Near Amaterasu, Crow Forest.
A ruined temple stood somewhere in the dimly lit forest, its buildings covered in roots and moss. It had a stone tablet nailed to one of the walls that was half-crumbled.

At the yard of the crumbled temple, armored and well-equipped players examined the temple's ruined buildings. They weren't going inside, and so far, they had no intention of doing so.
A trio of players sat on top of a fallen rock beam and observed other players with a keen eye.
"As expected, everyone is now going for this trial because of the tournament." Anthon, a handsome black-haired young man, looked at the scene with a frown.
Cauldron and Ignite, his two good friends, were throwing small pebbles at the small circle on the ground. The small circle was obviously drawn by a wooden stick, and there was a black pebble in the middle of it.
Whoever lands their pebbles closer to the black pebble wins.
Cauldron flicked the small pebble, and it landed inside the small circle but bounced slightly to miss the black pebble by a small margin.
Ignite closed his left eye and gently tossed the small pebble over to the black pebble. It landed right beside the black pebble, gracing its side.
"Shit." Cauldron rolled his eyes.
"Hah, my victory. Pay up!" Ignite smugly shouted.
Cauldron sighed and gave him 1000 silver coins.
They were waiting for anything to happen in the trial of White Rock. It was discovered one week ago, but it hadn't been successfully completed.
It was the hardest trial so far, but because of the tournament, players who were aware of the White Rock trial went to try their luck in it as they expected there to be nice rewards after the completion.
"See, I would be the better partner for the tournament!" Ignite smugly said to Anthon. "I won again."
Ignite discreetly landed behind Cauldron and attempted to stab into his neck, but a hand grabbed him by his wrist.
Cauldron glanced at his eyes and quickly dodged the second dagger. He stabbed his longsword towards Ignite's waist, wanting to skewer him like a piece of kebab.
"Argh!" Ignite swung his arm down, smashed the dagger against the longsword's thick blade, and barely managed to deflect it before it graced his waist.
If it had landed on his body, this would've been his loss.
Ignite quickly leaped off the ground, wrapped his legs around Cauldron's head, and put him in a tight chokehold.
Cauldron's eyes bulged, and he struggled to breathe. He realized that he was in a bad position and felt like a fool for allowing Ignite to get so close to him.
He tightly grabbed Ignite's wrist and tried to shake him off, but he didn't loosen his chokehold, and instead it grew tighter.
'I-I am about to pass out!' Cauldron's eyes widened in shock, and the darkness started to fill his vision.
"Grrr!" Ignite raised his dagger and stabbed it towards Cauldron's face, using his current peril to finish this fight without waiting for him to pass out.
Anthon watched intensely, the corner of his lips rising up into a smile.
Cauldron's eyes slammed open, and he released an inhuman-sounding scream.
"Graaaah!" He grabbed the dagger-wielding hand by the wrist and stabbed it into Ignite's thigh.
"Ah!" Ignite's eyes widened in shock, and he lost the feeling on his legs, allowing Cauldron to shake him off.
Ignite crashed to the ground and looked at his dagger, which was stabbed inside his thigh.
He let out a frustrated groan and didn't stand up, as this meant it was his loss because he got injured first.
"Whoo... whoo..." Cauldron breathed heavily, his face covered in sweat, and he rubbed his neck, which had a large red mark.
"Good job, Cal." Anthon clapped his hands as he approached him. "I guess we are partners for the tournament!"
"Nn." Cauldron nodded slightly and glanced at Ignite with a cold look. "I guess I won, huh."
"Haha, I should've known you were a sore winner!" Ignite laughed and sheathed his daggers. "But I admit my loss this time!"
"Ignite, any ideas who you will partner up with?" Anthon asked curiously.
"Hmm, not sure~" Ignite shrugged his shoulders. "I'll find someone, and then I'll beat you two."
"Hmph." Cauldron scoffed and then saw some motion happening near the end of the temple, where there was a small entrance going inside one of the intact buildings.
"Oh, the first ones are going."
"Finally." Anthon rubbed his neck. "Let's do this trial."
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
