Lee Gun furrowed his brows at the notification. A while ago, he had received a related notification.

[When you reach level 10, you will go through a special trial.]

[According to the disposition you have established up to this point, the trial will be used as a base to activate a special quest.]

[Serpent Bearer’s Awakening (SSS rank)]

He had thought it was a simple awakening question. Now, he could understand why it was called a trial.

[Until you pass your trial, your EXP will stay stagnant.]

[Until you pass your trial, your innate skill <Death Instinct> will remain locked.]

[Time limit for clearing the trial: 239hrs 58m 12s!]

[Caution! If you are unable to pass the trial, additional penalties will be applied.]
