Chapter 131

There was a secret that the Tower hadn't explained in the Room of Time.

[Quest: Resist for 7 days.]

Seven days.

168 hours.

10080 minutes.

604800 seconds.

That was how long he had to resist. Just as the Tower's rules said, time flowed in a precise way

But the Room of Time had a secret.

'As expected I wasn't mistaken.'

Shin YuSung, thanks to his Trait [Heightened Focus], could sense that subtle change. As time passed, his senses were being divided, his thoughts were leading to daydreaming, and the number of thoughts greatly increased.

'All of my senses have been separating since I entered.'

It was a curse and buff that was applied to the Room of Time called [Six-Sense Opening], and it was of great help to Shin YuSung.

Although he couldn't see anything in the middle of pitch-black darkness, the mana that flowed in his body was stronger than usualhe'd absorbed all of the Thousand-Year-Old Jade's mana.

The problem was what happened next.

His thoughts and senses had been increased without limits, so they were providing Shin YuSung with something he'd never experienced before.

[Super Awakening]

Shin YuSung felt his body breathing. It wasn't from his lungs, but his skin, which was something he usually wouldn't be able to feel.

His senses were in an unreal awakened state, and he felt each second as long as a minute. If it kept going on, he might be able to feel a second as if it were eternal.

'So was this what the Tower meant by a week'

Shin YuSung finally understood.

'This is why one cannot check how much time has passed.'

It was a Tower Trial, so the week it had mentioned wasn't a simple week. Shin YuSung couldn't tell how much time had passed.

A week could be made to feel like a year, or even 10.

Being woken up while unable to tell how much time had passed was the biggest fear most people had after they entered the Room of Time.

Right when Shin YuSung figured out the Room of Times secret

- From now on, you can forfeit the quest within the Room of Time.

The Tower's hologram appeared in front of him.

'Its as if it's been expecting it how explicit.'

Shin YuSung laughed while looking at the hologram.

[Yes / No]

Shin YuSung calmly pressed [No].

The Room of Time didn't seem willing to let a challenger pass. As he refused, his thoughts started to speed up.

[YuSung. Noona was born to rule.]

From memory to memory

[Everyone that receives the Shin-oh surname shares the same fate.]

Each meaningless scene passed to the next.

'The Room of Time extends sensesit's similar to when I increase my concentration'

Even Shin YuSung felt that time moved slower when he increased his concentration.

Others that entered the Room of Time also felt the time extending, which was a buff and a debuff simultaneously.

'What if I can control these senses on my own?'

Controlling the buffs of the hidden stage on their own That was impossible for most hunters.

If YuSung used his Trait, maybe it was possible.

'Stop my thoughts and try to revert the bodys senses to their original state.'

It was something he hadn't done before.

It was like awakening a new Traitit was on another level compared to absorbing the Thousand-Year-Old Jade's mana.

For Shin YuSung, using his Trait was as natural as breathing.

Fwoosh!

As if he were lighting up a dark cave, the more he applied mana to his body, the more he began recovering his senses.

As the mana reached his eyes, Shin YuSung smiled.

'I finally understand.'

Surprisingly, the darkness covering his eyes started to fade, and the unnatural sensation in his body started to disappear. He was able to see everything in front of him.

'I know why no one has been able to clear the hidden stage that could be found on the 2nd floor.'

He always found it strange that, among all of the Tower's challengers, no one had been able to clear a stage that was just about enduring for seven days. As long as there wasn't some hidden rule, it didn't make sense.

'So this is why no one was able to clear it before.'

As the darkness disappeared, he checked his Pocket.

[Timer: 167 hours - 59 seconds - 11 seconds]

It was exactly one minute before it became the seventh day.

As your senses were enhanced and time seemed to slow, it didn't matter how long you waited, the quest wouldn't endthe remaining one minute would feel eternal.

Shin YuSung had discovered the Room of Times secret.

'If I didn't have Heightened Focus I wouldn't have been able to clear it.'

That was what the Fist King had always talked aboutusing your Trait correctly.

[The 7 days have passed.]

[You've cleared the Hidden Stage, the 'Room of Time'.]

[Information: Time spent in the Room of Time doesnt pass outside.]

The minute passed, and the Tower's hologram appeared before Shin YuSung. He'd really cleared the hidden stage.

[May the blessings of the Tower follow.]

[Challenger Shin YuSung will be rewarded for clearing the hidden stage.]

[Clear: Room of Time]

[Reward: Time's Administrator (Trait Fortify)]

[Challenger Shin YuSung has been determined as a suitable person.]

"Trait fortify?"

Shin YuSung didn't even have time to be surprised as a golden light wrapped around his body.
