Once the scene froze, colorful, bizarre hallucinations—like something out of a poisonous-mushroom trip—rose before their eyes again.
Then Iver returned to his seat. Before him was a world of light, a space of Pure White Void.
Three heavy stone doors stood before him.
Each door bore different runes. From left to right, they depicted a burning candle, a cross with four equal sides, and a geometric sun made up of a circle, four large triangles, and four small triangles.
—Candlelight Gate, Life Gate, Hope Gate.
The three stone doors represented the completion progress of the three class advancement quests.
The candle was nowhere near full, while the cross was roughly half-filled. The completed portion was a gentle blue-green, but the geometric sun had already turned completely gold and red.
Light shone through the gaps beneath the second and third doors, while the first was completely shut.
As long as one-third of the trial quest progress was complete, he could choose that advancement. If the advancement requirements had been met, the door would glow.
"...Two trials completed." Iver murmured.
What surprised Iver, however, was that the third door, the one belonging to the Beacon of Hope, was actually available to choose.
According to Iver's memories, this class seemed to have appeared relatively late. Before that, the only classes that could pass through the Hope Gate belonged to the monk line—the Dedication Path classes that were more prevalent around Horus and Annihilation.
But now that he thought about it... the classes in the real world did not always appear alongside version updates. Just like the Moulting Warlock and Mitra Worshiper, one could advance as long as one met the requirements.
"Strange..."
Iver remembered that advancing to Beacon of Hope required not only sufficient levels in Illumination Spell and Blessing Art, but also
