[The abyss has resonated with your desires]

[You are not qualified for the third trial of death]

[Show your worth, Gain the qualifications]

[The abyss is watching]

The message disappeared with this but left Raith even more confused than before.

"Proof my worth? What the fuck is that supposed to mean? I jumped into a volcano isn't that enough for you?!"

Raith's complaints disappeared into the cold wind, he sat cross-legged and looked into the clear white sky.

'...It has been frustrating... but it has been progressive. And as I said, if walking this path is how I will gain the power I need. Then I won't dread it.'

He nodded and lowered his head with a smile then went inside afterward.
