บท 323: Collecting Rewards

The first thing Jake did while breathing in the fresh air of the island was to realize that underground or outdoors, it didn't make much difference. It was as dark inside as outside. His second action was to re-check his Player Ranking for the umpteenth time and his anxiety rose slightly when he noticed that the number of participants had dropped again.

Jake felt like he had been on this island for years, but it had really only been 53 days since his Second Ordeal had started. He had only been on the island for just over a month. In fact, he still hadn't broken his grandfather's record.

"Lucky old man! "Jake muttered as he set off towards the island's center, shaking the earth with every step he took.

He was pretty sure that not every second Ordeals was like that. He had just confirmed that there were only 196 participants left on this island. If his grandfather's Ordeal had been so difficult, he had to reassess the old man's abilities.
