[ System has found irregularities with the players, analyzing the irregularities.]

Reign and the others were surprised by the system’s announcement. Irregularities? What was it talking about?

Ding!

[System has found that the players have received marks, players must finish the trials before advancing their classes.]

“What?!” Reign and the others were now shocked. They had heard from Eldar and the others trainers that the trials usually only occur once, at level 10 when players can choose a class the first time. The other advancements were usually done by the system after reaching the appropriate level.

“Eldar said that a trial is different for every single person, depending on how well you do there you will have a chance to get a better trainer and have rarer classes to advance to,” Shadow says while looking a bit worried. ．𝒄𝙤𝙢

It was natural after all. Before they were level 10 they did their best to become stronger and to be ready for the trials, only to find that they actually didn’t need to because of their exploits. Now after being relieved of such a thing, they were simply told that they had to do it in the end?

“It’s to be expected after all.” Wolf sighs from the side. “Compared to back then we are simply much stronger, after all, what kind of a level 18 player can decimate monsters of the same level like us, not to mention that even Elites are not worth mentioning when we go all out.”

“I agree, the system knows that, well that coupled with the marks that we got probably allow us to gain access to much stronger class advancements right away, so the system wants to restrict us.” Reign said while in a thinking pose. He didn’t know what to think of this, the system clearly wants to restrict their growth, but was that a bad thing, their powers have grown rapidly and if they continued that way then in the future they might not be able to get used to it, that would cause them to be much weaker compared to how strong they should be.

“I know what you’re thinking Reign.” Wolf chips in from the side again. “It’s probably what the system is doing, haven’t you realized it yet?”

Wolf swings his sword a couple of times in the air before doing a series of acrobatics.

“Huh?” Tank was scratching his head in confusion together with Greenie and Shadow.

“By looking at my stats actions like these should be easy, and they are but, there are certain problems when doing them, my body hasn’t completely adapted to its strength yet and sometimes I go too fast or too slow, my control over my body has become a bit lower than before,” Wolf explained everything patiently to everyone who tried doing a series of jumps, kick, punches and so on. Most were still confused as they still felt that it was the same as always.

It was only Reign and Beast that noticed differences. Even though they were minute and would not affect their fighting strength right now, it was of high importance that they train more to gain full control over their bodies again. If they continue like this then the difference would only grow larger until one day they could only use half of their strength correctly.

“I see, the trials are probably there to drain every iota of power out of us, something like that is bound to be helpful in the future,” Reign says while forming a fist with his right hand.

Wolf nods to Reign before looking around the building.

“Why hasn’t the dungeon ended though?”

“Right, last time it ended when we killed the boss.” Shadow comes closer to Reign and Wolf with the others.

“Probably because we haven’t found the anchor point yet.” Reign calmly states.

“The anchor point, so we need to find it huh.” Shadow rubs his chin while saying.

“Don’t worry, I can feel it, we’re not that far from it,” Reign says while everyone looks at him. Nobody asks him why he could feel it when nobody else could, they knew that Reign wouldn’t lie to them about such things.

“Now guys, shall we look at the items?” Reign asks everyone before they all go to the items.

The items were laying on the floor like usual, except for one. Two green daggers were floating in the air while slowly spinning. Everyone’s eyes were immediately drawn to them as they had never seen such a thing before.

After 5 days of forging the daggers were finished. Their blades will immediately inflict numerous debuffs on the enemy while slowly killing them from the inside.
