The st embers of the Ursa Venator's massive corpse crackled as Dodge ensured every trace of the battle was burned away. Smoke curled through the cave, carrying the st of charred flesh, but her she nor Audi flihey had seen far worse.

  Without wasting another sed, Dodge quickly pressed the Data Remote. A meical hum echoed through the cave as a shimmering portal materialized before them. The air crackled with energy.

  From within the swirling void, a t figure emerged a full-armored warrior bck steel.

  y.

  Audi, still covered in blood—his mouth, hands, and clothes stained from his uling hunger, looked up at the imposing figure. His breath was heavy, his mind still reeling from the battle.

  "Did we pass?" he asked, his voice raw.

  y remained silent, his cold, unreadable gaze log onto them. The tension in the cave thied as Dodge ched her fists, waiting for the verdict.

  Then, finally, y spoke.

  "Yes."

  Relief washed over Dodge as she exhaled sharply. Audi simply nodded, swallowing the st lingering traces of iron from his mouth.

  y crossed his arms. "Are you ready to pick your job now?"

  Dodge blinked in surprise. "Already?"

  y shook his head. "Not yet. First, yourselves up. Tomorrow, I will tell you about the Css Skills and the you are suited for."

  With a swift motion, he reached into his iory and tossed two gleaming objects toward them.

  The Neckce of Three.

  A thin , simple yet undeniably powerful, with a small crystal pendant embedded at its ter. The moment Audi and Dodge caught them, the gems pulsed with a soft glow.

  "These neckces are your true identification as adventurers. Wheime es, they will shine upon your chosen Job Statue, marking your path in the world."

  Then, y raised his own neckce for them to see. Uheirs, his had two crossed axes engraved into the pendant. The metal gleamed with an a, battle-worn aura.

  "And when you truly embrace your job, the neckce will transform. Look at mi has bee the Neckce of the Warrior. This neckce allows me to ehe Warrior Vilge, a hidden floor on Tower 20.5. It's a secret pce that only those with the right neckce access. It acts as a key."

  Audi and Dodge exged gnces, gripping their neckces a little tighter.

  A symbol of their future. A path that would soon be decided.
