word or two because of what had transpired earlier.
Snap!
When the angelic being snapped her fingers and disappeared through the crack that leads somewhere, the scattered surviving adventurers were left alone with nothing but themselves.
[Dimensional Healing (Body) has been cast.]
[Your body has been rejuvenated.]
[Tower Store LVL. 1 has been temporarily unlocked.]
Thanks to the parting gift of the angelic being before the next hurdle, Radan and the others began preparing for what's next, even though it was yet to be known.
***
If there was one thing that noticeably changed, it's that some adventurers began looking for companions, especially those among the rankings that killed more than ten goblins, at the very least.
Surprisingly, Radan and Khan were enlightened about their saviors' identities.
"Y–You are Azalea Miryo? Then the other two..." Khan's gaze swept past the burly man and a young girl.
"So you're Rei Steelhart while this girl's identity is Yuna Han?" Radan interjected, gaining affirmation from Azalea, their acting leader.
This caused Radan and Khan, though they barely knew each other given the circumstances, to glance at each other, albeit briefly. Their countenance was filled with suspicions.
What if there were some adventurers sitting here who weren't first timers? What would that imply then?
"I know what you're thinking, but we are first timers. However, even before this crap, we're already friends together."
"Right... Friends who somehow were swept and transported here altogether. That speaks random at all." Khan muttered while Radan fell silent.
The latter then interjected, "Azalea, I don't care what secrets you are hiding if there truly are, but I want to express my gratitude again." Radan slightly lowered his head.
The three of them briefly looked at each other's eyes.
"You are welcome, Radan." Azalea said, her tone serene.
After that, Azalea diligently guided these two clueless bumpkins about the basics of using the system's functions, at least those that were currently available.
Radan and Khan also learned something about these three close friends, whose names seemed not to match their respective nationalities.
"Your Status is very private; it's something that must not be shown even to a trusted comrade unless it's truly necessary.
"Anyway. That's all. Let's bring something out from the Tower Store; I'm hungry." Azalea instructed them as each one purchased a ready-to-eat beef jerkies and bottled water.
Amidst this silence as they were filling their empty stomachs, Radan muttered in his mind, 'Status.'
