Synopsis

The protagonist encounters Eve, their assistant, who reveals they've been stuck in the Tutorial Tower for years. However, Eve can't provide any answers about the tower's origins or their imprisonment because the protagonist has low 'information authority'. Eve explains that to gain access to this knowledge, the protagonist needs to become an official Guardian by acquiring a key in the deepest part of an upcoming crevasse, which will increase their information authority. The chapter ends with a cliffhanger as a 'huge disaster' is teased related to the crevasse.
