Chapter 129
[You’ve entered the Hidden Stage, ‘Room of Time.’]
[Quest: Resist for 7 days.]
[Information: Time spent in the Room of Time doesn’t pass outside.]
The Tower’s hologram shining in the darkness was all he could see in front of him.
Paf!
As the hologram turned off, there was only darkness.
‘The Pocket isn’t working.’
Since he couldn’t see anything, he checked his ears. He noticed his hearing worsening until he was completely deaf.
‘The quest says that I must spend a week here… but I won’t know how much time has passed if it’s like this.’
After his hearing and sight were restricted, YuSung couldn’t even feel his body properly anymore.
It didn’t matter if he tried to open his eyes or move his body, he remained in complete darkness and emptiness. It was as if he were in the middle of a deep abyss.
‘Seven days in this state…’
He couldn’t eat or drink anything in the Room of Time; it was a place where all five senses were restricted. A normal person probably would lose his mind after the first day. The scariest thing was that there was no way to know how much time had passed.
‘This place was very carefully made.’
Senses were relative, after all, which was why people could only see if there was light, could hear if there was sound, and could feel if there was an object.
All of his senses were restricted in the Room of Time, so it felt that his existence was being erased.
‘I must keep calm in situations like this…’
The situation was something unknown to Shin YuSung. He’d never experienced something like that.
‘I must keep my head calm.’
Just as YuSung thought, relying on your senses to confirm your existence was dangerous.
It was as if you were floundering on top of the sea because you feared the water.
‘The fear comes from the unknown… Regardless of what sense the Tower takes from me, it doesn’t matter.’
Shin YuSung was alive—he was thinking on his own.
The only way the Room of Time could test him was through taking his senses away. Although a normal person would struggle, Shin YuSung thought nothing had changed.
‘After all, everyone has to spend seven days here.’
Shin YuSung decided to change his thoughts and take those seven days as an opportunity.
‘Rather than spending it doing nothing…’
YuSung had a buff that allowed him to decrease his tiredness level. To him, it was some sort of challenge. Just in case, he took hold of the mana within his body.
Swoosh-!
YuSung was finally able to feel something for the first time since he entered the Room of Time.
‘I can feel the mana…!’
Although he couldn’t see anything, the mana of the Thousand-Year-Old Jade flowed.
Thanks to that, Shin YuSung could confirm that he existed, but that wasn’t why he was happy.
‘I can train!’
He could train there effectively if he could feel mana within the Room of Time. It made him happy to know that. 
Even though he could increase his concentration, he couldn’t fully erase his senses, but that wasn’t the case in the Room of Time.
The hellish restrictions within the place were of great help to Shin YuSung.
‘This is great. After all, I even have the buff from the Tower.’
The Thousand-Year-Old Jade had strong mana, and he had difficulty dealing with it due to its special characteristics.
Condensation…
The Thousand-Year-Old Jade had been formed over the course of a thousand years, so it was as hard as adamantine.
Although it had incredible strength, such strength was too hard to pull and use as he pleased, which was why he had to transform the mana to be similar to his own.
Thus, YuSung had decided to destroy the Thousand-Year-Old Jade’s mana with his own as if he were crushing a stone.
Of course, crushing something like the Thousand-Year-Old Jade wasn’t easy.
‘If I focus my attention for seven days, it should be perfectly doable…’
Not only that, but the days he spent there would be only an instant in real life.
To think he’d be able to clear the hidden stage and even absorb the mana of the Thousand-Year-Old Jade. It was a great opportunity for him.
‘I can’t wait to see what I get out of this.’
Even the infamous Tower’s hidden stage couldn’t stop YuSung, the disciple of the Fist King’s, forward progress.

After having a simple breakfast, taking a bath in a small tub, shopping in the hunter’s city, and watching a horror movie as they ate cookies, night came, and they finished their pajama party.
Sumire and EunAh had spent an entire day together.
It was time for them to go to sleep.
Sumire and EunAh used the orca as a pillow.
