Ding!
[You have completed the quest: Gates of Enlightenment’ Trial (3).]
[Your authority level within the Gates of Enlightenment has been increased by one. Your current authority level is now Level 4.]
[You have gained a new quest: Gates of Enlightenment’ Trial (4).]
“Hmm?” Taking a look at the notification he had received from the system, Valyr raised his eyebrows in curiosity once he read that he had gained an authority level.
Not long after, this curiosity was soon directed towards the quest he had completed. Specifically, the quest he had decided to save for later after finishing the Trial of Myriad Aberrations.
“I guess I should have taken the time to check the quest when I still had it.” Seeing that the quest had already disappeared from his system, the young man bitterly smiled as he faintly let out a sigh, wondering if he should share the quest with the other four.
Though, just as he was about to ponder over the quest’s details for the meantime and save the talk for later, a prompt suddenly appeared in front of his field of vision.
Ding!
[Would you like to do the quest ‘Gates of Enlightenment’ Trial (3)’ again?]
“What?” For a while, Valyr stood frozen in place as the gears in his mind madly turned. Briefly contemplating whether or not to accept the prompt, the young man recalled the authority level he had gained from completing the quest… which unsurprisingly led him to responding yes.
Ding!
[You have gained a new quest: Gates of Enlightenment’ Trial (3).]
Hearing the notification sound resound in his mind once more, Valyr went ahead and commanded the system to bring up the quest’s description, reading through the entire thing in great detail.
“I see.” By the time he had reached the end of what was contained on the screen, the young man let out a faint chuckle as he decided to send a message to the others in the party chat.
“Now I understand what’s going on.”
Ding!

[Gates of Enlightenment’ Trial (3)] (Linked Quest) (Time-limited Quest) (Repeatable Quest)
Difficulty: B
The Gates of Enlightenment is considered to be a paradise for many, allowing those that have entered its gates to improve greatly on their abilities within a small amount of time.
Though it is unknown as to why such a place exists in an inheritance, the gains one would obtain from such a place could be carried outside, allowing one to stand head and shoulders above others without fear.
By completing the trial given to you by the Gates of Enlightenment, you have successfully become one of its bona fide members, designating you as a being that greatly stands above the rest.
However, now that you’ve become a part of the Gates of Enlightenment, you’ve come to find that you’ve only taken the first step in what could be considered a long journey to the top.
While searching for ways to reach the top, you find out that above the Gates of Enlightenment is yet another gate. Though, unlike the Gates of Enlightenment, its members are considered the elite among the elite, the geniuses among geniuses, the cream of the crop.
As someone who has become a bona fide member of the Gates of Enlightenment, it goes without saying that you also have the abilities to become a part of this higher gate.
Of course, you’ve got to prove to the Gates of Enlightenment that you have what it takes to become part of it in the first place.
Quest Objective:
> Kill 100 Primitive Humanoids (0/100)
Quest Reward:
> Increased level of authority within the Gates of Enlightenment
Quest Penalty:
> None
[Note: This quest can only be obtained and completed within the Four Pillars’ Inheritance. Leaving the inheritance is considered as forfeiting the quest.]

While sending out a message to the others about a quest that would increasing their authority levels within the Gates of Enlightenment, Valyr deftly commanded the system to bring up the quest he had just gained, not wanting to make the same mistake as before.

The Gates of Enlightenment… description has been omitted.
Of course, you’ve got to prove to the Gates of Enlightenment that you have what it takes to become part of it in the first place.
|| Addendum: By showcasing your great strength and willpower in combat, the Gates of Enlightenment have deemed you eligible to be a part of this higher gate.
However, the Gates of Enlightenment warns you that your eligibility is shoddy at most from doing so, greatly lacking when compared to those that have entered the higher gates in the past.
With that, the Gates of Enlightenment suggests that you take on a challenge that only a few have attempted in history. By doing so, not only will the higher gates accept you with open arms…
But the Gates of Enlightenment would also give you rewards that would aid you further in your journey. ||

“This is the ticket we’ve been looking for, huh.” Letting out a faint chuckle once he was done reading through the other quest he gained, Valyr returned his attention to the party chat, frowning once he had read the replies he had gotten to his message.
‘They didn’t get any quest like that?’ thought the young man to himself, wondering what could be the cause behind him being the only one among them to get the repeatable quest.
Eventually, he came to the conclusion that the reason why the quest popped up might have something to do with the First Forger quest he gained. After all, a lot of the information he gained regarding the Triad Gates came from it.
Nevertheless, the young man found it to be a dilemma if only he was eligible to enter the Gates of Awakening because of it. Faintly hoping that the inheritance would show him other ways to enter the inheritance, Valyr told the others to keep fighting against the primitive humanoids since he had already reached 100 kills.
In response to that, the others sent the number of primitive humanoids they had killed so far, telling the young man to wait for a bit for them to reach the same number.
Thankfully for Valyr, once the others had reached 100 kills, the quest he was talking about had appeared in their system.
Letting out a faint sigh of relief, he reminded everyone that they would meet up at the south quadrant an hour after sunset. After receiving replies to his reminder, the young man closed the party for the meantime before returning his attention to the humanoids with a slight grin.
“Though you guys may not have sentience…”
“I’ll have to thank you for your sacrifices in advance.”
