Synopsis

The chapter begins with a challenging floor trial forcing the players to find a soul-switched 'shadow' among them, or else face sacrifices. The protagonist then reveals a powerful mana-based invention, and seeks to leave the current floor. He is then approached by Han Sungmin, a clan leader, who sees through his attempts to join their clan, recognizing his involvement in prior events and challenges him to clear the 10th floor again to prove his value, setting up a deal.
