Synopsis

The chapter opens with the protagonist entering a legendary area, a hunting ground with a secret, and recalls its significance as the starting point for a Hunter's legend. He bypasses the typical entry process due to his knowledge and begins the trials set by the 'Troll Hunter,' Ryarus. These trials involve defeating enemies in the dark and finding a young troll, utilizing the protagonist's knowledge of the area and a shorter-range axe. The protagonist passes the first trial, but is interrupted by a Rock Golem, suddenly emerging and reminding the protag of Kyarus.
