บท 234: Chapter 234: System's Multiplayer Challenge - 3

"Do you wish to withdraw from the challenge or advance to the next level?"

The question shone before them, clear and inescapable.

"If you advance, you will obtain a prize: the emblem of power."

These new words appeared below the initial question, adding a new level of complexity to their decision.

Silence stretched between them as they considered their options.

They had overcome the first challenge, but at a cost. Their mana was depleted, and they didn't know what other dangers might lurk in the next level.

On the other hand, the emblem of power sounded like a tempting reward.

What could it be? Would it be worth the risk? The promise of power hung in the air, tantalizing and dangerous.

Withdrawing now would mean returning with information about the first level of the challenge and the cores they had collected.

It would be the safe, prudent choice.
