When he shouted unintentionally, she sighed “Why are you pretending to be okay when your body is in this state?”
“If I rest for today, I’ll be all better” He was confident because his staic recovered rather quickly
“Don’t be stubborn Anyway, this Cave of Trials is quite fun in its oay” The Frost Queen took a seat at the edge of the bed “How many trials are left?”
“I don’t know exactly But most people think that it stops at level 10”
“Level 10So there are still seven [1] trials left that are as perverse as yesterday’s?”
“Yes” Seo Jun-Ho nodded but he was getting slightly worried
‘Gray, the Administrator, said he’d raise the difficulty of the trials and change their contents a bit…’
But except for a few trivial things, the trials weren’t very different so far In the Cave of Trials, the levels would get progressively difficult
‘It’s driving me crazy But I’d rather have the ball drop earlier than later’
He was starting to worry because the Cave of Trials was easier than he expected
“How do you feel? You have not seen your co time”
“It doesn’t matter They were just illusions” He suddenly reet to meet my parents in the trial,” he muttered They showed up the first ti since he saw them that he cried
“Your parents? Why would they appear in the Phantom Trials?” The Frost Queen asked
“What do you mean why? They’re both dead” Seo Jun-Ho directly responded
The Frost Queen was dumbfounded at his blunt response “Huh? Ah, II seemed to haveti, I suppose” She patted Seo Jun-Ho’s shoulder with her se too, so I can sympathize”
“Really? How old were you?”
“Six”
“What? That’s worse than h” He was surprised He looked at her with pity
“There is no need to look attime for me as well”
“Yeah We’re in the sah, he had quite a bit of commonality with the Frost Queen At ti sometimes
“What is the next Trial?”
“Inso about it “You have to stay awake for ten days without sleeping”
“What? Ten?! What a difficult Trial”
“It’s the Trial thatup for a day or tas pretty easy Even non-Players could do that
‘But ten daysThat’s on a different level’
You would have to stay awake for 240 hours and give up the most important of the three basic human necessities
“The Guinness World Record for staying awake is eleven days straight”
“Ah, theywillpower”
“Actually, it was a nore hadn’t been good In an interview the next day, the challenger had a noticeably decreased me auditory hallucinations[2]
‘Since I’m a Player, I didn’t have those kinds of setbacks last time’
This didn’t mean that the Insomnia Trial was easy After all, this Trial sent theback to sleep”
“Wait Has it not been less than an hour since you awakened?”
“I have to sleep a lot when I can” He had to be as sharp as he could before he stayed up for ten days straight
Seo Jun-Ho slept for another 13 hours His eyes opened a few times, but he forced hireat” Seo Jun-Ho’s eyes sparkled How long had it been since he had taken a break and slept this well? He suddenly stopped with a peculiar look on his face “Wait…Really, I think it’s been a few years since I had a rest like this”
He technically slept in the ice for 25 years, but his body had been so worn out that it didn’t feel refreshi+ng
“This is the first tied the Cave of Trials” In Gray’s words, it had been 28 years and 7 le day off fro and only slept a maximum of 6 hours a day
“Are you ready?”
“Yes Everything’s perfect” Seo Jun-Ho nodded confidently “Let’s go”
He stepped out of the door
“I wish to continue to the 4th level”
[Warning: Once the 4th Trial begins, you cannot sleep for ten days]
[Are you sure you want to proceed?]
Seo Jun-Ho once again felt that the Gate was too kind to the Players “But if you’re gonna be this nice, at least lower the difficulty a bit,” he grumbled
Afterward, he nodded “Proceed”
[Level 4: The Insoram timer appeared on the cavern wall
239:59:59
It depicted the time that Seo Jun-Ho had to stay awake
