Synopsis

The chapter starts with the protagonist facing a battle golem with a constantly shifting core, which he overcomes using raw strength after loading a Hercules power-up. He is then given a time-limited reward room to boost his stats. Due to time manipulation during a previous event, he is unaware that his watch is behind, causing the timer to expire early, forcing him into a difficult, unexpected trial. He uses a special 'Trial Ticket' to prepare for the trial.
